How it Works

IMPORTANT : Build functions on Living Lightning II and Bonestorm interaction. In order to make it work you need Storm Rune or just "damage as extra lightning" on your wand that set for set 2.
It will create ~5-8 living lightnings that just melt bosses.
SET 2 - Bonestorm only
SET 1 - Chaos and other skills
DONT KNOW HOW WEAPON SETS WORK? - WATCH THIS

Clear with Essence Drain + Contagion .
Overall it's simple build but with very optimized passive tree

After reaching maps, you can continue like this, or try "STARTER T15" Version. It will use mana as resource, and uniques to make us take damage from mana before life. Preety fun "reaper" setup, not most op, but definetly cool version.
