Hatred alongside Herald of Ash will almost certainly provide higher damage than Clear Mind.

Level 20 Hatred - 36% of physical damage added as cold damage
Level 20, quality 20 HoA - 15% of physical damage added as fire damage and 15% increased fire damage

Clear Mind - Up to 60% increased spell damage

However, bear in mind that the damage added by Hatred and HoA is multiplicative with all physicaal damage whereas the increased Clear Mind damage is additive with all other increased damage bonuses (the quality bonus from HoA is however additive) - thus Clear Mind's bonus suffers from diminishing returns.

===========
Some actual numbers using my character as an example.

Tooltip DPS per totem without Clear Mind, Hatred or HoA - 24.8K
Tooltip DPS with 49% Clear Mind - 26.8K
Tooltip DPS with Level 19 HoA (zero quality) and Level 19 Hatred - 34.7K

As you can see, HoA plus Hatred is much better due to diminishing returns working against Clear Mind.

I really love this build. Never had I this feeling during the game of dealing enough damage while being safe as fuck :p Just did Merc Malachai on my LvL 77 BFTotem on a 4L with 1 death (because I failed hard). Gonna make a video of it some time. Thanks for sharing!

ever thought of using Phase in one of the CWDT, maybe instead of chain?

Was also curious if you had tried out the CWDT at different levels or why you just chose to keep them at level 1? I just got done doing a duel flame totem marauder with self cast enduring cry and 9 CWDT/11 immortal cry, so I was just curious if you'd done any testing or how you came to decide on the level to leave it at.

Great build, got it to 50 in a night, didn't really start to pick up until the 40s when I got 2nd totem.

thanks for build guide, as I'm finally jumping on the blade fall train. At what level were you able to sustain the Wrath/HoA/Clarity combo?

Thanks

Hi Lighty!
Thanks for another great guide.

My question are about the choice of movement skill.

Is there more reasons for not going Whirling Blades + Faster Attacks + Fortify then the obvious one in coloring the wand?
I was thinking going either dagger with high spell damage and 150% crit to spells so i at least cover the reduction of controlled Destruction or just go wand and colour it with Vorici at rank 7 (2G+1R)

Imo this will be good defensively as iam playing THC.

What do you think?
