The worst skill build challenge:4TH Edition! ITS POLL TIME TILL DEC 11TH!!!

Technically remote mine is a support, not a skill. And I think the skill should not only do damage but that should be it's primary use. So not lightning warp for movement and portal/ice wall are troll responses to try and be funny.

I think arctic breath is the least used skill that's intended for damage with a bit of survivability (all cold spells are survivability).

It just doesn't have anything going for it. It's not fast casting, it's damage isn't good, it can't be used until later levels, it's AoE isn't great, and it's chill isn't very useful.

Searing bond.

I wont and cant do anything with Searing bond....

it has a bad dps
pretty much no multiplier
can only be linked with 3 support gems
-faster casting, useless
-remote mine, dmg multiplier doesnt fucking apply
-add burning damage, woohoo it works

the skill needs to be set as a projectile so it can be forked
or
links with not only you but also all you mates and minions

Arctic Breath!!!

It looks cool, especially with GMP. I suppose a crit arctic breath can do some damage, and freeze/chill the whole screen.

I'd love to see a Fire Trap.

Oh, I know it's damage can be half-decent, but any area later than The Ledge is going to involve lots of enemies that don't "cooperate" with it's ground-burn effect ;p

im running a lvl90 firetrap templar doing 74+ maps. its dps rivals that of discharge when you combine dual curse, ele equilibrium, shock stacks, and searing touch, but without the reflect problems.

Searing Bond - like a few above me said.

Appearantly Searing Bond is "more than map viable" (source: http://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1ip4iv/melbourne_meet_greet_a_prophecy_was_written/) we just haven't figured it out yet.

I know that searing bond can do up to 1500burning damage per sec per totem but... i doubt its effective and viable as a solo dps skill

Im about to try the challenge with searing bond

Fire Trap with searing bond with 3 totems is likely viable end game however it will pale in comparison to other builds.

Just because GGG says its viable does not mean it is efficient.

Anyway, looking forward to your review past level 70.

Don't die!

That just means you don't have to invest in links! (haha.)

Anyway, Elemental Proliferation + Increased Burning Damage + Fire Penetration(does it work?) + Minion and Totem elemental resistance + Faster Casting

Use Searing Touch, get Burn nodes, Ancestral Bond, and that's probably the most you can get out of it.

Edit: And yeh, Soul Mantle + Vulnerability like you posted above, and putting fire trap in place of a support gem is good if it isn't considered cheating.
