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

I'm new to this build and am trying to understand all the mechanics as I am moving to full lightning damage. I have picked up two which has brought my shock chance to 16%. It feels like a great buff to clear speed. Curious if anyone has tried this.

Can you guys check out my char “CromiSparks” and tell me ways to improve it. I think I’m doing alright but I could use some help whenever you get a chance.

Corrupt is super cheap and an insane value.


I may post some vids of my build but I may just make a new thread as I don't want to confuse people with another build variation (though overall it would be similar to the HoI / CotB variant).



Edit: Uber Elder down! Tough fight @.@

Gz... do you have UberElder on Vid I really would like to see that :)

Well If you like we could make a spoiler called "Low life ES setup by TheRealTuna" in the main post. Just write I reply where you explain your version and I just copy and paste it.

Your gear looks already pretty good but you don't use vaal spark and vaal blade vortex... why? I really would recommend to use the vaal skills because the make this build a lot stronger and more fun! Otherwise just improve piece by piece.

I am using both as Vaal. I think it shows up weird on the website right now since it’s supposed to have both tooltips. One problem I’m having though is that I’m a bit squishy, I need better jewels but besides that how can I get more life?

Thanks for the Youtube vid of full lightning WilliamCZE and the tips you made on it about using the abyss jewel and procing arcane surge first Bash - that should be helpful to me too shortly.

Currently in the process of swaping some gear around, but mostly still using the same stuff on my character as when I did Uber Elder. It was my second attempt on the fight so the clear wasn't super clean or anything, but he died in the end and that's what matters :d Next time I know to stack the shaper balls in a corner or something...the map gets super full by the end if not.

The biggest gear swap I will make as a result of the fight is the weapon...before I was using a higher damage rare sceptre with 1.25 APS, which was a little slower than what I'd like. I am currently working to craft a high speed sceptre (Karui Sceptre is 1.5 APS natural) and my current sceptre, although lower in DPS, is 1.9 APS. This makes moving around via shield charge way better, and I think the mobility tradeoff is probably worth some DPS fall off, especially for this kind of fight and probably general mapping as well.

Unfortunately, the drops from regular elder -- except a godly triple line watcher's eye -- are significantly more valuable in the current market than uber elder, so I'm not sure when I'll try again. Just happy to know it's doable with the build :d

Enjoy!

@TheRealTuna: Pretty nice job with UberElder! I was not sure if it was doable with this build ;) btw. I kinda hate you for that automation herald... I just love those red laser beams! I did spend all my points from the supporter pack to get it but at least i got four raptor pets ;)

Ya, I wasn't sure either and this was my first season attempting the fight. Even though I lost the first attempt, I was happy to clear it, and from now on I'll be much better at the fight and do better managing shaper balls. I was also very happy to see that I have enough ES to survive shaper slam.

Also yes, I looove the auto herald effects. But, I also love the Sin HoI effect, and frequently switch back and forth depending on my mood :d

I am writing up a brief guide for my LL version that you can attach to the front if you want. I'll PM it when it's done

Can this build use indigon + Zerphis flask?

Yeah sure ... I played a bit around with that in standard but in the end it felt better with spark totems as self-cast but did not really optimize it too much. So I guess when you really invest heavy into mana etc.
