[1.3] Kaom's Lightning/Static striker / BUDGET / 500k+ Single Target DPS / 300k+ AoE DPS / Atziri


Hello dear Path of Exile players.
A little introduction to start with:
Welcome to my build guide of this awesome crit elemental build. It consists of two different mains skills; Lightning strike for area of effect damage (Pack clearing) and Static strike for single target damage (Bosses etc). Leveling this character can be done by any way you want, lightning strike has alright clearing speed from the start and one-handed maces are VERY cheap on poe.trade. If you have a Templar, Marrauder or Shadow character ready for respec you can switch a littlebit around in the tree for ALMOST the same result. Anyway, im not holding you up any longer. I wish you all the best of luck with this build guide. Enjoy!

Any questions? --> IGN: Kaoms_Heart

Even cheaper option:

Here are a few other tips for the starter:

1) Use Static Strike!!! It's OP as ****!
a: Static Strike (use at lvl1 exile if you have the gem) (Red Gem)
b: Weapon Elemental Damage (Attach when lvl12) (Red Gem)
c: Melee Phys. Damage (Starters Level 31) (Red Gem)
d: Increased Crit Damage (Starters level ?) (Blue Gem)

You can buy very cheap (1-5c) or even free items like



Use them to level and farm if you're a poor guy like me :P

Keep in mind that Static Strike is the key-gem here for leveling!
Special thank to HydraNL for helping out on this!



50 Point tree: (Take life nodes on the way if wanted / Required)


80 Point tree: NOTE! Always be available to pick up the int/dex/str nodes! (Take life nodes on the way if wanted / Required)


Your end game tree 100+ (How i have/like it, However please use some common sense and get life if you want a more tanky version):

Thank you for checking out my build guide on this lightning based warrior.

wtf u only got a 5l and ur only lvl 75 and your doing nearly 100k dps?
can you explain to me how you have 100k dps with just a 5l? never seen numbers this big with static strike. and your gear isn't even that pretty. clap clap*
how much health u got and can we see some videos? any curse on hit links you use? what about any self cast or cwdt setups?

just please tell me these numbers are real...
