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.

Elemental Equilibrium & Ancestral Bond

So I was thinking about how to use these two keystones in the same build. While watching Lifting Nerd Bro's stream I asked him how I could. He suggested using Ice Nova + Trap which would work perfectly. 

After having a look at a couple of different skill trees I went back to Lifting Nerd Bro's Manly Marauder build. This skill tree path directly past the EE keystone so it will be super easy to pick it up. Of course in the new leagues there will be changes but hopefully i'll be able to piece this skill tree back together after the patch.

I also looked at a CI alternative, again this will be an old tree. It's a 120 point build so I'll never get close to it but I think it looks pretty solid.

Thoughts on new builds

So i have been looking at a few different totem build and I think, depending on the patch for the new leagues, I will play a dual flame totem build like seen in this video by LiftingNerdBro on Youtube . I also saw the video Ghudda posted about his fireball trap build and thought that his use of Elemental Equilibrium was really interesting. I like the safety that the dual totems give and the damage of EE, but does the lack of damage from Ancestral Bond mean that EE wont proc?
