PoE Templar, Channelling, Simulacrum builds

So thanks to u/HerpaderPoe whose post made me play a bit and improve my 6 link vaal flameblast. Heres my 95% complete build. I've waited to post this because prices tend to jump on well viewed builds/strategies. So now that I have all my gear and jewels I think I am good, plus everyone is jumping ship. I'll probably play this until the event closes. My current build: The build is based off of Lolcohol's Vaal Flameblast Archtiect from Phercia 1.0 which you can view here: [

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

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.

Yo I made a build and am feeling too lazy to make a video for it. Here's the POB. it can do exarch/eater/sirus/maven/all invitations deathless. tanky and great aoe boss damage, clear isn't the best but it's not the worst. I think furthest I got in simulacrum was 26 or so, but ya know mod rng and stuff and I attempted a total of 2 I believe (I haven't played in a few weeks). Idk feel free to ask questions but I might not remember. no idea what the gear is worth, I think I made everything besides the boots. gl

Storm Burst Inq ! why? cuz i wanted to try storm burst for quite a while now and now its got a buff! around 47% more damage, to simulate that i added 40% more dmg in the custom mods do note there are few gear setups, one with more league start in mind and the other with decent gear we go for secrets of suffering wep for brittle to cap crit and sap for defense grasping vines from the unique cluster jewel cuz storm burst is a stationary skill afterall, i never tried it so idk exactly how good/bad it is we run trinity thanks to hatred, good ol' determation grace & defiance banner and capping

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
