This skill is affected by any passives that affect totems, however, nodes such as [[Totemic Zeal]] will not be displayed in tooltip damage per second due to engine limitations.
If you wear {{il|The Three Dragons}} unique helmet and use {{il|Herald of Thunder}} skill, shocked enemies killed by your Flame Totem will not activate Herald of Thunder's on kill effect and this is intentional.<ref name="ThreeDragons"/>

==Gem Quality==
'''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.
Each percentage of [[Quality|quality]] adds 2% Totem Life.
'''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.
