Crackling Energy - Okun's Speedfarm

Crackling Energy is the best all around sorcerer build for season 11. You will cast Ball Lightning purely as a generator of Crackling Energy with Wizard's Ball Lightning. These little blue blobs drop on the ground that your character can pick up by walking over, or from a small range with Convulsions. For each blob you grab, you get charges of Crackling Energy that appear above your skill bar. Your character will automatically emit these charges onto enemies as Lightning Damage.

Normally Crackling Energy deals little damage. However, when you stack your skill bar full of shock skills and equipEsadora's Overflowing Cameo, things get wild. Esadora's Overflowing Cameo ramps up your crackling energy damage and lets you rapidly discharge them. The build is in a constant state of discharging and picking up from Wizard's Ball Lightning. Also, don't worry about mana that much... once things get rolling Invigorating Conduit keeps you going!

In addition, Aspect of Charged Flash increases crackling damage and fires a crackling energy wave every time you create or cast Charged Bolts. This build never needs to cast Charged Bolts because we create them by casting Ball Lightning during Unstable Currents and when we stun enemies with Charged Bolts enchant.

Lastly, the Overflowing Energy key passive will provide us with a ton of lightning damage and make our crackling energy hit more targets. It also does a wonderful job of making sure we have permanent uptime on Unstable Currents for Prime Unstable Currents and Supreme Unstable Currents.

Pit Setup

• Spam cast Wizard's Ball Lightning to make crackling energy to feed the machine
• Cast Unstable Currents whenever it is off cooldown for Prime Unstable Currents and Supreme Unstable Currents. Overflowing Energy will reset it's cooldown very fast.
• Lightning Spear and Familiar are only casted if you need a barrier
• Charged Bolts and Chain Lightning are never casted. They are just bar space fillers to scale Esadora's Overflowing Cameo. They get a lot of ranks from ranks to core on gloves and items.
• Can press potion for an Ice Armor barrier and Mystical Ice Armor damage thanks to Orsivane
• Can press evade every 3.5 seconds for a Teleport evade thanks to Orsivane

Speed Setup

• Spam cast Wizard's Ball Lightning to make crackling energy to feed the machine
• Cast Unstable Currents whenever it is off cooldown for attack speed
• Teleport around as fast as you can and Teleport evade

General Overview: Pit Build

Esadora's Overflowing Cameo scales it's Crackling Energy damage off of the ranks of shock skills on your skill bar. So you want a full shock skill bar, and you want to get high ranks. This means slotting all the CORE skills and finding items with ranks to CORE.

Spam Wizard's Ball Lightning to make crackling and just go to town. Let Ahu Que give you barrier and just go. It's basically a 3 button build with Ball Lightning, Unstable Currents, and Teleport evade.

General Overview: Speed Setup

The speed setup drops Heir of Perdition for Harlequin Crest for cooldown reduction. It runs Teleport on the skill bar with Teleport evade for max movement. It runs Ice Armor for barriers instead of Que because we want Gar for the lost critical strike chance. We lose some damage from Orsivane and Esadora's Overflowing Cameo by using Teleport and Ice Armor on the skill bar, but the damage is already so overkill it does not matter.

Scaling Esadora and Crackling Energy

• Esadora's Overflowing Cameo wants you to slap a bunch of shock skills on the skill bar and stack ranks to them.
• This is why the builds run Charged Bolts and Chain Lightning on the skill bar despite never casting them.
• The build uses Ball Lightning and Wizard's Ball Lightning to generate the crackling and then Esadora's Overflowing Cameo discharges it into enemies for big damage
• Ranks to Core are very important because they provide ranks to Charged Bolts, Chain Lightning, and Ball Lightning to scale damage
• You are looking at around 100+ Ranks on either Mythic setup which is 11x damage

Heir of Perdition vs Harlequin Crest

• The Pit Setup runs Heir of Perdition because of core ranks, crit chance, and it's 60% damage
• Ex. 105 ranks in Shock Skills with Heir of Perdition is 1050% (or 11.5x) damage...
• • Then 11.5x times 1.6x from Heir of Perdition is 18.4x damage + all the Crit Chance!
• Ex. 115 ranks in Shock skills with Harlequin Crest is 1150% (or 12.5x) damage
• Harlequin Crest = Speed
• Heir of Perdition = Damage

Defenses

• The Pit Setup runs Ahu Que to keep permanent barrier up
• • You can run Temerity pants instead of Que for barrier, and swap that for Ohm for damage
  • You would then need LIFE ON HIT on your focus over MAX LIFE
• The Speed-Farm Setup runs Ice Armor for barrier

Free Enchantments from Orsivane (Farm Varshaan)

• The free enchantments from Orsivane do NOT grant additional damage from Enchantment Master. This node only looks at your manually equipped enchantments.
• Mystical Frost Nova enchant that procs off any Lucky hit for 15% damage
• Ice Armor enchant = pop a potion for a 56% max life barrier
• Mystical Teleport enchant gives a teleport evade every 3.5 seconds with enchantment master that makes crackling energy for Convulsions damage
• Flame Shield enchant gives you some immunity frames when you take too much damage, which then goes on a 30 second cooldown
