Holy Flame Totem

Holy Flame Totem summons totem that fires a stream of flame at nearby enemies, dealing fire damage to them. Damage from the totem deals physical damage converted to fire damage. Each totem also creates consecrated ground around it that also makes allies standing on it immune to curses. Totem range is 100.

Skill Functions and Interactions

This skill is affected by any passives that affect totems, however, nodes such as Totemic Zeal will not be displayed in tooltip DPS due to engine limitation.

If you wear unique helmet and use skill, shocked enemies killed by your Flame Totem won't proc Herald of Thunder's on kill effect and this is intentional.

Additional projectiles: Only one projectile will hit an enemy per cast. Increasing the number of projectiles will only help to hit more enemies per cast, but will not multiply the damages on enemies.

Projectile Speed: Affects the distance that the projectile will travel as well as its speed.

Channeling: The totem's attack is considered a channeling skill, so it will benefit from bonuses related to channeling.
