Totems' action speed cannot be modified below base value. What?

What I'm confused about is that totems use your modifiers, including your action speed.

This is incorrect.

Totems use your skills, which means any modifiers/values that are checked on skills will ultimately be coming from your stats. But totems are their own objects, and have their own stats.

Action Speed is an object-level stat. It's not checked on skills. Your action speed being modified affects the speed your object (character) takes actions. A totem's action speed does the same for it. This is why totems can be chilled/frozen independantly from you, for example (both of those ailments affect action speed).
