Strategy
- Thunder Soul is foundational for a crit build. Shock and its secondary perks provide a massive bonus to crit chance.
- Conductive is a useful perk. Lightning Bolt deals significant damage, thus benefiting a lot from the increased proc chance.
- Shockwave is a useful perk, simply providing a sizeable damage bonus for a crit build.
- Sparkbane is an exceptionally powerful perk. Its Stagger chance doesn't scale with the fire rate of the player's weapon. As such, weapons with a fast rate of fire have a good chance of Staggering enemies over a period of time.
- Static Pulse is a dubious perk. Its damage sharing is not enough to be significant. Further testing is required to see whether its damage applies Shock.
