RIP, I was planning on trying out this build, but it seems like they're nerfing Brands according to the manifesto.... Hopefully, they didn't gut it... Time to wait for the Patch Notes

welp..... waited for Patch Notes... now both Brands and Lightning Spire Trap got nerfed.... I wonder how much damage this build lost in total

About 25-30% if my math is not wrong. Not too bad imo.

Storm Brand
Mana Cost at gem level 20 is now 21 (was 20).
Now deals 2 to 7 Lightning damage at gem level 1 (from 3 to 8) and 75 to 225 Lightning damage at gem level 20 (from 97 to 290).
Now has an added damage effectiveness of 30% (from 35%).

Seems still to be viable, but he may gotta use a different support gem now to mitigate the nerf:

Spoiler

Arcane Surge Support
Now causes supported skills to deal 10% more Spell Damage while you have Arcane Surge at gem level 1, up to 19% more at gem level 20. This is separate to the spell damage multiplier granted by the Arcane Surge buff itself.
Now has a Mana Multiplier of 130% (from 110%).

Chain Support
Now causes supported skills to deal 30% less damage at gem level 1 (from 50%), up to 11% less damage at gem level 20 (from 31%).

Decay Support
Now deals 120 Chaos Damage per second at gem level 1 (from 96), up to 843 Chaos Damage per second at gem level 20 (from 675).

Fork Support
Now causes supported skills to deal 10% less damage at gem level 1 (from 30%), up to 9% more damage at gem level 20 (from 11% less).

Innervate Support
Now grants Supported Skills 2 to 29 added Lightning Damage at gem level 1 (from 1 to 25), up to 14 to 251 added Lightning Damage at gem level 20 (from 11 to 218).
The Innervation buff now lasts for 8 seconds at all gem levels (from 4).

Life Leech Support
No longer grants increased Life leeched per second based on gem quality. It now causes supported skills to deal 10% increased Damage while Leeching Life at 20% quality.

Mana Leech Support
No longer grants increased Mana leeched per second based on gem quality. It now causes supported skills to deal 10% increased Damage while Leeching Mana at 20% quality.

Onslaught Support
Now grants supported skills a 10% chance on Hitting a Unique Enemy to grant Onslaught for 3 Seconds.

Spell Cascade Support
Now causes supported skills to deal 40% less damage at gem level 1 (from 50%), up to 21% less damage at gem level 20 (from 31%).

Now also grants a 10% chance to summon a Phantasm when supported skills, or non-phantasm minions from supported skills, hit a Rare or Unique enemy.
