I recently cooked up a HC caster lightning conjurer using doom bolt that I really enjoyed playing. It’s the strongest and smoothest gameplay of my self-made builds. The cadence of dropping totems, a short cooldown on doom bolt with high crit chance, etc. all feel solid.
…Unfortunately, I also died to the aetherial nemesis while farming for a Storm Herald upgrade
The devotions are shamelessly copied from @S.E.P_Ralf’s recent lightning caster Druid, which shares a lot of overlap in gameplay, but I’m not sure if there are further optimizations I could make?
The first thing I would do is take 15 points out of wind devils. Their 1st node damage doesn’t stack so more than 1 point is pretty worthless. I would put those points into the occultist bar for more stats and also I would max out mogdrogen’s pact.
i’ll try to get more DA, and i agree with @fizzo_man , those points on wind devils first node are kinda useless.
It’s a good idea maxing out mogdrogen’s pact (maybe some on wendigo totem and oak skin too, since we don’t have maiven’s sphere and mirror of ereoctes here)
And valdaran became a real asshole with all the buffs he received on latest patches, i won’t stay near him unless i’m with a real tank with high overcapped resists and nice health regen
valde doesnt’ shred resist so high overcaps does absolutely nothing for safety against him there
pay attention to his buff icon (skull icon lightning fx over his head), that’s when his mad queen aura begins, move away or pop a cluster if don’t have nulli or other absorb and it’s done
*besides more DA and regen, i’d also suggest you get some DR @bernerd since you have low amount of active skills you could potentially even consider using v3 Korvan switftness rune if necessary
