After messing around, I finally got a build to work decently.

6/2/0/0/6. D/D. All three arcane skills with arcane brilliance. If you get the jump on someone, you’ll win; if you get jumped on, you die.

You play this build by just hanging around one of your teammates and try to initiate after they do, or joining fights already happening. Do your best to not get hit by any type of AoE when initiating and avoid minions as much as possible. Your only defense is timely using your Arcane Shield , rolling, and quickly switching to your water arcana once you’ve exhausted all your abilities.

This build is pretty difficult to execute correctly since you’ll have to predict when the enemy will roll after you initiate. If you mistime one of your abilities, you’ll lose out on a lot of damage, which will probably end up killing you in a 1v1 situation. Often times Ride the Lightning will be on cooldown so you’ll have to make due with just popping lighting 3 and running in.

It’s been a long time since I played this game so this build has probably been done a million times before but I just wanted to share that this build is fun and challenging for anybody looking to try out an Ele build :p
