Since the other dude is asking for more PoB, here is a tentative Lightning Conduit Elementalist.
I looked at the other lightning conduit PoB and found it extremely lacking. Insane custom multiplier from everywhere, a shock calculated on the basis you have already a 100% shock on the target which it obviously won't, a need to alternate between lightning arrow and lightning conduit, an idea that using voltaxic make the build reach "a much high ceiling" while you are basically giving up weapons and ends up with a spell doing 40% lightning 60% chaos (very fun to scale the resists after that), etc.
Well, I basically hated everything about it, and thus, made my own build. The following contains exactly 0% assumption or things needed to be cleared up, and the pob uses no custom modifier outside the very obvious.

- Storm brand with 350% lightning ailment effect, resulting into a 65% shock applied consistantly. It has the exact same trigger rate than Lightning conduit has as cast rate, resulting into a perfect combination. You can storm brand once, you nuke with Lightning conduit for the next 6 sec. No other question asked.
- Flame dash, frostblink or shield charge with a precast Galvanic field to clear packs. Scrapped the idea of flame burst, it's actually the same in the end.
- A gigantic scaling through charges and Ralakesh Impatience. We are looking for the 3 power charges, a power charge on helmet, Forbidden power through forbidden flame/flesh combo, Malachai loop as a shield, and a swap to void battery against bosses. That's 11 power charges. Then you get Badge of the brotherhood to get 11 frenzy charges as well.
- You get Militant faith for Inner Conviction. You still get frenzy charges through the minimum.
- With the different effects on the tree, including alt quality power charge on crit, you get 61% spell damage and 3% more damage per powercharge, 4% cast speed, 4% more damage and 6% increased damage per frenzy charge (which is also per power charge in the end). For a total, with 11 charges, of 91.52% more damage, 44% cast speed and 737% increased damage, from charges only.
- Low maintenance build. During mapping, you only have to cast galvanic field against every pack, and against boss, you only have to use (and maintain) storm brand before spamming lightning conduit without thinking.
- The build is also sporting fairly high PDR, caped spell suppression and a caped molten shell.
- Sustain is not that great, ~32% life per second only.
​
I'm not going to speculate about the damage of lightning conduit, but the build, with the supports, is going to have the following modifiers:
- 1254% increased damage
- 295% more damage without the supports, 2195% more damage with support. Another, separate, 130% damage with shock effectiveness.
- Effective dps mod (resistance + increased damage taken) of 2.12
- 5.4 cast/sec, each of them on a 65% shock.
​
Enjoy.
Edit: Pob updated with EB, caped spell suppression, exposure on eldritch implicit, HoD instead of LoP, blessing determination with purity of element and wrath as the new permanent auras and several other minor changes.
