Build Notes |

|
Trinity amplifies our elemental damage and with the Painter's Servant, we'll always be able to cap our elemental damage. However, Lazy Exile's setup for the endgame changes which includes the glove, and is then swapped into Maligaro's Virtuosity.
This new glove is then partnered with Tangletongue to solve all of our damage requirements which opens up the tree for more survivability options and allows us to remove our elemental damage nodes that originally supported the Trinity skill.
Infuse Weapon allows you to consume Power Charges to infuse your Lightning Spear with Cold Damage and allows the Potential support gem to shine. Furthermore, it is convenient to maintain with the equipment setup and is just an easy way for you to increase your damage overall.
The build, which is heavily geared around Frenzy Charges, generates Frenzy Charges in three ways:
While Herald of Thunder is already a consistent means of electrocuting enemies, the main reason is that the build wants to run Potential on Lightning Spear for additional 40%Critical Hit Rate.
Furthermore, base Gloves are able to give flat-out damage boosts. However, if you already have the means of reaching 100% Critical Hit Rate on Lightning Spear without potential, you can slot Kitoko's Current!

It is recommended to equip a Spear that provides additional physical damage and accuracy rating. Combining this with increased attack speed and gaining mana per kill gives a higher output of Lightning Spears and crits, dealing a barrage of Lightning Spears at a more consistent pace.
Accuracy Rating is highly important in weapons as well since the Penetrate Ascendancy passive node greatly increases the equipped weapon's physical damage depending on its accuracy rating.
Upon gearing further, you'll want to get the synergy of Maligaro and Tangletongue so we'll want to swap to it once we get Maligaro for our gloves.
For the off-hand, the Lycosidae Rampart Tower Shield is recommended to empower this build as it doubles accuracy rating, making sure crits are almost always hit. You'll also want to consider the Sunsplinter Array Buckler as an alternative to increase your infused weapon damage
Once done, we'll want to invest in an offensive Sceptre to gain a huge amount of Spirit and Critical Hit Chance to synergize with our tanky endgame setup. The big spirit requirement is for our defensive persistent skills, mainly Ghost Dance and its support gems.
For our Armor pieces, we'll want to use Redflare Conduit as it is the build's main source of getting Power Charge per hit, making attacks deal more DPS at the cost of being shocked once you reach maximum Power Charges.
Going into the endgame tank version, we'll then rely and go back to rare gear pieces with an emphasis on resistances and energy shield to make it easier to progress with Mapping and avoid dying to random stray attacks.
Emerald Rings are recommended since it increase the accuracy rating at the start of mapping to get accuracy rating to pump our damage.
Later on, we'll make a swap to Amethyst Rings to cover our Chaos resistances instead as we'll want to transition from glass cannon to a balanced dps/durability build.
The Beacon of Azis Solar Amulet ensures that critical hits will always deal even more damage because it will allow this build to ignore enemies' elemental resistances. It also gives Spirit, which allows the activation of buff skills.
A good alternative will be a Gold Amulet since it is good to increase the chances of acquiring rarer items to maximize this build's potential.
Equipment | Sockets |

Weapon | |
Armor |
It is recommended to equip the Soul Core of Quipolatl for the Spear rune slots to increase the DPS of Lightning Spear by being able to throw out more of them at a faster rate.
Iron Runes are used on armor to increase overall defenses, especially armor and evasion. Increased evasion will mean that there's a lesser chance of getting hit while mounting the Rhoa, therefore avoiding the risk of heavy stun.

Equip a Thawing Charm and Sapphire Charm when facing Count Geonor since it negates Freezing and offers Cold Resistance from his Chill attacks.
Replace Thawing Charm with a Grounding Charm as it helps negate both Jamanra, the Abomination and Doryani's Shock from their attacks. Grounding Charm is also a good alternative to avoid being shocked from Redflare Conduit if Byrnabas has not been acquired yet.
※ The Support Gems' priority are arranged in a descending order. The first one being the most important and the last being the least crucial.

The Lightning Spear Amazon build's foundation skill, as its namesake suggest is the Lightning Spear. It is then paired with Infuse Weapon ascendancy skill to massively increase its damage by adding supplementary Lightning and Cold damage. The reasons for including the support gems here are indicated below:

Once Ascendancy has been achieved, focus on unlocking the Elemental Infusion to also deal Cold Damage when using Power Charges. Critical Strike and Predatory Instinct are significant damage boosts to this build as they unlock a higher potential for crits and give an advantage over stronger enemies. Lastly, Penetrate's damage given scales from accuracy rating, something that we aim to increase throughout this build.
Our focus on our passive tree has changed from just going full damage to getting high value damage + survivability nodes. We are also not opting into penetration nodes thanks to Beacon of Azie which gives us free zero-elemental resistance damage against enemies on critical strikes.

For general mobbing, you will adopt a one-button playstyle revolving around Lightning Spear as you move around while throwing Spears to clear mobs:
This changes during the final version of the build where we will only start gaining Frenzy Charges as we forego Redflare Conduit.
For bossing, we'll mainly rely on Storm Lance and its ground DPS to ramp up our single target damage.:
