Shockburst End Game Build Guide

I am having a blast with this class and this build! It's fast, it's safe and it's strong! For clearing maps it's all you need and after shocking that pinnacle boss you just need to burst him down with .

With the trick I use never been so easy to shock a enemy! This way we don't need to worry about extra gear or passives they will be shocked! Check my video to know how the trick works but I will try to explain everything as best as I can in this guide.

Build Variants

This build scales pretty well on endgame specially when you start gathering all the important gear to make this build stronger! You will need a couple of unique items and this build is already strong in a budget but if you invest more on it, the stronger will be and faster you will melt down those end game +4 difficulty pinnacle bosses.

DEFENSIVE NODES

It will provide tons of shield thanks to , and .
will also provide some extra shield.

Besides this you will have lot of dodge rating, will help with this, and .

Besides all of this protection you want to have as much as Intelligence as possible. Every 1 intelligence will give + 2 mana and since we don't need much mana with this build will take your mana before you hp. This means to kill you the enemies will need to take all of your shield which should be already big more than 3k at least and then they need to remove all your mana before you die which should be around 2k or more. So a total of 5k at least of protection. Also since we are using this will replace your mana instantly so will be really hard to be die that easy with this build.

We will be using which gives chaos immunity but we will have a lot of defensive already.

DAMAGE NODES

The damage for this build will come all from lightning damage, thanks to and we want as much as possible intelligence to increase our lightning damage. But try to invest a few on dexterity as well since will scale your attack speed as well and will help with this. So make sure to have enough attack speed but invest most of it on intelligence.

Besides all of this you will invest on a few lightning nodes to increase your shock chance, reduce enemy lightning resistance and lightning damage.

is a particularly good one! Basically your lightning damage is between 2 big numbers, let's say 500 and 4000. This node will roll two numbers between 500 and 4000 and choose the highest one as lightning damage, increasing the amount you will be dealing.

How it Plays

Map Clearing: Cast and let do the hard work.

Boss: Use then to activate shock on boss, then spam and for extra damage. Don't forget to swap to for increased damage before you start the fight.

How it Works

Map Clearing: while clearing maps this build it's pretty easy. Use that will trigger thons of shocks and activate for extra damage. This is all your need while map clearing.

Boss: For bossing you to activate your for extra damage. Your first step to start the fight is using and then use on the Ball, it will activate a shocking ground applying shock to boss for 10 seconds while standing there. Then spam + for extra damage. This should be more than enough to kill a pinnacle boss but if you don't have enough damage extra just repeat the sequence.
