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

Hello friends,

first of all thx for this great build, it is my first character ever as a new player and i really enjoy it!!

My question for this build: should i use spark or vaal spark? Cause i got the corrupted version few days ago but i am not sure if i should drop my almost lvl20 spark for that one ( both wothout quality btw)

Thx for your time and greetings from germany ;)

Hi,
Thank you for keeping the build up-to-date !

Could you please advise me on my gear ? What is good, what is wrong...



I can do Uber Elder but it's... painful.
Also, should I get a trap setup to do Uber Atziri ?

lvl 21 spark 20 quality is more than enough (if on a budget buy lvl 20 20% quality for few chaos)

vaal spark same is nice but not needed

I used a 6 link lightning spire helm to do uber atziri, as well as all other bosses, but have since transitioned out of it. Might want to just pay a boss killer 50c to do that challenge for you lol. But it certainly is a great option.

If you get a Warlords mark ring and Call of the brotherhood for your other ring, you can put enfeeble in the CWDT link and your survivability when mapping will go up greatly. Also add cinderswallow crit chance flask (make sure u get added fire dmg to spells on a jewel to proc this), and a basalt flask with rolled removes curses. Remove two of vinktar/granite/quicksilver. You can remove all your chaos resist gear if you simply pre-cast the atziri flask before going into Alva Temples, or whenever you see poison mobs, and that will let you put the resists lost from the rings onto your helmet/gloves/shield. I am able to keep all my flasks on 100% uptime, and -60 chaos resist is not noticeable. Having to rely on chaos res on gear instead of simply casting atziris promise really gimps your potential in other areas...

Headhunter will drop in price to around 40ex with this new temp league and if you can get that the power spike is bigger than anything else, but its also a really big investment.

Trying out this build as a huge pleb in PoE.

Why would 2 of your main skills 'spark and spire trap' use Controlled Destruction, if your build is all about crits as stated in the guide etc?

Thanks for the hard work! ^^

Controlled Destruction's "100% reduced" means minus 100% of the spell's basic chance to hit, not 100% less.

Spark's base crit chance is 6%. So it's -6% crit in exchange for a multiplicative 25-44% spell damnage (plus extra for quality) - which is a worthwhile trade off.

You can get an extra 6% crit elsewhere more easily than you can get that much spell damage.

It's all about the game's definitions of "more/less" (multiplicative) versus "increased/reduced" (additive) - https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Stat#Reduced

Aha! I was figuring it out myself in the meantime.

Thanks for the info Lakh!

Thank you a lot for this build, this was my first league since the game had 3 acts and i really enjoyed it a lot. I did (and still have) problems with bosses and I am taking a slightly different approach. I am using 6 power charges and blood rage + warlords ring (might not be number efficient but I enjoy it) and for mapping i switch hypothermia for faster projectiles, since most mobs are onehits anyway, so it seems more important to me that the sparks reach them more quickly for defensive purposes. For bosses I switch back to hypothermia. Some bosses and syndicate members just destroy me at tier 15+ - but that could be certain mods or such - I am still not knowledgable enough to judge most things in the game :) (also I dont even have my pantheon complete so...yeah, have to chase some challanges and completions now)

So here is my setup (I am running discipline when wrath is freed up):



Take care everyone!

PS: i love how versatile this build is - im changing out my gear for 250 movement speed (with flasks) and perma phasing with watchers eye/haste and go delving very efficiently in low levels. Personally luve the delve :)

I have my toon at lvl 90 now and I want to know what kind of Enchantments would

be for the build. Please list all 3 ( boots/gloves/helm ), thanks for the Kick

Azz guide.

Helm - 30% increased Spark Projectile Speed, or Spark fires 3 additional Projectiles


If you get 3 additonal projectiles, you better be using a faster proj gem and maybe even elder proj speed gloves.


Boots - 0.6% of Damage leeched as Life and Mana if You've Killed Recently

If you get those boots, you do not need to use Warlords Mark, and can opt for Enfeeble. However the boots do nothing against bosses that don't spawn adds. The strengths of the build lean towards mapping so for me I prefer these boots.

There's also crit chance, cast speed, etc, for boots, if you don't need the leech.
