Question to Chieftain/Raider Ascendant builds. How do you deal with mana? I need to go Blood Magic route, forgoing Skitterbots. Mana based, I dont have capability to spam totems and other skills. Ring -9 mana cost are really expensie and even if I would have one, it doesn't feel like it would solve the problem

Small question about the Chieftain part. For the 20% chance to cover in ash, do our totem inherit that also ? Or should we spam Frenzy on big targets to ensure it procs ?

Also, does someone play with Power Charge on Crit ? I feel it is not up enough to warrant the used link.

Hi, i see that "Elemental Hit" gives chance to Freeze, Shock and Ignite.

Why run skitterbots then?

Thanks Vei,

I'll wait to have filled my crit chance nodes and see if it becomes more sustainable, otherwise I'll probably change it.

If you can balance your resist, take away the Malachai's Artifice and use a -8 mana Praxis(It's just 1c), ideally with as high mana flat regen(Ranges from 3 to 6) you can find.

I am doing fine with both Grace + Summon Skitterbot turned on and also a Level 2 Clarity(Linked to Blood Magic) wearing a Praxis Ring

Probably able to do without the Clarity, but since I have extra gem sockets due to not using Kaom's Heart yet, I just use Clarity for now.

The Praxis Ring has been MVP for me ever since I bought it when I was level 30+.

Our totems will do the job, no need to worry about proccing it ourselves

It's basically an "Optional" Gem. If you have better use for your gem slot, switch it out for that gem :)

I just wanted to thank you for this post, it really helped me.
After reading this and checking your current character I replaced my Tabula, got my Unique Helm, changed Flasks and added some gems, now I'm slapping even harder and have more survivability! Also don't have to worry about mana anymore, feels really nice =D
