I tried RF, GC, frostbolt, flameblast, freezing pulse and magma orb totems in beta. GC is definitely doable.

I think this time around i'm going generic heiro 4 totem build. Level all the above jewels and see how it looks in the end game and respec as needed. That and a trap.

Having 4 totems on the multi boss maps is a big plus as it is with the totem killers and fast movers. Not to mention a certain giant cold hopper boss.

Wanted to also mention the slow orbs... Fast movers and slow orbs ruined my day a few times.

Lots of new mob dynamics...

"Flameblast now grants 55% more ailment damage and 110% more spell damage per stage."
Technically a nerf! It's 110/110 on live.

Please, explain this :)

On live, ignite damage is determined by hit damage, so benefits at full effectiveness from the 110% more spell damage per stage. In 3.0, ignite damage is separated from hit damage so wouldn't benefit from that at all. The new ailment damage modifier is only half strength compared to using the 110% spell damage like it used to. However, since we don't care about ignite damage anymore it doesn't actually matter. Thus, "technically".

In the past, there was a fair bit of back and forth over whether Inquisitor, Elementalist or Hierophant was the best ascendancy choice. With 3.0's changes to ignite damage, it has become pretty simple. Ignite-based elementalist versions have entirely ceased to function, and Hierophant no longer has sufficient damage to compete (in testing, one Inquisitor totem dealt the same damage as four Hierophant totems). This leaves Inquisitor as pretty much the only choice, as it hardly changed at all.

Inquisitor
-The Inquisitor's Sanctify skill now grants a 30% chance to create Consecrated Ground when hit, as well as a 30% chance to create Consecrated Ground on kill (both up from 25%). -> Small buf, not counting for DPS really.
-The Inquisitor's Pious Path skill now grants 6% of Maximum Energy Shield and Mana regenerated per second while on Consecrated Ground (up from 4%) -> Nice defensive Buff.
-The Inquisitor's Righteous Providence skill now grants 20% increased Effect of Non-Damaging Ailments. -> I dont see buffs for this build here.

Hierophant
-The Hierophant's Sanctuary of Thought skill now grants 30% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield (up from 25%) -> Small Defensive Buff
-The Hierophant's Pursuit of Faith skill now grants 6% increased Damage per Enemy Killed by you or your Totems Recently, and 10% increased Attack and Cast Speed while you have a Totem (up from 4% and 8% respectively).-> 2% more DPS for Enemy Killed in 4 seconds and 2% more Cast Speed.

-The Hierophant's Ritual of Awakening skill now grants 7% less Totem Damage per Totem (down from 8%).-> That's 4% more damage if using 4 Totems.

As viper explained to me earlier in the thread, PoB doesn't count the multiple hits of GC.
