[3.0] Quad Glacial Cascade Totems - Fun and Cheap!
" Great changes! I personally don't mind the self cast curse with totem builds but the quality of life change to combine it with orb of storms is a nice touch. If you have enough damage you can swap to the life/resist totem nodes on the totem circles in the tree if that is a better option. " Thanks for the feedback! ♥ we all go tissues ♥

" We are getting Spell totems who cast Glacial Cascade skill. Not in reverse. U just need to link Spell Totem to Glacial Cascade and place totems. |

Why culling strike? It gives effectiv 10% more damage against bosses. The 36% increased damage is not a more damage, with your many damage nodes these 36% are almost nothing.
Using a controlled destruction or elemental focus if not going for freezing here gives much more punch. The culling strike can perhaps be squeezed into the golem or orb of storms if you like it and get the space for it. But then perfect it: Golem - culling strike - magic find when playing not in party. Additional, pack a arcane surge to your Lightning warp or orb of storms - another almost free 20% more damage. Just suggestions to beef up damage without extra costs or sacrificing much. |

Question about bandits. why not take Oak? he gives 20% physical dmg sins we have the enchant that converts physical dmg to cold. shouldent that be the best ?
|

" I'm leveling this build atm in SSF-HC and considered taking oak for this reason. The skill points are quite nice, though... I might go back and switch to Oak later on. It does seem good since Increased Physical is rare and applied before the cold conversion, even if you don't have the helm enchant yet for 100% conversion. However, the Phys bonus does get calculated with your spell damage I think (and not before or after), so not as big as it may seem. |

I'm playing this build and I'm struggling a lot to kill high-tier map bosses and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if the build is just naturally a little squishy (I'm not a very experienced player, so the former is totally possible; also, I haven't done my uber lab yet if that will make the difference). I currently have 5,357 life and 1,276 unreserved mana, and the rest of my stats look like this:
 Any advice? |

" You got tons of resist that's for sure =P... I'm not sure how you play but I think your life pool and resist are where they need to be. Totems builds involve some kiting and throwing them out in front of you to do the work. Some bosses and situations just become difficult without leech+vaal pac op mechanic that other builds take. =/ ♥ we all go tissues ♥

Yeah, that makes sense I suppose. There are some ranged bosses like in Precinct that just take so much effort (fight until potions empty, run around and kill small mobs to refill potions, repeat), vs. something like the Chateau boss is easy peasy since he wastes so much time meleeing down totems or bonking my golem.
