Hello i have the summon skeleton, summon totem and healing totem gems in one item but i still have to summon or the skeleton one or the healing one do they have to be in the same order as your weapon for having a totem with the healing aura and the ability to summon at the same time?

dom blow is really fun to play around with, but there are few setbacks for summoner:

1. its a melee ability. as as summoner you usually deal no significant melee damage even if you stack strength nodes. so it requires a culling strike for you actually to get the kill before your minions slaughter the mob.

2. it also pretty much requires melee splash and increased duration, if you want to actually use it with any kind of point.
so thats a 4L already, not to mention, you want a 1.6+ attack speed weapon, ideally 1.8+ since usually summoners take zero nodes for attack speed.

3. you need accuracy or RT. since summoners have no accuracy, you have to go for RT to make it half effective. for my build, RT is not a problem, but it might be for many, including the build in this topic

4. biggest problem of them all- it requires you to run in a pack of mobs to cull. this makes it unplayable as a summoner in high level maps. the last thing you want to do with a summoner without significant leech+regen+armor is running into a pack of fire golems with crit and +% dmg as lightning on a 76/77 map

so yeah, its a cool way to bring variety in your playstyle, but I found it completely unusable in high level maps that have any kind of tough mods, where your play is much more defensive (at least solo)

I think I have the gist of what your trying to ask. You can't have 2 totems out at the same time unless your using the passive node or the unique chest. Whats good to note is you can cast the skele totem than cast regen totem. The skeletons already out on the field will not disappear.

mainly because by that time, level 90+ your gear should be good enough to max out all your resistances anyways.
