Considering the amount of red gem support skill gems that work quite well with this build and including at least 2 blue skill gems what is the best clear versus boss kill gem sets?
I would think Multistrike for clear would be the better set but for a 5 red set what would be better, added fire damage maybe?
Bearing in mind OP does not include Multiple strike in his op.

What i am asking is what is the optimal clear/boss kill jewel setup for this build?

Also as this build appears to be a bit "squishy" is there a better defensive set than i am using now?

Ref Daryledpedition.
Thanks

Added Fire Support does absolutely nothing for this build since we're stacking pure flat fire damage from Brutus' Sprinkler.

I really like Ruthless, honestly; I never feel like I'm gonna take it off even for gemswapping since multistrike boosts their attack speed by so much (Although I'm nowhere near as geared as you or OP yet ._.)

If you feel like you're dying a lot, maybe Blood Rage could be contributing to it a bit? I really don't like the trade-offs of having a percentage of my hp lost over time, especially since I'm not as in-control of my sustain via leeching as, say, a Slayer would be. What do we get from BR anyways, a measly 11% IAS? I feel like that's not worth the degen at all if that's it.

If you're open to skill tree suggestions, I'd get rid of Magmatic Strike and the node leading to it if you can think of a better way to spend 2 points since it won't really do much for you(Vague answer, I know).

You could also try looking for Cluster Jewels if you're willing to lose some stuff on the tree? I know for a fact there's a small cluster node that gives +% strength as well as a % boost to life, which ain't bad at all for this build since we get a lot of flat life due to str stacking. Problem is some totem jewels might be expensive or overpriced due to ... idk, inflation or lack of jewels in the first place

Also I did a little fooling around on PoB and if we trade Flammability for Assassin's Mark, we get a substantial boost in our damage. The two downsides I can think of are the fact that we'd have to self-cast (or link to brand support), and the fact that it only affects one thing at a time. On a positive note, it frees up a affix on either of our rings and, as I said, it looks like it's a substantial damage boost.

Clear and boss skill setups are identical. The only potential swap is conc/aoe.
I did already include multistrike in pob, but it's quite more mana than pulverize. Mana regen is already tough here.

Mark does nothing to clear speed

Thanks for the answers guys.
Small cluster with both strength and life percentage appears to not exist unless i am failing on POE trade?

To Angry i am bloody hopeless at POB, 67 year old noob lol. Why did you delete what is possibly one of the best totem builds in the game?

Never too late to learn pob!
What do you mean by delete? Build is still here and runs just fine

Yeah it has been respecced

Hey Angry have to say that i'm having problems this league, but the damage is not one of them (POGGERS), last league i ran this for the first time and with 3-5 ex felt like a godslayer, now i don't know what's the problem but i feel uber squishy, my damage is fine since i have not invested in the xoph and the 6-link +1 gem chest piece yet and still doing around 300k damage with a 4 link, but i'm running white t3 maps and feels like the enemies can KO me if i'm not paying attention, i don't know if this is normal i don't remember being this squishy last league.
