Build Guide

• Mechanic: It creates a stationary electrical orb that strikes enemies within its area.
• Triggering: Like the base version, it typically zaps enemies when you cast other Lightning spells within its radius, making it a staple for "two-button" lightning builds or as a utility tool for applying Shocks.
• Support Compatibility: It can be linked with various support gems to improve its clearing capability (e.g., Chain Support) or damage (e.g., Added Lightning Damage).
• Build Archetypes: Often paired with skills like Lightning Conduit to guarantee shocks or used during leveling with spells like Spark for efficient pack clearing.
