Build Guide

this build relies on absorb shields instead of the damage reduction from the explosive blast orb.
you also get permanent 10% damage buff with the magic weapon, instead of the fluctuating 20% from the explosive blast orb that you have to keep hitting.
you get very fast attack speed on spectral blades to keep the shields at very high levels.

the dps on spectral blades is also high enough that it compensates for the lack of explosive blast.
it also allows you to stay at 100 % Arcane Power, so you can spam Arcane Orbs and still keep the Aquila cuirass buff up.
you can hit Arcane Orbs at 2 or 3 stacks of Arcane Dynamo, and at 5 stacks, to get more dps out.
the triumvirate buff will always be at maximum stacks.
On your gear, try to get/roll as much %arcane damage as possible, with as much area damage as possible. go for +% arcane orb damage and spectral blades damage when possible, of course.
Each bracers give you different defense type. one gives you more shields, the other gives more damage reduction in high density packs.
Just easily cleared a GR68, without any ancient item or any optimization on the gear
