I want beam skills...

For some time I was wondering if beam/laser type skills/spells will be implemented in the game, personally I think it will be fun. Few of the things I think will be really fun:

pulse beam - similar to the vaal one (dmg per hit)

homing beam - a constant one that targets a single enemy in a certain ark that maybe can be increased by aoe modifiers (DoT)

charge beam type 1 - hold button to charge and release for a heavy hit (dmg per hit) (similar to flame blast)

charge beam type 2 - constant beam that charges the longer you hold the button (DoT) (and maybe some type of widening modifier for a bit of aoe too or that can be a support for all beam types)

split beam - self explanatory, variations are multiple straight beams, multiple beams in an arc or multiple homing beams again either dmg over time or per hit

also these can maybe work with existing gems like fork, pierce, cast speed, spell echo or chain

and much more... Also I think different variations of these ideas + different damage types and other status effects and modifiers as skill and/or support gems will be awesome.

I want Malformation's beam! :)
Well you can have a beam, it's called Searing Bond. :P

If you cast the totem fast enough it's like you have a moving Beam.
Coming in the next expansion as I describe here: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1439352/page/4
yeah.... searing bond, but searing bond is a pain in the ass to use..... and it's more like an electric fence you put down not like a beam skill.....
