I have to say, I've never heard RTFM used in a "friendly" way -- in my experience it is always used with a tone of sarcasm, disdain, or outright hostility. Clearly he said something he didn't really mean, and I was just trying to figure out what he meant. He meant exactly what he said though: 1. Soul Mantle gives you "Socketed Gems are Supported by level 20 Spell Totem" 2. Hierophant gives 2 additional totems, and Soul Mantle gives 1 = total of 4 totems summoned. So you're essentially getting a 6L on the chest without the need to slot a Spell Totem Support (so there's room for an extra gem) + 4 totems, without Ancestral Bond.

I actually tried this but all the curses on you reduce the damage in the same time. Maybe I missed an item or something to reduce self-curse-effect to 0%. But I basicly had the same damage output(with 20% curse effect). I think a better investment could be a 6link armour for single target damage vs bosses.

" I think a better investment could be a 6link armour for single target damage vs bosses. If we have 6 link staff and 6 link armour. What is the best we can do with this? Single damage is a good idea. Anyone suggestions for the gems? Last edited by Chili512 on Oct 25, 2017, 6:58:00 AM	Posted by Chili512 on Oct 25, 2017, 6:02:35 AM Quote this Post

I think it's just double Kikazaru (the 3.0 version) to reduce the effect to 20%. Haven't tested it -- is it that horrible? edit: The only way I can think of to have a 100% reduced effect of curses is to be a Guardian or Ascendant and take the passive giving you 25% of curse effects. But that limits you to 4 totems with Tukohama's Fortress...

I may have a stupid question here: What's the point to get increased crit chance(gem and skill tree) when we run controlled Destruction Support. If our crit is reduced by 100%, how will we get some crit ? I'm sure I miss something here...	Posted by Kemingway on Oct 25, 2017, 5:15:44 PM Quote this Post

If you have +100% +50% +50% +75% -100% -- you still get +175%	Posted by Mr_Tact on Oct 25, 2017, 6:54:26 PM Quote this Post
Thanks ! I was wondering why I was stuck at 5% but I guess I'm just not far enough in the build to see the upgrade.	Posted by Kemingway on Oct 25, 2017, 7:20:29 PM Quote this Post

Thinking about doing this for mayhem, people who have run it last league, do you think it will be solid?	Posted by dperls on Oct 27, 2017, 7:14:12 AM Quote this Post
