Tried it on my current PoB:

-Using Vaal RF gave me 700k dps increase
-Using Vaal Haste gave me 500k (I was only able to use a lvl 7 Vaal Haste with my current Dexterity, a lvl 20 would give me about 600k)

I don't think the added 100k is worth the investment needed to get enough Dex.

In the end, if you can spare the socket(s) [if you want to add Increased Duration to it] it might be a good addition, and like you said, no downside.

thanks! Yeah, Dex is a big issue.

I keep looking for ways to get back some of the damage we lost last league.

with our Armor likely to spike both in terms of a whole number and effectiveness in 3.16, is there anything we can replace defiance banner with to help the build?

If you want more dmg, maybe War Banner (for the Adrenaline buff, which would give 100% increased damage, 25% cast speed).
Would have to place down the banner quite frequently though. And the duration on it is quite short.

Otherwise, don't think so. Maybe GGG released a new gem with 3.16 that can be beneficial though, we'll have to wait and see ^^

yeah that adrenaline duration is way too short unfortunately. If it was closer to 5 seconds I think it would have been interesting to try but 2.5 seconds is so quick especially when we channel and have to wait to get to max stages.

I will keep my eyes open for the new gems to see if we have any new tools.

with the Purity of Elements massive buff

Purity of Elements: Aura now grants “You and nearby Allies are Immune to all Elemental Ailments”, and “You and nearby Allies gain +20-34% to all Elemental Resistances” (previously 12-27%). Now has a Reservation of 50%

This amulet would be fabulous for our build. But it is probably going to be 15-20ex I bet.

This amulet would also work well with the Determination mod but that won't be much cheaper. If we get the Determination mod, then we would probably need to still socket purity of Elements else where but it may be worth it for full ailment immunity and a ton of resists, solid life and ES.

It looks like in 3.16 we will have to trade off getting a second medium cluster jewel (to replace Megalomaniac) or using those points to pick up Divine Shield and increased max res cap nodes.

The lay out of the 3.16 tree will help us make this choice I think.

With all these changes I'm not sure what my starter should be. This build is one of the options, although usually my fingers get numb playing this build due to holding down incinerate all the time :P

A wild thing I thought yesterday was maybe we can use ignite as the primary damage with all these changes, especially since this build can use elemental overload (I assume). What do you guys think?

Last league POB wasn't updated until like 2 days into the league, and with all these changes it will be hard to pick a starter ahead of time

I actually think that if you want to play an ignite build, using something like Armageddon Brand might be stronger then.
Not sure though.

Don't forget that the Ignite damage on Incinerate was massively nerfed for 3.16. It will still work with EO but with out POB, as you mentioned, it is impossible to know how good or bad it may be.

At least with regular non ignite Incinerate, we still have a good idea of the numbers (unless that patch notes bring us something new).

I meant to ask you, what did you think of the amulet idea I mentioned a few posts back?
