and would take a tree like this for cast speed

why sould you use cast speed? insted of quill and barrage? that is much better than any spell
also please note that hinakora ascendancy passive node is very bad because your phys dmg will deal fire dmg that will destroy EE effect

are you sure totem damage nodes dont increase the 8% reflect?
also just another small thing... the +2 projectile flask will be great (can it stack?)
also have some improvments to the tree.. will post later


also the biggest question... why are you not using Soul Mantle?
50% increase totem life!
+1 to totems !
seem like best in slot, no?

Sorry rough day at work didn't get online. a 6link soul mantle could definitely be better than rare chest/quiver. I personally can't afford it (flat out broke in EHC) so I can't do any testing. Just from mechanics I'd say it's worth it if you have the currency to get a 6link mantle or quill rain.

As for your question totem damage doesn't scale the reflected damage, reflected damage doesn't scale off passives. Only way to get more damage is reduce enemy resistance, scale attack speed, and scale totem life.

The Dying Sun flask would indeed add 2 projectiles to each attack, definitely worth it if you could afford it.

So question: Why do you go into the duelist area? Why Master of the Arena?

I was originally using it to scale more attack speed/life, and was gonna grab fending eventually, but after testing with fending it doesn't seem worth it

I'll probably end up going with something like this at 90 once I reach it poeurl.com/Pdu

you could still put inside that RAT and use quill rain etc...

Would lava lash's 8% penetration work on the reflected damage?

Nope, it states it's damage with weapons. The reflected damage isn't from a weapon but rather just a percent of the life pool. It won't scale with ele/spell/attack damage. Just more life and general penetration

Thanks! Small micro optimization: Do you need retribution? You can connect the int node at the top and get rid of those 3 nodes connecting retribution to the curse area. Inversely, if sanctity is not that useful you can swap those 3 out after connecting.
