It is like ravagerx says axe is the bread and butter skill for warrs, well then lightning is the same for mages. Even in tombs I prefer lightning with 3 perks over FB.
Although lightning gives massive damage, it only targets one enemy at a time, I feel like lightning split is way to hard to activate, I prefer FB, Ice, clock, and believe it or not shield, shield is OP for those troll one hit shots in elite. Then I just switch clock out for lighting when I reach the boss.
