Dont you need to actually do damage in order to trigger ele equilibrium? So it won't work with Ancestral Bond?


Correct. You can still trigger EE if you have AB by using a trap, like ice trap.

Well, in that case the RF totems build I've been tinkering with on 3.0 path of building just got even more insane.

1.9m shaper dps on a 1-2ex budget lol. 3x 620k dps RF totems + 118k Searing Bond. Can get even more damage at the expense of freeze/chill immunity and some life by using a doedre's scorn for 60% generic dmg and 20% ele dmg + some levels on curses.

7.1k eHP

The burning dmg support gem change + ability to roll burning dmg and fire dmg on sceptres was a HUGE buff. Efficacy is a better support than minion/totem res as well. A 70% fire dmg, 30% burning dmg, 40% ele dmg implicit sceptre is leaps and bounds ahead of doryani's. Note, that's only 2 affixes; a blue sceptre in 3.0 can easily be better than doryani's lol

i dont get how you use scorching ray..just replace it with RF? , i bought my tukohama`s ( finally ) so im running without ancestral bonds ( meh..im sure 5 totems is more fun but maybe this way is easier since i can forget about trap ) TY

No, just replace it in a 6 socket soulmantle with the last gem in the setup (for me rarity). Use another item or dont wanna run shaper / uber atziri? dont use scorching ray, there is rarely an occasion where it works

1. rf totems dont stack, you would have 738k dps, not 1.9m

2. doedres scorn doesnt work with dots, because the effect is conditional. Thought it works, but it doesn't... alreadyremoved it from the guide.

3. yes a rare sceptre can be better in 3.0, but it will be harder to get than a well rolled doryanis. Its easier to get a drop from atziri than a ilvl 83/84 sceptre and to craft it properly.

4. yes efficacy is a better support in 3

Got around 6.7k life

The uber lab points help a lot for survivability in mapping, those free enduance charge generation and extra liferegen is nice.

you could also swap flammability with enfeeble if you wanna be safer

keep in mind to not roll chain on your maps, that can be very dangerous on any totem/minion build.

Swapping in frostwall in the cwdt setup can also help against ranged mobs if you have trouble with those.

Also keep those flasks up most of the time, a granite + basalt adds a ton of survivability
