New totem gem is up. We go from 5 to 7 totems which is 40% more but would need to get rid of one other support gem. We do not know quality and level gains yet.

The dot is chaos damage over time but not an ailment. This could be a buff.

We're also giving Chaos Damage over Time the same treatment, adding non-ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier to items, passives and the Occultist.

Thanks for this.

Still not sold on the totem support because of the loss of a gem slot. But if it don't affect the dot damage it'll be huge.

The passive bonuses to Chaos Damage over time could be very nice though. Can't wait to see the nodes.

As a league start, the totem support would be nice and a cheap way to level fast but I'd still swap it out once I reach maps and have a quill rain/skirmish

What you think to go with Ascendant with this support totem gem with Deadeye i think its give more dmg then hiro

Hello just a quick question. Wouldn't be Bone helmet better then Devotos? I know that you could not have +1 arrow but +40% dmg sounds good too. All the arrows dont hit the boss anyway and the Delve crafting opens interesting avenues.

Modifiers to Projectile Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effec.. watch toxic rain skill gem.. it says in the last line of it

Looking for a league starter for betrayal. How do you feel this matches up to arc totems or just toxic rain pf/occ as a starter?

I prefer this over Arc Totems, though Arc Totems will clear faster, and also require more of a gear investment. Which is the big pro of toxic rain totems, you can arguably have most your end game gear required by lvl 5 (quill rain)

I haven't played non totem toxic rain so can't give my opinion on that.

thank you for that info. I tried to find your build on poe.ninja as well but the only toxic rain hierophant that appeared was this build and I was curious what you thought about it in comparison

Hi, in terms of the new totem support gem - I think it will definitely be stronger since we need 4 totem summon clicks to have the maximum totem numbers (7) + with the 2 additional totems we get so much more pods in the same time which will be higher dps then a regular support gem, don't you think?

Also, the new chaos over time damage modifiers on the tree will be a nice addition, if they aren't in africa. Do you think occultist (when they change it to more chaos dmg modifiers9 will be stronger than hiero?

greetings
