Questions about Spell Totem

Going to just cut to the chase.

Are there any skill gems it does not working with at all?

If you link more then one skill to it will it cast both? (ie Ice Spear ~ Spell Totem ~ Summon Skeleton to make 1 totem that uses both skills)

Sorry if dumb questions is dumb or already answered. I couldn't find anything on it specifically from the google machine.

All skills which say "spell" at the top should work.

One totem does not cast more than one spell. If you take a spell totem gem and link it with both ice spear and fireball, you can then summon an ice spear totem or a fireball totem. You can have both at the same time if you use Ancestral Bond or a unique that gives you +1 totem, but then you'll have two totems, not one casting both spells.

Discharge doesn't work at all. The totem does nothing.

...to expand on this - this is because the totem cannot have any charges, and charges are needed to use discharge.

Alrighty cool.

That's really what I needed to know. Spell Totem seems like it could get interesting in certain combinations.

totems cannot be buffed or debuffed. so things like auras, chargea and curses do not work on them.

Ive made aura totems. It just cost way too much mana, went to about 87% mana used on the 40% auras.

Also its kind of a redundant thing to do. but its possible.

Totems can actually get endurance charges. Curse enemies with warlords mark and they can get them on death.

Still pretty useless though

Totems can cast curses, and since they have no mana constrictions you can lay down a curse-linked totem and the totem will spam the curse on everything in sight and keep it on them as long as it survives.
Totems can cast auras, but it costs an amazing amount of mana and it has such a short range that you'll need to re-cast it often, so it's very impractical.

No...the point was that the totem can't be affected by a curse or aura. You can't enfeeble a totem. You can't give a totem health regen with Vitality.
