· Helm: +3 lightning tree (blue circlet) with 2 Rainbow Facets.
· Amulet: +3 lightning tree (blue amulet).
· Ring: +1 all skills (SoJ, BKWB) x2.
· Belt: +1 all skills (Arachnid Web).

· Large charms: +3 all skills (Hellfire Torch).

______
Level 56 lightning/53 LM: 47-67,985 damage.

Damage with Griffon's Eye with 1 Rainbow Facet: 46-63,475.


Crazy damage, more average damage than king fireball. The fact that Griffon's Eye does less damage than a plain socketed lightning circlet is surprising, but it will probably do more actual damage if monster resistances are not dropped to -100% yet. The difference in damage is only 7%, so if a monster's resistance is -86% or higher, Griffon's Eye will do more damage. But yeah, we have conviction and LR, so screw Griffon's Eye

It works as you are used to unless you play 1.13a (which is not supported on Battle.net: public testing of Patch 1.13a on the Classic Beta server, AKA the Public Test Realm (PTR), ended long ago).

Only the most recent patch (currently 1.13d) is available for play on Battle.net.

According to our wiki, the synergy bonuses do not apply to minimum damage, so the minimum values should be adjusted to 7 or 8 (depending on facets inserted into sockets).
I did not check the maximum, but it is fairly straightforward to calculate from your post and the data in our wiki:

Base: http://wiki.theamazonbasin.com/index.php/Lightning (MinLD=1, MaxLD: jump to Level 1-60 stats)
Synergy: +% MaxLD = 8 · (Charged Bolt.blvl + Nova.blvl + Chain Lightning.blvl)
Mastery: http://wiki.theamazonbasin.com/index.php/Lightning_Mastery (add +% LSD from equipment)

Synergy and Mastery bonuses multiply. Integer division (truncate).
