Nightscale is a very nice option to boost up Critical hit chance & strong mana regen


Cloak of Defiance is a solid choice for both damage due to Archmage & tankiness (small MoM) Will explain why im not using Mind Over Matter later below

Dream Fragments is a good to have, as u can boost up more mana & immune to freeze

Beacon of Azis - Using this because im too lazy to press more skill buttons (exposure / curse, etc), so i just go Crit and ignore enemy's resistances lmao

/ Item prio /
1. Weapon - basically just get anything lightning / spell damage + cast speed ! (Crit chance for spells is a good to have)
2. Armour / Ring - cap resists + make sure has Max mana!

This build is pretty straightforward, as im too lazy to slot in so many gems.

Arc - Swap off Sione's Temper to Blindside while bossing.
Orb of Storms - Swap off Zenith II to Blind I while bossing.

If you wanna click more buttons, feel free to slot in Mana Tempest & Flame Wall for more dps, but careful on mana tempest, it drains ur mana quick!

I went with Deadeye because of the meme concept, but it turns out pretty legit lol.
Gathering Winds is a huge win for speed (Sadly im not scaling on evasion, so its pretty wasted)
Wind Ward = tanky
Endless Munitions for extra proj and it makes Arc clear mob packs better!

Why not using Mind Over Matter ?

1. Because our cast speed is pretty high, and mana sustain may not be enough if u get a big hit from rare mobs!

2. Also since our mana regen is very high, im using Zenith II for high dps boost most of the time (90% mana uptime)
