Well, don't plan to level 97, set yourself more realistic goal, say 85? You took Bullying node, why exactly? Skip resistance nodes too, you will get them from gear.
This is altered skill tree (as you didn't take any aura nodes I didn't include them either)



The problem will be running auras as you basically need Discipline, Clarity and be able to sustain Arc. It is costly as hell. Also you going crit so some Power Charge nodes would be usefull. Mind you Arc has just 4% crit chance.
I am trying non-crit build myself, will see how it goes. Good luck mate.

thank you for your help firstly.
i went on crit this build because of the strength of shocking and it synergizes with the spell arc and his special shock ratio.

different question: how shall i manage to play ag lightning reflect mobs in the endgame? are there any nodes/auras to block this incredible lightning damage they will relfect to me?

remade the skill tree taking most of your skill tree but im going for mental acuity and deep thoughts instead of throatseeker for better sustain.

your tree will get you only about 140% crit chance and 30% crit multi from tree = 5,6% additional cc, which doesnt make any real difference to shocking, and you are using 5 nodes to get it (35%shock chance from tree/arc + 5 or 10,6 cc = 38,25 or 41,89 chance to shock) if you use 20 quality arc which gives 10% shock chance, the meaning of that 5,6% extra crit becomes even more insignificant (45shock + 5/10,6 crit = 47,75 / 50,72 )

also you are taking more than 10 useless nodes: like wand nodes, traveling to ES circle under which from both left and right, not taking 2 evasion/es nodes that gives 18% es in shadow area, not taking 10% and 16% spell nodes at shadow start instead of 8% light nodes...

heres a tree without those crit nodes and 9 less skill points, but compared to your tree: 34% increased ES, 54%inc spell/elemental dmg, 12%inc cast speed, +2fire/-13cold/-13light res, 28%inc/16%inc armor/ev, 110 reduced crit%,:

if you do wish to use crit though, id suggest you start by taking arcane potency, assassination,blood thirst and intense zeal

here is a tree of 113 points with about same es as yours and a bit more spell dmg and 400% inc crit and 90% crit multi from tree:

alright, thx for your help mate using the non-crit build now.

theres one question left: at which point is it optimal to get CI? if i get it 2 early i wont survive due to not enough ES; if i get it 2 late i will not survive due to big amounts of chaos damage...

If you are referring to Lightning thorns you can play around that and deal damage when the durations expires.

If you are referring to elemental reflect you can have a topaz flask on hand, or you can run a 4L EK in some other equipment piece
