Endgame Core Setup

Lightning Surge is the main endgame damage plan, with Storm Cloud and Charged Bolts still carrying useful value as supporting layers.

Essence of Storm stays light here and mostly supports the all-purpose endgame loop rather than becoming a full second damage tree.

FAQ

Which skill should I use for leveling?+

Charged Bolts for early game leveling and solo bossing. Switch to Storm Cloud in mid-game for excellent AoE map clearing.

How important are resistances for this build?+

Critical. The build is very fragile — secure All Resistance caps before pushing damage. Farm 25% All Res items from auction house for 500 gold early.

When does the power spike happen?+

Level 40 with augments is the major spike. Lightning Surge (endgame) replaces Storm Cloud once you have full gear.

Is Lost Dimension or Defender's Justice better for the shield?+

Lost Dimension runeword on high FCR base for DPS. Defender's Justice is a viable defensive option.
