Old school skill with a modern transfigured gem variant. Very big booms, mainly wanted that PoB DoT cap showing, but I'm not 100% sure if the final totem used to blow up the others count toward the total. Inspired by Mathil's flame dash searing bond totems, I replaced it with Bodyswap to keep the lines mobile.

Regardless, the DPS is enough whether it's 35mil or 30mil on Non-Ubers. This is also the first time I had a high uptime DoT of about 10mil Uber DPS and it absolutely melts them. You can throw even more currency at this with other new things this league like gem imbues (though the mana cost might make Inspiration Support unusable), Volatile orb for another totem, and the new chase unique belt for solving some defensive things to stuff even more DPS into this.

Defensive-wise it's alright. It deals with most content and the lower max hit just means don't run crit heavy maps with a bunch of extra ele. The regen isn't outstanding for Pious Path building, but it's mainly there for RF's more spell damage and regen is tied to how many totems you have out so mana costs can get awkward to balance. Rather than going Lifetap and full lifestack, I try and solve mana through -mana cost sources.

The build excels at popping bosses, did all ubers with some phases involved with the occasional mechanic to do. Can also do arena standing still content as you just lay down the searing bonds and wait. Prep up toward max totem count to pop on a rare mob. Can't really complain, this is a very, very strong skill gem now.
