Do you have your Doryanis merc up and running already?

Cuz thats where most of the dmg is coming from for any lightning build this league.
Yeap i got merc gear -150 lightning res
Ok im assuming the merc is active and survives the content you are doing.

If thats the case, then enemies already have -150 lighting res, which means the lightning pen support gem doesnt do much simply because there isnt much left to penetrate.


Next you went for Playmath ascendancy and I dont think this build needs the ES sustain portion of this at all, which means its a pure dmg pick.

However, Swift Killer would result in 5 frenzy charges providing 4% more dmg and 4% inc atk speed each for a total of 20% more dmg and 20% inc atk speed.
Polymath cant compete with that at all currently because you only have 5 or 6 Masteries for 10-12% more dmg. You´d need at least double that to make it competetive.

Id suggest to go for a mark on hit setup with poachers mark and then invest 4 points into "Mark the Prey" on the tree plus the frenzy mastery. Thats enough for a solid frenzy upkeep and should always be maxed out while bossing.


Depending on the supportgem of your choosing to replace lighting pen, this should result in some 40-50% more dmg, which does include the extra atk speed from frenzies already.

Down the road, as you keep leveling and picking up more masteries, Polymath might end up being the better chioce but for now its not - unless you do need the recovery portion of Polymath to survive but I highly doubt that.

Thank you for help
You can also buy a "Light of the Meaning" with lightning damage, it's around 5 div. Put it in the jewel slot near Acuity. Make sure to get quality on your gems.
Done

Thx for helping
