The Ice Lightning Chayula build utilizes Shattering Palm and Herald of Ice to prime enemies for Freeze while bursting them down with Tempest Bell and Tempest Flurry buffed by Charged Staff.

The build uses Combat Frenzy along with the Resonance keystone to convert the Frenzy Charges into Power Charges. This is important to have a reliable way of generating Power Charges for Charged Staff.

Ice Lightning Chayula Gear Setup

Equipment and Modifiers

It is preferred to have a weapon with Cold and Physical damage modifiers as well as Intelligence and Levels of All Melee skills to provide more damage to the build. Having a Cold Attack modifier lets the build generate Power Charges for the Charged Staff skill consistently. As for the weapon runes, we opted for more Physical Damage since that’s how the skills scale up.

For the armor, we focused on getting Elemental Resistance to 75% for survivability. Aim to get all resistances capped at 75% by allocating runes whichever resistance is lacking.

The Charm for the build is flexible according to the ailment you dislike the most. We decided to opt for charms that grant Immunity to Poison or Bleed as DoT can be devastating.
