Notes

Arc Lightning is one of the most iconic skills in the game. Today we're talking about the Arc Mage variant, which is a powerhouse in the current 3.23 league. With this build, you can wipe out almost every boss except the Uber Pinnacles. It's a lot like Arc Mage, minus the Mana regeneration, and you can get 40 million burst damage every few seconds with Unleash.

Choosing the Right Ascendancy
This build is built around Hierophant. Many have considered Elementalist, but Hierophant's recent buff with Arcane Blessing ascendancy node, which gives 20% more spell damage scaling with Arcane Surge, makes it a better choice. It's now both tankier and more damaging than Elementalist. Add Conviction of Power, and you've got a killer start. Divine Guidance boosts our mana, while Illuminated Devotion protects us from elemental damage.

Passive Tree Insights
We focus on mana, mana regeneration, power charges, spell damage, crit chance, and lightning penetration in our passive tree. Two large cluster Jewel setups: one with Caster notables Seal Mener and Sappy, and one with Lightning notables Scintillating Idea and Widespread Destruction. With mastery options, you can add mana to shock effects, unleash support with another signal, and increase Critical Strike multiplier for unique enemies.
