Why Sunder, just for a change of pace?

I need to choose between these:
Slayer RT cyc or crit staff
Raider full cold conversion bow/wand
Inquisitor crit freezing pulse with (your :p) MoM

Think I should just go slayer even though I'm guessing every Tom, Dick and Harry is going to be doing the same :/ Had this build planned ever since quitting Harbinger due to my amazing internet connection

Pretty much...

Although also considering EQ after the aoe Buff, or just going EK nova Inquisitor straight from the start...

So spectres are not really nerfed? Tv's only if using the shield to give them more totems, and wickermen have a bit lower damage. Will see how much less it is. But 3 tv's and 1 wicker was doing a pretty good job in maps for me.

Has anyone in here played a pure totem build before? It's not too boring is it (not dishing out any damage yourself)?

Yep, ran Starforge AWC totems last league for the one challenge. It was super **** style of play, would never willing do it again.

I cannot play totems only build, puts me to sleep every time however they are strong builds and many peeps love them.

Just play Hierophant, then you can still drop 3 or so totems while being able to cast.

I did it a few leagues back and did innervate supported arc self cast while flame totems peppered things in the front line. (granted this was before ascendancy classes, and using Soul Mantle chest)

Also curious, would any of you watch someone playing PoE since launch on friday?
Strongly considering streaming my play through on twitch.
Probably going to play till saturday evening then have a quick nap :p

I see your build and mine posted is from the same guy.

Do you respect the build after getting the Amulet?

Amulet, that is the one I screwed up last league. (Greed put a Vaal Orb on it)

I played the pizzasticks flameblast totems a few leagues back. Also not a fan of that playstyle. Could just have been the flameblast playstyle though. It was a bit annoying having to drop totems for every enemy and then wait for it to go off. Same reason I dont want to try traps or mines, I assume the playstyle is pretty similar.

I have tried shockwave totems, flame totems, awc totems, infinite totems. They all suck. Same as trap/mine builds, so much damage, such boring gameplay

I also saw your char is ready for 3.1, waiting for Scion version.
Just give some pointers while leveling. :D
I will 10/1 also start with Sunder. What other gem's could be used in the early stages?

I will read tonight through the build and make notes. (Gems etc)

So I think the best plan is to take (basically) any build that worked in 3.0 and did not require VP as a starter, amass currency and then create never seen before builds with the insane Shaped/Elder items

Yeah, and first see how widely available all the new stuff is. I assume the new gear with those crazy mods will be very expensive for a while.

Get a single solitary one of these new items to drop and chaos spam ;) Unless you can't roll them that way, then yes this stuff will be ultra rare.

Got my eye on anything that adds x-x cold per X base stat
