Newish player here doing my first full league, so I might have some noob questions. Enjoying the build about to reach 75 and use the Doryani Scepter I bought. I like how shield charge works with the abyss helm which shoots off the spirit spell which can just keep chaining as I go along. Reminds me of Cospri's.

I chose GC variant because I had some lvl 20 gems laying around from another build. I also chose it because of some good cold gems I had and lastly because I couldn't understand why you would want to have multiple spells (LT and Spark) and then throw in an attack skill (BV) since it won't take advantage of cast speed or vice versa. So can somebody explain that? Seems inefficient.

Secondly, Blood Rage. Since I'm doing all casting, is this spell really worth it? I've not done the boss kill to capture the pantheon. So should I ditch for now? What would be a good replacement?

Lastly, I've been following the PoB for the GC variant which puts spark in a 4 link gloves and LT/GC in the chest. Since I'm using spark 90% of the time and only using LT/GC for single target, does it really make sense to be wasting 5-6 links on it?

Thanks again for the build, it's been fun so far. I've played a GC totem, a Ngamahu MS, and a Cold Poet Pen build this season. This so far is right up there with any of them in enjoyment.

Firstly, i'm glad that you're enjoying the build along with the rest of us!
BV (Blade Vortex) is a physical SPELL and therefore will benefit from cast speed and also the increased duration nodes near the Scion start for a little bit of QoL.

Blood Rage is absolutely worth it for map clearing even without the Soul of Arakaali shenanigans since the increased attack speed and frenzy charge generation improves your shield charge movement speed.

Finally, Spark clears trash on a 4-link with the appropriate setup and therefore those extra 2 links are technically "wasted" when you could use GC in a 6-link where those links actually contribute to how fast you kill the boss. It's essentially, would you rather have a 5-10% increase in map clear speed or 40-50% increase in boss killing speed? If you're like me and using the build purely for speedy map clearing (no bosses) then you would pick the map clear option, if you're like Bashtart who designed this build to be an all-rounder then you'd pick the boss killing speed.

Hope this information helped!

First of all, really want to thank you, BashTart, so much for such a detailed guide. Your build looks really cool and fast in the video, i'm totally intrigued and started lvling a templar lately. I like your idea to use dual totem for leveling. I wonder if you could show me some examples what kinda of main hand and off hand that I should look for one poe.trade during leveling, please. Forgive me if my question is too noobs above, cuz i rarely played totem before, not so sure how to scale up offense. Really appreciate it.

Bash do you mind taking a second to look over my build? It's pretty close to yours but I feel like I'm missing something, I just have absolutely no idea what. Or maybe I'm ready to take on endgame bosses.

Should I change my Ventor's for a Berek's or a rare or just leave it? Maybe one or two of my gems aren't good. I'm missing something and it's making me crazy lol.

Did you get the spark helm enchant yourself or buy it? it's like 2ex right now.

Really appreciate, Bash. So, the weapon should have Add # elemental to spell/Attack speed/%Inc Crit Chance? Am I right?

Im curious what your overall dps in abyss league is? Has your setup changed any from what you posted? I am using a spell crit dagger and shield rather than a doryani's and a chernougs along with a pair of voidwalker and i feel more tanky and about 10k more tooltip and 30k more effective dps.

Hi bashtart's im really having fun with your build, I wanna show some things i did that really worked to me:

Ill post my gear first

I changed to a dagger now with nice results, boost my damage on BV not a lot, but on spark like 15kdps. I got a pair of gloves that leech mana like @Thared, its a lot of help, and got a pair with blind too, so you blind enemys almost all the time, the other thing its that perfect form its really defensive, i dont see the need to use inpulsa, i use clarity aura + Wrath, with a watchers eye thats converts 9% of damage taken from mana, for mom, and hunted a choirs of the storm to that refills some of my mana on hit, gl and great build, wish any of my suggestions can help anyone.
