Searing Bond
The 'at either end' part is technically AoE in that it covers an area around the beam's linked up target, but it doesn't flag as an AoE by the game so it won't benefit from AoE passives or supports.
But it will hit all targets in melee range regardless of the angle or direction of the beam. This is why I'd consider linking it to a decoy totem to have a burning decoy. |

" Perfect :) Then I contend that this will be a much better support skill for melee than it would be a main skill for Ancestral Bond ;) Devolving Wilds
Land “T, Sacrifice Devolving Wilds: Search your library for a basic land card and reveal it. Then shuffle your library.” |

It's okay... I wish it laser linked my minions with my summoner build. THEN it would be awesome. Or if it linked with multiple people in your party. Either way.

" That actually would be friggin usefull. |

1. Does Searing Bond proc Elemental Equilibrium?
2. Does Fire Penetration support gem work with it? 3. Can You add damage to it via "Added Chaos Damage" support? Last edited by KKRT#1655 on Apr 15, 2013, 9:00:27 AM

This has all been answered before in like the first two pages.
Searing Bond deals Burning Damage, which is Damage over Time. EE, Pen and Added X trigger on Hits. Damage over Time does not Hit. |

" I've seen it mentioned, but only speculated without any confirmation. Thanks though for final answer :), so it will be good for my build. Last edited by KKRT#1655 on Apr 15, 2013, 10:56:48 AM

Searing bond is burning damage so it should benefit from vulnerability curse correct?
Edit. Someone on first page confirmed this already. Sorry. Last edited by PhreEkGarden#7624 on Apr 15, 2013, 11:45:13 AM

I find this skill looking good and sound fine, but the dps is freaking AWFUL!
even with all passives/searing touch/20lvl gem the max dps from 1 bond is around 1250, which is something laughable at maps, even with 2 totems it is pretty hard to stack all beams on a target... Seriously??? This is the promised "new content" - looks like a hack-work to me. Last edited by Lichalfred#4690 on Apr 16, 2013, 8:34:29 AM

" This is true almost for every new skill that came out after game going to beta....All the skills are underpowered(noone uses them) for some reason which is bit sad ;( |
