A tanky, triple barrier, chill/freeze based Chain Lightning build using the 1h wand The Oculus + The Barber wrathful heart.

The vid is just to show you that the build has the damage to melt T100 with 6/7 glyphs pre level 100 and you could go Territorial on the 7th board over Tactician if you wanted to get tankier. If you're out of pots, life on kill on helm/totem or both will help you sustain back up, it's your only source of sustain outside of pots. 6 boards can be completed by approximately level 95 but you'd need every single node for the 7th. Try find an Oculus with at least +9 ranks to Teleport and high item power (over 800 is solid). +10 is the dream. More clears to come with full build soon. If you've got any questions free to leave a comment.

Notes:
- Tal Rasha heart was bugged and gave additive not multiplicative damage, this has been fixed so the build is now stronger than ever!
-  6/7 glyphs used all level 21. Tactician OR Territorial on the 7th board. Territorial gives 15% (buffed by 5% in 1.1.1) close damage reduction but additive damage so would do a lot less than Tactician (x10% dmg).
- Level 5 3.1s Barber, level 4 19.5% Revenge & 11.8%/8s Tal Rasha hearts used. Go 3.0s - 3.2s max Barber, 3.0s being ideal. Yet to drop a 4.0s Barber to test.
- 20/20 paragon renown used.
- Static Surge does not affect your mana sustain with the use of a +3.0 (max) Recharging aspect + perma Unleash.
- Unleash glyph over Enchanter. x6.7% multiplicative dmg over Enchanter's additive dmg and frees up more nodes so we can get even tankier! Unleash procs every 2 CLs (about 28 mana each with 30% mana cost red). The x6.7% mana regen is why we can drop Static Surge, is nice with Recharging aspect bounces and scales with your willpower.
- Lightning Spear is used for the free 2s stuns, nice with Control glyph, Everliving aspect and for general survivability vs non-bosses. Note: bosses can't be stunned. Another option is 3/3 in Convulsions if you ceebs casting LS, I use AutoHotkey. LS has a small cast delay which could fuck you.
- Life on kill on helm/focus are personal pref, could go armor % on helm or dmg red on focus. 100% flexible. You have no sustain outside of pot.
- Your evade charges are actual Teleports in random directions which proc your Protection/Shimmering Teleport (30% dmg red/30% hp shield) 
- Protection barrier doesn't stack.
- May need + all stats instead of life on kill on totem or max life on chest/pants if you can't reach all rare paragon board node requirements. You can also move some willpower to int etc. nodes around based on your stats.

1.1.1 changes that affect the build:
Greater Chain Lightning
- Each time Chain Lightning bounces, it deals 5% increased damage for its duration.
Aspect of Unbroken Tether
- Additional Chain Lightning bounces increased from 2 to 4.
These two buffs will be insane for Barber and as chain lightning can still bounce through you (base spell effect), will increase single target damage too.
Recharging Aspect
- Each time Chain Lightning bounces, you gain 1.5-3 Mana. Better than Prodigy?
Aspect of Frozen Orbit
- Damage increased from 20-30% to 30-40%.
Oppressive Rare Node
- Damage red from Vulnerable enemies increased from 4% to 5%
Smoldering Embers Rare Node
- Damage red from burning enemies increased from 4% to 5%.
- Bonus damage redfrom burning enemies increased from 4% to 5%.

Why Oculus over a 2h staff?

- Use with Tactician glyph, x10% damage for 4s after a defensive skill is used.
- Insane mobility on a base 4-5s cooldown.
- 30% dmg red off Shimmering Teleport and 30% max life shield off Protection for 3s which also works with every evade tp.
- More frequent unstoppable. Rotate with Flame Shield to break all crowd control.
- High + ranks paired with Revenge heart explosions, which procs every Teleport, adds free damage to Barber.
- Faster attacks per second, 1.20 vs 1.00. When used with Accelerating aspect, damage becomes comparable especially with a 4s Barber. 
- Higher base crit, cooldown and mana cost red due to use of a focus.
- As a melee build, Teleport being up frequently means we can reposition faster ontop of enemies to apply chill for Penitent Greaves and Hoarfrost. Note: Chilling bosses will build up their stagger meter but you don’t get the 10% PG bonus until they’re actually staggered. Elites and Champions can be chilled.
- Zoomies in town as Penitent Greaves gives movement speed on evade and Oculus gives +4 evade charges.
