This guide intends to get you through the campaign up to level 60. From this point, you can choose an Endgame build and enter the monolith endgame system. 

Playstyle and Mechanics

Here we Teleport from pack to pack, unspecc’d until later levels, to speed up our campaign progress. Using Lightning Blast to take down enemies as you arrive and triggering Runic Invocation with either 2 or 3 GON runes depending on the situation. Using 2x runes will trigger Sea of Sparks which will affect a larger area of damage while using 3x runes will trigger Ball Lightning for better single target damage. Flame ward can be triggered for survival or a damage boost as needed

For an additional boost in damage in bossing or elite encounters, you can trigger Static for a burst of damage to take their health down fast. 

Gear Suggestions

While leveling, focus on gear that enhances your lightning damage, health, and INT.

For leveling the mage with this guide either through drops or Rune of Ascendance look out for these leveling Uniques that will make your life easier

Fragment of the Enigma - This unique off-hand gives us a great amount of damage by boosting the Spark Charge ability that we apply with our Mana Strike. It will also give an additional level to our lighting skills but isn’t available to use until later in your leveling journey

Prism Wraps - Prism Wraps is a great body armor for us as it gives us enhanced survivability and damage.

Avarice - These gloves help with survivability by converting elemental damage to health leeched

Tome of Elements - This relic is a great addition as it provides us with some survivability that synergizes with Prism Wraps and Avarice which helps maintain our shock on enemies.
