PoE Soul Mantle builds

One of my all-time favorite builds is back baby! At face value SR totems seem like an absolute meme, but I've been playing the build every other league or so since 3.15, and have a mildly successful build series about it on my YT channel from 3.16. It caught a solid nerf in subsequent leagues due to various changes, but with the latest change to Hierophant's Arcane Blessing ascendancy notable, and the curse changes from last league, it's absolutely back. The general idea is to get 4 Scorching Ray totems and 9 Searing Bond totems through the use of Phantasmal Searing Bond, which grants an ad

  So this is the first build I've come up with that isn't a total disaster. TBH, I was following Tataniel's stormburst totems starter but then started adding stuff of my own, like annihilating light, till it got to where it is today.   This is noob stuff so it obviously has problems (-52 chaos resist) but the defense largely comes from putting down the decoy totems so nothing attacks me while the totems kill everything in an area.   It's a glass canon build, I'm fine with that, I will die sometimes. On this one I really want to k

I've been farming T16 maps pretty easily following Tatiantel2 storm burst 3.20 guide. Pretty much, I would like to push the build a lot more since I am in soft core trade. Any advice on skill tree changes or gear changes is certainly welcome. My PoB: Tatianel2:

POB: The video is a T16 Dunes just alch n go. I couldn't decide on whether to start with shockwave totems or the hydrosphere Occultist so I decided to make a bad build that combines them both. Surprisingly, it has gotten me to endgame pretty smoothly and can take down pinnacle bosses. Uploading a video because a few people requested one. Edit: Note on a cool interaction, on-kill effects work with hydrosphere even though it's a totem build (bug?). At the cost of +1 totems from ancestral bond you can make it into a explosion build.

Initial thoughts: 1. No guide, and not much currency right now so I'm sure it's janky. 2. DI charge time is reeeeeeally annoying when facing AOE ele dmg which blows the totems away. Thinking of switching to Arc Totems to counteract this- good idea or bad? 3. Tried to go 1H/Shield but the Staff block nodes were easier to reach. Mistake on my end?
