Say hello to LightningFapstSponge, my personal take on a Wander. It can clear everything in the game and scales very well with more investments, but this is NOT a budget build, get your exalts ready.



Path of Building: https://pastebin.com/epTM8c2Z





The Concept This build is centered around the skills Kinetic Blast and Barrage and uses a Piscator's Vigil in combination with Abyssal jewels for massive flat damage gain

Also, we bow to the meta and become a Pathfinder to massively enhance our Flasks for even more insanity

As usual for a Wander, we scale very well with more and more currency, scaling our damage to ridiculous amounts if we can afford it

This is primarily a Softcore build due to not focusing that much on defense, although you could theoretically do it in Hardcore (if you hate yourself)









The Passives

Your Level 90 tree will look like this

We take a bunch of jewel sockets, the Flask Effect cluster as well as The big wand wheel for offense and the usual Life nodes for defense.

Keystones we take are Acrobatics for a bunch of easy defense.

Our bandit choice is Alira for crit multi and resistances

The Gear

The Weapon

A great and really cheap weapon is Piscator's Vigil, providing a big weapon elemental damage increase and penetration

If you can afford it, you could of course go crazy with a 300ex+ mirror tier wand, although it is not THAT much of an improvement

The best base for a rare wand is an Imbued Wand, look for high eDPS, speed and crit

The best possible corruption would be Culling Strike

The Shield

Lycosidae is a great shield that makes gearing much easier, although it is fairly pricey

Other options include Rare Shields with resistances and Life and Esh's Mirror

The Gloves

Tombfists are a great damage boost because they provide 1 abyssal socket and Intimidation, which effectively is 10% more damage. Even better, they are really damn cheap as well, so no reason not to use them

If you want to upgrade, get one with 2 abyssal sockets for even more damage and life

If you struggle with resists or life, use a rare pair of gloves if you really need to

The best enchants are "of Spite" for defense and "of Fury" for offense

The Boots

I'd recommend a rare pair of boots, since you need resistance and life, which not a lot of Uniques can provide

If you want, though, you could go with Atziri's Step or even Bubonic Trail (especially the 2 abyssal socket one)

I recommend the Flat Lightning Damage enchant, although the penetration one is also great

The Belt

This is pretty much up to you, rare Stygian Vises give you massive life, resistance and weapon elemental damage, but a Darkness Enthroned can socket 2 jewels

Choose whichever one you want

For clear speed, as always, Headhunter is amazing if you can get your hands on it

The Helmet

Since Tombfist takes up the Glove slot, we need something else to socket Kinetic Blast into

Thanks to the new War for the Atlas expansion, Elder is a thing, and it's a thing that brings amazing new mods to the table

Therefore, I recommend an Elder Helmet with a +#% critical strike chance to socketed Attacks roll, as well as life and resistance

If you don't want to, or can't afford it, Starkonja's Head is a nice overall damage boost, although it does not boost your Kinetic Blast specifically

If you get your hands on it, The Tempest's Binding is your best option

As expected, a +# Barrage projectiles enchant would be great, although really expensive

The Body Armor

The best possible choice is probably a Shroud of the Lightless, which gives you penetration for all elements, increased Life and an abyssal socket

Also Shade Form is a nice little bonus, although not that great

If you don't care about damage and life that much and wanna go fast, a Queen of the Forest is also a good choice

If you are poor and for some reason want to do this build, go with a 5l Queen of the Forest or even a Tabula if you really want to

If you have the balls, you can vaal your Chest for either +1 to socketed gems or +1 maximum resistances

The Jewellry

This is where you fill out missing stats and get damage boosts, i recommend (in order of priority)

Life

Resistances

Missing stats

%damage increases and crit(multi)

Flat elemental damage

Flat damage is that low because you already get a lot of it from Abyssal Jewels already

The best ring base are (who would've guessed) Opal Rings, although they can get really expensive

For Amulet choose whichever one suits your stats requirements

Also, allmighty Bisco's Collar is of course an option

Attack Speed

You also need one Conqueror's Potency to give you 50%+ increased Flask effect

The Flasks You definitely want a Quicksilver Flask for speed and a Diamond Flask of Staunching for crit and Bleed Immunity

for speed and a for crit and Bleed Immunity Dying Sun is a must since it provides, at 50%+ flask effect, 3 additional projectiles, which almost doubles Barrage's DPS

If you can balance all resistanes on on the same number, it is especially great Atziri's Promise and Vessel of Vinktar are interchangeable, since they provide very similar damage improvements. I personally chose Atziri's Promise since it is easier to sustain; if you got a Double Legacy Vinktar , use that of course

and are interchangeable, since they provide very similar damage improvements. I personally chose since it is easier to sustain; if you got a , use that of course Swap one of them out for a Life Flask when running the Labyrinth











The Gems

Barrage

Since we already got loads of flat damage, we don't need that much in our gem setup, so we choose multipliers except for Added Lightning

If you don't use Shroud of the Lightless, use the penetration gem of your highest element as your 6th link

Kinetic Blast

GMP is a must, we also take Elemental Damage with Attacks; also Pierce helps with large packs of monsters

Herald of Ice

We link our Herald with Curse on Hit and Poacher's Mark for frenzy charge generation and Flask Charges

Onslaught support triggers often enough to give you Onslaught nearly permanently

If you use a Tempest's Binding, use Assasin's Mark instead

Best looking MTX options are Gore Herald and Gloom Herald, although Purple Herald is nice as well

Wrath & Golems

Wrath provides a huge amount of flat lightning, pretty much a no-brainer

Ice Golem is your best Golem choice for crit chance

Socket this in your Tombfist

If you only got 1 abyssal socket, use the free socket for whatever you want, I recommend a Vaal skill (Haste or Breach), Frenzy or Portal

Orb of Storms

Since you won't trigger your Herald all that often in boss fights, you need another way to apply a curse

I recommend a Orb of Storms setup with Projectile Weakness, since that curse is the best damage improvement

If you feel too squishy, Enfeeble is also a possibility

Put this in either Wand or Shield

Immortal Call

You will probably want an Immortal Call setup to protect yourself against physical damage, use it with Cast when Damage Taken of an appropriate level to automate the process

Increased Duration enhances this buff even further

If you don't want Immortal Call, put a Vaal setup with Haste, Lightning Trap etc. in here

The offhand

Since we don't swap our weapons, use your offhand to level gems for profit.

Notable ones include Enlighten and Empower, but look around yourself to find the most profitable ones at the moment

Leveling

Consider the usual leveling uniques like a Tabula Rasa of course



I recommend doing whatever you want until level 12

Once you hit that, equip two Storm Prisons and start using Barrage



Equip a Volley Fire once you unlock your first jewel socket to improve the clear of Barrage



Reserve your mana with all three heralds until you hit the endgame

Once you hit level 28, start using Kinetic Blast for clearing and Barrage for Single Targets only

Wether you already use 2 seperate setups or put both in your Tabula Rasa is up to you

At level 30, equip a Thief's Torment to make sustain and survival much more easy



At this point, continue going through the Acts as usual

If you want a better Wand, just buy a white one from a Vendor and throw an Essence of Wrath/Anger/Hatred at it and craft crit chance if you can



If you struggle with stats Astramentis is amazing



I included a couple of Leveling trees in the Path of Building Pastebin
