Build Summary

Ball Lightning will orbit around you thanks to the gravitational aspect, making this a very mobile build. Because this build is so up close and personal, we utilize teleport enchant and raiment with attacks reduce evade to telestomp and group packs, while having permanent unstable currents up thanks to flickersteps. We generate mana with tibault's will and passively grabbing crackling energy.

• Once we get Starless our mana problems subside, so I opt for a Wand/Focus setup for Cooldowns and Crit Chance • Conj Mastery or Dev Blaze on Amulet is fine • If you dont get Greater attack speed on staff and gloves, you'll need it on your ring to get 100% • If no Greater Affix Armor on helmet, replace life temper with armor % • Can also run Tibault's and take armor on boots

Build Notes

Gameplay Loop
  1. Spam cast ball lightning
  2. Spam Evade
  3. Use Unstable Currents Liberally
  4. Use defensives as needed and for barriers
How It Works

With a plethora of damage to close tempers at our disposal, Ball Lightning is posed to deal very strong damage with an 8 glyph board. Mana can be a bit of an issue until you get your full build online. You may want a prodigy aspect in the meantime.

The whole goal in the Pit is to stun a pack and nuke it before they go unstoppable. So we have to take a ton of damage to do this. During boss fights you will mainly be reliant on well timed Flame shields and keeping your barrier up.

We opt for an 8 glyph board to really pump up the damage. If you want smoother damage you can also drop the control glyph for exploit, and the control aspect for say edgemaster.
