How are you getting frenzy charges in your final POB for LC? I see in the OP you mention chest mod or legion jewel but the final POB doesn't have either.

I am currently level 71, but somehow my hits don't seem to shock anything, even though I am running Shaper of Storm.
Arcanist brand/hydrosphere seems to help, but I am not sure how.
You can check my character Juliana if you have tips on what I'm doing wrong/what I should improve upon.

Why do you recommend avoiding mana modifiers on gear?

You might want to highlight the need for such a thing in your guide, as it's mentioned just in passing, and not as an essential of how you make the build work.

Important FAQ:
How am I Shocking for 50-65% if my helmet says I can't Shock with Lightning?
Simple. Elementalist *replaces* the Shock based on the damage with a 15% Base Shock.
This translates to 4 Cold Damage (or Fire/Phys/Chaos...) doing 50/65% Shock each and every hit for this build

Lightning Conduit is built somewhat differently, due to needing constant/reliable Shock, as well as needing % Shock to be as high as possible (even more than usual).

Important Notes for Gear and other things...
0) You'll get confused with this often, so here's a reminder. You can't Shock with Lightning Damage, but you *can* shock with any and all other types of damage.
3) You *MUST* have Flat Fire/Cold/Phys/Chaos damage somewhere on your gear to be able to Shock - I recommend a ring like I have here, or an Abyssal Jewel (Hypnotic Eye Base).
10) You'll get confused with this often, so here's a reminder. You can't Shock with Lightning Damage, but you *can* shock with any and all other types of damage.

Shock Mechanics:
2) All Damage can Shock = Hey look! You can now Shock with all damage types. You dealt 5 Physical Damage? Shock. 12 Chaos? Shock. 42 Cold? Shock. The only damage type that won't be Shocking is Lightning, but as long as you have even 4 flat damage of any other type, which you do from any amount of flat non-lightning damage from a jewel/syndicate mod, all your hits Shock.
