Crit Chance VS Increase Damage

Currently reviewing my passives and I've just realized that I've allocated more than 20 points alone for Crit Chance + Crit Bonuses, and that got me curious: If I completely omit all of my crit chance + crit bonus passives and attempt all the +Increase damage passives (different potential variations, from element to raw attack damage), which would be more beneficial or viable? (Esp for the end game run / mapping). Right now, it feels like the game is kind of inclined towards Crit Chance / Crit Damage to push your survivability and win rate, while there's a lot of other potential passives (ie: Increase damage) but unsure if they would be all worth to go for, sacrificing completely the Crit Chance + Crit Damage as a trade off.

Chober Chaber Warbringer Minion + Totem Build - Help me improve the build

I know this build will probably not be viable for end game content but I really like the Chober Chaber concept maybe it's still possible to at least improve it lol? Since I'm a newbie in Path of Exile, maybe there's an interaction that I can use to greatly improve the build? Current Build: Chober Chaber damage increases also affects spell and totem damage which this build tries to leverage from. Uniques: Chober Chaber - to scale from minion damage The Vertex - for Giant's blood to be able to wield sceptre in the off-hand Passives: Giant's blood Resolute Technique (if using sunder totem) Avatar of Fire \+ 1 limit to totem passives (you can instill watchtowers to save points) Skills: Summon Raging Spirits Firewall Firestorm Ancestral Totem - any mace skill your prefer. I use sunder on this video Skeletal Arsonist Pain Offering Flammability Gameplay loop: Place 3 totems Ancestral spirits will spawn -- Infernal legion + fire exposure support gem to strip fire resistances Spam firewalls until 10 Raging Spirits Use firestorm to consume ignites from enemies Use flammability & Pain offering if needed Minions deal damage. Notes: Avatar of Fire helps us focus on enemy fire resistances Minion/Totem combination I tried so far: Leap Slam totem + Skeletal Brutes - socketing Brink on Leap Slam totem will allow Skeletal Brutes to perform crushing impact ofthen Molten Blast totem + Skeletal Arsonist - Both benefit from firewall projectile boost Leap slam totem + Skeletal Reavers - Using Font of Rage, Font of Blood, and Consecrated ground on Leap slam totem can increase HP regeneration and rage build up of reavers Issues: Survivability - I'm thinking of using Prism Guardian to make use of Warbringer Blocks and ES on block? But minion damage might take a dip Damage - Tried to get all of minion damage nodes but I think it's still not enough. Totem damage is bearable because of Chober Chaber but not as strong as 2H mace with + melee skills. Sacred Flame would probably help the build but I don't think I would be able to get one lol What modifiers should I get for my equipment? Currently I'm focusing on Spirit and Resistances. Aside from melee and minion skills up, what other modifiers should I look for? Thanks!

Whats stronger, self cast or totem rolling slam?

And why? If we want to maximize the dps which one is the better option

Is trial of Chaos profitable still?

Just wondering if anybody out there has farmed trial of chaos lately. Since there was a bunch of soul cores added, I’m not too sure if it’s as profitable as before? Anyone know? More? less? Same? Any info is greatly appreciated. Take care Exiles

what is the difference between Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2

Damage conversion works in different way. In poe 1 you can have pure physical damage 2h axe, scale it with increase physical damage passive nodes, more physical damage support gems, and than convert all that damage into fire and scale it from increase fire/elemental damage passives. In poe 2 it will only scale from fire/elemental damage passives, and conversion will work only for base physical damage.
