-ED totem provides higher AoE ability in most situation.

Due to the AoE nerf of 2.6,Contagion's contagious area is smaller than before.
Abyssal Cry and Profane Bloom could take out most mobs much more efficient than contagion.

Besides Totem could get a almost free LMP with Rain of Splinters.

-Higher single target damage.

The tooltip dot dps may seem lower than selfcast ED,but most of our dps comes from poison damage.
Dual/Tri totem gives us x2/x3 damage and it's higher than selfcast ed in most cases.
(Theoritcally,with prefect rolled 6L +3 chaos Deliruim spell damage staff
selfcast ED may out dps ED totem,but such item takes unholy currencies/luck to craft and does not even exist yet.)

Also in totem build we could selfcast wither and stack it much faster than wither totem.

-Safer playstyle

With ED totem we could just drop totems,cast Abyssal Cry/Contagion then run away with Phase Run.
Mobs will target totems instead of ourslef,it's safer than the facetank style of selfcast ED in most cases.

-More comfortable playstle(personal opinion)

Totem will target mobs automatically.
No more shooting game with super slow bubble gun!
It's always a pain of ass for me to aim moving boss with Slower Proj ED.

Pros:
-Very cheap to start out,in current economy Soul Mantle/Kikazaru/The Consuming Dark will cost a few chaos at most.
-Could do all map mods.
-Safe to play as totem build.
-Relatively tanky as an OCC CI build.
-Resilient to curse mods.Thanks to dual Kikazaru,curses will only have 20% effect on you.

Cons
-High mana cost.(205 for 6L lv21 ED)
Relies on mana flask.
-Not a 1-minute-strand-clear kind of build.
We could clear maps in decent speed but thats all.
-Not possible to stack unholy(20k+) ES amount like selfcast ED
because 3 of our item slots are bound to unique items.

As Soul Mantle give 1 additional Totem freely,we could run dual totems without taking Ancestral Bond.


That means we could do damage ourselves,makes it possible for us to use 4L Abyssal Cry to chain explode mobs.
Abyssal Cry deals chaos damage based in mob's life,which could be scaled easily as we get a lot of chaos damage in passives.It's much efficient than Contagion-Based ED in most situations.

If we take Ancestral Bond with Soul Mantle equiped,we could place 3 totems at most.
With the sacrifice of AoE ability,we get almost 50% more single target damage than dual totem.
This may be needed in tougher boss fight.(Uber/Guardians/Shaper)

Build enablers.Must have if you want to run this build.


Free posion is a huge damage boost.Spell damage and Int is also good to have.Highly recommended.

A well rolled spell damage Delirum weapon plus +1 6L soul mantle and lv4 empower may provide a little higer dps.
But the cost is not even remotely comparable.


Spell damage 2-dips both the default dot and posion damage of ED.
Fingerless glove is recommended.


Some regular rares.Get your resistance and es in helm/shield/boots/belt.


BIS in terms of damage.Could use it as long as you can cap resistance with other gears.


I'm using this rare amulet for it's stat(dex/str) and resistance.
Could use eye of chayula if you want 100% stun immunity.


put in bakcup,spam RF totem before boss fight to get curses up

ED duration is the best enchantment.The duration also extend the duration of posion therefore makes it a 20% more damage boost.

Kill all.
Kill all.
Kill all.

The damage per curse is global damage therefore could 2 dip posion damage.
Provides huge damage boost for us.


Basicly a lmp for totems with less damage penalty,provides higher aoe ability.

For other jews just look for
-Spell Damage
-Chaos Damage
-Global Damage
-Damage Over Time
-Energy Shield

And
-Projectile Damage
-Totem Damage
-Totem Elemental Resistance(need 20% from jew to cap totem resist)
These 3 mods make all the juicy 3-4 mods jews for us cheap as dirt.

Got them for 5c and 7c.
