I have the range totem equipped in my gloves and it won't let me use the totem. The totem skill is not showing up at all, I even removed my shockwave totem and it won't show up in my skill list.

NOT sure if you saw this from my edited previous post but....

Also made it to 2nd difficulty and I'm having a hard time choosing a quest reward..I have discipline/determination Aura(how do auras work?) or flame/rejuv totems? which one should I choose?

this says that poison arrow doesn't work with ranged totem. so if that's what you have linked, try another. remember that the ranged totem isn't going to show up in the skills list. instead you will see the icon of whatever skill you have linked to the totem. if you link cold shot and ranged totem, the icon will show cold shot (marked with a T)

I've never tried determination. discipline is good if you want to improve your energy shield. flame totem is is decent once you level it up 5+. rejuvenation totem is ok for melee types but you probably wont need it. the auras hold mana in reserve while they are turned on.

why did they have to add a range totem?


why didn't they just add range attacks to the existing skill totem?

also don't know why they wouldn't let poison arrow work


Hate all the nerfing in games

Ok thank you for that analysis, so when I use that skill the totem goes up? kind of stupid but i'll try it. I have it narrowed down to flame totem/discipline, not sure which to use.

EDITED...

Still doesn't work even with a linked skill, I tried using arc but it just casts that spell. The only thing i can think of is that it has to be on the Bow itself.

no, it doesn't have to be on bow

You might be using wrong Icon in hotkeys

There will be 2 copies of spell Arc ... one will have a small T in corner signifying that it's used via Totem.

Left click on spell in Hotkey section and it will pop up list of possible Hotkey skills to use. Look for skill with "T" and click on it to switch.

right. that wont work. you have a ranged totem. you need to link it to ranged skills. ranged skills are green gems. those are the bow skills. that's why you need to have your bow equipped to for the ranged totem to work. the gems don't need to be in the bow. just put those gems wherever you have red and green sockets linked. then equip your bow so you can raise the totem.

to use the arc spell, you need a spell totem. the spell totem links up to blue skill gems.

Got a level 8 marauder I started last night. I was pleasantly surprised that your stash stays intact even after your character dies.

I'm going max life and max resist in my tree right now.

I have a marauder, I am swinging him by the bow tree and make him ranged and tank for up close beatings.. Kind of like my old DaoC character..

poison arrow uses chaos damage so they don't want it to be spammed. there's just a few mobs that resist chaos damage.

sounds like the problem is with this weird Chaos damage they insist on having and not with the totem.

never understood calling it poison when it's really chaos and why Chaos damage is some special damage that you can't get resistance for

Then there is inoculation with makes you immune to chaos but reduces your life points to 1.

Now they have adding 3 nodes to the passive skills for some chaos resist

Sounds like they came up with the passive first and have just patched all the other stuff around this cool passive idea they came up with

the whole thing is weird

[Bump]

ya it really sucks late game with you have -60% chaos resists. I have a flask that comes in handy for that though.

[Fishpicker]

do you guys enchant all your rings? I transmutate, augment and alter all of them. I have 2 topaz rings with chaos resist. 9% is the highest. I think prismatic rings can resist chaos too if you do enough alteration. I enchant my amulets, but they usually end up with bonuses to HP, MP, H regen and stats.

not loving my ground slam marauder

But I'm loving my lvl 48 cold crit freezing pulse shadow. It's much better.

Thanks for that Laz and Fish I will try it. Is there any way to reset instances/farm without rewalking all the way to the boss?
All I see are old methods that don't work any more.

Only method i know of is to ctrl+left click on waypoint of area but you can't be IN area that you want to reset. So you have to make to a waypoint to leave/reset it.

dunno if that's what you're looking for or not.
