[3.29] Flamewood Totems League Starter| Act 1 - End Game | 5 Leagues in the Making

[THROUGHOUT CAMPAIGN] Avoid energy shield on armour bases. This makes sustaining RF much more difficult. Constantly look to increase fire resists, this translates to regeneration via the fire mastery Act 1 Keep The red Gems you pick up on the beach, you will need them later Take Rolling Magma level 2 Take Spell cascade, frost blink, vitality, searing bond Purchase Shield Charge, Holy Flame Totem (HFT) & Rejuv Totem Act 2 Sell 2 iron rings with the red gems from the beach to get Ruby Rings Craft fire resist on every piece you can and take fire mastery "Regen per uncapped fire res", this will sustain Righteous fire through act 4 Help Alira for extra resists Act 3 Continue running through everything with RF, make sure to keep pushing fire resist as much as possible. Take Flammability Buy Purity of Fire and Purity of Elements and keep vitality leveled Begin Lifelinking gems to allow access as your auras will eat all of your mana DO NOT TAKE ANCESTRAL BOND. It will make everything feel like shit. When we get a 4-link, add lifetap to HFT Lifetap everything else, except RF Take Totem Taunt to help with single target Damage DO NOT FORGET: Unlock the increased fire damage craft in Solaris level 2; this will be enough damage until late [Tritech] Act 4 We can now reliably have a 4 link for totems and a 4 link for RF Take Stone Golem to keep ahead of RF degen Take "Hearty" this is also a huge help with regen requirements Act 5 Take totem mastery for "totem's take 5% of your damage from htis" this is effectively 5% less damage taken Act 6 Look for Mystic Refractor if the WORB crowd hasn't swallowed them all; If you get one drop multiple totem for elemental focus If successful, drop multiple projectile support and swap to multiple totems instead; skills section guide will NOT reflect this. If you can't get mystic then spend your first chaos on Immortal Flesh Here we have the first respec to move towards elemental overload We also are graced with arcanist brand to simply buttons on single target Note: Exit south after killing tukohama for a chance at a decent tattoo [Tritech] After killing tukohama switch from HFT to Rejuvenation Totem - links remain the same Act 7 Take Ritual of Awakening at second lab; It's damage has been nerfed but the survivability is still there. [HUGE NOTE] I cannot recommend Righteous Fire beyond this point. While the clear is still much better than totems alone, by this point it is eating up 70% of our regen and leaving us vulnerable. Reservation skills will become: Purity of Elements, Tempest shield for bulk, discipline to support the eldritch battery switch and vitality to eat up the rest of the reservation. Act 8 - 10 At this point its just a zoom fest to the end game. If you receive a fifth link for Rejuvenation Totem without refractor, go with Cruelty If you receive a fifth link for Rejuventation Totem with refractor, go with Fire Penetration Post Campaign Pick up a Singularity for some great damage if mystic refractor prices are still ridiculous. Mystic becomes less desirable once Black Zenith is acquired due to projectile limit on a single target. Balance Resistances and look for life and life regen on gear. Life regeneration rate is a huge bonus. I GOT BLACK ZENITH When you acquire Black Zenith, extra projectiles have harsh dimninishing returns. Drop Mystic Refractor (if you have it) and Multiple Proj if you don't. Congratulations, enjoy the end game.
