Dear exiles, today I want to share 5 builds that you should play before the Lake of Kalandra league ends.
1. Lightning Conduit
Class: Witch
Ascendancy: Elementalist
Budget
To complete the Atlas: this build doesn’t have a budget version. (it needs about 5 Divine orbs)
Mandatory Uniques
Inpulsa’s Broken Heart
This body armour causes shocked enemies to explode.
Ralakesh’s Impatience
These boots cause you always have all of your charges when stationary.
Malachai’s Loop
This shield shocks you when at maximum power charges.
Storm’s Gift
These gloves spread the shock to nearby enemies.
The Three Dragons
It causes your lightning damage to freezing for more survivability.
Badge of the Brotherhood
This amulet causes your maximum frenzy charges to be the same as your maximum power charges.
Call of the Void
This wand grants +1 power charge and increased damage per power charge.
Pros
Awesome clear speed with explosions
Very easy to play
Super fast
Good armour and evasion
Cons
Expensive
Low life pool
Terrible sound effects
General Strengths
Clear Speed
You just use a shield charge toward enemies. They will get automatically shocked, and with a single click, you will make an amazing explosive that clears your whole screen.
Boss Damage
That lightning conduit is capable of amazing single-target damage everyone knows. But with this build, the shock never ends, and you can keep hitting that lightning conduit and melting big bosses like they are nothing.
Survivability
This build counts with a good amount of armour, evasion, spell suppression and even some block chance. But since it uses many mandatory uniques, it might be hard to cap all your resistances and have a good life pool.
Leveling
Difficulty: easy
Beginner’s friendly: yes
Level 1 to 12 skill: Spark
Level 12 to 70 skill: Arc
Level 70+ skill: Lightning Conduit
2. Forbidden Rite
Class: Witch
Ascendancy: Occultist
Budget
To complete the Atlas: this build doesn’t have a budget version. (it needs about 10 Divine orbs)
Mandatory Uniques
The Devouring Diadem
This helmet grants an eldritch battery and allows us to activate all auras.
Pros
Super fast clear speed
Awesome boss damage
Instant leech
Amazing map farmer
High armour and evasion
High chance to suppress spell damage
Cons
Expensive
Deals damage to yourself
Needs a lot of "Life gained on hit"
General Strengths
Clear Speed
You'll be sending a lot of projectiles in all directions. This will kill cursed enemies that explode in an amazing chain reaction. This way, you can clear hundreds of enemies with a single cast.
Boss Damage
This build can easily achieve 15 million dps, but since it's poison, it needs a second to build up. It's a great single-target damage overall.
Survivability
Even though this build has a lot of armour, evasion and spell suppression chance, it deals damage to itself and needs to count with instant leech to survive. It's good survivability but loses 2 points.
Leveling
Difficulty: not so easy
Beginner’s friendly: yes
Level 1 to 12 skill: Spark
Level 12 to 75 skill: Essence Drain

Pros
Awesome clear speed with explosions
Safe ranged casts
Farms a lot of currency/hour
Very tanky
Super fast
High armour and evasion
Cons
Expensive
Many mandatory uniques
Needs a lot of investment to have good damage on pinnacle bosses
General Strengths
Clear Speed
From very far, you'll throw your ethereal knives and trigger a chain reaction that explodes hundreds of enemies in a second. It's a perfect build for farming maps.
Boss Damage
The single target damage depends on your ignite damage, and this requires a lot on investment to escalate. But don't worry, you won't have issues with regular map bosses, but it would take some time to kill the pinnacle ones.
Survivability
This build counts with a good amount of armour and evasion. The best part is that you can hit enemies from a safe distance. So if you play it safely, you will hardly die.
