[3.18] CI Int-Stack Lightning Strike Build | Raider | Sentinel | Path of Exile 3.18

Hey guys, int stack lightning strike raider build is here. Using Doryani's Prototype and this item has "Nearby Enemies have Lightning Resistance equal to yours" mod. So we reduce our lightning resist as much as we can. Also using Hand of Wisdom and Action (Howa) and this item gives us "Adds 1 to 10 Lightning Damage to Attacks with this Weapon per 10 Intelligence". This is how this build scales. I manage to hit 1706 int at level 96.
