Hey is the Infused Channeling Support still worth it even though the totems can not receive infusion. It seems it sort of negates a good majority of the usefulness of the gem.

The more multiplier alone beats every other gem except Ele Focus.



So, I reached level 84 and Tier 10 maps and it has been extremely easy to level with Holy Flame Totem up to now. I changed some stuff around, mostly OP had the wrong gems in the thread. But thats because we did not have it in PoB to actually try stuff out.

You WILL want to use Faster Projectiles, without it the clear is very mediocre. And then for hard bosses swap in Slower Projectiles. Hard bosses, map bosses up to T10 fall in seconds even if you leave Faster Projectiles in.

I would advice to level with EO and then spec out of it when you have around 30-40% crit chance. I specced out of it around level 72.

I also decided to take Tukohama, It seems to make more sense as we only have 3 ECs, so getting the other two Chieftain passives is not that great. And because of that I can use Ele Focus. According to PoB the best links for me are

Holy FLame Totem
Multiple Totems
Ele Focus
Slower Proj/Faster Proj
Infused Channeling
Fire Penetration


What else... Ah yes, the mana problems... I have not yet found a way to solve those. Anger and HoA simply give too much damage to take them out.* Instead it makes more sense to give up the amulet slot and use Atziris Foible. With it and two pretty nice rings with mana regen I am barely able to keep up with the clear speed. If anybody has a solution to the mana problems, let me know.

And please feel free to take a look at my character and let me know of any obvius improvements I have missed. I have around 150c atm so can afford some upgrades if they are worth the investment.

*To that point, HoA+Anger are the way to go... HoP does NOT work. There are no Sentinels spawned by your totems, at most you get a few when you hit something with your Orb of Storms or whatever you are using. I have absolutely no idea why some people keep insisting that HoP works with totems... It is clearly worded the same as every other Herald, they do not proc on Traps, Totems or Mines. And having it tested multiple times myself, I can only conclude that the people that keep insisting (looking at you OP) are either trolling or playing a different game.

And on Anger vs Hatred, it is not even close. Anger is almost double the damage.

dont know what you are doing wrong but the totems 100% spawn sentinels with HoP, just look at others replying to you as well.

Hi there, thank you for your input...

Herald of Puritiy seems to only spawn sentinels when we hit rare enemies... so what? that is exactly when we need them. Not sure where your damage number come from but according to my PoB: (For mana reservation, without reservation per Flame totem ~ 206k dps)
1) Herald of Ash (51k, 25%)
2) Zealotry (37k, 50%)
3) Hatred (26k, 50%)
4) Anger (24k, 50%)
5) Herald of Purity (11k + 2,4k per Sentintel, total: 20,6K, 25%)

So for still the best option is HoA & HoP then are left with 50% unreserved mana and can go for something like clarity which would help to solve any mana problems or Arctic Armour for more survivability...

I will definitly test out Faster Projetiles and I think I will take it into my Holy Flame Totem setup.
