[3.6] Behold the Orb - Orb of Storms 6L, All Content Viable!

Hey, I'm looking for a orb of storm build for the race which is actually nice to farm maps as well as uber elder, I've tried a bit the reddit's video build but got only to level 52, and not a huge fan of tempest shield. Would you advise trickster ?

Depends on your playstyle, I guess. Currently I'm playing this as a Trickster, and feels amazing.

If you don't use Tempest Shield, you're not using Orb of Storms as your main skill, it's quite simple. You can use it as a 5L/6L in addition to a main skill, but overall it might not be more dps.

Thanks for your answer, I may go for another build then, but I like the idea of Orb of storm being a main skill, nice job mate :)
Viable for starting Flashback? And how do you lvl it?

Should be fine for that, yeah. And you level as Orb of Storms, no joke!

Either that, or some unique like the ones that have Abyssal Jewels, or a -res aura helm... Plenty of options.

Simply because it has the fastest cast speed (for a non-channeling skill, those don't trigger each cast). More casts per second = more DPS for Orb of Storms.

"You clear with Chain, swap to Hypothermia for bosses (Guardians, anyhow), or Ele Focus if you have a white socket. You'll still Ignite with Storm Brand so it's fine."

You mean chill and not ignite right?
