[No longer updated] Pizza Sticks: Flameblast Totem Hierophant

Great build i am currently playing it SSF Legacy ,have so much fun,so far didnt have any fancy items
so i can tell is great for SSF gameplay.I do have a question is there any other way to generate power charges other than manually cast orb of storms?
thanks

What are two most important stats for dagger/sceptre? Cast speed / spell damage / crit chance? Im playing two week race and there are no 3 stat daggers :)

Hi all, did anyone test this build on Beta? Did the changes on ignite/burning affect it? Was considering it as my league starter on 3.0, but only if it still end game viable.

to the OP just wondering why no fire pene for hiero?

Because the setup for your totems is really tight. Fire Pen is only more damage than CD against Shaper and Guardians, and if you're planning on doing those then please don't go Hiero.

In my setup the ignite damage is way less. Maybe your setup is better? Can you share the pastebins for these?

Not really. Whatever you do to make power charges is going to involve manually casting something, and Orb of Storms is the most efficient. It's a drawback of being totems.

Don't try for daggers on short duration events, just use a sceptre and shield. Cast speed daggers are too hard to get.

The changes do nerf it a bit, but it will still be good. The life versions also got buffs which allow you to push further without expensive CI gear.

Real life gear from league start. Almost the same skilltree. 3 skill point in burning damage and 3 in damage over time, but even without it ignite dps still stronger than initial hit

Do nodes like Mental Rapidity and Nimbleness increase the cast speed from which totems cast FB?

Gear from first char in legacy. Had imported him to PoB not later than 2 weeks from league start to check stats. Rerolled after that few times to another builds so cant show in my profile

P.S. FB totems was most OP thing among all totems builds and im thankful author for sharing it, but looks like it didnt work good for 3.0

Yep!

So with this new Arcane Surge thing this build might actually not lose any damage. Maybe even gain a bit. Weird.

Just need to fiddle with the links a bit. Chuck Arcane Surge on all our utility skills because we definitely have the sockets to spare, and it should have 100% uptime.

Have to see whether the gem has any changes made before it goes live though.
