Any idea would

be good to use?

Does the fire totems bolts do x3 the dmg is listed in the Damage numbers?

sheet dmg goes about 600 damage lower when switching to the jewel.

No, because the projectiles do not shotgun anymore. Only 1 projectile hits the enemy at a time.
So, this jewel would be damage reduce.

This cannot be true. My Flame Totem Tooltip shows 5K DPS but the output is nearly my friends 17k (per) Shockwavetotem. I assume it's 5K per Projectile per Totem. That would be around 30k DPS and seems more realistic?

Well, it is true. The projectiles do simply not shotgun and the dps numbers in the tooltip are correct.
You may not have taken your Fire Pen or Curses into Calculation.
Or the armor of the Monster which reduce the phys dmg of the Shockwave Totems.

Hey, thanks for the Build and the video it is awsome.

I have one question (searched but did not found anything) though.

You have some nodes and also in the video you explain why not taking the node at Ancestral Bond but the one down at BM for 3% increased cast speed.
It Looks to me these mod only apply to spell totems. Flametotem casts a spell yes, but the tooltip does not change.

In short:
Is the tooltip Buggy or does "Spells Cast by Totems have X% increased Cast Speed" only apply to spell totems, but not "normal" totems?

If the tooltip is right, are there better nodes you would sugest or do they still fit best for an idiot proof build? :D

If that is the case, I would think the better nodes to take would be 10% increased spell damage. If the 8% damage and 3% cast speed does not apply to flame totem correctly, then I would think 10% flat spell damage would be the best node to take that is already connected to the tree.

Does "Spells Cast by Totems have X% increased Cast Speed" only apply to spell totems, but not "normal" totems? I never checked when I took the node to see if my damage increased by more than 8%.
