Main reason for me to use Flame Surge is for the 25% more damage from the burning ground. So don't even need links necessarily. Maybe Spell totem it?

Also, intensify isn't a support I want to use as it doesn't add any damage to the ignites. Cruelty is better as it adds to both the hit AND the DOT (I also take the 30% cruelty effect mastery for campaign).

So maybe something like WoC - Combustion - Cruelty - Added Fire (sad that witch doesn't get this in act 1)

As I've done this twice, I am of course not an expert.

I picked intensify because I was using it for boss damage (everything else dies immediately, even rares burn to death from one hit normally, so increased AOE at 0 intensity is nice), but that's less needed if we use something else for boss DPS.

If I were to use flame surge on a totem, I think I'd still want to use WOC to DPS bosses. It does seem a nice simple way to gain dps for e.g. Izaro.

Given that I'm annoyed by desecrate-clicking anyway, adding too much more will probably cause me to break something before the campaign is out. Perhaps myself. I'm already on smoke mine alongside flame dash.

Added fire: I'm hoping I can just ask a guildmate for one, though it's not a huge dps loss to use added cold/light til we clear the strand in A6 I think.

Edit: with your auras, are you able to tank an Izaro shot? I kind of suck at that fight, and died on his final stage in merciless lab. It'd be nice to be able to mess up and not lose 5-10 minutes.

Intensify to immolate makes a lot of sense, best of both worlds almost - though I think I'll miss the increased AOE.

Then spell totem, flame surge, immolate, concentrated effect.

And replace armabrand setup with hextouch armabrand.

Cool, quite a lot of optimisation ideas from your last few posts. Should all be a decent DPS improvement on my last run, without losing QOL. Socket pressure being the biggest problem, but 3 links on Arma brand and on spell totem should both be OK, and flammability is now moved from standlone to a link.

I think I'll try jade flask + cloud from smoke mine to squeeze past Izaro when I facetank something stupid from him, doing all these gem switches mid-run gets complicated, may as well leave my auras alone for now.

It's fun that you can see our philosophies diverge at exactly this stage.

I paid for six portals, I'm going to use six portals! Until the stage of the game where I actually get six portals, when I'm going to be switching to something much more like this.

Obviously this now curses me to die five times on the final Izaro stage in merciless lab.

I'm throwing together a leveling PoB for everyone using your guys' experiences.

Also looking at this I think once we get into around maps picking up a Vaal Flameblast to replace WoC as the single target skill is the play. With the buff it's getting the ignites from a single Vaal Flameblast will should 1-shot basically every white map boss in a 4L if you hit on the last stage (15). This should let us breeze through maps using Arma Brand for clear and Vaal Flameblast for single target.

Pick up a Searing Touch when you get to maps, should be smooth sailing. Martyr of Innocence is even better but will also probably be like 80-100c the first couple days so I doubt it'll be worth the investment unless one drops for you.

Let me know if I missed anything or if you have any suggestions and I'll update that.

Also pro-tip for basically everyone, run a Sinvicta's on your weapon swap to have free permanent rampage in all maps. It's OP and feels amazing.

Ok the PoB should work now!
