[3.19] Non-Crit Lightning Conduit

Before Start
This build is a non-crit version of lightning conduit, it may run good in the first several days. But you'd better upgrade it to a crit version before challange an end game boss.
Since it's my first post in forum, if you think anything wrong in it, please give me your advice.

Benefit From

- Lightning Ailment Effect
- Lightning/Spell/Area Damage
- Cooldown Recovery Rate (Thus spell speed is more quicker than CD)
- Spell Speed (For better Hit&Run)


Tree

Just for example: https://pastebin.com/Kcv9qJR9
You don't have to make your tree excactly same as it, just allocate these following passives is fine:
- Ascendancy: Elementalist, allocate Shaper of Storm
- All Ailment Effect you can reach
- All Mana Reservation you can reach
- Most Lightning Damage you can reach
- Enough Life
- Some Area Damage and Cast Speed if you like
- Lightning Mastery: +15% Maximum Effect of Shock
- Lightning Mastery: Lightning Damage with Non-Critical Strikes is Lucky
- Elemental Mastery: 40% increased Effect of Non-Damaging Ailments
- Keystone: Elemental Overload
- Keystone: Ghost Dance
- Large Jewel Socket


Skill

Unless you play a Triggersetup like CWC, COC or Spellslinger i don´t get the point of CDR. Lightning Conduit only has a 0.5 cast Time and you can cut it as far as you want. Or is your CDR for Stormbrand (never played any brand builds)?

We will see ingame how much Lightning Ailment we need. Would love to see some option to play a high shock effect build with shocknova / voltaxic rift but this is not possible for leaguestart.

Easy way to scale shock effect is manastacking, so i worked on archmage versions a bit. archmage is only viable for spellecho/ pledge of hands, and we don´t know how echo and LC interact.

But thx for your build, im not sure if i leaguestart LC but ill take look for sure!
