PoE builds similar to Scorching Ray Totems + Searing Bond Hierophant Sneak Peek (PoE 3.16)

After finishing my first build and wracking my brain trying to figure out what to play next I re-read the patch notes looking for anything that popped out. The ignite changes are what prompted my first build, but the changes to Scorching Ray and Searing bond really caught my eye. Yes EE is effectively dead for these skills, and EO is literally dead (they can't hit therefore can't crit whatsoever), but their base damages were raised so enormously (exactly 58% more for both) that it doesn't even matter. In addition, no longer needing a 4l to proc both EE and EO and just straight getting almo

Wasssa wassa This is my Searing Bond build for the 3.17 league POB: Main idea: Searing bond (6L) for melt dps Bodyswap totems (5L ) for getting searing bond on enemies + combust How we get dmg: Usual tree for increasing totem/fire/burn/dmg over time dmg 3x curses + arcane surge with vixen gloves Malevolance, Zealotry, Skitterbots, HoA Wave of Conviction + trap + multi trap + charged traps (frenzy generation) Pros: No targeting Searing Bond The build can be a league starter with great rewards as you sink cu

Which build would be better as a league starter? I'm leaning towards Hot DoT Trickster but I'm unsure if totem health will be an issue. Gear in both is a filler so don't be concerned about not being resist capped or not having sufficient attributes, though I am intending to use their bases. Hot DoT Trickster: Explosive Concoction Raider:

tl;dr it seems bad but I'm not that experienced with scaling fire DoT. Damage is simulated using DD corpse life that will provide same exact damage that the totem will. The idea is to use Searing Bond totems which can be scaled through +1 fire gems to increase totem life while also doing fire DoT. Since we're chieftain with 90% res, we use RF for more fire DoT and more spell damage for searing bond. And then we use arcanist brand for flame surge/curse while using scorching ray for infusion/stronger exposure since there's nothing else to do while your totem ign

My searing bond/ righteous fire chieftain, ascendancy needs work, and ill swap around some stuff if i get some good clusters, but here's my first planned route for the next patch

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

Hello All I finally created a Scion Spell Totem Build and I thought going Hierophant and Chieftan made the most sense even though it seems like most people dont do that for Scion Totem Builds. Anyways here is my pastebin: Im using purifying flame with Soul mantle as my main ability. Obviously im using 2 Kikazaru and took sanctum of thought so that curses have 0% effect. Im using Devouring Diadem for my auras and feast of flesh is a solid help with overall sustain plus its super cool and ive been wanting to use it for a while. E

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

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:
