Anyone looked at using the "10% increased Spell Damage" large cluster to generate Arcane Surge?
2 Added Passive Skills are Jewel Sockets
1 Added Passive Skill is Arcane Adept
- 5% cast speed while channeling, 20% inc channeling damage, gain arcane surge after channeling 1 second
1 Added Passive Skill is Arcane Heroism
- 30% increased effect of arcane surge, 10% chance to gain arcane surge when you hit a unique enemy
1 Added Passive Skill is Essence Rush
- 40% increased damage while leeching, 0.3% of spell damage leeches
Taken all together, this means you will have a lvl 7 arcane surge up when bossing. ED will do 6% more damage and Blight will do 9% more damage over the arelil 2 cluster setup. Here's the PoB (note you have to turn on/off arcane surge in the skills section when you switch trees since PoB doesn't understand the cluster mods that are granting it).

The % increased spell damage ones (which grant arcane surge) have less consistent damage, but higher peaks when arcane surge is up. If you instead run %increased chaos damage, you're at about 75% of the value, but it's "always on". Due to that ease-of-use I just opted to go that way. Also, Im pretty sure the arcane surge you get from it is level 1, not level 7. From my testing I did a few weeks back, I also dont think you can reset arcane surge until it expires, which is kind of annoying.
By taking Arcane Heroism, the effect of Arcane Surge is increased 30%. So the lvl 1 Arcane Surge granted by Arcane Adept gives 10% more damage plus 30% = 13% more damage, which is equivalent to a lvl 7 Arcane Surge skill. Oh and channeling another second restarts the buff timer.
At this point, I'm desperate for single target damage. Having 75% of the dps up all the time isn't worth much since everything but unique mobs die almost instantly. Where I need more dps is when I'm using blight.

The downside of putting F&S in there is that I'd have to buy the helmet again with 3B/1R sockets
Just use chromatic orbs.

I probably didn't explain very well about the Enlighten gem - the auras add up to 110% mana reserved, the gem (lvl 3) reduces it by 8% so that's still 102% reserved?
Vertex gives +1 to socketed gems so enlighten 3 will have power of enlighten 4 with the bonus.
Drop soul strike, get a + life + double DoT quiver, get a malevolence DoT watchers eye, get 2x large cluster jewels (8 socket) + 4 medium cluster jewels (4 or 5 socket), in the medium jewels, socket solid +DPS + life normal jewels in 2 of the 4 mediums. In other two have your watchers eye + your No Witnesses small. Catalysts on all jewelry - definitely wouldnt use the + attributes catalyst on amulet as its doing nothing. Would go with a +life catalyst. Your topaz ring is 'ok' but with the level of your other gear Im sure you could get something better. Blessed orb your amulet for +16 to all stats (lol).
edit: cant tell if you have an open affix on your hubris. If its a suffix, could craft aspect of the spider on it. If its a prefix might as well just exalt slam it and pray to RNG gods for something good ha.
What is funny, I changed
for:
...and I dropped from 790 to 750k :D. Probably critical strike drop caused it, but I wasn't aware it was so important :(
...or not. Seem like with old quiver I hav 6xx k dps, not 790 - no idea why it showed 790 at one time yesterday. Lol :D
