Playing mixed totems in campaign now and it's incredibly fast and fun!

Frostbolt totem for clearing and Flameblast totem for bosses and other toughies. This way you get the best of both worlds: Frostbolt is awesome for clearing but bad against tough mobs, and Flameblast is great against bosses etc. but lacks clear speed.

It's so good that I encourage everyone who reads this to give it a try. You need 2x Frozen Trail jewels for Frostbolt, but go for it as soon as you can afford them (and have 2 4L items and 2 jewel sockets). After all, we have plenty of free sockets.

I'm pretty convinced that this is the way to go, at least for playing the campaign (can't tell yet how viable it is for maps and endgame).

On a side note, this also makes it easier to capture beasties.

So what am I missing re: wands? Per path of building a 1-5c Apep's Rage does about 98% of the damage of a 200c Void Battery. It's literally within a couple percent.

Only real downside to Apep's is the increased mana cost, but we have so much mana regen it really doesn't matter.

For people who went GC with this build, how did you handle the Dex requirement for Hatred and Cold Pen? did you just get it via equipment? Is there a different mtree to follow?

Thanks
