Thanks in advance !!

Looks solide. My is similar. But without expensive ES gear you will die alot. The ES notes from the tree is not enough to survive. You need Gear that cost many exalted to survive. Or you have much luck to find your gear....

Looks close to what I've started. I'm only at level 14 though with it. Hope to pickup some more skills soon. Spamming spark is getting boring.

I made just a few small changes to what you had there. I feel going to the other side of the ES nodes would put you in a better area for other nodes. As you see I picked up the +20% mana reg on that side. Also just went ahead and tagged that +12% maximum mana at the starting point.



I do like what you've done though.

Nice build you got there .

1 question - How would mana regeneration helps ??? Right now I am playing with my current build and one thing I found out that is having low mana .. mainly is due to the mana reserved from the gem , clarity.

So is it recommended to invest into maximum mana ???

any character that deals lightning damage will want static blows to shock more often.

You want to pick up ci around 60, before you enter western forest in merc but not before.

I find shock duration passives just not worth it. Unless you're doing gmp lmp fork spark, you won't need it.

I definitely recommend getting inner force since you're so close to it.

Crit modifiers aren't worth it IMO until you get gear to support them ( global crit mod daggers/amulet).

Here's what I would do if I were you

You'll want more es nodes than I put if you are close up and using spark.
While you do maps and start getting end game gear, you can start picking up crit mods to drastically increase your dps.

What's your main skill? sparks? in my experience, you'll be drinking a lot of mana potion for this build. and why you have too many nodes for ES?

I throw alot of ES because I want to reply on my ES instead of my life points as I am going to use CI .


Right now my main skills is arc and spark . I'm a person who likes critical hits ..


@mariox1011 True enough, I like your idea of reducing the shock duration passives , but lightning damage is base on shock isn't it?? The more shock you have on monster , the more damage you deal on the monster ???

Correct me if I am wrong .

You are right in reducing the amount of crit passives in skill tree .


Thanks for the comment !! Appreciate more comment incoming !!

Is it a good idea to throw in alot of health nodes ??? Because I am throwing in CI also . I also had 1 node on " Pain Attunement " which allows me to deal more damage when on low life.



Please comment.

Appreciate you guys for the comments
Thanks alot!!!!!

go CI, u do not need life
