Gameplay Help and Discussion - Flame Totem now gains added projectiles on levelling the gem - Forum

Frankly I think they just fucked up the initial version. They underestimate the effects of their changes a lot.	Posted by elitedesolator on Apr 22, 2015, 7:10:18 AM Quote this Post
I just hope they are not going to nerf shockwave totem :/ :\ :/ IGN TylordRampage	Posted by Malone on Apr 22, 2015, 11:29:13 AM Quote this Post
Since the base damage is also getting buffed I'm pretty sure, new flame totem + sire of shards = 7 flametotem streams with NO damage penalty, creating 360 degrees of firey death. Might be pretty nice.	Posted by Nerdicide on Apr 22, 2015, 3:11:32 PM Quote this Post

I am hoping they do another rebalance pass on FT because atm, even with the additional streams jewel, I see no way FT can stay competitive and potent enough to be more then just a distraction. Shotgunning capability was the heart of this skill, and now that damage was reduced so much..	Posted by Grimlocke_ on Apr 22, 2015, 5:08:25 PM Quote this Post

There's even a build where someone killed Atziri with a 4L Shockwave, full MF setup, no dps whatsoever on gear other than having a solid sceptre. ;) 177	Posted by toyotatundra on Apr 22, 2015, 10:46:10 PM Quote this Post
When the players just started to learn this game gets more complicated... I bet my friends will quit too as they love totems.	Posted by rusclaudiualin on Apr 23, 2015, 12:08:53 AM Quote this Post

Faster casting no longer affects totems. Totems however have separate placement speed bonuses now that are way higher than cast speed bonuses. I would go for Faster Projectiles Fire penetration Power charge on critical Increased critical damage Increased burning damage	Posted by Deleted on Apr 23, 2015, 1:01:32 AM

Does faster casting now not affect only the placement speed of the totems or also the cast speed of the totem spell as well?	Posted by elitedesolator on Apr 23, 2015, 1:55:52 AM Quote this Post
Sorry. I got confused. I just realized the flame from flame totems is a spell, not an attack. Then my setup is probably not the best then.	Posted by Deleted on Apr 23, 2015, 4:12:21 AM
