Eliteish's Notes
In this edition of EAPGG's Piloting series we walk through how to play the Ascendant Ball Lightning Archmage build. For our Piloting series, I let the PoB do the talking for item specifics and focus discussion on the strengths/weaknesses of the build in real end-game.
Special note: the video has me using awakened elemental focus. The PoB uses awakened lightning penetration which is the correct gem for the build. Bosses won't resist like they do in the video. Sorry for the confusion!
