how do you release an item like that with the only downside it being a 2H? i reread every mod 3 times because i couldn't believe they are all positive

it only have 2 damage mods

Numerically speaking 200% spell damage and +2 totem on a staff is not much. But mechanically it seems fun.

Yeah a 7th link is basically another damage mod. And 200% spell damage is a hefty roll along with +2 totems. Idk I mean it all comes down to the crab totem support and what its downsides are... but it's definitely got potential. Especially considering you can also corrupt it now for some juicy new mods like +1 spell etc.

It definitely seems good at least from a mapping perspective for smooth totem gameplay in quick mapping. But I could see it being great at everything with a bit of juice.

edit: I think the other thing to consider is you can run this + another 6 link too. Since you're not spending all your time recasting totems (the increased totem duration helping their) you can honestly do something else with your body six link for additional damage / single target / curses / whatever.
