As a huge noob scrub lord I have finally decided I am going to try running the Dual Righteous Fire Totem build from Milky (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1510181) and just pray I don't gently caress it up and that it's viable :downs:

It should still be good, and with the RF aoe buffs it will better, as it is starved for area when you first get going. I did it before chieftain was in the game and that makes it so much better after cruel lab.

Funman: you can import my build by copy/pasta this longass code into the import/export box in Path of Building.
http://pastebin.com/Y9QDj8G1

Easy 10 million dps (5 mil vs "bosses") w/ conc effect. Who knows if this program is being accurate here or not, but either way the scourge+double dip is extremely overkill. Only expensive item required is The scourge, but if I want to switch over before I get that, I could just run a singularity and look super cool. Hell, I can just drop my shield and use both! Will be starting flameblast totems, maybe even as an elementalist, though totems with necro isn't too bad since you get some generic damage and lots of cast speed. Maybe will rework this poo poo and go lowlife/ci at some point and farm endgame bosses if I can be bothered.

Obviously my rolls on my gear won't be quite this good, but it's still just a bunch of rares for the most part. It's gonna be plenty enough. And I have really nothing else to invest it besides rares after I get my Scourge and Cherrubim's (or whatever other armor I decide to try). 2x gryphons on swap still leaves me with 3.8mil vs trash somehow?

Other potential setups: I could use cospri's will, I would lose a very small amount of dps (rapid decay does ALOT for me) and lose 300 hp, and gain either a ring slot or, more likely, adding enfeeble to my cwdt setup instead of inc duration. Probably will choose which of these I do based on the economy, I dunno if that other armor will become more expensive than cospri's somehow. Hell, I'll probably just stay in a tabula until I can 6L one of those!

Hey I am bad and new at this game but this build seems pretty fun and I am going to ask you some dumb questions about it.

- What's the flesh offering for? Just spirit eater?
- What do you mean switch over? Do you just mean your totem build while leveling?

e:
- No golem?

spirit eater yes, but also the 'mistress of sacrifice' node is important here - it lets your offerings effect you.
I was considering running both cwdt desecrate spirit offering, for sustained DPS (%phys as chaos buff), but also flesh offering manual cast, to speed up clearing normal mobs as I move pack to pack and have to refresh my BV.

A double edged sword here is that offerings are really cool and powerful and a fun little thing to play around with - you could also use bone offering to get some defenses instead. However, you can only use one, and you are also eating up gem sockets by using them, so the more flexible you want to be, the less other stuff you can do.

Yes, I mean switch over from totem league starter build. Honestly you can go any weapon. With a necromancer your endgame would ideally be the scourge+lowlife/CI. Honestly it's not even remotely needed for BV to be playable though. Just get any half decent spell damage/global damage weapon and you are good 2 go...a rare, singularity is usually hella cheap, obliteration is strong as always, or just whatever.

It's definitely viable and I've done it before. You can't really go wrong with it if you're a noob it's incredibly easy to play. FB Totems is probably better, but everyone is running that so the items you need for RF Totem are extremely cheap.

Reach maybe but I doubt it. Drillneck absolutely not because they said the change applies retroactively to old versions - no legacy.

Patch is 1.4GB, no torrent for the glob file (from GGG at least) this time around.

What's the best SRS build out there that doesn't go heavy on the minions? Was thinking about straight SRS as much as I can, maybe mixing in a bit of zombies?

That said, I should wait for the 2.6 grid to be out, yeah?

I expect to start KB wander, with a tree/build p similar to Rodents. I'll likely add frenzy charges and use Raider to start, since I'm poor I think the DPS is probably going to be better than Pathfinder before good flasks, but I will play with Path of Building tomorrow. Even if it's slightly worse I may do it because I hate flask piano, and raiders buffs are pretty much always on when clearing.

Eh? Not sure what would be expensive since I could just rare gear hackjob it and have enough to get starter currency. That's about all I'm worried about early on

Here's another different question for people to ponder: what leaguestones are you thinking you'll be running while leveling?

These are good for the children's brains.
That molten strike threshold jewel just changed my mind about what I want to do. I've always liked the skill but it needed some help. Now you can get 10 projectiles without LMP/GMP and convert the other 40% damage to cold. Mind over matter is buffed, gemini claws are buffed, claw crit is buffed. MoM claw inquisitor might actually be a really good build instead of a sad gimmick.

Hopefully people will rightly recognize that frost blades is awful even with its threshold jewel and not fight me for touch of anguish early on.

Why would you ever need to go Inquisitor for a phys->fire conversion skill when any class can just use Xoph's Blood? That amulet is insanely good for 100% conversion and fire penetration stacking.
