About

This is our ninth edition of the Raiden build, focusing on huge amounts of lightning damage with a ton of automation and fast clear speeds. This is a high-DPS, automated lightning sorcerer build that melts bosses and clears maps at incredible speed, while staying tanky through ward stacking. It’s designed for endgame monoliths and arena farming, and is considered one of the most fun and powerful mages builds in the current patch.

The Endgame loot filter can be found here.
