Well wudi I mistakenly 3x masterwork crit conjuration mastery on my amulet, following the old guide before it was updated… so I’m trying to fix that. Basic materials are a bottle neck. Rawhide and iron chunks are more scarce than neath iron this season.
trying to kill uber lilith for the very first time :P made it into phase 2 a couple of times now. It feels the waves in phase 1 are harder to dodge now compared to your guide from a year ago. (i only picked up the game recently again)
Currently on Holiday in austria. Started my Bone Spirit to melt tournment bosses and farm mystics. Then i start source with Lightning and just before season 6 comes maybe andriel barrage
tried ww barb, lightning spear sorc, doom storm druid, and now I’m trying rogue out, didn’t like rapid fire ( I hate combo points I learned ) gonna switch to either Andy barrage or heartseeker next!
Hey man just as like a pointer, this build does have 100% crit, the boots scale with movement conjurations give movement speed as well as put one point into the crackling energy gains movement speed. Just pointing thst out
You are correct and incorrect at the same time. The boots, as Wudi mentions, give 40% crit, either by evading or due to conjuration stacks. Its does NOT get higher than 40% as movement speed is capped at 200. The build still has 100% crit as Lightning spear itself has an inherit +15% crit chance in the skill.
When is the maxroll tier list getting updated? It still lists lightning spear as basicalyl being next to fireball and some other builds, which I don't think is true
This is why you shouldn’t use maxroll “tier list“ until they get more people helping. A week before a season they spend time guessing. Then they don’t update anything because they are all busy playing
I’m using 1h version, the extra cooldown from the focus lets me achieve permanent lightning spear cast without having to use orb. Instead of an extra aspect I’m using fist of fate, the extra lucky hit crit rate and attack speed makes the entire build run super smoothly.
@@TheAmbigatus yeah it’s a trade off. I get 10-15 more stacks of conjuration mastery on average using a 1 hander, and my crit rate is maxed and I have 100% uptime on unstable currents. More of a smoother game play loop. Can just hold down right mouse with lightning spear which saves my hands. It now plays identical to Andy barrage rogue, where I have barrage on right mouse button too.
Not sure how it compares with top end gear, but I am running frozen orb setup with meh gear, and I found that dropping Unstable currents, which didn't do hardly anything for me, and putting Ice blades on my skill bar freed up 3 skill points, and was much more effective. Gave me more active conjurations, and the extra ice blades summons makes everything else cooldown faster
You do get 100% crit chance for your lightning spears when you add in the 15% crit chance from enhanced lightning spear though. Sure, this crit chance does not apply to the damage of splintering energy aspect, but at least you can trigger the damage with 100% crit chance.
Obviously with the boots. I was referring to the part at 8:30 where wudijo said that the splintering energy aspect will only deal damage when you crit, and that it's not possible to get 100% crit chance with the frozen orb variant with the winterglass variant even with the boots. Here wudijo didn't account the 15% from enhanced lightning spear, with which you do get 100% crit chance for your lightning spears, thus activating splintering energy on every hit. Btw. you don't need to dash with Esu to get the benefit since you will have maxed movement speed already from the Conjuration Mastery passive.
I heard that int doesn't scale the LS aspect damage. If that's true, couldn't you get more damage from having roll off int on gear? As long as you meet paragon requirements...
Different versions that dont require Mythic. Is extremly helpful, I have Very bad luck . And cannot do Torment Boss. Never gotten a Mythic of any kind for any class
I have a 100 lightening spear sorc and 100 rogue. What uber item should I craft first with 4 sparks? Tyrials Might? I don't have any ubers yet for them.
Doing my best. I can solo the uber bosses. But ive ran so man without a mythic drop. Still cant beat uber lolith. I can get her to death percent. But ineventually die during her final attacks
Man, I redid my amulet masterwork yesterday to triple hit conjuration mastery, and I ended up making the build function worse compared to when I had 2x conjuration cd and 1x mastery. Wasted all that neath and gold for nothing 😢
@@TheMonoxide27 maxroll endgame guide, only really optimized gear was my gloves and staff, gloves were 6 percent loss and staff was max roll at 90. Have since gotten a 0 percent loss roll and a tyraels, it does pretty good still trying to find a better amulet and a better tal Rashas ring but it killed Lilith on my maybe 4th try
I'd say conj mastery when you get the Fractured Winterglass rolled high enough, frozen orb makes lightning spear come off cool down so fast, plus you eventually get Shako for 20% CDR aswell Use Fists of Fate too for raw damage over the Storm swell apsect
Between Shake and Tyrel’s, if you’re not a fortunate person to get one to drop normally, would it be recommended to craft one over the other when able, or wait til one drops and then craft the other?
I have tried several variations of this spec and i am wondering on this: the build has awesome AOE, standard gear without too many mods can clear 110 pit mobs. But boss (single target elite) damage is trash. I can clear all mobs in 110 pit in under 3 minutes then enter boss fight and just die or take over 30 minutes to down it. What can be done to balance this spec towards single target damage? Or is it exclusively an AOE setup and thats it? Or is required that when one reaches this level to spend billions of gold and hours of detailed respeccing just to be able to down a single elite or boss over 99 pit level? Any ideas?
same situation, i think the cannon skill low is the problem. Yes Tyreal give you immortality, but with a +7\\8 armor on cannon you have nearly no problem.
Hi wudi quick question is it good to wear tyrael instead of the aspect on the chest which gives ice armor unstoppable for better tibault uptimes? Ty you rock keep on blasting
@@christopherkappenman6435 ok good to know I got one but didn't make the swap yet cuz the aspect is pretty good gives 25% dr as well and good unstoppable and tibault uptimes
@@LuNeCxX if you are good about using your cooldowns with this build you can save unstoppable for an oh shit button and that's about the only time you need it. I've found the constant spamming of lightning spear gives me infinite shield that I don't die so unstoppable is more of an oh shit not really to get me out of stun
Tyraels works so well because it gives the dr, max resist, but also move speed as well which translates into crit rate. Just try to get the masterworks to land some combination of dr or max resist.
I ended up using 1h and focus to allow more flexibility on cdr. You lose some damage but you can get 60% cdr with only 2 masterwork crits on cdr , and you have room for another aspect like shredding blades or conceited to help you make back some dps loss. Ga focus with crit rate or cdr are very cheap. 100-300m. I’ve also been using fist of fates, it gives so much lucky hit that your lightning spears will basically always cast orbs, and you completely drop orbs from the bar. I just hold down lightning spear and it has 0 cooldown, I don’t even see a number on it anymore as long as there are 20 conjurations up. Sorry for the long winded reply. I guess my point is, try to do the best with the gear you have. In my case, I made it work going with a 1 hander. My goal was to stop using frozen orb completely lol.
Mostly for cooldown reduction. When you have fractured winterglass on your frozen orbs can reduce the cooldown of your conjurations. And lightning spears can also throw frozen orbs with the amulet
Controller. Really. You assign Frozen Orb and Lighting Spear to X and A, and just hold them. It keep casting Frozen Orb, and when Lightning Spear is off cooldown it immediately cast it. I don't have controller for my PC, that's why I prefer playing this build on my Steam Deck.
Hold down your key rather than slamming them. On a controller you can hold down R1 and R2 for Lightning Spear and unstable currents and then just tap your cooldowns as needed. On keyboard I was only able to hold down one skill and have it trigger.
If you're struggling. Try changing the setting in accessibility (I could be wrong about where it's located in settings) that says something about how your skills activate. You have the option to click and hold (default) or click to toggle the skill on or off. Much easier to just click it once and it'll do it by itself
Guys.. he is playing hardcore. So this build is not optimal for pushing high pit and maks damage etc. Don't use this if you're not on hc. Raiment chest, tibaults pants, fists of fate for farming. Then there is another very high pit build that mekuna used for his 150 pit. I like wudi, bit reading the comments, alot of his viewers are a bit clueless.

I swapped flame shield for ice blades and my cool down on lightning spear went way way down. I cast ice blades then lightning spear and one frozen orb and lightning spears ready again already
To add to what others have said, the movement speed when evading will have 100% uptime so you'll be able to get 40% even without conjuration mastery rolling.
I have all the required uniques(.3 winterglass), all masterworks to rank 4 on recommended stats, and my build feels like ass even just doing rank 5 hoardes. Frozen orb is my damage dealer.
The armor might be fixed with good mw, but I had to drop Tibaults because I needed the armor cap, still easily clearing t6 Hordes, haven’t tried a 7 yet.
@wudijo Hey I just started my mage im at lvl59 I got the inferno dagger unique and the frozen orb necklace that buffs Hydras dont know there names but Im having a blast with it Have u tried that combo I cant find a build so im creation my own but its sooo fun for me to experiment!
You may have answered this! But does stacking Vulnerable damage help? Thanks! I have 1500% Crit damage and 700% Vulnerable damage. Should i just go full crit damage?
Both of those previous replies are completely wrong. Each individuals build is gonna power scale differently depending on your gear and stats. But at some point crit damage will not do as much as adding additive damage stats. This number is unknown, but can be found out to each particular setup by doing a little math. But just stacking one multiplicative damage boost will eventually lose it potency due to how damage buckets work together. I believe last season vulnerable damage would eventually add less damage than an additive stat once you had x amount. I think once you hit around 2k vulnerable damage actually adding an additive was better. This will vary from person to person. Wudi and Lucky Luciano made a video about this.
@@CloudK23 er, no, my reply was not "completely wrong". I was talking about specifically this build showcased in the video, which is lightning spear for sorcerer. Vulnerable damage is not important for this *specific* build on which this video is focusing, hence my reply was correct: You'll want to stack crit damage for this build. Look at any build planner for lightning spear sorc and try to spot a single item or temper which shows vulnerable damage as the optimal choice - you won't find one, because it's less useful than crit damage for the way this spec scales. If you were talking about general D4 terms, then yes, various other builds do value vulnerable damage over crit until a certain breakpoint is reached. For example, heartseeker rogue stacked vulnerable damage last season, because that scaled off of the Victimise key passive.
@little_fluffy_clouds if you reply "I'm right" then why ask? And, you didn't read what wrote or understand or else you wouldn't of replied as such, literally restating the fact that it was generalized. Did i anywhere stat or say lightning spear, no. My statements were quite general and non-specific to class or build. I literally was talking about damage stats and how they dropoff, much has to do with your buckets. Why not read before dismissing and refuting everything I said?
Just for note, you'll get more damage removing tal rasha for starless, do not remove the legend ring. Also going 1 handed and adding damage with barrier is roughly the same damage output but quicker
I'm playing Fireball Sorc atm and I use Lightning Spear as an activator and I have almost no aspects or anything that buffs Lightning Spear and yet it's doing almost as much damage as Fireball (with both FB uniques). I'm pretty sure Lightning Spear is bugged or something, if it's nearly able to kill packs of monsters before I even aim a single Fireball at them.
I have a Shako, my winterglass is laughable. I've yet to find a half-descent FoFate so instead, I've opted for gloves with crit dam. I'm north of 1800% crit damage. I would say my boss damage isn't terrible by any means. T-duriel under 10-sec (unless I miss it and he burrows). T-grigore/zir/varshan under 5-sec. Blood maidens under 2-sec. T8 council clear in about a minute. 🤷♀ I've got a lot of room to min/max still. I can use a much better staff, better winterglass, find a usable FoFate, better Esu's heirloom. Better rings. Seems like I've still got quite a ways to go before I reach the ceiling on this. (which is fun, but also scary)
Dont say it works well and showcasing a 200h rmt build. Ppl dont have cd shako with 4 masterworks as well as ring. Just showcase without stars and 4 masterworks. We dont play 24/7 and have viewers that help summon.
You can play this build without mythics and it still does an insane DMG. It's not a leveling build. You just need to be lvl 100 before you switch to it. There are plenty of guides besides the maxroll one that covers non-mythics version of the build.
Man, this season is the easiest ever... I'm a 33-year-old new father with a 4-month-old that I spend a lot of time with, and I still have a ga tyraels might and a double masterworked Shako. It's not hard, stop crying. Put in a little bit of time and you'll see
I played 50h solo and got 1 tyraels solo. Yesterday I got a shaco from just 3 group runs. It allready worked well before, but the shaco makes it next level. Even have 2 masterworking on the CDR and only had to reroll once.. This build is not a starter build indeed, but it is obtainable for sure. I can easily clear T7 now and can complete masterworking now. This build kicks ass and if you have the necklace and some cdr and mana per second rolls you can start building it. Raxx has a nice guide on it too with steps on how to progress through the builds.
@@Tim_593 the standard CL is. Andariel's CL (which I haven't seen build guides for so I'm making one) is unkillable and is better single target DPS than LS, slightly worse in group boss and the same in mob clear
Nice you disabled damage numbers, Blizzard should just disable them all together. They mean nothing, just clutter the screen and have no in game purpose.
@@darkinsanity98473 nope. Numbers are so big they become irrelevant. Nobody cares if your skills do 80 billion or 100 billion damage, numbers do mean anything. Health bar is your only proper visual feedback of your damage and how your power grows.

Probably Tyreals Might uber unique chest piece. Think its still uber unique or mythic unique.
I like the part where he said "brbrllrlrbrlrbrlrrlrlb"
theres so many damn lightning spear builds, im so confused as to which one is best
8:57 The boots give 40% of your movementspeed bonus as crit chance. So in this case they add ~10% crit chance. Still a great video!
It’s flat 40% crit chance in combat. Conjuration mastery gives this build 100% bonus speed in combat. 100% bonus speed = 40% crit. Only 10% crit in city.
@@easymodegaming7334 wow i didn't know that. ty for the info :)
To add to what others have said, the movement speed when evading will have 100% uptime so you'll be able to get 40% even without conjuration mastery rolling.
I have all the required uniques(.3 winterglass), all masterworks to rank 4 on recommended stats, and my build feels like ass even just doing rank 5 hoardes. Frozen orb is my damage dealer.
😂😂😂
frozen orb? seriously?
@wudijo how do you get capped armor in this setup? I have everything except a shaco, but my armor isn’t capped.( including the skulls)
The armor might be fixed with good mw, but I had to drop Tibaults because I needed the armor cap, still easily clearing t6 Hordes, haven’t tried a 7 yet.
Shako gives 3500 armor which is enough to reach the cap, especially when masterworked
@@little_fluffy_clouds nice point.
without shako you need an armor roll on an armor piece and MW it up to 12/12.
@wudijo
Hey I just started my mage im at lvl59 I got the inferno dagger unique and the frozen orb necklace that buffs Hydras dont know there names but Im having a blast with it Have u tried that combo I cant find a build so im creation my own but its sooo fun for me to experiment!
the neck doesnt really buff the hydras too much
@@trevorburns6884 yeah but im buffed them more with paragon board its fun to me
You may have answered this! But does stacking Vulnerable damage help? Thanks! I have 1500% Crit damage and 700% Vulnerable damage. Should i just go full crit damage?
Stacking crit damage is better because it scales with your crit chance, although some vulnerable damage doesn’t hurt at all
Both of those previous replies are completely wrong. Each individuals build is gonna power scale differently depending on your gear and stats. But at some point crit damage will not do as much as adding additive damage stats. This number is unknown, but can be found out to each particular setup by doing a little math. But just stacking one multiplicative damage boost will eventually lose it potency due to how damage buckets work together.
I believe last season vulnerable damage would eventually add less damage than an additive stat once you had x amount. I think once you hit around 2k vulnerable damage actually adding an additive was better. This will vary from person to person. Wudi and Lucky Luciano made a video about this.
😮
@@CloudK23 er, no, my reply was not "completely wrong". I was talking about specifically this build showcased in the video, which is lightning spear for sorcerer. Vulnerable damage is not important for this *specific* build on which this video is focusing, hence my reply was correct: You'll want to stack crit damage for this build. Look at any build planner for lightning spear sorc and try to spot a single item or temper which shows vulnerable damage as the optimal choice - you won't find one, because it's less useful than crit damage for the way this spec scales.
If you were talking about general D4 terms, then yes, various other builds do value vulnerable damage over crit until a certain breakpoint is reached. For example, heartseeker rogue stacked vulnerable damage last season, because that scaled off of the Victimise key passive.
@little_fluffy_clouds if you reply "I'm right" then why ask? And, you didn't read what wrote or understand or else you wouldn't of replied as such, literally restating the fact that it was generalized. Did i anywhere stat or say lightning spear, no. My statements were quite general and non-specific to class or build. I literally was talking about damage stats and how they dropoff, much has to do with your buckets. Why not read before dismissing and refuting everything I said?
Just for note, you'll get more damage removing tal rasha for starless, do not remove the legend ring. Also going 1 handed and adding damage with barrier is roughly the same damage output but quicker
I'm playing Fireball Sorc atm and I use Lightning Spear as an activator and I have almost no aspects or anything that buffs Lightning Spear and yet it's doing almost as much damage as Fireball (with both FB uniques). I'm pretty sure Lightning Spear is bugged or something, if it's nearly able to kill packs of monsters before I even aim a single Fireball at them.
All the streamers are saying that LS got nerfed by the devs now.
If it did it doesn't feel that way to play. Still hitting T7s with zero issues
Why does it look like you have an Artillery Shrine??
the mythic chest
I been running this and its fucking insane. 😅
Guys.. go look at mekunas build. He has the best builds for farming, and pit push. Now uses raiment etc
playing fireball myself and damn i am deleting maps xd
My winterglass is shit and i don't have a shako. Beware you will kill everything but your boss damage will be shit.
I have a Shako, my winterglass is laughable. I've yet to find a half-descent FoFate so instead, I've opted for gloves with crit dam. I'm north of 1800% crit damage. I would say my boss damage isn't terrible by any means. T-duriel under 10-sec (unless I miss it and he burrows). T-grigore/zir/varshan under 5-sec. Blood maidens under 2-sec. T8 council clear in about a minute. 🤷♀
I've got a lot of room to min/max still. I can use a much better staff, better winterglass, find a usable FoFate, better Esu's heirloom. Better rings. Seems like I've still got quite a ways to go before I reach the ceiling on this. (which is fun, but also scary)
How many times can you actually stack lightning spear ? I was thinking you can have only one at a time.
You can have a ton of them flying around
@@1treyton1 Yeah I realised it when I started getting the cdr going. Before that was really hard to tell.
😂😂😂
What's funny about the starter is I found a Shako before I found a CDR off hand.
Dont say it works well and showcasing a 200h rmt build. Ppl dont have cd shako with 4 masterworks as well as ring. Just showcase without stars and 4 masterworks. We dont play 24/7 and have viewers that help summon.
You can play this build without mythics and it still does an insane DMG. It's not a leveling build. You just need to be lvl 100 before you switch to it. There are plenty of guides besides the maxroll one that covers non-mythics version of the build.
Man, this season is the easiest ever... I'm a 33-year-old new father with a 4-month-old that I spend a lot of time with, and I still have a ga tyraels might and a double masterworked Shako. It's not hard, stop crying. Put in a little bit of time and you'll see
I played 50h solo and got 1 tyraels solo. Yesterday I got a shaco from just 3 group runs. It allready worked well before, but the shaco makes it next level. Even have 2 masterworking on the CDR and only had to reroll once..
This build is not a starter build indeed, but it is obtainable for sure.
I can easily clear T7 now and can complete masterworking now.
This build kicks ass and if you have the necklace and some cdr and mana per second rolls you can start building it.
Raxx has a nice guide on it too with steps on how to progress through the builds.
if you actually see the video it has different sections of the build. starter/leveling/endgame. You don't need mythics to play it nor 4* mw
My friend uses this build and doesn’t have a single mythic, and no masterworks yet. It clears Tier5 and Tier6 easy. We play 1-2 hours a day.
EVERYONE running SAME build EVERYTIME 😂😂😂🤦♂️
Do these diablo 4 streamers ever go sleep? Legit question. Seriously!? 😂
Well, seriously, a lot of them making a living doing this. Comapre it to an passion athlete that continually works on their game.
Why aren't the lightning spear ranks adding any damage?
the splintering aspect is where its damage is coming from
My Andariel's CL Sorc is performing at the same level, without any resource issue and it can't be killed.
CL does way less damage and is more squishy, I switched to Lightning Spear and its way better
@@Tim_593 the standard CL is. Andariel's CL (which I haven't seen build guides for so I'm making one) is unkillable and is better single target DPS than LS, slightly worse in group boss and the same in mob clear
I followed Northwar build and I barely see any crackling energy balls.
Don't use nortwar. Mekuna has the best builds. Rob has good items/other items, with mekunas skill and mastery board.
Is this build new? 😂
I just heard this got nerfed
They just ruined this build with a hotfix
This is a frozen orb build not lightning spear. 😂
The ultimate pay to win build.
Nice you disabled damage numbers, Blizzard should just disable them all together. They mean nothing, just clutter the screen and have no in game purpose.
Lame opinion, some people like to see them go up as you get stronger.
@@darkinsanity98473 nope. Numbers are so big they become irrelevant. Nobody cares if your skills do 80 billion or 100 billion damage, numbers do mean anything. Health bar is your only proper visual feedback of your damage and how your power grows.
@@turakaisenvideot Incorrect, but go ahead and keep assuming you know how everyone feels about it.
I would thought that by now you'd give up these cringe thumbnails...
This Guide is too late. Season is already up for a week, and upload only now ? Whole server already has fully geared lvl 100
who asked
The guide isn't too late. People are still working out the builds , I myself keep changing as I have so much gear in the bank and wanna try cool new stuff.
Wudi , what is your opinion on the infinite chain lightning build on" Rage gaming videos " channel ?
bro forgot about employed people
you know alts exist right?
lol not everyone played sorc. Not everyone is full gear. Not everyone starts day one.
