how do you have the mana to cast your 6L totem?

My 5L costs 288 mana and i have 301 so i barely have enough to cast it.

I can imagine getting a 6L then realising that i cant cast it lol.

Mullet

Answered in a pm ;D. I used the covenant bug, so this will no longer be viable.

hi

Your passive tree just have 92 DEX on 103 passivetree /72 DEX in 109 passivetree.

How your DEX hit 17X without equip many DEX gear??

Just a 19 amulet



if I didn't see wrongly.

hey,

I run a similar build to yours (not double curse but conduit with frenzy, 2x enduring cry and power siphon)

I will start mapping very soon, my dps is still mediocre tho, do you think I should stay with LMP until I get my dps up or should I switch to GMP as early as possible?

I had just enough dex from the passive tree and gear to run level 20 haste. I had another ring with dex on it that let me use it, I don't have it anymore though to link.

Stick with LMP until you notice GMP freezing. I was lucky in getting that crit damage neck early and allowing my gmp to freeze. Your DPS should go up very soon!

I was curious to why you picked up the Acceleration node. Isn't that for attack speed?

i had to get it to run level 20 haste.

Ah ok. I was thinking about getting a dex node instead since I was having problems with Dex. Would they be better? As they give 30 dex instead of 20 and the attack speed won't do anything for you.

my build should have all the 30 dex nodes in it :x, but yea those are better to get for sure. if you don't have gear with some dex on it though (i didnt) youll have to pick up those 20 dex nodes.

Hello getstunned!

I'd like to ask you for opinion over my ice spear totemer idea, since you inspired me. I actually have 2 ideas, they both seem legit, also they could be fused together.

Today as i checked my inventory, i noticed the "Power charge on critical strike" passive skill. Since totems stack power charges to themselves, i was wondering, what'd i get for a power charge?(I didn't need to use it, so i didn't check it so far)
I just realized i can get 50% increased critical strike chance per power charge, thus, with the bare minimum, 3 charges you get 150% increase, that means an extra 10.5% crit chance.
I made a skill tree just now, that allows you to stack up 6 charges, with the merciless quest reward, 7. (maybe 7 is too much, i'm not sure if the totems would last that long, so when i get there, i'll test it further)

7*50=350% increased critical chance, that equals 24.5% extra crit chance. Since the multiplier and the chance are making each other stronger, the power charger ice spear totem seems pretty good idea.
With this, you max out the second form crit chance, and you get huge boost (guess 40-50%) in the first form.
So in an 5l it'd be like: ice spear - lmp/gmp - spell totem - ele prolif - power charge on crit

My second idea was the shock stacking ice spearer, picking up the %chance to shock on lightning damage nodes. With this, and ele prolif, you'd freeze and stack shock fairly quickly, thus helping your party.

These 2 builds, if they were mixed, would include an added lightning damage in a 6l armor.

(this is the mixed build, for about lvl 85.)


So i'd like you to leave your opinion here about these ideas, if you'd be so kind :)

Thanks.

Meh, i just realized totems can't stack power and frenzy charges :( But would they stack it on me instead? Looks like it works differently with endurance charges.
