[WiP][2.2] Kinetic Blast on an 8L (RAT Hierophant)

WiP = work in progress, writing my thoughts down so people can give suggestions.

This build goes ratatat ratatat ra ta tat. I've always wanted to make RAT work because it seems like it has potential, but it has always been comically bad. Going to try again and see if I can make it work with some of the buffs that we got in 2.2.

The RAT gem (at L21 Q20) is a overall 51% less damage multiplier. Each totem also makes us do 10% less damage. So with four totems up we do 0.49*4*0.9^4=128.5% of base damage. So in the end RAT actually gives us MORE damage. And it aims for us. And we get LMP from the jewel! Sweet!

Tree

Tree L96ish no totem placement speed

Tree L97 ish with placement speed

How important is totem placement speed for clearspeed in high end mapping? (please advise if you have high level totem characters!)

We have to start Templar. Get ele/spell dmg and make use of it using CoE.

Get some wand passives.

Get EB/MoM so we can make some use of the energy shield we get from a ES/spdmg shield and CoE. Also lets us reserve 100% without worrying about mana costs.
