cons:

Leveling:
After the skill gems tab there is an lvl explanation:
so for your Level Setup:
before arc:
spark - pierce - x
ember fussiliade - x
flamewall
should be enough in act1 to melt everything
Very important!!! With lvl 31 get Mana tempest ASAP as it will be your main dmg boost, it will give you crazy amounts of lightning damage that will solve your single target problem until you get cast on shock comet!
with arc:
- Arc - Arcane tempo/controlled destruction - Unleash - controlled destruction/arcane tempo
- curse: conductivity - heigtehened curse - focused curse / hex bloom
- orb of storms - chain
- raging spirit - fire infusion / x
- Mana tempest (gem at lvl 31) - inspiritation- murderous intent
rota -> cast curse -> cast orb of storms -> cast mana tempest -> arc
boss play:
cast, conductivity, orb of storms and then spam arc, with that combo I manage to down the single target encounters atleast not that bad.
Ascendency:
go for 6 - 8 - 9 - 1

FAQ:
When MOM?:
Take Mind over matter when you have enough mana (around 2.5k - 3k mana, and take eldritch battery only when you have Everlasting gaze and 2.5k Energy shield after Eldritch battery)
bugs:
Chain support is bugged (doesnt scale with the remaining damage per chain from arc - so huge dps loss in single target)
Quality for arc doesnt do anything
t15 viable?:
yes melting everything in maps
pinnacle viable?:
killed citadel boss, with more gear invested 100%

Excellent guide, thanks for writing out all the info.
If shock/archmage gets nerfed do you think people will transition to this build?
Did not watch videos; can you touch on how often conduit is triggering? Cast on shock’s energy generation isn’t great
Im only lvl 41 but Im gonna check it out :)
Hey, the build looks really interesting, thanks for sharing. I've tried arc during lving and while i liked to a degree, some bugs I've encountered were really frustrating. One is the one you've mentioned with chain support, the other, and I wonder if you've noticed it too, during the campaign, whenever I would use arc on a pack of two monsters, it would not chain between. It would chain one time from one to the other and then just stop. When having three monsters it would work as expected and continue chaining. It's probably not an issue later on or in general, but it was really annoying for me, as the skill seemed just bugged.
I just started playing something similar (captainlances version) and am having a blast. Visually it's awesome too. I feel like emperor palptaine shooting all the lazers haha
Edit: added captainlance name
I'd really like to try this build I'm just so confused how to get mana I'm at 2.1k mana using MOM and EB. Do I need high energy sheld and high max mana on all my gear? I hate to admit but I'm bad at math and not sure how the increases work on gear besides "max mana" i also don't have many exalts and so far in t1 maps the drops are BAD I get almost nothing but white items. I've only done 1 t2 map and struggled badly with dmg
