[2.6] Inquisitor Magma Orb Totem - Deathless Shaper video included

I have a couple of questions:

Why Controlled Destruction over Elemental Focus? It's more DPS, doesn't stifle crits, and unless we're inflicting burns I would think it's better.

If we go CI and have mana issues I'm assuming we can go to the left of Scion and take the Shaper nodes as well as the mana % nodes by the jewel slot? We lose a bit of spell damage and cast/movement speed, but fix the mana issues.

If I wanted to go Hierophant with this with Sire of Shards would you change much?

Is Rain of Splinters worth using? I'm not sure if 2 extra proj is worth the damage reduction and lose of jewel slot for es/dps/XYZ, but I'm curious if you tested it.

Where do you get the +2 chaining head enchant?

We do inflict ignites, and our ignites are pretty huge. So you lose 100% crit chance which is only like 5% crit overall vses losing a ton of ignite damage.

Yea what I mean't by mana issues before shavs is that it's hard to run a high level clarity without it. You can manage the mana with more mana nodes/low level clarity but its a little annoying to deal with. The totems cost like 100+ mana with a 6 link.

I'm not sure if Hierophant would be a good choice for this, you would gain somewhat more es but you would lose a lot of damage. If you were to go anything else, it would be elementalist I think. Sire of shards is a little over-rated after the new jewel came out. You give up a lot to use it and you don't really gain that much out of it.

Rain of splinters isn't very good, 30% reduced damage is a lot. Even without dying sun I felt like +2 projectiles was enough. And with dying sun it became insane.
