PoE Heart of Thunder, Arcane builds

383k x 9 = 3,447 kk per combo rune blast cost = 282 mana/s cost of 9 improved runes to +3 = 135 ~2 combos per second = 6,89 kk you wouldn't be able to get this combo perfectly, so i assume ~5-6kk dps is more realistic. potential upgrades/switches Forbidden Flame/Flesh combo that gives Arcane Blessing Watcher's Eye with Spell suppresion and inc damage to enemies on consecrated ground

PoB: Character is lvl 81 so there is room for more. I also forgot to activate Righteous Fire on the video, so I was missing 40% more damage. Mapping is okay, not the kind of walking simulator you'd get with a RF Inquisitor, but it can do it. Core concept is not new, Indigon + Arcane cloak. The PoB is really far from min/max and the gear was around 7ex total.

Buckle up, because this turned out long. TL;DR: I think there's a lot of potential here that people aren't exploring because the skill feels clunky at first. Since the start of this league, it's been my stubborn obsession to make Stormbind work well. I think I've done it (keyword think -- I don't play a ton). Here's a rough POB based off my own character but with some of the supports and gem levels idealized, though I haven't worked on itemization. I'm sure there is plenty of optimization to be done both there and on my passives. So far I've done up to T10
