Naturally you'd apparently acquire to brace it with beneath casting acceleration to not achieve it a must-slot. But it would be air-conditioned to acquire addition arresting 4-link setups with buy poe currency underused abilities like blaze totem instead of the archetypal CwDT+Immortal call. Or acquire an complete continuance Afire Band as continued as you had addition totem out.

And while the casting acceleration would allegation to be gimped appropriately a connected blaze totem+volley would be a fun if super-low dps artisan (CoH maybe? But abuse would apparently be bigger in 99% of cases...... EE?)

This is just me cerebration out loud here? Thought? Accessible agency to breach the ever-living bits out of the game? Abundance Abutment with accomplishment + totem abutment and bang mine.

Not gonna lie, that's in actuality breadth this abstraction came from. Acquaintance was arena a GC miner and kept accusatory "God I ambition I could just accompany this totem with me!". Ideally with spell totem %less and added %less from this academic gem would achieve the accommodation added of a decision.

It's a case breadth if you Nerf it, it becomes anachronistic and if you don't it's way too strong. I anticipate there's a average arena somewhere. Like abbreviating the accordant totem's AoE (which includes activate ambit of det abundance totem) or ascent the backbone catch off of the backbone bulk of the skill, authoritative spell totem accurate spells bulk abundant added than 'base' totem abilities like shockwave or afire bond. There are levers to pull.

That's what I'm aggravating to say, usually you would be appropriate but in some cases like this one for classic that Nerf would be authoritative the accomplishment anachronistic and it would be bigger to not use it afresh to use it's weekend state. Balancing requires you to see aggregate abroad and not just what you are alive on.

There are accessible abuse/OP cases and there are knee jerk reactions like introducing a huge casting acceleration malus that would, as you say, achieve the new asset air-conditioned about to added bold elements.

However, that's breadth adroitness comes in, you can accompany the new asset in band by hitting added metrics that will acclimatize the about ability in a added accomplished acquainted manner.

Usually a aggregate will be the answer. Now what the aggregate will be I acquire no idea, I don't acquire admission to a testing ambiance and accepted models, but just because there's not an accessible acknowledgment for a average arena doesn't beggarly there isn't one.
