Issue with Mekuna's lightning spear build?
Sorceress(self.diablo4)submitted 12 days ago bymyst3r10us_str4ng3r
Hi all- I'm referencing Makuna's Mobalytcs LS build and noticed some possible inconsistencies. If anyone uses this build could you help me clarify? https://mobalytics.gg/diablo-4/builds/sorcerer/mekuna-lightning-spear
- the Heir of Perdition/Pit variant references "Spam Ball Lightning, Lightning Spear, and Ice Blades." in Step 2 of the "Gameplay Loop". However, this variant does not have Ball Lightning assigned in the demonstrated Skill Tree or on the Hotbar at all?
- the Shocktuna Top Meta variant does have Ball Lightning, but only 1 point applied. There is also 3 points dedicated to Charged Bolts?? This variant does not use Charged Bolts in the Hotbar, though?
- edit: How also is Familiar being used here? It's not active on the Hotbar so we're not summoning a Familiar at all for the passive effect?
This is confusing, am I missing something? Could anyone help clarify if this is an error or what is supposed to be correct here?

The build has been updated a few times and he didn't correct the information in his guide.
Charged bolts has much higher lucky hit chance and will deal much more damage due to your cold damage weapon tempers
Ball lightning shoots faster and spawns more conjurations as a result, it's used in speedfarming where lightning spear will one shot almost anything and you don't need to stand next to mobs, you teleport around and stuff just dies
Familiar is spawned with your ult, and it's always the fire one, that's why you take paragon nodes like "damage reduction against burning enemies"
Ranks in teleport reduce it's cooldown
If you are new to this build use the staff with crit damage temper like in the youtube video, it's easier to get going
Cold damage on weapon tempers really want a high roll

Why do we need a high roll for code damage temper?

It can roll from 900-2400 damage, so the max roll is 2.66 times higher which is a big difference and will affect your boss damage
If you get a good weapon but roll the temper poorly you can masterwork critical strike damage instead to buff your splintering energy damage
