I don't think sacrificing a ring slot just to easily keep your chargers up is not worth it. Ice spear is still the better alternative in my opinion.

It's optional, and I do admit I lose quite a bit of more survivability stats if I use a Romira's. I've tried GMP, Spell Echo, PCoC, Ice Spear so far and it's a bit hard to get crits unless your base crit is well over 30% (mine is 12% atm). Essentially when getting much better gear and a higher baseline crit amount, that would do a better job using GMP PCoC Ice Spear.

Updated post with a screenshot & video. Added some miscellaneous other details too.

Do you think 3 Dragons will still be needed post-patch with the upcoming Shock nerf? Seeing as shock stacking will no longer be doable and only 1 application of shock. A couple of points in passive to Static Blows and Chance to Shock along with what I suggested previously in the thread of using a quality Added Lightning damage gem to increase shock chance. Even though optimally that would give about 30% chance to shock on hit, it really only needs to be done once per target.

If so, I guess one decent alternative helm to replace 3 Dragons may be Rat's Nest since it comes with Crit, Rarity, and movement speed. That or replace the helm with something to give the player more survivability.

Ty cool guide!
I´ll totaly check this out @ the new leagues.

But I got one question tough:
What skill have you used until you start using Flame Totems?
