65k h/o barrage tooltip. As mentioned, I just need to practice on this build. I did one set, came down to three portals in the first phase and let someone else finish just to be safe. It's not that the build isn't capable, I just need to learn how to maneuver better.
INTRODUCTION Hi guys, this is my second build guide following my fire nova miner occultist in Breach. I got bored of one shotting bosses with my miner so I decided that I wanna play an insane clear speed build instead, and I thought that an ele wander raider would be the perfect suit for one.
This build is really powerful as raider because you get so much movement/attack speed from frenzy charges, ele status immunity, and attack damage with phasing. Going lowlife with prism guardian allows me to use 5 boosted level dps auras (Haste,HOT,HOI,Anger,Wrath) along with discipline while running curse on hit on HOT (assassin's mark). Giving us well-rounded offense/defense- we don't even need skyforths!
Not only is mapping fun as hell with this character, but it actually does REALLY well for single-target. Using barrage, I managed to leech through shaper beam without any flasks up and killed him shortly before making this guide :)
Who needs frostwall? xD

Pathfinder version:
Spoiler
Credits go out to philophil for providing his pathfinder version of wander.
This version of the build is the absolute best for people with a BUDGET OF 100EX OR MORE, and for those who understand the game properly and know how to min-max their gear. This is because you must be able to sustain ES loss from skyforths & make the best use of your aura effectiveness (lvl 4 empowers on dps/defensive auras). It is heavily supported by flasks such as vinktars for mana/ES leech and has on par clear-speed as raider (even without frenzy charges, due to quicksilver uptime) and better single-target due to empowers on aura's and choir of the storm amulet (gives very high crit chance when using both purities) - these are all made possible by skyforth's mana boost. The downside is low ES, which has to be mitigated by very solid jewelry/gloves/& jewels and being a high level char.

LINKS AND GEMS
Spoiler
Check my gear for my gem setup.
Main DPS Setup
We use barrage on a 6 link for single target and KB on a 5 link (gloves) for clearing.
Aura Setup
For aura's we run Anger, Wrath, HOT, HOI, Haste, and Discipline, along with curse on hit warlords mark/assassins on HOT.
Golem
Lightning golem is the best in our case since we prioritize flat lightning on gear. Also gives us really nice attack speed.
PCOC & Vaal gems setup
We use an orb of storms, pcoc & increased crit strikes to generate power charges while mapping/bosses since we don't have skyforths. You can drop these for an extra aura if you have them. Vaal haste is used for a big movement speed/attack speed buff and gives us a really nice boost for clear speed.
GEAR EXPLANATION
Spoiler
Body armor: Nothing to say here, we are going LL so shavs is our best option. You might get away with a 5 link shavs but you will have to sacrifice some single target. Helmet % Enchant: CoE is very powerful for ele wanders and is in general the best choice to go for. It allows us to scale % attack damage through spell damage on our wand/jewels. % scaling becomes very powerful when we have a lot of flat ele dmg (lightning) on our gear/gems. WE should be able to squeeze in 100% + ele dmg on our jewels/wand. For our helm enchant ideally what you should be looking for is +additional barrage projectiles, but since that is very hard to get I went for barrage AS. You can also go for barrage damage or any modifiers to KB and maybe even reduced mana reservation on HOI/HOT or any other auras. Wand: This is a terrible example of a good wand but it's what I have for now. Here are the stats you should be looking for in terms of priority: Spell damage (70% +), Crit chance (10% +), Attack speed (1.65+), Added Elemental damage (Added lightning is best), Accuracy, Crit multi. Short Wand-crafting guide:
Spoiler
This is how I crafted my wand:
> Bought T1 added lightning damage rare wand with ~ 70% Spell damage with no other prefix and an open suffix
> Scour all suffixes (Lvl 8 master, cost 2ex)
> Multimod (2ex)
> Craft AS, Crit, and your preferred prefix (WED in my case)
That's how you guarantee a decent wand :) you could also buy T1 cold/lightning, do the same and craft spell damage/AS/crit. Probably better if you can't find decent rolled spell damage prefix.
Rings: These are the rings i'm using. What you are looking for is % Weapon ele damage , Added lightning to attacks, % ES or Flat ES, Resistances, and finally strength (For gem reqs). Opal rings and diamond rings constitute the best bases. There are some mods that can be decent such as # Accuracy & Added Fire/cold damage but it would be best to focus on former dps mods. Belt & Amulet: Crystal belt is straight forward. You should be looking for high flat ES & resistances. If you have both of those covered then % Increased WED is also very good. I use a presence of chayula because I don't currently have skyforths and is BIS for LL. Boots: High ES boots with 30% movespeed, flat lightning enchant when you haven't killed recently is extremely good especially with all our % damage modifiers.Shield:
Prism allows us to use an extra 2 high levelled ( Anger & HOT ). With skyforths you will be able to also run HOI as well as an empower on your disc/wrath. Giving us a total of 6 auras. The shield also lets us cap resists and imo is better than a high ES shield since it gives us massive scaling by stacking auras. Gloves: Thunderfist are great because they give us a free 5 link on KB , attack speed, and most importantly more flat lightning to scale with our massive amounts of % modifiers. You can certainly switch out thunderfists for a rare ES gloves but you will lose out on a lot of dps on KB, and some on barrage. I switch to these gloves mainly to prevent one-shots (face tanking max buff uber izaro) and the KB damage loss isn't noticeable on monsters there.

Q&A
Spoiler
Why not inquisitor? isn't that better damage?
Inquisitor pretty much has slightly less damage than raider (and probably pathfinder) on bosses, because you lose out on your frenzy charges, and you have to sacrifice 8 nodes from start. This is all assuming you are using this tree I made. It's simply not worth going inquisitor simply because of how much move speed you lose, dodge, and perma ailment immunity (means less dps flasks/MS loss). Sure you can do extra damage making bosses go to - resists but it's just not worth it , especially since bosses don't have too much ele resist ( Shaper 40%, uber atziri 30%) it's just less dps, and also the inquisitor pen node isn't very helpful for trash clears. On the other hand, if you find a way to gather frenzy charges, then you'll be doing the same dps on trash, and about 10-20% more dmg on bosses, but how will you get frenzy for bosses then?
It's not as good as pathfinder, because of the extra proj and flask up-time/effect as well as raider due to frenzy charges (7 that give extra movespeed/AS/AD over base stats),and not to forget ailment immunity, dodge & dps gain from passives.
The penetration from inquisitor may seem powerful but only works on crit, and after some calculations on path of building it only gives 40% MORE damage, which is outweighed by raider's dps gain ( around 50% MORE, due to reasons listed before)
On the skill tree, why do you get Elemental Focus instead of going to Coldhearted Calculation through Assassination? With Crown of Eyes converting the spell damage, this gives the same amount of % increase, while also giving 20% increased crit as well as 20 int for % es. It also places you right next to Nullification which you can go to if you need the resist and ES.
