ball lighning tooltip is useless.
unbuffed 10k
buffed 24k

swapping in a spark gem in the same setup shows buffed 100k damage, which is much closer to the real damage output



play style:

- get close enough to mobs so herald of thunder can apply curses
- cast a devestating stream of lightning balls and face tank damage. outleech everything
- on difficult mobs/bosses hit all flasks and use orb of storms for some extra leech and damage

pros:
- tanky with +5k life and lots of leech
- good damage and fun mechanic with critical hits ignoring enemy resistances. mobs freeze, get shocked and crits always feel satisfying
- easy to play: one skill + and flask use if you feel like it
- can play most map mods
- cheap. only needs pledge of hands (1 chaos in poe.trade) and call of brotherhood ring (~10 chaos). no jewels (complicated nonsense ;o )

cons:
- short range
- beware of stuns (use flasks or an immortal call setup)
- vessel of vinktar flask (~ 1ex) feels necessary for late game, so you can face tank higher tier map bosses
- can't run ele reflect maps. can't run hexproof maps
- not the fastest build (but can be fixed easily using less duration + lightning warp or faster attacks + leap slam)
