Notes

Understanding Holy Flame Totem Mechanics
Holy Flame Totem is a skill that channels fire projectiles in a cone. However, when we incorporate the Nimbus ring into our build, the projectiles fire randomly. 
This random firing pattern poses a challenge because the totems can lock onto a single target without hitting it. 
To overcome this, we need to maximize projectile speed and position our totems close to bosses. 
This ensures that the projectiles return to the totem, resulting in double hits on the boss. 
Additionally, increased projectile speed provides massive screen coverage, allowing us to clear entire maps with ease.

Essential Gear Pieces
Nimbus: This unique ring enables our projectiles to return, effectively doubling our damage output. Look for one with decent dexterity to help with gearing flexibility.
Ashes of the Stars: This item greatly enhances the quality of our skill gems, providing a significant boost to our build's power and quality of life. 
Aim for 30 quality, while the reservation efficiency roll is not as crucial.
Critical Gear Considerations:
While the mentioned items are crucial, you have some flexibility in crafting the remaining gear pieces. 
The focus should be on maximizing your projectile speed, achieving resistances, and obtaining additional modifiers like increased damage or quality.

Exploring the Skill Gems
Holy Flame Totem (Anomalous): The anomalous version grants additional projectiles with quality. Aim for a high-quality gem with at least 60 quality, which adds three extra projectiles.
Awakened Fire Penetration: Boosts our fire penetration, allowing us to deal more damage to enemies with fire resistance.
Awakened Elemental Focus: Since we don't rely on ignites, this gem offers increased damage at the cost of removing elemental status ailments.
Inspiration: Reduces the mana cost of our totems, making it easier to sustain casting.
Increased Critical Damage: Enhances our critical damage output, further increasing our overall damage.
Awakened Added Fire Damage: Adds extra fire damage and increases physical damage as fire damage.
Optimizing Other Gem Slots:
Consider adding supporting gems like Tempest Shield (with increased spell block chance on the Alt quality), Herald of Purity (with the Alt quality that grants minions a chance to taunt), 
Frostblink (with the cooldown recovery Alt quality), Arcanist Brand (for Elemental Weakness and Anomalous Flammability curses), and more. 
Tailor these choices to suit your playstyle and needs.
