Build Summary

Charged Bolts with Lam Esen is my favorite build. I love the sound it makes. I love the visuals. It should be decent this season, as it got some extra punch to it with the new Mythic Helm Heir of Perdition granting 60% damage. With permanent unstable currents and a good amulet, this build smashes Torment 4, but hard caps around T85 pit

Enchantments

Enchantments • Teleport Enchantment - Is taken in conjunction with attacks reduce evade boots mainly for movement

Ice Blade Enchantment - is taken to get more conjuration mastery stacks and reduce cooldowns when ice blades attack things

How do we apply Burning? • When you do not have familiars on the skill bar, Familiars made during Unstable currents will default to fire familiars and can apply burning • Since we are always fighting in melee range, these familiars will always be applying burning around us when we need it

Because we have teleport Enchantment, we do not really NEED teleport on the skill bar • You can opt to run Lightning Spear here if you want

Freeze tempers are important for hoarfrost • If you get GA armor on pants take Warmth temper on pants over armor (then remove warmth points from skill tree) • Put the points into teleport and Unstable currents

Build Notes

Gameplay Loop

1) We will be spamming Charged Bolts and Ice blades whenever we can, while evading into enemies to clump them with Raiment

2) We utilize Ice armor defensively for a large barrier, and you can pretty much press it whenever it comes off cooldown in the endgame builds. It is typically an engage.

3) Teleport is used for mobility, to dodge exploding pools, or as an engage to clump enemies out of range of our evade teleport

4) Flame shield is used to immune frame boss/shade attacks and exploding pools. You can also use it as an engage if Ice armor is down.

5) Unstable Currents can be used liberally and frequently when fighting enemies. Don't worry you'll get it back!

How It Works

Most lightning builds are all built the same and this one is no different. They love teleport enchantment and raiment and try to get permanent uptime on unstable currents. Lam Esen is a decently strong staff after all the buffs it received and allows Charged bolts to get a ton of ranks.

Our paragon is aimed at boosting non-physical damage to utilize the new key passive Enlightenment to it's full potential. Our skill bar has a few cold skills so we can alternate them with shock skills to keep this key passive stacked up.

With the help of piercing static, Charged bolts should tear through packs of clumped enemies in a satisfying manner. I am looking forward to trying this one this season, enjoy!
