I'd like to thank these artists for allowing me to use their music for free. Videos such as this would otherwise not be possible for me to make. Thank you so much! Absolutely awesome stuff!

Hey, I'm back with a final video before my departure from the Keepers of the Flame league.

(Please take note that this build is very much not finished and mainly serves as a meme build and proof of concept. Enjoy.)

What I'm showcasing here is an Elementalist that summons explosive teleporting Totems that also reflect Fire damage to nearby enemies.

Using the classic combo of Torchoak Step + Eye of Innocence and Bodyswap, the build can even do T17 maps, despite being nothing more than a meme I came up with when I felt bored. It doesn't even have high DPS, but it can dish out some serious burst damage under the right conditions.

Keep an eye out for map mods that add resistances or some form of elemental damage reduction, as these can seriously hamper the performance of the build.

I use a trigger wand to automatically cast my Curses (Flammability + Elemental Weakness) and Cold Snap. The latter gives access to Frenzy Charges if there's nearby monsters to kill.

I also use Grafts, Low Life with Petrified Blood and Endurance Charges paired with Steelskin for damage reduction. A Corundum flask is used to deal with stuns, the rest is made up of a basic anti-Poison life flask and a Ruby, Sapphire and Topaz flask for more elemental damage reduction.

I planned this entire build around a Forbidden Shako with level 35 Spell Totem Support. This is what allows me to stack Totem Life in excess of 20,000 HP (+23k is achievable vs the typical ~4-5k you get on standard Totem builds). And Totem Life directly translates into base damage for this build.

The cherry on top, though not required, is a nice chunk of extra burst damage from Flamewood Support, either via the gem itself or as an additional mod on the helmet. The cooldown is applied per Totem, yet you will re-summon them a lot anyway to keep up the Onslaught buff and to taunt enemies to prevent them from targeting you.

Scaling this base damage is done by reducing enemy resistances, stacking Cast Speed and increasing the damage enemies take, i.e. via Aspect of the Spider and Stormblast Mine.

Shaper of Flames allows me to skip any and all Ignite chance nodes and go straight for damage scaling. This is why I think Elementalist works better than something like Scion or Hierophant for this specific purpose.

This is not your standard Spell Totem build, it's mostly a Reflect build that happens to use Totems that really love to throw themselves at enemies and blow up in their faces.

I somehow took this build to T17 (Valdo's), Shaper, Uber Elder and Uber Atziri, as well as some endgame Maven invitations, and I did have a lot of fun watching these Totems blast through my maps. It actually performed above my expectations. A proof of concept, indeed.

Check out the video and let me know your thoughts! Thanks for watching!
