I played a scions fire totems build in Ritual. Same idea with MoM, GB, Agnostic, Hierophant and Chieftain ascendancy, etc. A typical build with shield, trying a lot of fire spells, with and without Kikazarus / Viridi's.

All perfect, but my problem was the totems life. They didn't regenerate life fast enough and I couldnt manage that. So is a functional idea but in my opinion totem life/regen is something to valorate

Totem life isn't an issue for me because with Viridi's plus rare making me hexproof, I am spamming totems so quickly that my totems almost always die because of my replacement. When the replacement occurs, I get cursed. I usually have about 8 curses on me, which thanks to self-flagellation is a lot of bonus damage.

Apologies for neglecting this thread. I've let myself get distracted.

Simple video posted. It's my maiden voyage on video, so please grade on a curve.

How much base cast-speed (just wands + skilltree-points) do you have ?

The Wand is the easy part. 14% from the implicit of profane wand. 20 from the explicit = 34% total (Theoretical max would be 39 with a perfect explicit mod.)

There are three sources of cast speed on the tree

Cast Speed nodes
spells cast by totems have increased cast speed nodes
Jewels

Cast Speed nodes are as follows:

Precision Cluster 10%
Mental Rapidity Cluster 18%
Arcanist's Dominion 5%
TOTAL 33%

Note: When leveling, I also took Nimbleness for another 12% I speced out of that in order to add cluster jewels. There is another 3 nodes below Arcanist's Dominion to add another 12% if you want.

Spell Totem Cast Speed:

Totemic Zeal Cluster 9%
Primal Manifestation 10%
Ancestral Bond 5%
TOTAL 24%

Jewels
2 Normal Jewels add 9%
Ancestral Echo Cluster 10% (Cast by totems only)
TOTAL 19%

1. I saw the buff. Looks tasty.

Flameblast:
Now has 130% more Spell Damage for Each Stage (previously 110%).

2. The build may work for league start, but I hesitate to recommend it because the interaction of Soul Mantle, Viridi's Veil and Self-Flagellation is really what makes the build hit it's stride. Remove one of those uniques and the build loses a bunch of damage (or, you get to try and run around with 6 - 9 curses active at any given time, which is not a recipe for a relaxing game.)
