Why ball lightning?

Fast speed clear
because its lightning
because its a projectile


Prós

2 - Immune to chaos damage (CI version)
3 - Critical with staff
4 - reflect is ok (CI and low life version)
5 - cheap
6 - 6 endurance charge


Cons
1 - reflect elemental (life version, trying to fix this)


Ascendancy
Spoiler
Assassin
Deadly infusion

upgraded life version
What do you think of using Atziri's splendour as chest instead of carcass jack and try for the life roll on the splendour? For the life version build.

that's a good idea to get more defense, like any other yellow chest.

carcass 20% increase area will increased dps, but the drawck is that it doesnt have any armour and mid roll life
for atziri's slpendour would getting the high armour roll be best or armour/energy roll be better?

best armour u can
ES is not that necessary necessary
what do you think of going call of the brotherhood ring? the 50% will freeze and maybe help a bit more with defense. I think it would be better than another diamond ring, only if you're capped res
