[No longer updated] Pizza Sticks: Flameblast Totem Hierophant

Here's a recap of the last ~20 pages when it comes to using GC instead of FlameBlast in 3.0, but there's still also a few things that could use more details and confirmations.

Gem changes
FlameBlast: Faster Casting / Inc Crit Strikes
GC: Physical to Lightning / Inc Crit Damage (is inc damage better than strikes here?)
Auras: Anger (FlameBlast) switches to Hatred (GC)

Questions
1. Bandits? Still sticking with killing everyone (still some confusion)?
2. Do any skill nodes change, perhaps due to not needing as much cast speed?
3. Should we ascend to Heiro for 4 totems (most people seem to think yes)?
4. Since this is using life/MoM now and not ES, the gear section could use an update.
5. Anything else worth mentioning about using GC in HC?
6. Pros and cons vs daggers/shield/scepter combos in the context of HC?

-- Double post (forums seem a bit broken)

hello,

is assassin's mark working?

i watched it several times now- spell totems casting flame blast, i am cursing with assassin's mark, while haven't max life and i dont get e.g. +16 life when killed a minion

Just wondering on what can be different in this build for GC To spike damage? level 80 sitting at 9k tooltip - Seems a bit weak in tier7 maps. Any suggestions?

Doesn't look like any curses are working properly for me either...

Lol)) wooden warriors))

Alright. I feel Stuck - What can i improve on -



These are my current gear - Does Brine helmet / Defiance Chest really improve Surviving and or Damage per second on Glacial Cascade? I don't exactly know what to do to make a totem one hit packs like it say it should? I have to put two down and dance for awhile lol.

Any feed back is good feed back.

Replace faster cast with Phys to Lightning? Im just going by whats written in the guide, hope it helps.
