Weapons
Prioritize getting the Level to All Spells for both your wand and your focus. This is the most important modifier for increasing your damage because it increases the base damage of all your spells. If you don't have the budget for extra spirit on your gear, you can substitute your focus for a sceptre, but at the cost of damage.
Since the build relies on repeated casts of arc to inflict shock, look for increased cast speed to output more spells faster. Follow this with mana modifiers to sustain continuous casting, as Archmage is quite mana-intensive.
The Chiming staff is only used to cast the Sigil of Power. However, it can serve as a budget alternative until you obtain a decent wand and focus, provided it has the right modifiers.
List of Weapons
Armor and Accessories
Grab as many energy shield modifiers as you can while capping out your resistances, as this determines your survivability in most encounters. We won't be using any uniques, but this build requires around 200 Spirit on your body armor and amulet to enable all our persistent skills.
Use Pearl rings to have the guaranteed faster cast speed modifier, but you can substitute this for other rings provided that they have the right modifiers.

Greater Iron Rune
Soul Core of TacatiAs the majority of our damage will entirely be focused on lightning, we will be using Greater Storm Runes on our Wand, for increased lightning damage.
Reaching the resistance cap wouldn't be too hard for our armor pieces because we can get elemental resistances in all of our armor and accessories. We can use Greater Iron Runes for more energy shield and a Soul Core of Takati to reach the chaos resistance cap.

We do not need a specific belt, as long as it has the maximum amount of charm slots, since we will be using all slots to protect us from crowd control.
We will be using Thawing, Stone, and Silver charms for immunity to Freeze, Stun, and Slows, respectively. While we do have Blink on this build, we will want to avoid being disabled and maintain our mobility during combat.

Our primary damage-dealing skill will be Arc, which we will use in conjunction with Orb of Storms to inflict shock and create elemental infusions. Since the Orb of Storms only spawns a remnant after it expires, we will slot Compressed Duration onto it to make it expire faster. However, this can be removed during boss encounters.
Shocked enemies contribute to Cast on Elemental Ailment, which is then used to automatically cast Lightning Conduit. This allows us to use the skill without suffering the drawbacks of its long casting animation.
Siphon Elements is mainly used to gather elemental infusions to improve Arc. Meanwhile, Achmage provides a flat damage boost and Blink improves survivability. Since this setup is quite spirit-intensive, you can choose to drop Blink if you don't need the extra mobility.

We will focus mainly on choosing passives that increase shock chance and lightning damage. The most notable passives here are Pure Power and Lightning Archon, which increase all our damage significantly. This encourages us to stack as much Intelligence as possible, which also increases our energy shield reserves.
For the rest of our passive points, we will focus on survivability by taking energy shield nodes such as Insightfulness and Pure Energy. We will also allocate some nodes to address our mana issues, such as Efficient Casting.
