Flame Totem Test Build - 04

Today I had a couple of hours this morning so I plowed through normal difficulty and finished the session in act 1 cruel. I now have dual flame totem linked to LMP and Faster casting. I finally have become a dual flame totem build!

So today I Worked up and through Dominus. I managed to get my first master to level 3. As you can see in the second picture, I have now gotten a hideout. Followed by killing Piety and Dominus using searing bond. This was fairly easy to be honest, not quick though. Feeling good! p.s. I also took blood magic.

Flame Totem Test Build - 03

I managed to fins a couple of hours today to play a bit on my marauder and managed to get quite a bit of progress. I am now in act 3 and finally switched from Spectral Throw to Searing Bond + Ancestral Bond. Although I'm not quite at Flame Totem yet, I am finally getting a feel as to what it's like playing a totem build.

Along the way I fought a few exiles and had my first RIP. I guess you should still pay attention even playing on normal. Finished up the session at level 26, not too shabby but still in the early stages.

Currency Flipping

Here is a quote I saw on a post on the PoE reddit /r/Pathofexile which I thought was pretty interesting so I wanted to share it. Here it is:

People have been playing this game for a long time, and if they know the market they can flip currency by buying when stuff is cheap. Divine orbs are a good example, in new leagues (this one was an exception because of the elreon mod) divine orbs can be as low as 5 chaos each. Investing when the price is low allows you to sell high later.

This guy may have been hoarding these divine's for the last 2 years, they're at an all time high now. Or, he's hacking.

 Sorry for the short post today... "Stay a while and listen"...

Flame Totem Test Build - 02

Sadly I didn't get a lot of time to play today because I have been busy with work and getting other things together but I did find about 30 minuites in which I managed to take a few combat photos and progress a couple more levels, so basically I achieved nothing (apart from the new footer image!). Hope you enjoy!

Flame Totem Test Build - 01

So I have just started a new character so I can test out weather I like the play style of a totem build or not. A while back I created a second account to make a MF character to cull but I never got round to it so I have very little currency/items. This is a good test bed for a new league. So far I haven't had a lot of time to play, probably around an hour, but I managed to kill Mervail and get into act 2. I'll be updating my progress as I go on. Here is where I am at the moment. In the next update I will be doing more screen shots because I have found you can press F8 in game to screen shot. If anyone wants to play with me I am called Opaque_Martem.

Build Review - 1.2 Tanky Dual Flame Totems - Beyond/HC viable

The Build Thread

This looks to me to be a reasonably solid build. Having a look at the tree it's focusing on life and taking the standard route for damage. I especially like the tree because it passes EE which I plan on taking.

The key difference in this build is it's use of Cybil's Paw unique

The +(5 to 8) Life gained foe each enemy hit by your Spells Combined with the fast attacks of the flame totem makes it much tankier!
