Build Overview

THIS BUILD GUIDE HAS 3 DISTINCT PROGRESSION 'VARIANTS':

1) Budget Hybrid Life/ES Setup

This first variant is meant for helping to gear starting in late act 3, which is the earliest you should consider swapping over to Warp. It will carry you through early maps quite well.

2) Chaos Inoculation Swap

This is also very budget, and is what you should be aiming to gear for while going through the map tiers. Once you hit around 4k+ energy shield, it's time to swap to this tree, to gain the benefits of immunity to chaos / poison / bleed damage.

3) HIGH BUDGET 10K ES Setup

You can start progressing to this immediately after the Chaos Inoculation Swap. Gear for it piece by piece. This just exemplifies what a well-rounded T15/T16 map farmer will look like.


HOW THIS BUILD WORKS:

Clearing

To put this very briefly, for generic mapping you simply Ball Lightning into packs of monsters and unleash Lightning Warp onto the balls inside the pack. You shotgun the pack and keep doing this to move forward fast and clear everything.

Difficult Single Targets (full bossing rotation)

Now, this clearing interaction also litters the floor with Lightning Infusion. For single target damage, the full rotation is

1) Sigil of power (from a weapon swap Chiming Staff

2) Elemental Weakness

3) 2x Orb of Storms

4) Ball Lightning Lightning Warp into the boss

5) refresh Orb of Storms when they run out

i recommend pianoing your hotbar and having the skills in the correct order so its brainless. realistically you dont really have to always do the entire combo but thats how you do the most damage

Lightning Conduit autotriggers, and if really only should proc on unique monsters which is fine. its a massive nuke. Try and make sure the boss has Elemental Weakness on him when your energy is almost at 100%.


PUT YOUR BALL LIGHTNING ON LEFT MOUSE BUTTON AND YOUR LIGHTNING WARP ON RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND THANK ME LATER!

10K+ ENERGY SHIELD HIGH BUDGET SETUP:

This video Deepdive explains every piece of gear and the stat prio, in detail. Use in conjunction with the trade links provided below:


HIGH DAMAGE BUDGET WEAPON (2 div budget default):

PoE2 Trade - Path of Exile

For the wand, you don't need a Dueling Wand base, but if you do get it, it allows you to skip the 1.5 second cast delay on Lightning Conduit which is kind of nice. Definitely not crucial tho

900+ ENERGY SHIELD BODY ARMOR w IMPLICIT:

PoE2 Trade - Path of Exile

This trade search filters only for body armors that come with a free % mana regen or % faster es recharge implicit.

450+ ENERGY SHIELD HELMET:

PoE2 Trade - Path of Exile

This does not sort for suffixes. Watch the deepdive video on my channel to understand which suffixes are most useful:

GLOVES:

PoE2 Trade - Path of Exile

Kitoko's Current will do a 5 second stun on rare and unique enemies via Electrocution. It's a very good defensive layer!

MOVEMENT SPEED/MANA/RESISTANCE BOOTS:

PoE2 Trade - Path of Exile

Hi-BUDGET CAST SPEED RINGS

PoE2 Trade - Path of Exile

Cast speed is a massive multiplier to damage and the most important damage stat, because it directly corrolates to how many Ball Lightning's you can churn out, which you in turn can Lightning Warp onto for massive damage. It also directly increases how smooth the build feels, because it reduces the delay of us casting Ball Lightning, which is inherently very slow compared to everything else.

You may notice we added Archmage and Convalescence.

ARCHMAGE

Great damage when we start to scale our mana. Even if we can hit something like 1500 mana it starts to feel really good. Can remove Lightning Conduit trigger completely in favor of this

CONVALESCENCE

Starts our energy shield recharge instantly and keeps it going even when taking damage. You need to get 30 extra spirit for this. Spirit is a mod on Amulets, Body armor's, and Helmet corruption. Amulet is the easiest way to get it.

HOW TO SET UP SIGIL OF POWER:

RAKIATA'S FLOW

This gem is explained in detail here

SPELLSLINGER

Optional wand implicit, that let's you ignore the cast time of a slow spell, such as Lightning Conduit, or instantly fire a bunch of casts of a faster spell, such as Arc.

Arc is currently bugged and expends infusion charges even when supporting it with Inhibitor, so be aware if you choose to spellsling this skill, it will lower your Lightning Warp damage until you get the infusions back, because Inhibitor needs full infusions in order to provide the full 60% more damage bonus.
