SR Trickster w/ balefire
I was loosely following Mathil's SR Trickster from Harbinger league. I happened upon a Balefire while leveling, and it's putting out enough damage for me to be content for a long time.
So I got a good deal on a six-link, and I was wondering what people would use it for? I thought I might try triple curse with elemental weakness and flammability and use the six link to make a mega Orb of storms spell with chain/arcane surge/cast on hit/two curses.
What are some other good ideas for the freed up six link for the build? I know RF is a paired spell (but is pretty pricey overall?).

A six link SR will be your eventual goal. Balefire is great for a while but once you get 20/20 gems and/or level 21 SR a real six link will do a decent chunk more damage.
You could consider going Kaom's if you think the Balefire is enough dps, which it probably is for 99% of stuff.
In terms of secondary spells there really isn't much at all that wouldn't be kind of a waste of a 6 link. RF doesn't need a 6 link and is to much of a hassle to bother with for something you don't need imo.
A big CWDT setup, with utility and leech spells. Orb of storms with blind and curse on hit. Both are nice to have but not really game changing.
Thanks for the advice. I just had an early six-link that I was trying to maximize and felt like it was being wasted as is. I just went for an amazing (and of course cheap) 4-link to get me to end-game instead, and I'll flip to a real six link once it's time for the big bosses.
I still am tempted to try to offload despair onto the OoS Coh setup as well for bosses and not be as reliant on witchfire brew. Perhaps once the 5-6 psuedo link non-chest armor becomes a little more common I can pull that off.
Thanks for the blind tip though, I had never looked into it, and it seems like it might be quite powerful for something that wouldn't count as a curse. Would be fun to find it for a free link or something to mess around with for extra safety.
