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

this is one of my favrioute builds.

I asked a few streamers on build's and they said slower projectiles should NEVER be used on spark on any situation.

Whatcha think?

How do you freeze things with this lightning/shock build?

I ran this build as a league starter in i think bestiary, it was pretty good alrdy back then. Some (maybe obvious) tips for ppl that want to run this as a league starter:

- switch to Storm brand at lvl 12 until you have a 4 link for: spark, pierce, faster proj. and spell echo - its much better till then (use storm brand, added lightning (switch for faster casting) and onslaught

- pick up elemental overload while you use storm brand, its a huge dmg boost (unskill it when you pick up some crit nodes)

-pick up lightning spire trap for added single target dmg (link with ele focus, contr. destruction and faster casting) it will help on bosses

- get decoy totem for bosses

- get flamedash to cross gaps

- use clarity in the beginning for mana

- use herald of ice and thunder till you have wrath

also some question i found:
- would storm brand not be better then orb of storm for power charges?
- is there a way we can make room for lightning spire for later on aswell?
- would the new es leech nodes (or at least one of them) not be kinda nice for this build to get some additional recovery?

Thinking of making this build for 3.6, how do you think single target will be now? I don't expect GC levels of damage but will I struggle against red map bosses?

Thinking about make a spark build this league, why u dont take ES in the tree in 3.6 after the buffs to ES?

Call of the Brotherhood converts 40% lightning -> cold, also gives you a 100% chance to shock vs frozen enemies.

Anyone thought about "Gift from Above"?



Also a related question about the node - "Pious Path", is it only the effect that lingers of the whole consecrated ground "status"? If it's the latter then that ring is more or less passive 50% inc dmg and 5% block. Which leads to the question if the linger effect also counts on the consecrated ground the ring creates on crit.

It sims higher than anything else in PoB at least.

Going to be trying this build this season really looking forwards to it :)

In the updated path of building I don't see Blade Vortex mentioned. Is BV still relevant to this build in 3.6?

Is innervate support and unleash support not worth using for this build? Both of them seem like they could fit, but may not result in any significant damage increase over the other support skills being used. Anyone have any thoughts?
