Searing Bond

Searing Bond is a Spell skill that summons a totem that creates fiery beams between the caster and each other totem under their control. The beams deal Fire damage over time to enemies touching it. Totem range is 100.

Skill Functions and Interactions

The beams will only link between adjacent totems and the caster if they are within a certain range from each other. If a pair of totems are placed too far apart, or the caster moves too far away from a totem, or the path of a beam is obstructed by something like a wall—those links will be broken.

Fire damage dealt over time by the beams is considered burning damage, and therefore benefits from increased burning damage modifiers. The damage of the beams is also affected by increased fire, elemental, Despair and totem damage passives, as well as damage over time and Spell Damage modifiers.

Searing Bond does not hit, so "on hit" and "on crit" effects never apply. This includes Fire Penetration Support which has no effect on Searing Bond damage, however it will benefit from other changes to monster resistance such as Flammability and Elemental Equilibrium.

The additional totem provided by the skill increases the maximum number of Searing Bond totems, it does not stack with similar totem limit increases of other totem types. Only the highest number of the totems of one type counts as the global maximum number of summoned totems.

For example, taking an Ancestral Bond keystone increases the maximum number of Searing Bond totems to 3, and using an Iron Commander with 400 dexterity will allow you to summon 4 Siege Ballistas. Maximum number of totems in this case will be 4 (the highest of a single totem type), and only 3 of them can be Searing Totems. Attempting to summon a Searing Bond with 4 Ballistas out will desummon one Ballista.

Version history

3.16.0	Now deals 32.2 Base Fire Damage per second at gem level 1 (previously 29.4), up to 3899.6 at gem level 20 (previously 2459.5).
3.13.0	Now deals 29.4 fire damage per second at gem level 1 (from 23.6), up to 2459.5 fire damage per second at gem level 20 (from 1755.6).
3.12.0	Now has alternative gem quality.
3.8.0	Modifiers to spell damage now apply to the damage over time effect.

2.0.0	Skill duration reduced to 8 seconds. Now increases totem life by 1% per 1% quality (was 3% per 1% quality).
1.2.0	Damage at all levels has been reduced by 18%.
1.1.0e	Reduced the damage of Searing Bond (by 28% at gem level 1, tapering to no change at gem level 20). Because most support gems don't affect Searing Bond, it's still quite powerful, especially when socketed in items that grant additional gem levels.

1.0.5	Searing Bond no longer stacks damage from multiple beams. The damage of Searing Bond has been increased by around 400%.
1.0.0	Mana cost reduced.
0.11.3	Increased its damage and made it more likely to hit monsters standing quite close to the totem.
