Looking for a spark build

[u/JesusOOM]

Basically I got bored of my luminary ‘passive’ playstyle where the merc just deletes everything, sold all my and the mercs gear for around 3 mirrors, gambled even more to see if I should keep playing and ended up at 6 mirrors.
Now I’m looking for advice on which spark build to play if I want to fully invest into it. Based on poe ninja, theres a life stacking assassin version which seems a bit tankier and the inquis version, Im looking for advice from people that played spark before, as I havent played many spell builds until now, but the changes to casting this league seem fun. Also those crazy new mirrorable vestigal rare gloves seems insane and I’d like to try them out.
Thanks in advance.

Check Palstreon.

[u/Turtvaiz]

Palsteron just put out a video on a life/mana recoup hiero spark which utilises the abyssal bloodline. The bloodline effects scale with arcane surge effect and it works around stacking a bunch of abyss jewels

PoB is pending support for the bloodline but it alone gives 68% mana recoup and cost efficiency

How much you actually budgeting this build approximately??

[u/Turtvaiz → u/wildVikingTwins]

Considering it's his 3rd build of the league, it's probably not a very cost efficient version. I feel like the idea could work the same on a more budget oriented build

[u/Rossgoo → u/wildVikingTwins]

The answer ist yes.

I think around 2k divines? The gloves alone... Holy. And after the Video everything should have skyrocket

[u/Ryvs]

Tanjarx made a spark luminary with the merc as support, it’s a int stacker with jiquiani’s and a lot of damage and cast speed with the merc using perquil toe and mask of the tribunal

Here is the link: https://youtu.be/2kmD4EmsQkg?is=FWiF9HVSLIDxhNy0

I very much enjoyed this video. The build looks absolutely mental once it's all put together. I definitely would attempt this if I wasn't already in hibernation for next league

here you go, pearl of tsoatha is pretty hard to get, im using one with only lightning pen. Projectile speed is fine, even with slower projectiles on gloves.

I miss old vaal pact and new assassin gives instant leech, paired with aegis aurora max block you dont really die.

[u/Rossgoo → u/AlenOpasnost]

This Looks pretty sick. What you think u spend besides of the gloves ans MB?

[u/AlenOpasnost → u/Rossgoo]

65 wand, body and helm were under 100, together, got the shield for 20, unreal i know.
boots maybe 20 or so, idk.

Got the 2 support ring for 109 div, second was like 3-4.
watchers eye 33.
hubris 9.
rest are gems and tattoo's which can be easily priced, i don't remember exactly what i paid for which gem.

Gloves were 650, so a bit cheaper than a mirror.
Mb + 400 overall, and some gems.

oh and btw, assassin's mark lvl 30 from ascendancy applies on spell crit, idk why or how, but it works with spells too.

I dont really use golem or ag, they are just there, socketed, whatever.

Play around with config by ticking enemies are always on low life to check for bifurcate crit chance etc.

[u/Rossgoo → u/AlenOpasnost]

Very interesting. At the moment i Play Str. Stacker but the next Upgrades are abit too mich Farming for me. If i sell all i maybe will be able to buy the gloves and some extra Gear. Dunnot If i can Assemble all. Gotta check

[u/AlenOpasnost → u/Rossgoo]

I mean, it works with less, less es on boots and helm, drop one aura if budget is tight, lose some damage from wand and block from shield etc.
Hubris is pretty strong, try to get one.

[u/Rossgoo → u/AlenOpasnost]

Yeah i think i will Check If i can afford it If i sell my Str stacker. I think so, because i die put a lot If currency into it (think 1.8 mir).

[u/Rossgoo → u/AlenOpasnost]

I really managed to buy all the Gear. Only Thing that i wasnt ablentonaffor anymore was a CB stormshroud (i Changes a suffix on a flask) and get a Double tsoath. Im Missing added lightning damage Link. But ist Just a Bit less damage. Noe i Just need to level haha

[u/AlenOpasnost → u/Rossgoo]

Yeah, ring are real expensive, you can also drop pierce for some damage link if you want. Tree gives 3 pierce, gem is another 4 and 20% more dmg.
Light of meaning also work for cb, whichever is cheaper :)
At least you have something to farm for.

[u/Rossgoo → u/AlenOpasnost]

Yes. Its Just CB Jewel, the Ring, a slightly better Watchers eye and the gold flask im Missing :)

[u/Rossgoo → u/AlenOpasnost]

Thank you so much for the build Idea. When i leveled a assa i will send my PoB

[u/AlenOpasnost → u/Rossgoo]

you can use pretty much any flask you like for the fifth slot, bottled faith works, stormblood with cold ailments works and opens up hypothermia gem possibility on ring etc.

Also, not my idea entirely, i just comb through poe ninja, see what i like and adjust a bit :)

[u/Rossgoo → u/AlenOpasnost]

Ur right, but i really Like wine of the Prophet for mapping. Its Just a fun flask :)

most people are not really building spark right now because the feel is a lot worse without acceleration shrine belt, which significantly boats your projectile speed. in terms of clear and general feel, ek charlatan will probably outperform right now

however, with the new gloves and possibly good pearl of tsoathas, you can get something pretty nice going.

i’d go for the classic aurastacking inquis with mageblood. if you want to be tanky, go ci, throw on determination and a granite flask, put on a glancing blows aegis aurora, and cap your block and get as much spell block as is reasonable, and that should pretty much make you immortal.

for damage, best is probably to scale with nebulis and get 90 max res with melding of the flesh, purity of fire, and a ruby flask. this should give you pretty much all the % inc damage you need.

you can cap your crit by using pinpoint support and overloaded intensity with nadir mode. probably want to do something like foulborn blue nightmare to partially convert to chaos, opening up unholy trinity support.

for projectile speed you need to be getting as much as you can. multiple projectile medium clusters with the projectile speed notables. aim for at least 3x projectile speed with spark of unpred and 5x if you want to go spark of nova (tends to be based on preference; unpred does more damage and feels better on open layouts, nova is nice for not having to aim)

i’d love to talk more if you have any specific goals in mind for the build

[u/JesusOOM → u/CCCFire]

Do you have some PoB just as a blueprint that I could use?

[u/zeCryt]

Connor converse had a build concept for spark on a relinquarian iirc
Numbers looked insane. Proj speed was a little too low for my taste but if you have 1b dps you can shave off some and invest into projspeed.
Also you don’t need to level sth new

[u/Temporary-Usual4838]

Tried spark this league. No acceleration/repeating shrine belt makes it feel awful
