Build Overview

This build funnels all of our damage into Crackling Energy. We just run around while lighting flies out from us in all directions and lights up everything on the screen. It's fun, and it blasts every bit of content, even the new bloodied bosses.

Ranks, Ranks, Ranks
We want "Ranks to....." to ANY lightning spell. As our unique Esadora's Overflowing Cameo essentially gives us 10% extra damage per rank of any shock skill. So you want to get ranks to EVERY Shock skill an make sure you have them on your bar

Orsivane is so good because it gives us "ranks to core skills" this can give us 5+ ranks to Chain Lightning ANDCharged Bolts for an easy 100% damage boost.

Reason for Temerity:
Because we have the Orsivane we gain a bonus for every defensive not on our bar, therefore we now have 2 reasons to clear defensives off our bar. So we pick up Temerity so that we can proc a barrier, while also getting our ice shield at the same time, giving us huge defence.

How it Plays

  1. Cast Ball Lightning to generate 2 crackling energy
  2. Use Unstable Currents on cooldown for massive attack speed and cooldown reduction
  3. Teleport on cooldown to trigger additional damage and to get around - we do more damage after using a defensive from our paragon board.
  4. Use potions to proc ice shield and keep defences up.

What about all the other abilities on our bar??

They are just there to buff Esadora's Overflowing Cameo. For every rank of shock skills on our bar we get 15% increased damage.

How it Works

Crackling Energy carries the build, we just move around and let is do its job. keep throwing out Ball Lightning, and let crackling energy flow. Easy defeat everything in season 12.
