POB only works on desktop client, web one doesn't have skills for some reason.

This was originally a BV/EK Stormwall into Fulcrum full conversion build, but then they removed Stormwall so I had to change plans or be left without being able to league start. This is now a Lightning Conduit Agnerod into Fulcrum build that uses BV with Shaper of Storms to shock everyone 7.5 times a second, and Lightning Conduit to deal damage (6.8m DPS). It scales non-damaging ailments effect to make the minimum shock(+chill from Shaper of Winter) effect pretty close to the maximum shock+chill. If anybody has any tips for improvement (this is my first build), please share your thoughts! Thank you

Pros:

- High cast & movement speed from self-chill

- A 1.5-ish button build. You only press Lightning Chain constantly, but have to remember to keep up BV stacks every few seconds

- 98% flask uptime from a flask cluster and Traitor

- Explosions from Inpulsa's and Herald of Thunder

- POB comes with a non-self-chill budget build

Cons:

- Low defenses: only 4.2k life, 20% block/spell suppress, 23k armour, 39k EHP (there's an alternate item set&tree in the POB for an Aegis Aurora set that is way more tanky, but it only has 3.4m DPS and slower movement speed)

- Adding to this, you have to be real close to everything to hit it with BV. I tried to mitigate this with increased area of effect but your mileage may vary.

- I self-calculated the boost that Lightning Conduit has (see Misc Notes), so the real damage might be different.

- Fulcrum, anti-ignite boots, and possibly Brutal Restraint are expensive

​

Misc Notes

Note that I make POB calculate Lightning Conduit's DPS by taking Arc and modifying it like so:

  • Arc's avg damage is 660 from the gem alone. LC's is 1228, times 1.8 if I have 40% shock = 2210 or 3.34 times as high, so I put it in the Custom Modifiers as 234% more damage. (+20% from LC's gem as a separate mod)

  • Arc's cast time is 0.7s compared to LS's 0.5, so I put it in as Arc has 40% more Cast Speed.

​

Anyone have any tips for improving the build before I finish figuring out early game progression?
