Leveling Guide
Yellow Rune-keeper, built for high-burst damage.
Lightning RK got some nerfs, and it is very behind the top dogs of DPS (Champ, Hunter, Warden etc.). They have quite a lot of RNG as well when it comes to their DPS, thus not making it a very reliable choice for serious endgame content.
For stats you’ll focus on Critical Rating -> Tactical Mastery -> (Enough)Finesse -> Tact/Phys Mitigations -> Vitality
After that you should focus on getting your finesse up to at least 25% but it is recommended to get to 30% for higher tier instances, as otherwise a your attacks may be resisted in T3 and higher content.
Once your Finesse target has been met you should focus on slotting Vitality essences and then Tactical Mitigation essences.
