I wont be able to test this until tonight but does anyone know if power charges gained from skyforths apply to the totem or the character? Wondering if this make a different at all.

First time playing a totem build myself but I am fairly certain they apply the same as power charge on crit would, to your character.

Bad news.. I tested last night with skyforths and power charge on critical strike with FB totems does not proc for my character.

"Level 68: CI time! You can make the swap earlier but this is probably about where most people will be comfortable doing so. The swap will take about 15 respec points"

lol. SO wrong..

Did you try using Orb of Storms and see if it procs with that? Totems may not proc it since you are not casting FB but orb of storms should still I would assume.

If that works you may be able to work it out where orb of storms procs 2 curses. That might be sexy but would cost atleast 4 skill points or a lucky amulet.

At level 62 atm (act 2 merciless), planning on going CI after reaching dried lake. Can someone help respec into CI? Which skill points would you ditch?

daggers with cast speed? looked on poe.trade just for cast speed, nothing else. doesnt exist. googled it. daggers with cast speed doesnt exist. why do you write it down here? o.o

Daggers with cast speed most certainly do exist... Cast speed is not an innate stat it is a rolled suffix

Noob here. When you say it's not an innate stat does that mean it can't be found on a dropped item? Can you only get it via essences of misery? Or does "rolled suffix" mean it can be rolled on a found item?

I havent tried that but I will remove power charge gem and try tonight. If it works what would be the best two curses to run? Temp chains + enfeeble?

Innate meaning that its a natural stat on that item also known as an "Implicit Modifier". For daggers they all have Global Critical Strike Chance every time they drop.

A blue or Yellow dagger can drop with Cast Speed on it as a suffix stat or be rolled with an essence of misery or randomly with a chaos / chance / regal.

I assumed Khazicx was looking for daggers with cast speed as their Implicit Modifier which do not exist.

I would do Temporal Chains / Enfeeble or Temporal Chains / Flammability

Enfeeble adding more survival / Flammability adding more damage which ever you feel would be most beneficial.
