[1.3] Dual Searing Bond + EE [Cheap Starter for Pantless Paupers]

This is not a mana-intensive spellcasting build - why do you need so many mana regen nodes?
Wouldn't it be better putting those points into smth else?

Does the Fire damage even scale with Searing Bond? o.O

i copy and paste this from my old build guide:

generally only these modifiers increase searing bond dps:

"increased elemental damage"
"increased fire damage"
"increased burning damage"
"increased totem damage"



all other modifiers do not increase dual searing bond dps. like:

"adds xxx fire damage"
"adds xxx cold damage"
"adds xxx lightning damage"
"adds xxx chaos damage"
"xx% increased spell damage"
any crit modifiers

Many? Huh... There is only one exclusive mana regen node at the root of the templar tree. All others just an extras from life/life regen/max mana nodes. And because of the small mana pool the regen should be a decent otherwise you have to keep 1-2 mana potions. Some bosses are killing totems with one blow so you have to just stand and recast them every second.

NOW This is the way to show builds for starters. my best atm is 59lvl char and im always getting stuck with my own builds - ( too weak and dies alot ).

i want to thank you for this good present for making this "act by act" Thanks. will try it now.

Yeah started on Saturday, im 53 right now using this guide. Great

Great build using this too although a bit modified, thanks.

Thanks for the guide man, i'm in act 3 merciless right now, level 60, soloed everything no problem so far, sitting on 4.5k dps full res and 3k health, only different thing i did was taking ancestral bond around level 35

Kindda dont understand how does Elemental Eq. works here. I would get it if the concept of it would be switching between instant dmgs like fireball and nova .. but that totem create more likely DoT type ...

What I mean => Trap gives instant dmg for example 100 and set +25% lighting -50% for next attack

But Totem gives for example 10 + 10 +10 +10 +10 +10 dmges Xtimes in row during few seconds.

Doesnt elemental rezist switch back immediately after creature touch the beam of totem ?
