More laser skills!

Hi All,

For starters, I'd like to mention that I am crazy when it comes to constant beam weapons/skills in games. "Disintegrate" skill is what made me buy Diablo 3, no joke.

So here's a thought - how about we have more variants of a "laser" skill in PoE?

I've noticed some skills have their equivalents for all 3 elements (fire, ice, lightning). We already have the flame beam (though having used Scorching Ray, I gotta say it's a bit underwhelming, both visually and mechanically). So can we also have the constant lightning beam and constant ice beam as well?

I'd love to see something like this in the game:

To not make things stale, each variant could be made biased towards certain playstyle.

Scorching Ray - DOTs and large AOE (wide beam that punches through all enemies on path).
"Storm Lance" - Maybe raw DPS against single target? The laser may or may not punch through enemies, may or may not chain zaps towards enemies near struck target (though NOT to the scale of Arc's cascades).
"Freezing Flash" - Focus on crowd control - procs chill. Killed enemies explode, deaing damage in an AOE.

pew pew pew plus+1 pew why not

I'd love to see totems with some visually nice laser

If anyone else willing, please share your views on the idea.

I know there's lots of skills in PoE already, but considering that channeled beam attacks are somewhat uncommon in action RPGs (so far, I've only encountered two titles - Torchlight and Diablo 3), a beam that's not just a long range flamethrower would be a nice addition to PoE.
