Full Build Details
This build uses runes as the main focus for doing damage that is why we focus hard on lightning and ethereal damage so when doing bosses make sure u also use their respective potions to boost your damage even more. The optimal faction would be The Holy Mission but it still works great with the other ones with the worst being The Blue Chamber faction. For doing damage u will mainly be casting Fal + Dez to get up the lantern and then spamming Fal + Shim, having a trap up when enemies come near will boost your damage even more since we boost ethereal quite a bit and having a little bonus decay damage on top of it. With just the items we reach 45% mana cost reduction, 45% lightning damage bonus, 20% ethereal damage bonus and 10% decay damage bonus then adding the boons on top we already reach 75% lighting, 50% ethereal and 40% decay then adding the extra bonuses from the factions and u will be melting enemies and have very little mana problems since we regen ~0.5 mana per second.
