It could be an idea to think of builds that could be good for starters, and not especially item dependent, when you begin on the ladder and have nothing to twink to your characters.
The most obvious would be a holy shock paladin. With holy shock and both damage synergies at level 20, you can reach near 1-4000 lightning damage per strike. And it doesnt cost any mana! And its independent of your weapon. Though you may need something for crowd control, and better AR.
One question though. Ive heard conflicting things about physical attack skills with elemental components, that you dont need AR for the elemental component, that it would autohit. But you would need AR to conect with the physical part.
So in this case, could you merely go along with 4 levels of zeal for max swings, and deal out a lot of lightning damage fast?
