Best Class/Build for Pure Lightning Fun

[Rochambeaux]

Loving the game but haven't been able to pin down what (if any) class/build shined with a lightning damage focus, for viability and sheer visual fireworks :)

Suggestions?

Not sure about end game viability, but storm totem is pretty good on the visual sense. You could also do lightning javelin + electrify smite + healing hands. I've done lightning mage a bit, but I don't remember what was visually appealing.

Pure lightning? Sorcerer. Several skills have element modifiers to go lightning, the teleport can have lightning damage bolted on so you can zap while you zoom. Tons of ward generation so very viable, you'll probably need to get up over 100+ before you start running into actual challenges.

Shaman has a lot of lighting, but much of it has secondary damage from spells that proc it (maelstrom doing cold damage and proc lightning strikes, etc...). But hey, if you want to be the storm that approaches... Shaman is fun. Maybe not 'meta', but fun. I just wish there was an autocast function that was built into the game instead of needing to exploit a bug.
