Build Overview

Orbital Ball Lightning is the highest dps build in the game. We are talking nearly 1000 billion dps. Its incredibly fast, super tanky, has an aura of death of summons deleting enemies as soon as they enter the screen and if something survives, they are met with one even more damage.

Talisman Priority

Grab as many Shock Skill Ranks as possible. Look for a seal with +1 to charm slots, thats the best upgrade you can grab. Later, you want to craft or farm an Esu's Heirloom charm to use here. This will free up the bootslot. I did not grab mine until T11, so there is no rush.

Enchantments

Early on we need extra crackling energy generation support which we achieve through the Spark Enchantment. Later on we can exchange this for Teleport, however, during pushes you still want to prefer spark for extra damage stacks during unstable current due to kills.
