Are you casting the Vaal version or the normal version? They look different (the Vaal version won't cast once you enter an area with no souls and has a little blood droplet on the tooltip icon) and act very different. Righteous Fire will gradually burn you until you die; Vaal Righteous Fire will immediately knock off 30% of your health and use that to buff your spell damage and do burn damage for a few seconds. You want the latter, not the former.

Rings with reduced mana cost of skills are pretty amazing. Once you reduce mana cost of WO to some low value, 2x 7-8 reduction rings, you regen faster than you use mana. Can have 100 mana unreserved, and freely spam the skill, nice QOL. I'd get those over any minor damage rings, just life+res and enjoy 3 auras, not paying for high level enlighten.

Another thing I tried, is linking onslaught to herald of thunder (along with warlords mark + cast on hit). It works alright. Not permanent uptime, but onslaught procs quite often, especiallt vs bosses, where onslaught from jewel might not cut it. Then you can use sulphur flask instead of silver.

Got one of those:

While power charges from overcharged node would be almost wasted, if you get frenzy from amulet, this works very well. Really long duration phase run, and they instantly recharge on packs in between phase run casts. It is massive damage boost to have frenzy charges.

What is important to note, how well this scales with cast speed. It is same deal as with totems, you channel faster (less downtime) and winter orb itself shoots faster. So you sort of double dip from that stat, boots both things. Feels very good to have high cast speed.
