Good guide, i would just like to sugest some stuff that you could think on maybe adding to the guide or not:

- Zealotry is a good choice instead of Wrath (very little more consistency on crit chance but a little less more % dmg)
- Arcane Cloak + Sigil of Power + Inc. Duration triggers easily Arcane Surge even on max level, and both grants a MASSIVE damage boost on bosses and animation-dependent events, its a VERY important 4L to have, you could try just to see it
- Vaal Clarity could be swaped easily by hybrid flasks or more mana pool (some tiny changes on the tree makes it really sweet), you will get 2 free sockets by taking out Enlighteen too
- Faster Casting is good on Flame Dash, but test it without the Faster Casting on higher levels and you will see almost no diference on QoL, you could instead put on this free socket an Assassins mark for boss killing bonus, or the conductivity curse or, my favorite, Portal for quality of life
- I love a CWDT setup with Cold Snap + Spell Cascade/Inc Area, it gives you ``free`` 3 Frenzy Charges (12% more damage + 12% increased cast speed), its not 100% of the time but its common to have all 3 up

So... You can have a setup like this:

3L: CWDT - Cold Snap - Spell Cascade/Inc area
3L: Flame Dash - Second Win - Portal

On the 6L chest i would suggest Inc. Crit Chance beside Power Charge on Crit, both are solid options, one gives you more damage per power charge (very good when you have 2 Void Baterry and 7 or 8 max Power Charges) and the other gives you a much more realiable crit chance, both are good but in diferent ways (like Zealotry and Wrath)

Now the 4Ls
4L: Arcane Cloak - Sigil of Power - inc duration - Arcane surge (max level) is insane
4L: CWDT - Frost Bomb (QoL against massive regen bosses) - Golem - Conductivity
4L: Vaal Righteous Fire (massive damage boost) + inc duration + assassins mark / Zealotry (or Wrath)

I love arc totem, played it during delirium, done all content simulacrum W20, A8 Sirus deathless, even halls of Grandmasters L16 (not deathless), however the only content that a could not done was uber atziri. her AoE fire damage was too much to sustain.
As you see, the gem setup is different, i use two golems (Damage and life), other things for QoL like phase run was very important to dodge boss (especially Sirus). Devoto for speed and chaos res. Everything for comfort play :)

Here what it was, maybe it will be interesting to look:
