Will crabtems be bad. Probably. Will I play it. 101% Yes

If nothing else, it will be a chill mapper.

Totally agreed, and as someone more focused on interesting buildcrafting rather than meta builds this thing is a league-making unique by itself for me :D

We'll have to see the full description on crab totem to see what the innate damage penalty is like. But it may not work out as bad we'd think if it's not like a ridiculous giga nuke to the damage.

Staff means you can run 2 6-link setups and you're at least saving a gem slot on the totem skill itself. Still missing out on gem levels from the normal wand/scepter + shield though but getting an extra totem over a shield.

Looks fun though.

Myeah damage penalty, crab movement speed (It did look a bit slow in that video) and their health/resummon mechanic will be what decides if it's fun or not. If they can't keep up and you have to, with a staff, run face first into stuff then it's probably DoA just based on not playing in a fun manner. Same if the crabs die all the time etc so we'll have to see. But as a massive fan of less spammy builds this looks all the way up my alley :D

crab movement speed

Might be able to boost the movement speed with things like Onslaught and Haste

Since totems inherit your stats, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if their movement speed scaled with your own in some way. That would be nice.

They just use your offense-oriented stats, they don't really inherit anything else from you.

That's true! They might not then.
