The Charge Mastery skill lets you charge faster and last longer; the Elemental Attunement inflicts elemental effects on nearby enemies; and lastly, Fire Brand does additional fire damage.

Moving next to Frost Skills, upgrading Elemental Boon to rank 15 increases elemental damage and resistance for up to 12 meters. The Frost Phase teleports you within a 2.5-meter radius, and the Ice Prison traps enemies inside ice pillars and reflects damage. We have used the Ice Brand skill for the passive skill in this tier, which boosts the Ice Damage.

Lastly, in the shock/storm skill section, we recommend upgrading Prismatic Bolt to rank 15 to widen the attack radius on nearby enemies and increase damage potential. Death’s Bounty again at rank 15 to prevent the usage of potions for health regeneration. We have chosen the Lightning Brand to boost the lightning damage for the passive skill.
