This pure caster build relies on doing pretty much everything with the lightning staff. Thanks to the addition of the surge blessing to this staff, the left click attacks are now extremely powerful for sniping anything long range. Close to mid range, we use our right click lightning to kill specials and elites, also providing some CC for our team as the enemies are electrocuted. Mettle keeps our toughness high as long as we are casting, and we are always casting thanks to Empyric Resolve.
How to play: Blast enemies until your peril is at 100%, once you start to overload, vent peril on the largest group of enemies nearby, putting soulblaze on them from Creeping Flames. Kill these enemies to get warp charges from In Fire Reborn, which will lower our cooldown on venting. By the time our peril is 100% again, vent will be back up in most situations.
Secret Sauce: You can get one lightning bolt cast when you are at 100% peril, venting after so we don't blow up. Try not to vent unless you are about to bust.
