[2.5 Video Guide] Beginner's Build: Dual Flame Totem, Blood Magic Chieftain [Atziri & HC/SC Viable]

Wouldn't a Doryani's Invitation Belt with increased Fire Damage be a recommended unique ?

Anyone can tell me if this helm is a good choice for this build?

Hello.
10% reduced physical damage is ok.
+59 DEX is good only if you are using Whirling Blades + Faster Attacks + Fortify, movement combo and you need extra DEX.
+16 increased attack speed will not affect totem.
Nice armor and evasion bonus.
Chaos resistance is always welcomed.
Movement bonus is also nice but not "must have".
No "life", "life regen" bonuses.
No elemental resistances (those can be easily obtained on the jewelery, so no need to have them on the helmet).
Extra DPS from extra projectile is also OK.
So, there are nice bonuses on this helmet but in my opinion you can get better, rare helmet.
I would not use this helmet on HC league.
I personally use pure armor helmet with CWDT combo (all red sockets), with life, ife regen, armor and ele res bonuses.

Defensive Setup 1:

- Cast When Damage Taken (lvl 9), Immortal Call (lvl 11), Molten Shell (lvl 14) and Increased Duration (max lvl)

- Cast When Damage Taken (lvl 4), Arctic Breath (lvl 7), Greater Multiple Projectiles (max level) & Chain (max level)

Defensive Setup 3:

Can anyone please answer me why would you not want to max out some of these skill gems? Why keep CwDT on lvl 4 or 9 or Immortal Call at lvl 11?

I can understand not wanting to push your skill gems over your three base abilities (str,int and dex) but keeping these so low just does not make sense to me an d I am sure there is a very good reason and I just want to know why.

CwDT will cast more often when on low level. And it cannot support skills of higher level than specified(it will not cast).

Can anyone explain how is it worth using arctic armor that reserves 12.5% of your life (with BM)? You lose 12.5 ehp (with all damage types) and gain ~11% ehp (mitigation) with phys and fire damage and only when not moving.

Has everyone stopped playing this build ?
