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.

Now costs 11 mana to cast at gem level 1 (from 12) up to 39 mana at gem level 20 (from 42). Now has an added damage effectiveness of 30% (from 25%). Now fires 2 additional projectiles at all levels (previously gained additional projectiles at gem levels 5 and 9). These projectiles fire in a wider cone than previously. Now has 20% more Totem Life.
