Here’s a quick league starter for POE 3.22. We have first on the list, Lightning Conduit.
Why Do We Use Lightning Conduit For League Start?
This is pretty easy to league start even with a bunch of powerful unique items. We can still get more than 4 million DPS, which is exactly what you need to unlock your Watchstones and progress the Atlas.
Trust me, when I say this is a tested league starter, I will show you how to level this build from Act 1 to endgame. We have a basic defensive structure if we are using a Lightning Coil with Determination. We don’t have a spell suppression and our spell block is as low as 8%.
So, this can be considered as a jump starter Glass Cannon build if you are looking to kill stuff fast and get killed fast.
We will run Elemental Overload, which means forgetting about Critical Strikes.
Unique Items
And we are dual wielding two Singularities.
Our main source of five-link comes from this cheap Thunderfist Murder Mitts gloves, which grants a level 30 added lightning damage support.
Some of Exiles out there might say I think that’s expensive, especially on a league start. Well, I’ve got news for you more runs. It’s pretty freaking expensive at seven Chaos Orbs. So, deal with it.
Other super expensive stuff includes one Chaos Orb Valako’s Sign ring and 10 Chaos Orbs Crown of the Inward Eye helmet. Everything else is just rare POE Items with spell damage, cast speed, life, and resistances.
Cluster Jewels
If you can manage to get a large Cluster Jewel with the Overshock (Chimeric Shine) and a medium cluster duel with Heraldry (Phoenix Shard).
Then, that’s a 1 million extra damage for you.
Gem & Skill Setup
Our basic gem setup includes a four-link Orb of Storms with Unbound Ailments, Increased AOE, and Chain Support.
Lightning Conduit is linked to our five-link gloves with Elemental Focus, Lightning Penetrate and Hypothermia. Do not use Hypothermia until you unlock your final lab for Shaper of Winter. Use Arcane Surge Support until then.
We have a double curve setup for Conductivity and Elemental Weakness linked to the Arcanist Brand or Aura setup includes Wrath, Determination and Herald of Thunder.
Since we are using Determination our Guard Skill is a Molten Shell on left click.
Our movement ability is better than Leap Slam. When you use a Lightning Warp, you need to bring down its duration as much as possible. For this, we have less duration support, faster casting, and swift affliction support.

Leveling With Lightning Tendrils
Next is the most important part, which is leveling. So, make sure to follow this carefully. We don’t have access to Lightning Conduit until Act 3.
So, instead, our main skill is going to be Lightning Tendrils. This is a great skill in my opinion. Do not take Elemental Overload Keystone until you swap to Lightning Conduit.
All of the stones with Lightning Tendrils are great for both clearing and single target. You gotta use Increased Critical Damage support and Infuse Channeling support for Lightning Tendrils.
If you have a fourth slot, use Control Destruction or added Lightning Damage support.
Passive Tree Leveling Order
When you start the passive skill tree, you can grab the cast speed instead of the small spell damage nodes.
Make sure to grab the Elemental Overload once you swap to Lightning Conduit.
Leveling Weapons
You can duel wield any weapon with modifiers, such as cast speed, lightning damage, and +1 to lightning spell skill gems.
