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

heyhey,
just switched to spark yesterday. I have huge survivability problems and I think, that many other followers of the guide are feeling the same!? My gear is really crap, but I think with 3,4k life and atziris flask I shouldn't die a lot in T1 maps?! It is a little bit hard. Is something wrong with me or my char? Would appriciate if you could owerview my char :D

atm my gear is optimized for max resists and dex for bv. tooltip spark dmg unbuffed is 13k

edit: sorry, i have forgotten to say that I am dying to bosses mostly. If I am not dying to bosses I am dying because my leech is damn bad or I am OoM... :D

edit2: I am dumb...should be more careful and kill mobs on distance, skip a few bosses und should focus on more mana/life.^^

The curses in your helmet currently are not triggered because their level is too high!? Or do i miss something here?

Yeah while leveling I cast them manually.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldn't find it. Why are you taking Sanctify and Pious Path over Instruments of Virtue and Augury of Penitence? Those are insane dps boosts and the other require you to stand on consecrated grounds but normally you run around most of the time

Last season I had Instruments of Virtue and Augury of Penitence but with the nerf of vaal pact I decided to change it. The life&mana reggen are now part of main defense and sustain.

Last saison with just picking vaal pact everything was a bit easier... I guess you get oom because you get a big hit and MoM just takes it all. You need something like "% of damage taken is gained as mana" ... so you could spec into battle rouse for now. Maybe even speccing out of MoM for now...

I definitly would take 1-2 or two life, life/mana hybrid flask until your char is stronger.

Also try to get pantheon Capture Herald of Thunder in Arcade Map 50% increased Recovery of Life and Energy Shield if you've stopped taking Damage Over Time Recently. When your take a hit cwdt procs and will end the dot of blood rage and will activate this.

Try this out and let me know... unfortunately I am not high enough yet to test it out myself... and when I created the no vaal pact version of this build my char was already good geard and high level.

I would also think about getting enfeeble in your cwdt instead of warlord's mark.

Hey, thanks for answering so fast.

I have more questions:

Do you think taking the mana nodes behind MoM is good? Maybe instead of Coordination or 5% life nodes?

Do you have +1 curses somewhere? Right now only enfeeble or warlords mark gets applied to enemeies on the CWDT setup. Am I doing something wrong

Yeah on the windscream boots +1 curse... do you have problems with one shots atm? If not spec out of MoM until you have Pious Path.

Oh yeah another thing you could try is... vaal clarity to sustain mana in bossfights.

I haven't specced into MoM yet. I am level 68 and don't haven't done merciless lab yet, just asking because most builds I see that take MoM also take the nodes behind it. I am not having any problems with oneshots at the moment.

I will try playing without MoM for a bit and then specc in to see what the difference is I guess.
I think MoM without perferct form (AA mana reserve) is also not that good, so I am waiting until I have some more uniques.


Thanks again for answering.

Oh sorry I confused you with the guy I was discussion a similar topic atm. Yeah I think the are good... but I would take them later.

Hi!
Quick question, why do you level Ancestral Call Support in your off-slot? Do you plan on using it later, and if so, with what gems?

Oh that is completly random.... just found it and put it there to level. I want to use it but not for this build because it only works with attacks.

this chess very nice for this build!

holy shit, that chest is insane! just bought and 5linked it. huge damage boost! and not I have a helmet with +2 spark projectiles. The swap back to life-flasks instead atziris was the best way to go. Now i can farm low maps really smoothly :)

thank you!
