Vaal Arc is one of the most satisfying skills to use in the game for me at the moment. After seeing the changes, I specifically built my league starter, an Assassin, around it in a self cast scenario. It synergizes well with most regular Arc supports (only Spell Echo and Faster Casting aren't useful). It has nice dual utility as either an initial burst damage in a boss, or as a large pack clearer. The versatility is great, and it feels very smooth to use.

The only issue I have is with use against Elder Guardians, Welder, or (to a lesser extent) Shaper. The stated goal with all Vaal skills was to have them be useable against bosses, however the soul is so low that I have yet to be able to use Vaal Arc more than once each fight and felt more like a single use flask than a charged up "Ultimate".
Since this will get asked about an innumerable amount of times:

Note that this is a special case behavior for Vaal Arc, do not expect it to work with any other similar skill.
