Question about spells and placement

Ok so I am following this build guide for firestorm witch on my toon OneStopChompShop
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1460817

If you scroll down to the part where it shows the potions and stuff, if you count the spells, curse on hits and all that its over 8. So I am a bit confused, what am I supposed to put on my hot bar or am I over looking something?
Also this build got me through normal so far with only 1 death :) I died in the lab lol at level 29.
Anyways I just need clarification because I wondered this on my other builds and was confused.

Thanks guys and I am probably just overlooking the answer but POE can get confusing sometimes lol.

Many people change their hotbar after setting up their auras and golem and whatnot. You don't need a skill to be on your bar after you have cast it to have it continue it's effect.

Unless you're turning auras/heralds on and off, you don't need them on your bar after you first turn them on.

You also don't need "on hit" effects to be on your bar for them to activate.

Curse on Hit makes it so Herald of Thunder will apply your curses. You do not need them on your hotbar.


It's the same for things tied to Cast when Damage Taken. It's a 'Trigger Gem', meaning it'll cast the skills linked to it when you reach the threshold.

Just as well, you don't need to keep buffs on your hotbar once you have them active.

ok thank you guys so much! I kinda thought that but was confused :) Now I can continue lol
I tried to put anger on my off hand and cast it then switch back to main and turns it right off. Since its a aura I thought it would work? It auto turns it off

Yeah, your auras and so forth still have to remain equipped and socketed to remain active. The gems in your weapon swap aren't active.
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!

Ah ok thanks :)
HA! and people say that the POE community can't be helpful!

Look at you guys go! Bravo!

(p.s. Good luck OP! Following a guide is the best way to create characters when you first start. After a few characters try and branch out on your own! You'll learn a lot faster that way and maybe laugh at your mistakes along the way!)
