Build Mechanics
The Lightning Spear Sorcerer relies on 
Aspect of Splintering Energy to deal damage, and Critical Strike Damage is prioritized to scale its bonus damage. The build focuses on spawning 
Lightning Spear by casting 
Ball Lightning with 
Unstable Currents active. Increased Attack Speed and Cooldown Reduction are important stats to maintain a high stack count of 
Primordial Binding.
Enlightenment is quickly stacked by alternating 
Ice Armor and 
Flame Shield with the other Skills included in this build. Shimmering Ice Armor reduces the Cooldown of Ice Armor, so it can be cast more often.
Familiar counts as a Fire, Cold, and Lightning Skill when slotted into an Enchantment slot for 
Enchantment Master. Increased damage for all 3 elements massively scales the bonus from Enlightenment.
Skill Rotation
Use the following rotation to optimize damage.
- Keep activating
Unstable Currents. - Cast
Teleport offensive on top of enemies. Alternate Teleport and Evade Teleport with other Skills to quickly stack Enlightenment. - Alternate casts of Ice Armor and Flame Shield with the other Lightning Skills to stack Enlightenment.
- Cast Lightning Spear when it is not on cooldown.
- Spam Ball Lightning to spawn Lightning Spear.
