Notes

I prefer to not level as Arc as I feel it has not felt great early which is why I level Storm Brand as I feel its better for leveling at least. If you don't like brand to level you can put points Mental Rapidity and Stormweaver instead of the Brand related nodes I take early.

Use Bench to get resists and attributes as needed.

I don't think league starters should really advertise leveling acts GEAR as you are mostly just getting what you drop so that's why my build just only has gear to go for during endgame.

Try to get +1 lightning wand early. Recipe is wand + 40qual lightning gems. Otherwise check vendors and blue and yellow sceptres and wands on ground for it.

This build is mostly meant to farm the new breach as well as Legion mechanics and is not truly meant for bossing Which is why my gear is labeled mid to late mapping as a goal to make this decently effective at that.
I may continue deeper if I feel the power is worth the juice.

Skin is from Breach we have no clue what it's drop is now but this is mostly wishful thinking that it is going to be easy to get a meh one that doesn't brick the build in trade.

For the breach passive tree I believe 6 link fishing is probably the best go to asap (maximize link and sockets and body armour as well as attribute requirements)

While the corruption tree is good I do not know if this build can really pull off an ultimatum easily to face trialmaster in the first place and while I haven't played this build in a couple leagues I have never felt hurting for souls especially in content like breach and legion which is what this is mainly built for.
