Lightning Conduit Elementalist Gear & Flasks (PoE Lake of Kalandra)

Summary – TL;DR

Cap your Elemental Resistances and get the attributes your gems require to make sure you can use them all. Most pieces should be Rare with Life and, of course, any lacking attributes/resistances. Modifiers which increase the level of your Lightning Conduit skill are most efficient.

Item Slot	Item Name	Rarity
Head	Life then res/attributes as needed	Rare
Amulet	Life then res/attributes as needed (For higher budget we want a +1 lighting +1 all all spell skills amulet	Rare
Chest	Tabula Rasa then Inpulsa's Broken Heart	Rare
Gloves	Life then Res/Attributes as needed then Storm's Gift	Rare
Boots	Life, Movement speed, then res/attributes as needed	Rare
Belt	Life then res/attributes as needed	Rare
Rings	Life then Res/Attributes as needed	Rare
Weapons	Singularity and a +1 All Lightning Spells shield with Life then res/attributes as needed	Rare

Armour Pieces

Many of the higher budget examples can either be purchased or crafted. When crafting, I would strongly suggest utilizing Craft of Exile to determine the cheapest approach to crafting the desired items.

Since most items in this build are Rare, the main focus will be to have as much Life as possible and sort any attributes and resistances so we can reach the desired caps. However, there are some juicy choices one can take to increase the build’s efficiency, although they will come with a higher price tag.

Helmet

This slot will use a proper Life roll & any resistances and/or attributes if needed.

Body Armour

For the low budget you can simply run any rare 6-Link with life and any Res/Attributes as needed or a Tabula Rasa. For higher budget you’ll want to start running the Inpulsa's Broken Heart

Gloves

We want to use Either a Rare pair of gloves with Life, Res, and Attributes or Storm's Gift

Boots

Generic high life, movement speed with any Res/Attributes as needed.

Belt

You can use any rare belt with Life, resistances and/or attributes as needed.

Jewels

For jewel sockets, we are looking for increased Life as the main modifier and the second modifier should always be any of the increased cast speed, Lightning Damage, Spell Damage, or Area Damage

Cluster Jewels

We want an 8 passive Large Cluster Jewel with 12% increased Lightning Damage

1. Sadist
2. Doryani’s Lesson
3. Stormrider

You can spam harvest crafts like Reforge Life, Lightning, or Cold to hit at least 2 out of 3 of these pretty easily.

Accessories

Amulet

High life, resistances & attributes as needed.

The anoint you want is Ash, Frost, and Storm.

Rings

Make sure to have high life, resistances & attributes as usual.

Weapon

We use Singularity in the Budget friendly version of this build as it gives us a bit of defensiveness with the Hinder “Aura” as well as a ton of damage

Shield

We want a shield with +1 all Lightning Spell Skills and you guessed it Life, Res, and Attributes.

Flasks

Flask set-ups are almost always a matter of personal taste when it comes to what utility flasks to use. However, I will list the set-up I’ve been using for a smooth play experience. To find the available list of modifiers the flasks can have, check out these links: Utility Flasks, Life Flasks, Mana Flasks & lastly: Hybrid Flasks

Slot	Flask	Description
1	“Seething” Divine Life Flask of “Sealing”, “Alleviation”, “Allaying” or “Assuaging”	Instant life flask that also removes bleed effects from you
2	“Clinician’s” Jade Flask of the “Ibex”	More evasion as it is one of our layers of defense
3	“Clinician’s” Granite Flask of “Abalone”, “Tortoise”, “Pangolin” or “Armadillo”	The prefix modifier helps sustain the flask charges during map clearing & the flask provides increased physical damage mitigation whilst the suffix increase your armor significantly
4	“Surgeons” Silver Flask	Onslaught gives us a ton of clear speed and a bit of extra damage on bosses
5	“Clinician’s” Quicksilver Flask	The obvious movement speed flask with charge sustain prefix modifier, the suffix can be whichever you feel like
