[1.1.0] ShinyGyarados' Dual Flame Totem Templar

http://tinyurl.com/o57bmg7

Rough idea of what this build will look like in 1.1.0, I need to play more with this character to see!

Pros:
- Cheap! NO UNIQUES are absolutely required for this build to be effective.
- Easy playstyle. Your Flame Totems will do the all the work.
- Great for parties. Swap out one gem for IIR and/or Culling Strike to give your party a boost.
- Easy to stay out of trouble. Your totems will attract much of the attention away from you.

Cons:
- Mana Cost. Although this is manageable, you might need gear with +Mana and +Mana Regeneration Rate as linking gems to Flame Totem will make its mana cost go up significantly. This shouldn't be a problem as you get further into the game.
- Playstyle may be boring for some.

Starting Off (25 Points):
Here is what your tree should look like very early game. Basic spells such as Freezing Pulse or Fireball will get you through just fine up through this point.


Ancestral Bond + Ironwood (39 Points):
Here is when you start using Flame Totem as your main skill. The next step is to head down to the Ironwood passive to give your totems a nice health and defense boost.


Holy Strength + Shamanistic Fury (50 Points):
This is when your totems will get a really nice DPS boost. The 3% increased Buff Effect from Holy Strength isn't much, but it will definitely help your Clarity Aura. Grab the +30 Dexterity node if your gear doesn't have enough Dexterity to level GMP.


Shaper + Totemic Mastery (64 Points):
Here your totems will get much more life and survivability and you will get well-needed mana regeneration.


Purity of Flesh + Immolation + Fire Walker + Elemental Dominion (81 Points):
Here your totems will gain +86% fire damage. Purity of Flesh will increase your health pool by a significant amount, the added Chaos Resists are an added bonus. The order in which you get all these keystones doesn't matter, whatever you feel you need first. (Life or DPS)


Life + Sentinel + Totem Buffs (93 points, my current build as of writing this)
The totem cluster directly south of the Scion will further make your totems more awesome. Sentinel and Life nodes will add a well-needed defense boost as well on your journey there.

*Note: Totem Range is only useful if you have a Faster Projectiles gem linked to your totems. Otherwise, it is not recommended to take this node, rather allocate your skill point somewhere else.


End-Game Goal! (114 Points)
Finishing up this build, grab all the +8% totem damage nodes we didn't get, and grab other various cast speed, mana, and spell damage nodes near the Scion and Witch. If you feel like you need more life, feel free to complete the life circle in place of getting other nodes. This is just a suggestion, the last skill points are really up to you.


Noteworthy Final Node Suggestions

Normal: Help Oak (+40 Life)
Cruel: Kill all (Skill point)
Merciless: Kill all (Skill point)

Flame Totem

Mobility


Curses


Auras

As you can see, my gear is really not the best. This just goes to show how non-gear dependent this build is. You don't need that great of gear to make it through the game and end maps with Flame Totems.
