Lightning Tendrils Trickster

Ya, honestly the AOE really isn't that big of a deal. I didn't try it with concentrated effect yet but I do have all the nodes for increased area of effect (which I doubt makes a big difference) but with the staff we're getting a +1 to radius and if we go with an empower we end up getting a +2 to radius which I believe is a pretty significant change. I believe I will be remaking this build though when 3.0 hits for sure but I will end up going critical and Templar. The ignore to elemental resistances is pretty big and gives me an additional gem I can put in versus using a pen.
