re: 3rd blue - path of building community fork is good for figuring this out, but in gardening league, we did FP/controlled destruction/increased critical strikes.
Tried a double corrupt & got lucky. Colouring a corrupted item is going to be a nightmare though:

Thank you -- you're right I really should just experiment within PoB for that. Good luck at the crafting bench @_@

I won't bother trying to make it until I've got a normal 6L first, but I wonder if it's worth doing this via socket crafting? Add/remove sockets from 1 to 2 until both are off-colour, then the same to 3 and to 4, THEN 5 socket recipe, 6 socket recipe?
380 chroms (and thus vaals) on average to colour 6 sockets. In this case, chroms and jewellers cost about the same, so if you can get to 4 off colours via jewellers alone, it seems like it must be cheaper.
Edit: 100 vaal & chrom to get GGR, then 13 vaal & jewellers per try to get the 4th to green. Is that 1/6? If so, 178 vaal spent so far. Then 70 more to get 5 sockets, which fails 1/3 times assuming 1/6 odds again. So that's 105 expected cost. Total price is 383, then 1/3 chance at failing 350 cost to 6 socket it, which is ~117. Total cost is 500 vaal vs. colouring it manually with vorici 1g at 380 expected cost.
Oh well!

You kinda brought this onto yourself, by not doing the sockets first :D
In regards to coloring, i personally would still go the 1G bench route.
Jeweller method can end up being hella expensive. Evenmore so, when you also have to pay the vaals.
Hey Wallach, while I'm not playing this build this league(taking a break from totems), I watched you play it for while on Twitch, and I admit that it's doing much better than I thought it would....You seem to be handling content quite easily.... Can I get your impression/thoughts?, now that you are mapping?
Having played totems in 90% of the leagues, my impression at level 86 in this league is that this build is perfectly viable (still). I feel like the nerfs just made these kind of totem builds more interesting - it's like you have to pay more attention to where your damage is coming from and how to build on and stack that, when previously it almost felt like you're getting "free" damage here and there without thinking about it too much.
So theorycrafting and build building -wise it's way more fun now. If you're a type of player who "strictly" follows build guides and adds nothing personal to the build, I'd say you would feel around 10% nerfed compared to previous patches.
All in all, perfectly viable build which is way more interesting to personalize and build on top of in this patch.
awesome! thanks for the information. I appreciate it!

I just uploaded my latest league start progress video going over the weekend if you want to hear about that in more detail, but the short version is that the build is mostly fine.
I definitely do still think they need to go back and restore some of the damage from Pursuit of Faith because it strikes me as a pretty unjustified nerf, but I think the effects of that are mostly going to be felt in the highest end map clear type content like juiced up Delirium maps and such. We also did get the totem placement speed moved up from second Labyrinth to first Labyrinth, which makes the totem-focused builds feel better while leveling earlier on.
More annoyance than concern for my part.
Great! Thanks. and thanks for keeping the guide so up to date on the trees, gear ,gems and leveling process! I'll probably run this as my 2nd character....
