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

" Lightmare_ wrote: I just started Poe 2 weeks ago and after I played my SRS Witch for a bit I looked for a build which has better clearspeed and can farm maps a lot faster. Your build was exactly what I looked for so I got my new character up to level 62 now which is the point where I thought about collecting my gear to switch from totem to spark. Now the question I'm asking myself is what my gear needs to have and what is rather optional. One thing I'm not sure about is for example the helmet enchantment. I'm sure it makes a big difference but getting it should take very long if my knowledge is correct and I need to run lab many times until I get it. I hope you can help me out :) You should be able to start sparking from around 68-69 with a 4 link and call of brotherhood. You'll easily do low tier maps. The helm enchant is the last thing you should worry about.	Posted by Mastodonic#4023 on Sep 19, 2017, 12:08:23 AM Quote this Post
Okay thanks guys, I should have a bit over 100 chaos in my stash so money shouldn't be the problem, at least for the start. The problem will be to find thing that actually have what I need like the enchantment because finding someone who sells a rat's nest with the right enchantment is a one in a million chance :D but since you said I don't need to worry about it for now I'll just get the most important uniques and looks that I get the right sockets on them.

Hi you dont need to focus on rat's nest... you also can take for example starkonja's or devoto's or even a rare helmet mit life and resistances.

Any help would be appreciated Your gear is decent... one thing I noticed what I would change. A while ago I switch out the added lightning damage against critical strike support in the spark setup. You damage will be better once all your gems are leveled to 20. I would recommend to change a few passive points to get mind over matter and battle rouse that will make you more tanky. I guess would get insanity gloves for your movement setup because it will increase your clearing speed a lot. It also depends a bit what you wanna do... if wanna kill bosses or mainly just farm for example.	Posted by bashtart#2403 on Sep 19, 2017, 2:17:47 PM Quote this Post
Have you considered swapping "added lightning damage" with "arcane surge" (https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Arcane_Surge_Support)? It also adds mana regeneration for mind over matter. An arcane surge level 11 17% currently adds more damage than my level 18 20% added lightning damage. Downside is the activation threshold of mana. It may require https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Voidbringer on max level, which are more for pure ES builds I suppose, adds nice crit though.

Yes I thought about arcane surge... but I would not use it in the spark setup. You can proc for example the arcane surge with another spell and still have a 6link spark setup. By the way I changed added lightning damage for critical strike support because the build profits so much from crit.

I just switched to the Spark Build and have currently big issues with my mana being completely drained once a mob group manages to get a few hits on me which results in a fast death since I have no mana to defend myself. Any advice on that?	Posted by Lightmare_#1529 on Sep 20, 2017, 6:06:49 AM Quote this Post

Any advice on that? Yeah ... you need % of damage taken is gained as mana over ...click me I use battle rouse for that reason.

Okay thanks I'll work my way to Battle Rouse then. Another problem are of course mobs that reflect elemental damage. Is there a way to see that a mob has this before I kill myself? :D	Posted by Lightmare_#1529 on Sep 20, 2017, 6:29:18 AM Quote this Post
