After playing for a while with Dual Wield Ceno’s Zenith’s Skirmisher (Zenith is really Cool 
), it has nice synergies between Aether and Lightning.
Champion is Awesome ! (Very nice concept Ceno, I like the skills that increase your health pool when our HP is running low - remind me to Sacred 2 Inquisitor’s Purifying Chastisement, the lower your health, the damage getting bigger)
It looks interesting if we have new Grim Dawn mastery with skills like that. As an example, skills that increase Armor and DA if we getting more hit from enemies
Back to the topic, in this build we make use of nice synergy between Aether and Lightning in devotion constellations. Aether damage we get from Physical to Aether conversion with dual Mindwarp, and Lightning damage from Shaman and Devotion skills.
Now Mindwarp has 100% up time when attack, converting physical to aether. It’s not 100% physical to aether conversion like the old one (I used to play Dual Wield Cadence Aether/Physical Witchblade with old Mindwarp). So we need 2 mindwarps for getting more aether. Also Wrathstone component adding up the conversion.
Since Aether - Lightning has good synergies in Devotion, so Warder with Lightning Support is nice choice to go.
For Aether focus build, we go to Dual Wield Battlemage or may be Witchblade with Chaos to Aether Conversion.
Different from Lightning Elementalist, Trickster, or Warder that use Savagery as main attack, this time I use Cadence with Deadly Momentum as source of Physical damage for Aether conversion.
Aether Conversion :
- Mindwarp has around 15% Physical Damage converted to Aether Damage (Mine 17%)
- Mindwarp procs : 18% Physical Damage converted to Aether Damage (100% Chance on Attack)
- Wrathstone : 10% Physical Damage converted to Aether Damage
So with double Mindwarp with Wrathstone component , we’ll get :
(15 + 18 + 10) * 2 = 86% Physical Damage converted to Aether Damage
In this build, I only use one Wrathstone on weapons, so the conversion is less than 86%
Offensive Setup
These setups using no MI’s, have more OA and DA than the previous ones.
The Exalted Treads can be crafted at BS, if you have better luck, you may get the better one. Mine only Stonehide Exalted Tread.
Chausses of Barbaros can be subtituted with Stormcage Legguards.
For Offensive one, we use Elemental Storm and bound it to Storm Totem (Nice AoE damage)

*Note :
If you want to use Wind Devil - Raging Tempest, don’t take the Elemental Storm, since the RR doesn’t stack (GD RR Sheet)
