Build Overview

Lightning Spear - Mekuna's Shockuna is one of the fastest build of the season. This build is highly versatile and works incredibly well across all types of content (Helltides, Speedfarming, Hordes, etc.).

This build relies on the new aspect Aspect of Splintering Energy: Hits with Lightning Spear cause Lightning to arc from it, dealing damage to its target and up to 5 other enemies.

If you don't have the Uber Uniques yet, I recommend using the [T1-T4] progression build: here. It's the best build for T1-T4 on Sorc this season.

Build Variants

This is the endgame version of the build with Mythic Uniques. It’s the most versatile setup, suitable for all content!
Harlequin Crest will give you +4 ranks to all Skills so also Flame Shield that's why we don't need to put a point there.
It does not matter which gear slot the Chaos unique occupies, as long as it isn’t a slot reserved for non-Chaos items.
If you don’t have the Chaos version, a regular Unique will still outperform a Legendary item. So make sure to have all the Unique, Chaos version or not.

Activate Unstable Currents.
Spam Ball Lightning. We're essentially using our Ball Lightning to keep as many Lighting Spears active as possible through Unstable Currents. Press Lightning Spears as soon as you can.
Keep your Ice Armor up as much as possible, as it's a solid defence against unavoidable damage.
Cast Spark occasionally to trigger the Explosive Combinations seasonal power.

Masterworking (MW) enhances an item's stats. Each MW rank boosts all affixes by 5%, but Ranks 4, 8, and 12 give a 25% bonus to one random affix.

MW Rank 4 (blue): one affix gets a +25% bonus.
MW Rank 8 (blue or yellow): a second +25% bonus is applied, if it hits the same affix again, it turns yellow.
MW Rank 12 (blue, yellow, or orange): a third +25% bonus is applied, if an affix is hit three times, it turns orange.

Use the Masterworking menu at Blacksmiths. MW ranks can be reset if needed.
You don't have to triple Masterwork everything, but it's optimal if you can. Aim for at least 2 of the suggested MWs. Other stats are usually fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

The build has a heavy focus on buffing our Lightning Spears through the use of the aspect Splintering Energy. Ball Lightning here is essentially a generator for our Unstable Currents to get out as many Lightning Spears as possible, which has a cap of 12.
You will often see 8 stacks on the Lightning Spear spell, this represents the Roaring Lightning Spear stacks. However, the actual cap for Lightning Spear is 12 stacks.
Be sure to read the buff given by Tal'Rasha and maintain its damage buff.
Boots Implicit : Attacks Reduce Evade's Cooldown by 1,5 Seconds is mandatory on this build.
To achieve Perma TP, you'll need a high amount of cooldown reduction, along with the right boots, and evade cooldown reduction on both your boots and amulet. This setup allows you to teleport between each Ball Lightning cast. With enough cooldown reduction, your Teleport enchantment cooldown will be around 1.7 seconds, and casting Ball Lightning takes about 0.2 seconds. So the sequence becomes: Teleport → cast Ball Lightning → cooldown resets → repeat.
