I don't have soul mantle set up yet but it feels really good in maps so far.

Could honestly run without a soul mantle at all if you feel the damage is good enough; and to be entirely honest, once this build gets all its endgame gear, the damage is kinda overkill anyway. Running Wrath in a Essence Worm is also an option if not using Soul Mantle for more MoM mitigation, because you wouldn't have to use any Kikazaru's anymore.

Some uniques that would be great for this build:

Watcher's eye Now drops from uber elder, but also has 3 mods. Wrath has 10-15% penetration, 70-100% crit or 40-60% lightning damage. Three of those is ideal, two of those + one the good clarity ones(can run lvl1 aura) is amazing too. Going to be insanely expensive.

Choir of the Storm very nice ammy. Mana, crit, lightning damage, lightning bolt every 0.5 seconds. Going to be expensive. Incompatible with Shimmerons, the bolt can crit. Oh well.

Atziri's Reflection I understand that second shimmeron is great. But slight offence and defense boost and freeing up ring slots to deal with resistances, life and dex will probably be essential because of the next item. Also, very expensive.

Indigon This monstrosity can boost the dps by an insane amount. 50-60% increased per 200 mana spent recently. At the cost of 50-60% mana cost increase, per 200 spent recently. This is nuts. Bonus: we can run Arcane surge lvl20, lol. Again, expensive.

I'm currently lvl 60 and working through the story but even with 3 BL totems and dual moon sorrows things die quite quick the biggest thing is you have to think of the BL totems as more piercing shots than say frostbolts massive spread so if you cluster things and the balls pass through them entire packs melt, but if the packs are all spread around you 360 degrees BL is a lot slower.

I actually think once I pick up my second ascendency I will try the spec out of ancestral bond and get more leech. (the optional setup) because when running around vs normal stuff it doesnt even seem worth dropping more than 2 totems let alone 4
