Build Description

This build contains one or more skills that have been changed because of skill updates. This may cause an increase or decrease in the build's performance, so check the skill descriptions carefully. If this is your build, editing it will remove this message.

The quick recharge of these lightning skills, their 25% armour penetration, and the fact your attacks are mostly direct (not projectile so can't be dodged, evaded or blocked) make this a powerful spike build for PvE or PvP Ramom/Team Arenas. Energy management is covered by appropriate use of Glyph of Lesser Energy and Air Attunement.

Usage

Spike with Lightning Surge followed immediately by Lightning Hammer or Lightning Orb, the 3 second delay on Surge will mean both skills strike at the same time. Extend the spike by following immediately with the Hammer or Orb depending on which you used before. Recommendation User Hammer first because foe may still be or start moving ... chances are foe will settle by the time you get to Orb.

Keep Air Attunement up at all times.
Focus on priority targets and then softer targets the rest of your party aren't attacking, you'll be able to take them out fast on your own.
When energy 2/3rds or less use Glyph of Lesser Energy when you can for "free" spikes and to let your energy regen.
Use Lightning Strike to finish off foes with low HP.

Possible Variations

Substitute in Blinding Flash for another defence against attack.
Substitute in Chain Lightning for AOE-esque damage dealing.
Substitute in Aura of Restoration for health management (You'll need this for PvP in Random Arenas).
