[3.10] Bashtart's SPARK INQUISITOR * farming like a god! :)

Hi,

I'm pretty happy with this build. It took some time to get into it but i think I'm on a good way.

But there is one thing I don't understand. From time to time I stand somewhere sending out my sparks. There are a few monsters on the edge of the screen. Nothing is close to me. And then my life begins to drain down the bubble like someone has pulled the plug out of it. If I don't manage to press my life flask immediatly I die in less than 3 seconds.

What is this and how can I handle it?

It just happened again. Seems that most times there are some purple skeletons around.

Hi, I was wondering how did you get the spider looking thunders? Is it a specific skill or something to do with support gems.

I would drop vinktars and get a life/mana hybrid flask. This flask will help you for example to survive when chimera is in smokephase.



I just had an crazy idea... maybe you wanna try it out because I think it could be really good for our survivability. Chernobog Pillar shield ... I feel this could be really good because it gives so much armor, a 25% to curse enemies on hit with enfeeble, more or less that means every enemies will be cursed. Then 25% convertion from phy to fire that means you cold drop hrims and get better way better gloves. In addition it would open up some gems slots... I am kinda excited I really wanns try this out but now I have to go to bed. Tomorrow :)


I'm using this shield and indeed, it's pretty good for survivability.

The only downside is the lack of all resistances, which I need to balance with others itens. Here are my current gear (ignore the armor and helm, still farming xD)

Love the build, thank you very much!

I am still on a 5L and Single Target with BV seems kinda low... any suggestions besides a 6L?

It's a microtransaction effect:

Two things come into my mind... bleeding or poison. There are some nasty death poison effect which can be really dangerous when you have -60 chaos resistance. If it is bleeding stop moving and use your bleeding flask and for poison get out of that effect asap (some green groundeffect).

@lolepple: as most crit builds it scales pretty crazy as more as you invest and the better your gear becomes. Jewel are really good to scale the dmg... try to get multiple „crit multipliers“. Maybe you also need to convert more than 50% of the bv dmg to ele dmg.

Sounds good, thanks for the advice!
Any good advice on how to convert more dmg to Ele? Never really played a proper conversion build :)

Thanks again, lovely build!
One thing to notice, maybe only for new players, is that even the spark skill (on this build) is release in a nova way, the front of the player must be unobstructed. This can be obvious, but I died some times until I realize it.

That's explain why most of my deaths were on closed spaces and why in open spaces I kill pretty well.

Here is a short video explaining what I'm talking about:

Atm I am testing chernobog‘s pillar which has really great synergies with this build and gives us so much survivability. Additionally it coverts 25% of phy to fire. I think I will drop my +80 chaos shield and use a 1 chaos chernobog‘s pillar. I am still testing but it seems really promising.

it will be expensive, cause if u want to equip chernobog's , then you should buy ~1ex gloves, ~1ex ring and good belt, because of resistance lack, but for newbies they can equip good amulet with resists, but then, when they need to switch to lapis amulet, it will be around 300c to change all things with chernobog's and capped resists
