PoE Scorching Ray builds

Mana RF using Squire/MB

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

Hi. This char started from me seeing new brands (armagedon brand of volatility + peneance brand of conduction) and thinking that you can do something funny with them. Big thing is very short and lack of duration that can be abused with brand mastery for big mana regen.Big mana regen is very useful for every arcane build. Kitavas thirst with 2 new brands + wintertide + swiftbrand support gave me enough sustain for MoM + Agnostic on t16 with otherwise trashy build. Char is a proof of the concept and prolly life version is not the way, but conept is proofed and i think its funny. Prolly

Edit : fixed the pob custom lines and added a second cluster to give a level 100 tree. DPS is now 8.7m pinnacle dps with 16k es and 5k es regen and 13.5k mana. My account name is Hemzokuken if you want to import it directly to setup config yourself. I'm wearing the gear in this pob. Shout out to pohx and onemanaleft for their input and starting pob's. (I did change RF to lvl 1 and the quality to 54% to allow for the new rf gem aoe quality) Would love to know if you can see any tweaks i've missed and also let me know if you wan
