Esajoram's Dual Shockwave totems guide

I need to do some changes. My gear is dumpster but upgrading that I don't think will be enough. Just started mapping (Beyond) and first thing I need is more mana regen. Running Hatred and Clarity with <10 AA. One crit could one shot me.

Current tree: http://tinyurl.com/pxpblqu

When I get better gear first thing I'll do is respec the nodes past the Scion life wheel . Don't know how much max ES nodes will help with mana regen but I'm planning on getting the ones in the middle crossing over (Foresight). I could go Faith and Steel but unsure.


New plan, something like this (same amount of points): http://tinyurl.com/ppxp6m3

100 points: http://tinyurl.com/ksla26j

Deep Thoughts and Cruel Preparation look tempting.
What's everyone's opinion on totem defensive nodes? Mine are getting completely rekt mostly and can't cast them fast enough with current regen. Build tips are welcome.
Hi,

This is my current build: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMABAcQWBZvGjgabB8CJKon7SycMjQ2xTbpOlhEq1WuVcZZ82aebBaCEIPbhxmHZY-mkFWdrqcIp4Ssqq-3wBrYJNrd34rfsONq-tL8Sw==

I was originally going to go some sort of Fire build but ended up switching.

Any way I can change this to SWT without having a really bad tree or using regrets?

You have still fairly few skill points spent so i'd just reroll and do it properly from the start :) but obv it will make decent enough build with a lot of trouble imo which is greater than the releveling

It sounds like a case of your totems not having enough AOE which allows monsters to attack them and you having not enough mana to recast them on comfortable level :)

=( I don't want to reroll unfortunately! I actually am level 48 and have 20 points remaining or so.

I guess I should just go another build =P

Could you update your guide with a leveling guide (for the tree point selection mainly) ?

For example: when do you take "Eldrich battery" in the leveling process ?
I think I took it too early and i feel a bit defensless with 1400 hp & no more ES :-(

Concerning the dps, I'm only lvl 55 (with a dps tooltip on totems around 2400 if i remember well under "hatred" activated). I went on the right side of your tree first and im heading now toward "ancestral bond". Should i go asap to it then respec a bit later to take all the node on the left part of the tree ?

On your cwdt setup, you choose "molten shell" and not "immortal call", any explanation for that choice ?

As long as you level as spellcaster of your choice its good (the build shares spell damage nodes, manaregen and castspeed nodes with every caster builds and the phys nodes with EK builds)

basicly you should have the ancestral bond, lower totem node cluster, EB and all the manaregen/life+es and AOE nodes when switching to shockwave, all the nodes that just increase dps (cast, spell dmg, phys nodes) arent mandatory ones and you can add them as you go

as what comes to a leveling section in the guide I dunno if I even want to limit peoples imagination how to level this build

If I had to do it now I'd probably go EK + Single totem until 60+ (and the put the EK to trap )

E: and the molten shell its just a personal preference, I rather keep the charges at all times

Currently level 74 in Beyond league with this build. Everything is going well. Is there anything you suggest i could add to EK TRAP FIRE DMG? Got a socket left
Should you prioritize cast speed, spell damage, physical damage, or totem damage?
