[No longer updated] Pizza Sticks: Flameblast Totem Hierophant

Just wanted to write more detailed, not all know English well...

why mind over matter if we are already using cloak of defiance. if im not mistaken mom dont stack

he rather takes it to get the mana nodes behind it.

cloak of defiance isnt the best choice in slots...its only providing more mana and more regen

What about using 6 link Soul Mantle. extra gem slot and extra totem could be good, right?

Absolutely, I am going the Soul Mantle route with Glacial Cascade and the Self-Flagellation jewel. The mantle is 4L only (5L effectively with the built-in spell totem) and I am destroying mid-level maps with mediocre gear. I can't wait to 6L it.

Is there nothing else to look up for if you want to build this into a Glacial Cascade build? No other skill tree? No other gear? Just the gem setups?

A 6L Soul Mantle would essentially be a 7L setup. What kind of extra gem could we put in that kind of setup?

For a 4L I am using: GC + Phys to Lightning + Increased Crit + Increased AoE (sometimes swapped for Conc Effect for bosses)
For a 5L I have just added Added Fire.
For a 6L I will experiment with Controlled Destruction or Faster casting. For bosses swap to Elemental Focus, as it is a huge damage increase (almost 50% more Ele damage) and we're not freezing bosses anyway.

GC Build is actually strong, with minimum investment.
I feel bad, you made a guide for Flameblast, yet everyone focuses on GC.
Hopefully you get the credit you deserve!

I am not using any Unique body armor, resistances are too scarce with my unique set up!
Essence Worm, Kaoms Roots, 2x Divinarus, and a glove I've always fantasized about using and finally do!

Any suggestions on improvements is welcomed!

I have an effective life pool of 5.5k+ (4k HP, 1.1k ES, 1.4k Mana)
Tooltip DPS/ Totem = 31k @ Level 78
About 75 Crit without Assassin's Mark, Power Charges, or Flasks considered.

Maybe a stupid question but I want to know before I buy, does the glacial Cascade helm enchant work when in totem form?

Yes, every enchant and stat on your gear gets applied to your totems.

I still followed the build and skill tree of this guide but just using GC, so it's a very useful guide. Though, I don't know what to change to my skill tree that's better for GC than pizza sticks.
