Iam following this build closely. Iam level 64 and flying through act 3. I still die occasionally from being stunned but iam getting there. Thanks for all the videos this far and the guides on this build. It has been a great help. Merry Christmas, and thank you for this wonderful build.
@James-m3x1b I started following this build from level 1. There are a few videos regarding this build. Before the mask, he was running a call of the Brotherhood Topaz ring. Like he mentioned, you will need some skills before this build really starts to take off. I ended up buying the ring and mask for a divine each. But then again, I did buy a divine for around 3 to 5 bucks from a 3rd party site. I did learn that paying attention to where you're warping can help as well as falling back to get a better position. There have been times when I trap myself into a hoard of enemies. The poison enemies in act 3 are bit hard to make sure to warp around a lot. Other than that try to get the gear as close to what he has as you can. It helps.
@toxicswan7229 could I msg you in game? Would love to get this working. I have the 3 dragons mask and fairly good gear (I think), have been playing AP's spark build up to now. I just can't get lightning conduit to work and the ball lightning/warp also doesn't do much dmg.
@James-m3x1b Yeah, I can add you later my in game name is GWenaviere. Do you have lightning Conduit added into cast on freeze? You will need that skill twice. Once to add as a support gems into cast on freeze and again for manual casting. I am working until 1 pm ish Central time.

my man this is the video I was waiting for. I literally stopped my Sorc leveling at 50 because I didn't have a path to follow. thanks for the amazing work done here with the build
@@DaeliaVanlife I follow Lexyu's builds because they usually have a ''complex'' rotation but a big pay off. I have done things way more complex than the ones required for this build. I've got currency to boost the build once I get to level 80+. If you got the gear for this build and you are not being able to do it, I'm afraid is a skill issue, which can be improved by practice. The fact that you aren't being able to do what he's doing now doesn't mean you won't be able to do it 2 days later.
love this in depth breakdown and explanation (other creators take note), only lacking a mobalytics or maxroll build path, but earned my sub and like. looking forward to your future builds.
This build is what the game is made for. This is genius. Sadly it is not (yet) doable in HC because there are next to non damage as mana jewels available. But god damn is this creative and strong. Congrats!
damage from mana jewels and those nodes are very important for this build to work in early mapping or you will be dying to small random things in early maps like me :D i still think spark playstyle is more chill to farm maps(especially if u have that glove that stuns everything with electric damage) but this is a great alternate if u like to click more buttons just prioritize the jewels and shield setup or u will feel really horrible struggling to survive. great video and explanation !
That's what i call a true build. Great job dude. Cool stuff. I wouldn't even call it broken. Everything sounds reasonable. But GGG probably will nerf that as unintended 😩😭
I've been playing variants of this build as a mostly but not strictly self-found character - the ball lightning / lightning warp gameplay is more engaging to me that just filling the screen with sparks. So here are some observations from someone who's doing mid-level maps and doesn't have the resources to purchase the items needed for the fully evolved version of this build. Getting enough mana to sustain both "damage taken from mana before life" and costs of archmage is a challenge, and that was just grabbing all the nodes from the passive tree without any damage taken from mana jewels. Even with Eldritch Battery I didn't have enough life and mana to feel comfortable with the levels of either mana or life. If you can get a shield with good block, that block cluster is a very cheap way to get extra survivability. I still found I was dying more in maps than was comfortable. My first change was to go back to using energy shield, but I still didn't have enough for good survivability. The big change I made was switching my chest to Ghostwrithe. This is a cheap unique that gives an enormous amount of energy shield (if you're invested in ES nodes). It was enough that I felt confident picking up chaos innoculation which takes a whole category of damage off the table. Running Ghostwrithe meant it was no longer possible to run both Archmage and Cast on Freeze, so I opted for Cast on Freeze and Grim Feast. It's a skill I haven't heard talked about much in sorc circles, but allows you to overcap your energy shield to up to double it's normal value. I'm not pretending it's anywhere near the damage of the non-ES version but it's increased my survivability to the point where I'm not tearing my hair out from burned maps. The requirement for 160 spirit to run both Archmage and Cast on Freeze does make gearing much less flexible.
This is such a fun build, i was using a version of this in T8-T11, but it is so much harder to play this in controller. Since consoles auto-lock, its very clunky to aim Ball Lightning and I found Breaches and Rituals almost impossible with the initial rush of mobs pretty much stun locking me. Had to switch back to Spark. It was super fun while it lasted
@DaeliaVanlife i tried, but it felt a bit wonky, I'll give it another shot once I'm at 4k Mana. I think I'll have to relearn some of the muscle memory and the playing. Right now at 3k Mana and 3.2k ES with Everlasting
I've been waiting for this video to come out. I'm struggling between whether or not it's even worth it to stick with cast on freeze and just drop the helmet and go with cast on shock with CI instead I will say, freezing enemies is a safety mechanic. Giving you more time to think and stuff.
Thanks so much for releasing this build guide, it's super helpful! I've been having a ton of fun using this build on my own sorc! I notice you seem to have swapped out "careful assassin" in favour of "Sudden escalation". Is this because you feel the extra crit chance is not worth the trade-off for less crit damage bonus? Or is there some other reason? thanks again for the great content, I look forward to checking out more of your guides in the future!
Thanks, I've been following this build for like 2 weeks now and I can't have enough of it. It is so much fun! Sadly can't still afford the jewels to drop MoM (every worthy one costs a fortune now). A question. In your CoF gem setup you use considered casting. However, this support gem has been changed to work if you youself cast it. This means this shouldn't work in a CoF, since it is not self-cast. Instead, I am using considered casting for lightning warp to add 40 more dmg buff instead of soul drain, bc with 2% mana on kill essentially solves mana all problems in dense maps.
Any maxroll/mobalytics build? I just went for budget reasons (and better transistion from campaign) to a es/life hybrid, it works well enough. atm at t9 maps. my biggest issue is that i slammed a staff at level 38 so well that it is too expensive to get even a comparable wand. also what you run: acceleration or deceleration largely depends on your cast speed imho.
Which weapon sets are attached to which abilities I didn't see this in your vid? I'm mainly wondering for the blink tech as 200 spirit would mean archmage on all the time but you alternate cof and blink. Is blink on bossing weapon set 2 with staff and cof on weapon set 1 with wand and shield?
I really wanted to keep playing this Build but in the end I gave up on it because Shocked Ground drops FPS to 30 whereas spamming Spark is fine for me. In addition to that the cost of Items in general is too much in this Game and it forces you to trade if you want to progress. The Jewels alone cost 1 Div for the worst roll PER Jewel.
just bought a "3% dmg taken from mana before life" jewel for 5ex. the 2% one's (the worst roll) are 1ex, maybe a little more if they have good synergy... or way more if they have huge ES
@BeruntoBsy Nice point, never thought about that. So they just post those items to artificially bring the price down and get cheap items which they can re sell?
Is cast on shock not a viable applicator for your lightning conduit? It would save the need for three dragons since you're always applying shock. Or do you just prefer the extra CC?
Awesome videos, great breakdowns of your build. For everyone who is asking a buildplanner: your not even taking the time watching his videos.. So many questions here and the answers are being told in the same video 😌 Keep up the good videos please and please keep it in the video only, no need for build planners. Thanks ❤
@Lexyu. Please make a Mind Over Matter version. It`s almost impossible to get the 4% dmg from mana before life jewels. I've been trying nonstop for the last week and i was only able to buy one for a reasonable price.
i can only advise to cook it up yourself. Enjoy trial and error. Especially if you get the Belt, it should be easy to make it work. And after it works you can start fine tuning. You have a great base with this guide, build it your own way from here :)
I was trying this build a week ago but for some reason my ball lightning (tested it) was kicking me from server when using it on bosses. So, test ball lightning -> lightning warp when hitting bosses before switching to this build.
base on my experience, shock just giving very little of energy. Instead, this build basically easily freeze enemy so it gain more energy on charge up cast on freeze
"Converting stat A to stat B applies the base value of stat A to stat B instead. The converted stat scales with % modfiers to stat B, but not with % modifiers to stat A". Why your items have a +%ES? I dont understand, can u please explain?
Great video, this gives me a goal to aim for in getting rid of MoM when I can get a few damage taken from mana before life jewels. Though I do wonder what percentage you would recommend before trying this build, currently a jewel with both damage taken and shock magnitude is about 30ex which takes a few hours of farming
Very good explained. Now I gotta wait til GGG fixes warp on controller... with controller it targets enemies that are not in cull state, efectively wasting my mana and leaving me compromised
I followed your build exactly, im clearing mobs and killing bosses t6-7. Im having really bad mana probelms, and depending on where i ball into i get 1 shotted by a mob. My gear mirrors yours, but seem to still have massive mana problems. How do i improve this?
@@Lexyu i had a version of you that i changed and i tried same things to night with your update and i switched my reduce kill cost in balls of lightning to 200%threshold cause i was getting knockout and die everytime but i had icewall for survival but with the new build you showed… its just not playable with 2k mana even with alot of %on kill and 700 mana regen… i was so fast this is so a end game build 😮💨🤕🙌 chek my lastest video it was so fast just getting 1 tap so often im so pissed off these 1tap monster! I didnt rage so much since a long time on a game
I've been using the build before this latest video, and my biggest gripe is how long it takes to wind up lightning conduit. Almost always get one shot before it goes off lol
My biggest grip is maps that are not open...coz warping in narrow paths get me stuck in middle of enemies and get stunlock n dead.. An sometimes i just get warped into something danger coz of spamming blindly..
I tried your build Lexyu, but CI MOM version of this. The dmg is lower compare to your build but the tankiness is better. I'm using Shock Siphon on Lightning warp so I can gain 4% ES every time I killed a shocked enemy, it's super ez to do with this build anyway. My lightning conduit still can kill t16 map boss in 1 hit, pinnacle boss after 3-4 hits, so I think the dmg's still good. This life version is more expensive. Maybe I will tried it after farming more currencies LOL
@@Lexyu Cool, cheers and great content. I built my own Lightning Warp mana stacker and made some adjustments after I found your video but I go MoM+CI - with enough mana, due to arcane surge scaling the mana regen penalty doesn't outweigh the pros of extra gear freedom (no chaos res requirement = cheaper better options for rarity/int/other res) and some other personal tech. Half the league is playing Stormweaver Spark Archmage, I fully expect nerfs but think Lightning Warp will survive and actually be the dark horse winner if LC can keep even 50% of it's damage for the boss killing aspect. Excited to crush the first official league of PoE2 in a year lol
Thank u for putting this out. This is the video I've been waiting on. Quick question tho, i don't have the unique mask and i know i run the chance of my damage being way lower but do u think without the mask it's not even worth running this build? I was kinda against trading and i just wanna know if it's still viable to run this set up and just not have cast on freeze
The build can still work by just spamming Lightning Warp on Ball Lightning projectiles. You can do without the Cast on Freeze setup and just manually cast Lightning Conduits on bosses.
What level do you have to be for this to be viable? Ive been following you for a while and was so stoked to try this on my 55 sorc but it deals no damage (especially LC which barely scratches them). Obviously im missing some of rhe lvl3 support gems due ro lvl requirements, is this why? I really want to make this work as it looks so much fun.
@Lexyu that part is working to some degree. How about LC what lvl does this become viable? Your videos are my favorite in poe2, I would really love to get this to work.
@@James-m3x1b try to get ailments as high as possible. im at 58% shock and with strike twice and already close to oneshotting bosses at at the end of act 3 cruel
Easily the BEST build showcase + guide video layout. You almost nothing to be desired when it comes to mechanical clarity, progression, gear setups and performance. I do have a question though, is there a reason you chose to Lightning Warp vs. Spark in terms of output and clear speed? I was just thinking the gear + stats you have could lead to some really strong (100k+) tooltip spark, that can be really easy to clear maps with, while the Lightning Conduit is so good for boss kills.
The problem with killing rares and bosses with LC is that you swap to your staff and your Shield Rarity becomes useless when it matters the most, so you have to try and kill it with LW ;d
I play in similar build as you but my job is chronomancer I think your build is quite powerful May I ask a question? Can we use Meteor + Echo instead of lightning strike? In my tree, it is focused on lightning. Can it work for Frozen? Thanks for sharing this great build 👍👍👍👍
bro is everlasting gaze amulet for ur build a downgrade or could i use it im just lvl 63 will be lvl 70 soon thats when i swap from spark to warp like i mean istead of the high hp could go 1 hp and chaos resist with bigger shield due the gaze amulet will that work as fine#?
@@Lexyu ur build seems to be more fun tho cuz cast of freeze i like seeing everythign explode how much currency u think i need to start melting with lvl 70?
Lexy been mixing up your build a little suit my gear and needs everything is fine except mana… Is flat mana and mana regen the best thing to go for over mana on kill recoup etc. My mana on all my gear is over 100 with mana regen and majority of things over 40% but still using flasks regularly…
Many times LC does not deal a lot of damage to bosses but nukes every rare in map first. Something has to be buged idk. And yes, bosses are under two shocks...
I am lvl 52 I have activate cast on shock with lightning conduit on it and I have another lightning conduit manual cast… for this lvl I am wondering about how to increase my dps… I am using also mana tempest
Btw, I'm not sure if you can go under 0 resist in poe2, so that exposure + curse becomes a diminishing return. Also I'm not sure if strike twice is supposed to apply 2 shocks with max magnitude each, I thought ur allowed to reach max shock value using 2 shocks ( so basically instead of 1 80%+ shock you have 40%+ shock and another 40%+ shock - aka stacking maxed out shocks with smaller hits )
One note: resistances cannot become negative in PoE2 the way they can in PoE1, at least for enemies. Getting that much exposure + pen isn't necessary because enemies have max 75% resist. Also, if you convert lightning damage to cold, why use lightning curse? Shouldnt you use cold curse and cold exposure, or is the damage converted to cold after all of those calculations?
Penetration can't go below 0, but exposure and curse can go negative. Damage is still lightning. I'm not converting to cold with call of the Brotherhood anymore.
Two questions if anyone knows: 1. Is it beneficial to just have a low level skill gem for ball lightning since it's not really there for damage and would reduce mana cost per cast? 2. How are you able to cast lightning warp without clicking directly on the ball lightning orbs? Seems that you're just clicking in the general vicinity of the orbs. Love the build . Been playing it now for about a week and it's a lot of fun!
Lower level Ball Lightning is a good idea, but it doesn't make much of a difference since most of the cost comes from Archmage. IDK the cursor doesn't need to be that close to targets for me.
I moved from your earlier build to one that utilizes CO/MoM/EB after finding an Everlasting Gaze, but your build is by far the most safe to run if you can afford the jewels. Freezing absolutely everything that you don't outright kill provides so much more control, and you don't have to worry about stepping on something with mana siphon aura and immediately dying. Great video, I look forward to giving this another go once I have the right gear.
anyone know what sort of budget I could use for this? I've got a level 77 sorc and im using arc rn(i dont like spark lol) and im wondering if 30ex and a div would be enough to get this really set up.

I've been playing variants of this build as a mostly but not strictly self-found character - the ball lightning / lightning warp gameplay is more engaging to me that just filling the screen with sparks. So here are some observations from someone who's doing mid-level maps and doesn't have the resources to purchase the items needed for the fully evolved version of this build.
Getting enough mana to sustain both "damage taken from mana before life" and costs of archmage is a challenge, and that was just grabbing all the nodes from the passive tree without any damage taken from mana jewels. Even with Eldritch Battery I didn't have enough life and mana to feel comfortable with the levels of either mana or life.

My first change was to go back to using energy shield, but I still didn't have enough for good survivability. The big change I made was switching my chest to Ghostwrithe.

I was trying this build a week ago but for some reason my ball lightning (tested it) was kicking me from server when using it on bosses. So, test ball lightning -> lightning warp when hitting bosses before switching to this build.
what does inspiration do for cast of freeze?
It reduces the mana cost of the triggered Lightning Conduit in Cast on Freeze.
is there a reason why you use cast on freeze in stead of cast on shock?
base on my experience, shock just giving very little of energy. Instead, this build basically easily freeze enemy so it gain more energy on charge up cast on freeze
Great build would be even greater if you posted a mobalytics build guide please. Thanks!!
"Converting stat A to stat B applies the base value of stat A to stat B instead. The converted stat scales with % modfiers to stat B, but not with % modifiers to stat A". Why your items have a +%ES? I dont understand, can u please explain?
@Lexyu please
Just wondering if electrocute effects cast on shock? Or is it even worth going with this
Electrocute doesn't count as Shock.
how to use that lighting cir
what did you use skill to kill mob
Great video, this gives me a goal to aim for in getting rid of MoM when I can get a few damage taken from mana before life jewels. Though I do wonder what percentage you would recommend before trying this build, currently a jewel with both damage taken and shock magnitude is about 30ex which takes a few hours of farming
You can start with the 34% mana before life available in the passive nodes. 9 jewels with 2% mana before life can be bought first for cheap.
Very good explained. Now I gotta wait til GGG fixes warp on controller... with controller it targets enemies that are not in cull state, efectively wasting my mana and leaving me compromised
I followed your build exactly, im clearing mobs and killing bosses t6-7.
Im having really bad mana probelms, and depending on where i ball into i get 1 shotted by a mob.
My gear mirrors yours, but seem to still have massive mana problems. How do i improve this?
By mirrored gear, do you mean 4k Maximim Mana, 2k Mana per second, and 2% Mana on kill?
@@Lexyu i had a version of you that i changed and i tried same things to night with your update and i switched my reduce kill cost in balls of lightning to 200%threshold cause i was getting knockout and die everytime but i had icewall for survival but with the new build you showed… its just not playable with 2k mana even with alot of %on kill and 700 mana regen… i was so fast this is so a end game build 😮💨🤕🙌 chek my lastest video it was so fast just getting 1 tap so often im so pissed off these 1tap monster! I didnt rage so much since a long time on a game
mahux shield better than focus?
I've been using the build before this latest video, and my biggest gripe is how long it takes to wind up lightning conduit. Almost always get one shot before it goes off lol
@@YeZhik5 you can build up freeze before it help you
My biggest grip is maps that are not open...coz warping in narrow paths get me stuck in middle of enemies and get stunlock n dead..
An sometimes i just get warped into something danger coz of spamming blindly..
I assume this is only a Stormweaver thing, and not good in chrono right..?
I tried your build Lexyu, but CI MOM version of this. The dmg is lower compare to your build but the tankiness is better. I'm using Shock Siphon on Lightning warp so I can gain 4% ES every time I killed a shocked enemy, it's super ez to do with this build anyway. My lightning conduit still can kill t16 map boss in 1 hit, pinnacle boss after 3-4 hits, so I think the dmg's still good. This life version is more expensive. Maybe I will tried it after farming more currencies LOL
comments under live streams 🫶🏻🙏
how did u double corrupt in poe2? reading everywhere it doesn't exist including omen of corruption.
Not sure actually since I bought it that way. Might just be a small chance from Vaal Orb.
@@Lexyu Cool, cheers and great content.
I built my own Lightning Warp mana stacker and made some adjustments after I found your video but I go MoM+CI - with enough mana, due to arcane surge scaling the mana regen penalty doesn't outweigh the pros of extra gear freedom (no chaos res requirement = cheaper better options for rarity/int/other res) and some other personal tech.
Half the league is playing Stormweaver Spark Archmage, I fully expect nerfs but think Lightning Warp will survive and actually be the dark horse winner if LC can keep even 50% of it's damage for the boss killing aspect. Excited to crush the first official league of PoE2 in a year lol
finally tyvm :)
Curious. Like do you go back and pick up all that loot or does it just go into your inventory 😂
It gets picked up afterwards lol.
Am i wrong, resistance cant be lowered to negative??
exposure
Thank u for putting this out. This is the video I've been waiting on. Quick question tho, i don't have the unique mask and i know i run the chance of my damage being way lower but do u think without the mask it's not even worth running this build? I was kinda against trading and i just wanna know if it's still viable to run this set up and just not have cast on freeze
The build can still work by just spamming Lightning Warp on Ball Lightning projectiles. You can do without the Cast on Freeze setup and just manually cast Lightning Conduits on bosses.
@Lexyu ok cool thanks again. I've seen others mimic this build but I wanted to hear from the original. You've done a great job brother
What level do you have to be for this to be viable? Ive been following you for a while and was so stoked to try this on my 55 sorc but it deals no damage (especially LC which barely scratches them). Obviously im missing some of rhe lvl3 support gems due ro lvl requirements, is this why? I really want to make this work as it looks so much fun.
Lightning Warp on Ball Lightning projectiles works right away.
@Lexyu that part is working to some degree. How about LC what lvl does this become viable?
Your videos are my favorite in poe2, I would really love to get this to work.
@@James-m3x1b try to get ailments as high as possible. im at 58% shock and with strike twice and already close to oneshotting bosses at at the end of act 3 cruel
Easily the BEST build showcase + guide video layout. You almost nothing to be desired when it comes to mechanical clarity, progression, gear setups and performance. I do have a question though, is there a reason you chose to Lightning Warp vs. Spark in terms of output and clear speed? I was just thinking the gear + stats you have could lead to some really strong (100k+) tooltip spark, that can be really easy to clear maps with, while the Lightning Conduit is so good for boss kills.
Please show up gear when u level 71 on passive tree thanks
What skill gem was that?
The problem with killing rares and bosses with LC is that you swap to your staff and your Shield Rarity becomes useless when it matters the most, so you have to try and kill it with LW ;d
I only swap to kill bosses. I'm not sure if it really matters too much. Pinnacle bosses seem to always drop 1 unique from their loot table.
How is Cast on Freeze procing so often without extra energy gain skill points?
It triggers more if you're fighting lots of enemies.
I play in similar build as you but my job is chronomancer
I think your build is quite powerful
May I ask a question? Can we use Meteor + Echo instead of lightning strike?
In my tree, it is focused on lightning. Can it work for Frozen?
Thanks for sharing this great build 👍👍👍👍
Chronomancer lacks a lot of damage. Meteor won't deal as much damage as lightning conduit.
Would love to see a build guide for this
glad to see you paying a bazooka build again :P
bro is everlasting gaze amulet for ur build a downgrade or could i use it im just lvl 63 will be lvl 70 soon thats when i swap from spark to warp like i mean istead of the high hp could go 1 hp and chaos resist with bigger shield due the gaze amulet will that work as fine#?
You can try, but getting enough ES and recharge will be difficult.
@@Lexyu ur build seems to be more fun tho cuz cast of freeze i like seeing everythign explode how much currency u think i need to start melting with lvl 70?
Lexy been mixing up your build a little suit my gear and needs everything is fine except mana…
Is flat mana and mana regen the best thing to go for over mana on kill recoup etc.
My mana on all my gear is over 100 with mana regen and majority of things over 40% but still using flasks regularly…
Mana recoup isn't worthwhile, but at least 2% mana on kill is good to have. Keep stacking more Maximum Mana and Mana Regen.
@ how do you feel about mana leech on jewels does that help? Or is that made specifically for mana leeching skills?
Mana leeching only works for Attack skills, not Spell skills.
@ Ty for the help lexy :)
Thanks for explaining the math.
Many times LC does not deal a lot of damage to bosses but nukes every rare in map first.
Something has to be buged idk.
And yes, bosses are under two shocks...
There is still a lot of variance in the damage range and crit chance.
That impressive as fuck. You have to be a fool tho to belive something who Oneshot pinacle boss will not be nerferd to oblivion in the near futur.
Add maxroll planner with leveling guide/progression please
I am lvl 52 I have activate cast on shock with lightning conduit on it and I have another lightning conduit manual cast… for this lvl I am wondering about how to increase my dps… I am using also mana tempest
I know that I need lot of currencies and for that I need to do some SSF but I am struggling with Dps on map I have reach act2 cruel
Post build pls
+1 for mobalytics
yes need build
Stop begging
Plzzzzzzzz
Next stupid noob
This looks amazing. I wonder if I'll get to try it before GGG giga nerfs it lol
Btw, I'm not sure if you can go under 0 resist in poe2, so that exposure + curse becomes a diminishing return.
Also I'm not sure if strike twice is supposed to apply 2 shocks with max magnitude each, I thought ur allowed to reach max shock value using 2 shocks ( so basically instead of 1 80%+ shock you have 40%+ shock and another 40%+ shock - aka stacking maxed out shocks with smaller hits )
You can see both shock debuffs at full value. I'll have to do more testing to confirm both are applied to Lightning Conduit.
@Lexyu I'm not sure if it's intended or visual bug. I thought this node was supposed to make 1 singular shock effect from 2 different values.
One note: resistances cannot become negative in PoE2 the way they can in PoE1, at least for enemies. Getting that much exposure + pen isn't necessary because enemies have max 75% resist. Also, if you convert lightning damage to cold, why use lightning curse? Shouldnt you use cold curse and cold exposure, or is the damage converted to cold after all of those calculations?
Penetration can't go below 0, but exposure and curse can go negative. Damage is still lightning. I'm not converting to cold with call of the Brotherhood anymore.
Anyone tell you that you sound like OB from the loki series?
Same type of exposure shouldn't stack no? as per the tooltip on it says
Stormweaver passive lets you shock twice at cost of duration
I'm only applying 1 Lightning Exposure.
@@Lexyu Conductivity isn't considered as an exposure ?
@mcdosdudessjgod9084 nope
Two questions if anyone knows:
1. Is it beneficial to just have a low level skill gem for ball lightning since it's not really there for damage and would reduce mana cost per cast?
2. How are you able to cast lightning warp without clicking directly on the ball lightning orbs? Seems that you're just clicking in the general vicinity of the orbs.
Love the build . Been playing it now for about a week and it's a lot of fun!
Lower level Ball Lightning is a good idea, but it doesn't make much of a difference since most of the cost comes from Archmage. IDK the cursor doesn't need to be that close to targets for me.
I moved from your earlier build to one that utilizes CO/MoM/EB after finding an Everlasting Gaze, but your build is by far the most safe to run if you can afford the jewels. Freezing absolutely everything that you don't outright kill provides so much more control, and you don't have to worry about stepping on something with mana siphon aura and immediately dying. Great video, I look forward to giving this another go once I have the right gear.
anyone know what sort of budget I could use for this? I've got a level 77 sorc and im using arc rn(i dont like spark lol) and im wondering if 30ex and a div would be enough to get this really set up.
You can afford the three dragons helm and 2-3% mana before life jewels to get started.
You dont even need to spend that div you should be able to get starter gear within 30 ex
ima try to follow this but please a moblytics would be amazing
btw i'm running call of the brotherhood at lower levels. since i don't have the stats to equip three dragons yet
Cool, I was using call of the Brotherhood at first, but switched when I realized archmage damage doesn't convert.
get a necklace that has dex, you can get spirit on it along with + level to spell sklls
ty
how you get sooo much loot ?
Whole bunch of rarity
Dude why make a guide without build link?
