Hello everyone here is my latest build after my Shaman frostbite Avalanche & Tornado/Storm Bolt builds!
Find all the details in the build planner & loot filter in the description of the video.
Pros / Cons
Pros
-
Well-balanced. Tanky, very good clear, decent single target
-
Smooth mapping, does not need to stop to DPS
-
High ceiling of scaling
Cons
-
Not specialized in boss-killing (which is harder this league)
-
Doesn’t require the uniques but greatly benefits from each
-
A lot of specific stats to acquire (int, mana, etc)
Skills
Gameplay is to spam evade & flame rush which proc Static Orb, while weaving 2-3 Lightning Blasts to recoup the mana cost.
Here is a summary of what to get in the skill trees.
Static Orb
Orbiting orbs → mana recoup with Lightning Blast → smaller orbs → 1 point in max mana as cost to reach >40
Lightning Blast
Single-target chaining → Spark Charges → double/quadruple cast → more chains
Flame Rush
Lightning conversion & proc Static Orb → CDR & Speed/range → tanking nodes
Flame Ward
Mana Regen → Lightning Conversion → Dmg & Haste → Duration & tankiness
Arcane Ascendance
Affects 4 spells → Lightning Blast procs → Spell damage & cast speed buffs → Haste & Ward
stacks.
