I'm glad I found your channel. Dint find you on youtube but somebody referred you for legit league starters. Your pob and guide is clear as glass as though you are speaking through my heart!! I'm definitely gonna choose one of your builds this time!!!
you got me there when u said 'wait thers a catch'. love the transparency and the way how u explain stuff in a practical sense. most people dont do that. hope you never change like most. subbed!
im one of those who tried this build last league and i can say that it was one of the best league starts ive had since years! im glad youve put more info about the build with a few changes i can notice. but i really wish you made the guide for the crit version as well ..
So glad I found you dude. I really want to play a lightning build and I found no starter guides on it. Despite this only being my 2nd real league I was going to attempt to do it on my own but now I has you 😊 will be following.
Thank you Soro. This is my 3rd league in PoE and I always quit in the first week due to being "bait" (it's my fault for not doing my research). However, with the clear examples you have provided with this build and the hiest farming, I am enjoying it so far. Thank you soo much
Isn't it somewhat of a waste to have so much Energy Shield that is only used as a mana-pool due to Eldritch Battery, when the mana spending of skills is not that high? Wouldn't it be better to focus on armour&evasion mostly and only have around ~100-200 Energy Shield to have barely enough mana for skills?
Oh wow, what a nice build and very easily explained. Almost soothing :) Thanks for your effort and bery happy to say that I use Lightning Tendrils for leveling. It is really underrated
Like/sub. Ive been working a LC starter for the last couple of days applying shock with shock nova mines (works by itself for map clear). Good call-outs on gear and skill synergy.
This build is awesome. Lightning Tendrils was very satisfying to play. Switching to LC I felt instantly powerful. Get a Valako's Sign as soon as you hit 38. Lightning Conduit only hits shocked enemies so the boost to shock chance, lightning damage, leech, mana, etc is huge at that level. Once you get Eldritch Battery around Act 4/5 it becomes a walk in the park. I also had bad gear all the way to 60. Just use some lightning essences on some wands or find decent lightning wands, look for jewelry with resistances, then I ignored stats for everything else and looked for sockets. My gear and resistances were terrible but I still blazed through the Acts even with this difficult season mechanic.
Thanks for the update. I enjoy playing LC...don't mind the two button playstyle. I throw Orb of Storms on my spacebar and it works for me. Damage looks impressive making leveling a first character easier on soft core. Would likely switch to Archmage once I can farm up some more gear and currency.
I'm using this for a league starter in 3.25. First impression is that its a bit clunky and VERY squishy. Even during the campaign I was dying a lot. Normally, I can do just fine with a few essences and some decent gear from the vendor but in this case I had to spend a few Cs to get decent gear because the build is very gear dependent. You're getting decent portion of spell suppression after level 90, so until then you're very reliant on gear. Text book glass cannon. I had to make a few changes to make it more enjoyable. 1. Dropped a few damage nodes as they're not really necessary prolly until red maps. Damage is VERY good. 2. Took Mind over Matter alongside Eldrich Battery 3. Switched Herald of Thunder for Grace and added an extra ES, Life and Mana Regen nodes while ditching the curses nodes. 4. Added Increased AoE to Orbs Of Storms so it shocks larger groups 5. Added low level CWDT with Arc for extra shocking - sometimes OoS would not cast and it would take me a second or two of spamming LC to realize it does nothing. So, the Arc acts as an extra layer of protection. I will likely remove MoM and add Wrath for the end game and respec, if need to. But so far, it works much better. Still, I would probably not go for this as a league starter again. Otherwise, the insane damage is really fun.
I was thinking of doing this build; I figured that with all the changes that Lightning Conduit Elementalist would be strong and was just waiting for someone to present the build whom I'd trust to do it well. BUT I was never sure it would be strong enough to progress past just unlocking everything or being able to down bosses quickly and of course lightening annulment/immunity to shock. Back in 3.19 to 3.21 the sleeper builds were all frost elemental damge, because of the unusually high droprate of cold based mods on rare gear back then combined with GGG never nerfing cold. But in 2.22 GGG changed itemisation seeding so cold damage no longer overdropped, buffed brands and corpse explotion, so suddenly firebrand corpse explotion and explosive trap shieldcharge became a thing. But in 2.23 Lightning Conduit got buffed and 2.24 only made it stronger; Hopefully most won't catch on so the uniques and rares stay cheap for a while.
that gem seriously requires some buffs. its just low in damage numbers. the regular gem is way more powerful because of the way how it largely scales with shock effect.
Thanks for the build mate. Currently deciding between this or armageddon brand for my starter. I wanted to ask how tanky you could get this build with some investment as i have a tendency of beeing very bad at dodging...
would suggest not doing a build which was not tested if youre not experienced with the game. i tried arma brand with flameblast when GGG buffed ignite in one league (they later nerfed it), but it was pretty okay.. LC is a fun build and one of the best choices even for newer players. if you kill stuff before they hit you its the best defence
Hey thanks for the great guide. I'm not talking about a league starter but is there chance you make a transfigured version of lc. I did lc last league and I'm starting with your lc this league but I liked the version which I dont need to shock them to use lc.
@@soropoe I haven’t ran any numbers, but my first thought was subbing the transfigured version in for invitations and bosses where it can be difficult to shock consistently. I haven’t pursued the idea yet because the -2 radius of the transfigured version means you can’t reliably hit everything in invitations anyway
Great channel dude! Your build is awesome for a first time player like myself. Let me ask you, do you think Stormseeker Ambush Mitts increase shock effects on Lighnting Conduit skill being that the skill is supported by energy leech support?
Looks great man, thanks for the work! But just a tip: Try to show some gameplay of the build showing map level and mods, and if possible a brief gear/tree showcase before entering it. You could easily be playing a t1 map on a 5 mirror build and we would never know it :')
sorry about that. i dont press tab during recording because of the screen clutter (a lot of people have complained in the past).. this is why i showcase builds in Guardian maps (t16+)
I have a question. On your POB on the Whisper of Doom Node you chose to get Area of Effect small nodes while some people prefer cast speed. However we apply curse with arcanist brand so why do we care about area of effect or cast speed ? What about duration then ?
Gonna do this build, what content do you recommend to start farm early? boss rushing cause of the dmg output ? and with the crit version do you think it can safely farm tier 17s(they are unmodifiable) ? tbh i just wanna have fun.
Question: I can see that LC has a nice AOE radius. Orb of storms though kinda restricts the radius being smaller. Is the "near the orb" text good enough to match LC radius? If not exactly is it sane to say that maybe another skill that can cover this extra area to apply shocks, would be better?
shock nova has theoritically more aoe and max shock effect.. but you have to keep using 2 buttons to reshock.. whereas for orb of storms and storm brand, you only need to cast once at a location..
Hi @Soro, played with this build as a starter, it was pretty good. Today changed to the crit version, and maybe I am doing something wrong, but now I am dying sometimes even from a white mob on T16 maps,, not even talking about T17. The only difference is that I'm not using the second cluster tree, but it doesn't matter in terms of survivability. So wondering if the crit version from 3.23 is still valid for 3.24
@@soropoe Thank you for your response! I'm definitely keen to try this for my league start. Could I just ask, any reason you paired LC with orb of storms instead of storm brand?
I know it's been a month since leaguestart, but I hope you can answer my question: All the LC builds on poe.ninja that uses Doryan'is Prototype. They are mostly bosskillers? Could This chest be used in your version, or is Inpulsa optimal (for all-round content, and T17's (is that even possible with LC))?
no.. dont use it in this build. doryani builds are different.. the downside is, you get insta killed by mana siphoners, maven's lazer circles and other lightning damage over time stuff..
Im thinking about to use this starter but what is with a real endgame version? I seen some videos with a mana stacking version what do you thinking about it? Do you think this going to out perform hexblast mines?
hexblast mines is purely for extreme bossing. its really bad at mapping. for a league starter you should look for hybrid builds or heist/lab builds. il be adding the crit version pob soon
@@soropoe ok then i start with it in SSF. :) i mean the items look not so complicated we have 3-4 months time so .. all good and we become SOOOOOOOO MUCH currency this time so i think it's viable enough to become 100. ^^
Have another question here, did you mean to keep in Arcane Surge for after you get Eldritch Battery or is that an error? I don't believe you can proc it without spending mana. Am I missing something?
Can I ask, how does this build perform in later stages ? Lets say mid juice farming and some bosses, its doable or it will be a bit of pain ? Starting this league with not much time avaible so Iam searching for some good offmeta leaguestart.
can do everything in t16 maps if you follow the build guide. if you wanna farm pinnacle/t17 maps you might have to upgrade to my crit version. il add it soon
@@soropoe Cuz Im in between of starting ur lc or bleed bow, cant really decide which one is going to have smoother start with good transition into juice farming. But really glad to hear you are adding crit version, might be the point which will make me decide for your lc actually.
@@soropoe I think the bleed bow is from someone else, looked kinda nice to progress, but Im really down for your lc build, will you be making any updates trroughout the first week or some, or do you think there will be someone on youtube covering lc troughout the necropolis early exploits for this build, cuz I really think this build could be also nice as manastacker with the archmage buffs
I am doing great so far, little squeeshy, but have not been doing good at finding life items. I found a belt called worm’s molt leather belt, I am level 65, is this belt helping me, right now I can not tell if it is doing anything.
Not flaming and not sure if someone has mentioned it yet but Lightning tendies is ROUGH.. I guess its preference but if you mule pierce from ranger and take spark with added lightning it feels good.
@@soropoe That is what I was finding (the melee play style with Tendies presumably is better after the two stun resistance nodes), grabbed it as suggested and started to use it. Getting stunned every time you go to cast was the main issue for me I guess and the super low range. But I'm definitely going to give it a quick go and see how it feels! Have never done LC, would does the crit swap still have the leach etc and what would you say the damage can get to on an okay budget?
Hey nice build, started with it. With Gloves that have Lightning Exposure on Hit you can replace Wave of Conviction with Shock Nova in Arcanist Brand which enable the "Secret Hidden Meta" and scales to 85% Shock on Bosses without a problem. Sadly i cant share Pob here buts easy to config.
true after testing its only worth on rare / beyond or some strong mobs with +%HP that just need long time other. I also changed Stone Golem to Flame, with Valakos and Blood Drinker node better imho. Next Goal will be the Crit version. Smoothest League start in last 4+ Leagues tbh.
@@roonyaldo I would farm the most important Uniques + some extra currency and trans than in one go. if you dont get good amount off crit chance in transition you just loose dmg. So level in sec weapon slot the changed gems. Get Forbidden Flame+Flesh and unique weapons, amulet, boots and also the Cluster jewels maybe in a basic version first. You can also check what gear you got already and if its worth to switch now in POB. But if you got all items above ur good to go for transition.
Something I haven’t seen anyone else do is use gmp ball lightning while mapping. It turns LC into a really powerful mapping skill I use a 4-link gmp BL UA OoS Unbound Ailments applies to to both
@@roonyaldo orb of storms is used when you need to cast LC more than a couple times BL with gmp will cover the entire screen over its travel time allowing you to hit the entire screen while only using your shocking skill once This is particularly useful once your maps have high density as BL hits everything in its radius and you can actually leverage its travel time against influenced packs by moving with your BL. It’s a bit hard to explain but it boils down to needing fewer shocking casts when clearing density
Just came across this build. It's a 2 button build right? The abilities of the build seem impressive but I can't imagine myself enjoying it if I have to first place a OoS and then cast Lightning Conduit to actually kill them :/
@@soropoe sure :) Ill start with lightning conduit and its very very veryyyy good build, like my acts are smooth as hell... But im confused and corious Spell echo will be not better than cruelty?
@@soropoe @soropoe sure :) Ill start with lightning conduit and its very very veryyyy good build, like my acts are smooth as hell... But im confused and corious Spell echo will be not better than cruelty?
This time I wanted to try this build for league starter, but soon I find it more like "league later", because it's so squish or fragile, very easy to die. and it's playstyle is "2-button" not convenient for starter or beginner, even like a melee build, you get frequently be hit by monsters. I don't deny it's a very strong build, the damage is decent, but I think it's not for "starter" compare other league starter.
alright found out that the rares can't roll phys dmg taken as something else anymore, so that leaves a bit of wiggleroom for something else. This is potentially a lot more squishy than last league no?
He has an alternative, generic rare +1 lightning gem amulet in the pob. You loose some damage, but the unique is not neccesary by any means. He even mentions that exact fact @2:07 in the video
you should have watched the video where i talked about this. With concern I have to advice you, please NEVER judge or play a build without watching the video guide. NO WONDER my build guide watch time is generally much lower than other videos.

With Gloves that have Lightning Exposure on Hit you can replace Wave of Conviction with Shock Nova in Arcanist Brand which enable the "Secret Hidden Meta" and scales to 85% Shock on Bosses without a problem. Sadly i cant share Pob here buts easy to config.
i know.. but in practice you need to apply a massive shock with damage to get 85 on pinnacle bosses. arcanist brand has a less damage mod.
true after testing its only worth on rare / beyond or some strong mobs with +%HP that just need long time other. I also changed Stone Golem to Flame, with Valakos and Blood Drinker node better imho. Next Goal will be the Crit version. Smoothest League start in last 4+ Leagues tbh.
It’s only hard because dumb dumb like me don’t really know how to transition into the crit version, without a step by step guide lol
@@roonyaldo I would farm the most important Uniques + some extra currency and trans than in one go. if you dont get good amount off crit chance in transition you just loose dmg.

You can also check what gear you got already and if its worth to switch now in POB. But if you got all items above ur good to go for transition.
How do you trigger in Inspiration support, Since we use "Eldrich Battery" and have energy shield leech ?
youre right.. have updated the pob.
@@soropoedo you reply on discord???
Nice build. but shouldn't you label this a 3-button build, considering you have to constantly cast arcanist brand as well?
arcanist brand only on bosses
Something I haven’t seen anyone else do is use gmp ball lightning while mapping. It turns LC into a really powerful mapping skill
I use a 4-link gmp BL UA OoS
Unbound Ailments applies to to both
whats OoS?
@@roonyaldo orb of storms
@@seifeir6951 so you still put down orb of storms, use BL and use LC? I'm confused how you use this set up
@@roonyaldo orb of storms is used when you need to cast LC more than a couple times
BL with gmp will cover the entire screen over its travel time allowing you to hit the entire screen while only using your shocking skill once
This is particularly useful once your maps have high density as BL hits everything in its radius and you can actually leverage its travel time against influenced packs by moving with your BL. It’s a bit hard to explain but it boils down to needing fewer shocking casts when clearing density
@@seifeir6951 this set up feels really nice, thanks :D
Just came across this build. It's a 2 button build right? The abilities of the build seem impressive but I can't imagine myself enjoying it if I have to first place a OoS and then cast Lightning Conduit to actually kill them :/
still worth the massive damage though
No doubt conduit is powerful. Its just that it requiring another skill to provide shock is a major deterrent to some players.
Lightning Conduit and storm brand were born togeter.
lol !!
could you explain how to Scale this build even more?
upgrade to my crit version. pob from my 3.23 guide
which build will be better.... This one or ea ballista ele... To start now and try to make some currency heeeelp[
both are great. if you are bad at the game, totem playstyle is better way to start
@@soropoe okay, and nexty question is, can i using frostblink of wintry blast on explosives arrow? To have 100% movement pottential?
@@raw_bigboy yes. but that one requires a decent cast speed
@@soropoe sure :) Ill start with lightning conduit and its very very veryyyy good build, like my acts are smooth as hell... But im confused and corious Spell echo will be not better than cruelty?
@@soropoe @soropoe sure :) Ill start with lightning conduit and its very very veryyyy good build, like my acts are smooth as hell... But im confused and corious Spell echo will be not better than cruelty?
Do you have a higher budget version? 6Mil DPS is great to start with, but how do you invest more in it?
upgrade to my crit version. will add it into the pob
why is inspiration in the 6 link setup?
can use cruelty instead, but no difference in damage. our options are tight here.
I don't get it... Arcane Surge does not work with Eldritch Battery...
check the updated pob. it was removed the day before.. Arcane surge requires you to spend mana
This time I wanted to try this build for league starter, but soon I find it more like "league later", because it's so squish or fragile, very easy to die. and it's playstyle is "2-button" not convenient for starter or beginner, even like a melee build, you get frequently be hit by monsters. I don't deny it's a very strong build, the damage is decent, but I think it's not for "starter" compare other league starter.
es buena build para santunc ?
No. no es la construcción adecuada para sanctum
I tired to level with this maybe I’m missing something but lighting trenreal just got me killed
how do I craft the rares?
alright found out that the rares can't roll phys dmg taken as something else anymore, so that leaves a bit of wiggleroom for something else. This is potentially a lot more squishy than last league no?
LT so bad for lvling, better do rolling magma and buy orb + lighting dmg at 2 slot weapon for passive lvling and run to lab then change to conduit
the setup i have in my guide is even great for single target. its actually a preference and close combat (melee like) issue basically
melee its a problem and problem you should stay at one place at start witch fast die)@@soropoe
I have to agree with you. I played about an hour right now at league start and I don't like the feel/playstyle of lightening tendrils...
Obligatory "Is this SSF viable? question
no sir. its not :(
Huh? SSFer here, this is a great ssf build.. no build enabling uniques required, high inherent mechanical power.
Honestly bro, Voice of a storm day 1 is unrealistic at another level, I can't in good faith recommend this build to anyone.
He has an alternative, generic rare +1 lightning gem amulet in the pob. You loose some damage, but the unique is not neccesary by any means.
He even mentions that exact fact @2:07 in the video
you should have watched the video where i talked about this. With concern I have to advice you, please NEVER judge or play a build without watching the video guide. NO WONDER my build guide watch time is generally much lower than other videos.
