[2.5] Paragorn of Thunder - Elementalist Lightning Strike Melee Crit

1. A Build for the Visual Effect of lightning skills lovers, aswell as non-meta build lovers.

2. Someone who seeks a build that is not expensive however has some uniques that help it reach it's peak.

3. People who enjoy Ranged Melee Fighting.



Cons:
1. Has some unique items that are required to make it shine.
2. It is a bit squishy mid game.
3. Because of point 2., I do not reccoment it for HC.

For defenses, this build utilizes Life/Armour and the range of Lightning Strike's reach.
For offense we will use Lightning Strike with Multistrike, and optionally Arc and Ball Lightning.
There are 2 options to this build:
-Double Mjolner, they are currently 2c each with good lightning damage, very cheap, and very rewarding for our lightning based build.
-Double Rare/Unique Sceptres until you can save enough to get 2 Doryani's Catalyst.
