I plan on proving block totemancer to be viable for a tankier version some season, but next season I gotta earn TG and not spend it. I'll get some progression and general gameplay vids then

I haven't had a chance to try either of those items, so I can't say for certain whether or not they block any of our vital skills when used. If you run into either of those items, report back here. :)

I didn't have a chance to play totemnec for too long this season, hence I'm missing tips for 130 ubers and no videos. I'll be back in 1.8 with totemnec again, will make some videos of progression and hoping to find a variant of fireheart that isn't so expensive item heavy. Feel free to throw suggestions if you have any, me and anyone else reading this guide in the future will surely appreciate it.

There's a recipe named "Reroll any item to unique". That's how you make tiered uniques. This is one of the pages you should know by heart if any.

I use Shiverhood and it works well https://tsw.vn.cz/acc/char.php?name=Hannetotem


The single target damage of this build is pretty nice but I get destroyed in areas like Fauztinville or Vizjun. Does someone has the same expirience?

Frostclaw's mechanics aren't good for Fauzt/Vizjun, they get overwhelmed easily. You need to play Fireheart for those, which I know is asking much to farm Fauzt. I'm trying to come up with a variant for Fauzt that isn't as expensive/hard-to-get as the current iteration.

Updated guide with a budget Fireheart totem variant. Also added snapshot to specifics and basics of gameplay, and adjusted breakpoints.

Though I've played only around 6-7 popular builds before, this Frostclaw is the easiest boss killer I've ever played (Jday, Baal, Kabraxis, QT, Giyua, Xazax, Belial etc...aka the 120/125)

No projectile -> never miss, slow but extremely hard hits, continuous damage even when the char is offscreen. All are perfect recipe to safely destroyed teleporter bosses.

It's also the worst Fauntz farmer I've ever played due to the aforementioned properties above haha 8-)

I'll steal my crafted Bloodmage gear & see how Fireheart perform for farming.
