PoE 3.23 Affliction Channelling builds with custom stat filters

Crusader plate gives me 40k armour unique plate gives me 48k Whats better no crit damage or 6% reduction? hrm I had attached images. Reattached Here is the POB with both chests They seem very close. I wonder if the never take criticals is better than the 6% reduction and loss of other stats.

The Build The endgame setup should look like this: You max out on your Scorching Ray totems and then add as much Searing bond bois as you can alongside them without replacing the Scorching ray totems. The reason for this is because every additional totem active adds 5% mroe damage to everything and since searing bond comes with +3 to additional totems and we can add multiple totems on top of it they are the perfect choice in a build that relies on DoT damage which simultaneously buffs them. You need to hit an enemy with Flame dash or cast it twice to apply Arcane Surge. Additionall

Feel like I hit a brick wall with this build, I got it to be pretty tanky and I can even survive t16 whisped maps and tank through some crazy mobs, but my DPS feels lacking.

Getting all charges beyond 11 seems prohibitively expensive. Is this just sort of the nature of this build, am I missing something super obvious? Considering re-rolling at this point for something w poison to clear juiced t16s and maybe
