Hey guys! I got into using totems really hardcore.
Recently, I started using the Ancestral Bond keystone for a second totem and the Soul Mantle unique for a third totem.
As main skill I use the good old fireball. In my Searing Touch it gets + 2 skill level.
Right now, I have to decide where to build my fireball links.

In the Searing Touch for the + 2 skill level?

or

In the Soul Mantle to use the inherent totem gem and add more support gems?

Both uniques have 4 links and getting more is not possible at the moment.
Should I maybe use only 2 fireball totems from the Searing Touch and add a different totem from my Soul Mantle?

What do you propose?

Died to that Merveil with Storm this time. :-(

Did not find 2 Topaz rings, sadly. Next time I'll go Stormy Ledge again, I think that's why I didn't have 2 Topaz rings. That Frost Cave is pretty terrible in comparison anyway.

Now I know what the guy with "Brutus+Skeletts" meant. Had 1-2 seconds delay and was desyncing all the time. Fight was totally random. Got killed at 10% life left from Brute. : /

You can actually sidestep the brutus smash if you have movespeed on boots or use quicksilver.

Also, I feel cheated out of the 22 point bracket http://i.imgur.com/G6SbDka.jpg

Soul eater increases his movespeed and attack speed. If you kill too many skeletons there is literally nothing you can do to prevent yourself from dying. I guess you might be able to always sidestep the slam, but he will just walk up and whack you to death.

The addition of skeletons to brutus made him even more laggy than before, I wonder if they even take that into account when designing stuff, coz i was sure it could not get worse than turbo brutus without trying


The skeleton addition is solely because they gave him the nemesis mod Soul Eater. There isn't a better way to create the adds without dropping them in randomly for no reason.

He gets to the level of turbo brutus pretty fast if you can't kill him fast, AND he has things to path around and more targets to hook, the lags are fucking ridiculous, who thought that was a good idea to take the desynciest boss and make him even more laggy

If you can't kill him fast and you go into that zone you're just going to get yourself killed. Don't get baited by the additional reward point. You get more points by skipping him and getting up two more level brackets.

Brutus wasn't a problem for my Mara so far, I always was able to facetank him (while avoiding his smash) and Heavystrike him to death. All my deaths so far were to shock... :S First the totem, then Merveil with Storms and very very late there is that Arc casters level which is insane if you meet a bad blue pack.

Anyone know what way I have to take to get the Fire Golem instead of Merveil? I had that one in my first run, no idea what I have done different back then.

I misclicked into Vaal OS's Death Ray while trying to zone out. Yay for stupid death. At least, I stored the exalt I dropped before.

I just started playing PoE and it has been awesome. I just hit around lvl 25 as shadow, and my build plan was to make some dual wield elemental damage crit whirlwind-esque character... I just realized that Lightning strike is not available for shadows...

T_T i don't want to abandon the first character yet. Since I've already invested mostly into cast speed -> lightning damage -> crit dmg and evasion, Should i just go for some Lightning trap build? Are traps viable late game with all the support gems?

?? You get lightning strike as a reward from the first quest in Act 3 normal as Shadow. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Quest_Rewards it's not as early as maybe some other classes but it's not really the best leveling skill anyway.

LOL how did I miss that?! Well I'm starting to think that build won't synergize too well because I traited mostly magic dmg, so I'm guessing a totem build with ice spear or ethereal knives build is viable as a shadow?

By the way, if I didn't grab a specific skill gem in act 1 or 2 normal and got something else instead, how can I get that skill gem later in the game? Only through drops?

Easiest way is to buy it in trade chat for usually ~1 alch-1chaos for average gems or just speed level another character just for the gems.

zzz even in the normal Descent I just died to Lightning... discharger level is no fun without any Topaz rings or lightning res in general... especially when there are so many. RNG was fairly good (aside from resistances) and so I was leading at some points and died at #9.

should've picked simian cave alluring chest...
