This Lightning Comet build revolves around calling down Comets by using the persistent skill Cast on Shock paired with lightning abilities such as Tempest Flurry and Lightning Wave. With this ability and spell combination, the build can deal Lightning and Ice damage that clear mob groups and burst down bosses.

The skills for the early game still revolve around using lightning abilities like Falling Thunder and Tempest Flurry but with the help of Tempest Bell to amplify its damage.

Lightning Comet Invoker Gear Modifiers

For the weapon, you'll want a flat increase in Lightning Damage and Attack Speed to shock enemies faster for proccing Cast on Shock. For your armor, you'll want Mana, Life, and Elemental Resistances to survive in the later stages of the campaign.

After you ascend, you'll want to stack on Evasion Rating for your armor to maximize the effects of the ...Protect me from Harm node in your Ascendancy skill tee. This node allows your Evasion Rating to also grant Physical Damage Reduction.

Cast Comet by using Cast on Shock paired with Tempest Flurry or Lightning Wave. Tempest Flurry is best used with Tempest Bell when you're fighting bosses due to its Attack Speed allowing you to Shock the boss faster, while Lightning Wave is better against mobs due to its multi-hit.

You'll want to Support Storm Wave or Tempest Flurry with Conduction, Martial Tempo, and Lightning Infusion to increase its damage and Shock chance.

For your survivability and mana sustain it's great to use Blasphemy with Enfeeble and Clarity. Blasphemy with Enfeeble allows you to curse enemies around you, making them deal less damage; while this curse is active, Clarity allows you to gain increased mana regeneration, making you spam more skills.

As you start in the passive tree you'll want to take all Notables that increase Intelligence, Dexterity and Evasion Rating. You'll also want to take nodes that grant utility offenses such as Mindful Awareness, Flow State, Crashing Wave, and Essence of the Storm.

Afterward, you'll want to obtain General Electric, True Strike, and Wild Storm. These notables increase your lightning damage, critical strike chance, and increased chance to shock, granting you a significant power boost in the early acts of the campaign.

When you have enough spirit to use Cast on Shock with Comet after Ascendancy, you'll want to obtain Spellblade, Dynamism, Potent Incantation, Energise, and Invocated Efficiency to increase the damage of Comet.

Lightning Comet Invoker Playstyle and Rotation

The playstyle of the Lightning Comet Invoker revolves around using Storm Wave or Tempest Flurry to inflict Shock and cast Comet. The rotation is as follows:

1. Spam Storm Wave to enemy mobs until you Shock them cast Comet.
2. Use Tempest Flurry with Tempest Bell against Bosses for faster Shock procs and Comet casts.
3. Stay in a near safe distance from enemies to gain the effects of Blasphemy with Enfeeble.
