How does stormburst work?
Channelling skill zaps an area. more duration = more overlapping orbs in an area
Stormburst of repulsion has more effective damage and speads over a larger area, making it have great clear at the expense of single target at one spot (unless you keep resummoning totems)
Normal stormburst skill ramps as it channels, making orbs last longer at 0.4s intervals i.e. 4s skill duration = 10 orbs poppin. This means the build reaches peak damage after 4s of channeling

This skill has B+ to A tier clear with S tier single target.

In summary:
single target: normal stormburst
clear: repulsion

Playstyle:
mapping: cast stormburst of repulsion totems, cast decoy
mapping boss: stormburst of repulsion totems, cast decoy + focus + curse + mines under boss (don't detonate, also optional)
bossing: cast stormburst totems, cast decoy, curse, focus (procs weapon/shield double damage, crit belt early on, sigil/frostshield)

3.29 Buffs:
1. quality of matching gem socket - 10+% more damage
2. damage effectiveness - ~2-5% more damage
3. flat damage - ~5-10% more damage
4. talismans early on potentially (e.g. +1 all spells)
5. rune dagger implicits - 15% increased crit
6. "Added a new Roiling Tempest Keystone Passive Skill to the north of the Witch's starting location. Roiling Tempest grants 25% more Maximum Lightning Damage, 50% less Minimum Lightning Damage, and Cannot deal non-Lightning Damage."
- results in roughly same flat damage for build but higher shocks (worth taking if 1 point away)

Nerfs:
1. Spell totem - 16.7% less damage
2. Hiero ritual of awakening - 12% less damage
3. passive tree - 30% reduced crit, 8% reduced crit multi
4. arcane cloak - 10-13% less damage 

Unknowns:
1. Ducats - any totem/mana related stuff? pantheon aspect skill (brinehook's ducat)?
2. vestigals - crown of inward eye / soul mantle / 
3. potential early buff with talismans?
__________________________________________
Damage scaling:
1. duration - quality of storm burst, inc/more duration on tree/gems
2. crit - power charges, crit passives, crit gear, ass mark, flasks, etc.
3. mana - arcane cloak lightning flat
4. focus - double damage (optional)
5. phys - phys based skill, convert to lightning / gain as lightning

Defence scaling:
1. block - minimal block investment for mapping avoidance, makes mapping very comfy (1 block wheel + 1 prefix chance to block on shield)
2. evasion - minimal evasion investment for mapping avoidance (evasion gear + jade flask + evasion flask suffix)
Note: combined block + evasion will provide 50% evade/50% block > 75% hit avoidance
3. decoy totem - monsters don't attack you
4. suppress - basic suppress ~50% (can supp cap later on with better gear or with annoint / mageblood quartz / cluster)
5. MoM - mana + hp
6. arcane cloak - 75% up time
7. curse immune - kikazaru (caster catalyst) + pantheon early
8. ailment immune - endgame avoid shock suffix + stormshroud (early on shock/ignite immune charge mastery)


Flasks
Prefixes: increased duration / reduced charges used
Suffixes: reduced effect of curses(until you get kika+pantheon) / increased evasion / increased crit / movement speed -- after you become curse immune, can get stun/ignite/etc.

Others:
1. when using stormburst of repulsion, you can replace totems to do more single target from explosions
2. 

Order of quality: And also priority of socket with colours in them
1. stormburst main gem - 20%
2. more duration - 10%
3. arcane cloak - 20%
4. stormblast mines - 20% (early bossing - not so important)
5. bane - 20% (if bossing)
6. sigil of power - 20%
7. more duration - 20% (after ashes)
