Build Overview

This build focuses on two key tags - "Limit" and "Storm" - to create a balanced 1-button build capable of clearing all content in the game from a league start position.

Thunderstorm is responsible for the primary clear and also provides the single target battery in many ways. It SHOULD NOT be used as a primary clear skill though before you get Tier 5 supports, which allow you to access Shock Conduction II, guaranteeing shocks on any Drenched enemy, automatically provided by Thunderstorm. Because shocks are guaranteed, Coursing Current can be used for their powerful pack clear properties.

Firestorm linked with Cast on Elemental Ailment is responsible for most of the single target damage.

Infusions are generated through Stormweaver's Refracted Infusion combined with Living Bomb (socketed in Elemental Invocation) and Orb of Storms (socketed in Spellslinger).

If you can't make Elemental Invocation work mechanically for some reason, you can get more spirit from sceptre, amulet, or body slots and use Cast on Critical instead.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Smooth Progression
  • Safe build, with multiple trigger skill options
  • High single-target damage in early game
  • Medium-Low Mobility
  • Only recovery is through ES recharge or Shavronne's Satchel or Convalescence

How it Plays

For mapping, spam Orb of Storms. If you find your clear lacking, add in Mana Tempest.

On bosses, you will mostly be spamming Orb of Storms.

Your debuffs to maintain include Frost Bomb and Elemental Weakness. Keep these up all the time, especially Frost Bomb.

Your uptime damage is from Firestorm, which will need to be re-casted once every 7 seconds.

Elemental Invocation can be automated with the "NUMLOCK" trick. Use your google-fu here to learn more.
