Level 20 Searing Bond of Detonation Gem

Skill Overview

Unlike the base version that creates a persistent burning beam between totems, this transfigured version focuses on a detonation mechanic.

  • Mechanism: It summons a totem that casts a beam of fire at you, which then triggers a detonation effect.
  • Synergy: Players are experimenting with Hierophant builds to take advantage of the high totem count (often 7+ totems) to maximize the overlapping coverage and damage of the detonations.
  • Speed Buffs: A general 3.28 change makes all totems approximately 2x faster to emerge and activate, significantly reducing the "clunkiness" of summoning multiple totems for this skill.

Build Guide

  • Damage Scaling: Similar to the base version, it scales with Fire Damage, Burning Damage, Elemental Damage, and Damage over Time.
  • Positioning: Because the beam is cast toward the player, your movement directly influences where the beams and subsequent detonations occur.
  • Totem Limit: Searing Bond gems traditionally allow for one additional totem, helping you reach higher totem counts even without the Ancestral Bond keystone.
