Hello and welcome back to a new video.

So today I want to show you my bestest,

most powerful DPS lightning build for, uh,

endgame.

So I got my DPS for Galvanic Shards all

the way up to 1510.

I got 4 support gems.

I got this one This one, uh, this one and

this one.

So basically they all do about 25 to 30%

increased damage each.

So the negatives are I don't inflict shock

anymore because of this one, but I don't

really care about shock.

Shock's stupid.

We're just going for pure DPS, no crits.

Who cares about crits and who cares about

ailments?

And we got heft, 30% maximum physical

damage.

So the way I got this up so high was

basically I got these new gloves.

So if I take the gloves off, look, it

drops all the way down to 1310.

I put the gloves on, it goes all the way

up to 1510.

The gloves alone give me 200 extra DPS.

So the way it does this is by adding 2 to

41 lightning damage to attacks.

So it's like a random RNG.

And I got these gloves just by gambling on

the vendors, and I just blew all my gold.

I had about 100,000 gold, now I've only

got 10,000.

I bought about 5 different gloves and this

one had the lightning damage bonus, so

that's really good.

I tried to find a new belt because I

noticed my belt doesn't really do anything

for my DPS, just gives me some max life,

chaos resistance, life regen.

I want to get a new belt with lightning

damage, but it's been hard.

I've gone through like 20 different belts

now, can't find a new belt.

Maybe this one has a belt.

No,

I want any piece of gear that can increase

my lightning damage, really, but they

don't have anything

as of right now.

No, nothing.

I don't know if there's another vendor.

I know there's 2 there and there's Alva.

I haven't really explored this area.

There's nothing in here,

I don't think.

Oh, well, these— oh, there's 2 NPCs here.

Oh, they got items.

Oh, belts!

Well, these— oh, this guy's got belts.

Chaos resistance, max life.

Mana recovery resistance, don't want that.

Oh, you need Black Scythe artifacts to buy

these.

I don't even know where you get that.

And you got this guy, what does he sell?

You need Order artifacts.

I have never seen an Order artifact

before.

And you got one here, Gwynn.

You need broken circle artifacts.

This gear's not even good,

so yeah, I don't know why you'd bother

with that.

And then you got your benches here.

Salvaging bench.

I've never used the reforging belt.

I don't know what it does.

Can I put these there?

No,

no idea.

Don't know if there's anything up here.

So yeah, my galvanic shards do insane DPS

now.

Look, 15, 10.

I'll show you how powerful it is.

Hold on.

And then my build, basically just pure

DPS.

DPS, DPS, lightning, DPS, DPS, projectile

damage.

I want to get these.

Look, this increases your attack damage by

10%, 16% when you have an ally.

I don't have an ally.

Uh, I don't know what else can increase my

DPS really.

This is really good, it gives you huge

damage bonuses to 2-handed weapons.

This is really good elemental damage

increase.

This is really good lightning damage

increase.

That's just attack speed.

I need these,

uh, because my bow needs 95 strength and

dex.

My bow is insane.

Look at the 64 to 260 physical damage.

I've never seen a bow do that much damage.

My bow is so good.

It costs 30,000 gold as well.

Okay, so we're gonna do a tier 2.

Tier 2.

I can't seem to be able to find any tier 4

or 5s anymore.

All I get are tier 2s.

Kind of annoying.

I don't know where you get them from.

And then you run out and all you can buy

are tier 1s.

They only sell tier 1s at the vendor.

Okay, so watch this.

I've also got 8 bolts on my galvanic

shards because I boosted my galvanic

shards up to level 17 and I kept putting

the Prism Cutter gems on it.

Now I've got a quality of 20%, which for

some reason gives you an extra bolt.

So I've got 8 bolts.

Watch this.

Oh my God, why am I getting stunned.

Look at the health bars just get wrecked.

There's a lot of them here.

Oh, I just destroyed those big fat

gorillas.

Everything gets wrecked.

Look at that,

look at all the gold.

Look, I can nearly one-shot them.

With just one galvanic shard.

So

good.

It's fun grouping them up together like

this and then just spray them with

lightning.

They also get pushed back a bit.

I might do more DPS if I didn't lose the

ability to shock.

I don't know, shocking only makes them

take 20% more damage,

but the gem I put on gives me 25% bonus

damage all the time, not just when they

get shocked.

They don't always get shocked.

But what you could do is this: if you

switch out Elemental Focus for

Innervate,

okay, the DPS goes down, but you get 35%

bonus damage when you kill something

that's shocked.

So now I can shock them.

Uh, you— when you get the orb, that means

you've got the 35% bonus.

So if I get the orb— whoa, that just came

out of nowhere.

You see, I just killed all them, none of

it gave me the shock boost.

Oh look, now I got it, but it only lasts

about 4 seconds.

See, it's gone already.

So you need to get it whilst you're

spraying into a group of enemies.

There's barely any enemies on this map.

Where are they all?

But I got it now, so I should be getting—

oh, did you see it?

1730.

I need to put it up whilst I have it.

Look, 1621, 1730.

I keep trying to roll and closing that

screen down.

Look, look, look, 1730 DPS now.

So yeah, you get way more DPS when you

have that, but it's not 100% guaranteed

you're gonna get it all the time.

Look, I got it now.

I get it after I've killed everything,

that's the problem.

Oh, shield.

Oh, I leveled up.

It's like half a billion XP points to the

next level.

Yeah, this is pretty good roll right here

when you just go from group to group, do

some pretty good damage.

Oh my god.

Look at that.

Oh my god, I just got one fucking shot.

Well, there goes my tier 2 waystone.

I don't even know what happened.

I just got one shot.

So

annoying.
