Strengths and Weaknesses

Beautiful clearspeed (Zap & Chain)
Able to zoom through T15 easily
Fairly tanky for early game
Good mana sustain even using Archmage

Weak single target (for ubers)
Need tons of cast speed to feel good

Equipment

Set 1

Set 2

Equipment Priority

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!

set 2:

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 ?
