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

Thanks for this great build, bashtart. This is really fun!

I used this build as a league starter this time and was really lucky to get a Bisco's early and farm my gear. I tried to get my Inpulsa's as soon as possible so I could swap out Herald of Ice with Herald of Thunder and replace Call of the Brotherhood with a res ring.

I'm currently at 220k dps at lvl 93 (frenzy and power charges, enemy being shocked and all flasks active).
Overflowing Chalice allows me to always be running on all flasks active. This is a beautiful flask and makes every build a Pathfinder pretty much.

Also, I sniped some really good Shaper gloves with Blind for survivability and farmed a Decree of Thunder enchant just yesterday:


I think about leaving Choir of the Storm out so I can keep the Bisco's in my setup, as the enchant procs around twice a second as well and does a significant amount of damage (~120k dps).

By switching to Voidwalkers I was able to add Increased Crit Strikes to my Spark setup, which helped the Inpulsa proc a lot more often.

My current gear (invest around 3 ex). Next upgrade will be a 10%, 6L Inpulsa's. I'm really looking forward to it! :-) And I just noticed my rings are really bad. I'll probably get them upgraded as well soon.

The helm enchant cost me around 50c early this league and is really worth it.

how is this build doing in delve? does spark work as good in delve as it would make sense? (close quarters and so)

Spark works wonders in delve. I'm currently only at depth ~250, but I can easily stand in the middle of the encounters and just keep pressing Spark. The reason I chose Spark is pretty much because of the shape of the delves. It's working just great.

Thanks for this magnificent build.

I'm playing this build more than a week and i'm happy because of it's clearing speed and got lucky on the drops. So i manage to buy the needed items for this build.

By the way i changed my helmet to lightpoacher to maximize my damage and for my hp too hahaha. Correct me if im wrong or something u want to say to improve more.

That +30% crit mult on your gloves is awesome!

I like the idea of using more abyss jewels. Does the ~100 flat lightning from your jewels help a lot?

Why do you use The Oak though? Just for the flat life and life regen? I feel that the leech from the weapon and MoM is enough for even the highest tiers of maps. Enfeeble from Chernbog's Pillar helps a lot.

My suggestions, in order of invest/return ratio:
- Please quality your gear up to 20%. :-)
- You have a level 18 CWDT setup in your boots that only procs at 3k damage. I suggest using a lower level CWDT for your curse/IC/Tempest Shield setup to proc more often.
- You can get another CWDT setup (this can be high-tier) on your Lightpoachers to mitigate big hits.
- Swap out Spell Echo in your BV setup for another damage support. They buffed BV down to 10 max stacks and it's really not needed any more IMHO
- Get the decree of thunder enchant on your gloves. This doubles the cast rate of lightning bolts (damage per hit is pretty much the same as the CotS skill).
- Get the mana leech or life/mana regen enchant on your boots
- If you can afford or farm it, get the +3 Spark Projectiles on your Lightpoachers. It helps a lot!

Thanks for the suggestion i'll do it.

About the abyss jewel, yes it help a lot it adds 2k damage per jewel.
Right now im trying to use essence ring worm and put a wrath aura spell
and my DPS goes 51k. For now i'm not encountering some mana shortage.

I almost forgot why do u prefer Chernobog's Pillar as the shield?
What do you think about that?

By the way ur right when the maps mods is elemental reflect it kills me so fucking fast, even a life flask can't help me. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I bought this watcher's eye for 5 exalted is it a good buy or not?

What are the best gems to use in the glove?

1)(Vaal) Spark + Spell Echo + Pierce Support + Faster Projectiles

2)(Vaal) Spark + Spell Echo + Pierce Support + Icreased Critical Strikes

3)(Vaal) Spark + Spell Echo + Pierce Support + Elemental focus

What is different in version 3.4 with this build?
Is the skill tree still the same?

Hi, I'm considering reinvesting most of the nodes on the right side of the tree into more life and mana (maybe damage too) elsewhere. How does the build fare without the dodge nodes? Thanks.

Chernobog's is just really strong for the defence of this build, it is cheap and also decent for our offense. The watcher's eye seems to be worth it I guess. You really should avoid elemental reflection ...

It depends on the mods your shaper gloves give you... if you chose option 1 or 2. You don't wanna use opt.3 three because then you cannot apply ailments which you reduce your clear speed by a lot.

I like the version with the dodge nodes more but you can try it.

What setup for movement skill you guys been using?
Im at lvl 51, flame dash is feeling way better than shield charge, but i dont want to lost the cast speed bonus from the Instruments of Virtue. What do you guys think its faster for mapping as this is my only objective with this build?
Thx

Would zerphis heart work well with this build?
