I found using the Kitoko's Current gloves really helped my later progression. It makes all electric damage contribute to electrocute build up. Making it function a lot like freeze/chill does.

Other than that, just stack lightning/elemental/projectile/attack damage, drop in some herald buffs, and go to town.

I'm doing Lightning Spear as my first serious attempt to complete the campaign (just started playing the game as my main goto game).

My problem is that LIghtning Spear (with Herald of Thunder) is just so good that there's very little need to get clever. Don't bother rushing forward with a Rake and Disengaging back. Two Lightning Spears and they've have been dead already. ;)

So far the only combination that seems to make any sense is Lightning Spear then Thunder Lance? When the mob is Shocked. Even then I wonder if another Lightning Spear wouldn't be just as good.

Run Kitokos and combat frenzy and you’ll be fine

Not OP, but any ssf build links?

It is good for cleaning trash, maps etc.

However later in the game you must use spear based skills that concentrate on bossing for burst damage. Something like rake/bloodhunt for instance.

I made a bleed/poison/ignite blood witch and Saitha’s barbed spear unique. The Vaal corrupted version of the spear can give an additional 400% increased physical damage.

Was quite fun, though maybe a basic rare spear would be better, but basically, all damage contributes to bleeding and poison, and you aggravate bleeding and ignite.

It’s nothing like 0.2 lightning spear, but still good fun.

I've been rocking a combo lightning spear and primal strikes set up. I use LS for mobbing and clearing out maps, and then thunderstorm with all the shock boosts with primal strikes for single target. I also use hand of chayula with elemental weaking and freeze mark for even more single target DMG

this is my attempt, do not believe numbers on the website, they are a lot higher (depend on blind and daze).

my bossing skill (explosive spear) currently can reach up to 2,1mil dps plus 400k ignite

gain damage as physical on the weapon is required for leech mana
frenzy charges limit from 1st weapon does not go away if you switch them - still have 6 charges for barrage
atm I plan to get a 2 slot scepter for 30% presence area and corrupt my gems

if you really want to stay amazon, I would put embitter + bhatair's in the lightning spear for frenzy from freeze and manually cast sniper's mark + eternal mark on bosses, plus short fuse in the explosive spear.

or you can use resonance with bear talisman + fury of the mountain with brambleslam and rageforged 1 and 2 small fissues support to generate frenzy charges, put that weapon skillpoints all into attack speed and additional frenzy charges limit. that will use most rage and bear gains endurance charges from that converted to frenzy. both 50% chance for frenzy and endurance work for this in the weapon. you just tap fury of the mountain while mapping to get 2-4 frezy charges, takes 0,3 sec.

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
