[3.7] Vaal Spark Pathfinder - Just run through content (MF Option)

Why go Pathfinder? With this craft on belt you will have pretty much the same effect :O

(11–14)% increased Effect of Flasks on you
33% reduced Flask Charges gained

I made a self-curse temporal chains build with permanent vaal RF / vaal Discipline as Occultist with a 40% reduced soul cost staff ;)

I see that you're running Storm Call. For Storm call you need the helmet enchant ! :)

Oh, is it a big difference maker? Sorry, didn't (still don't) follow how reducing the duration of Storm Call results in recharging souls faster with... Vaal Storm Call? Or am I supposed to be sorta rotating them in and out? Any information specific to that before I make the investment? Appreciate your help!


You need to reduce the duration of the skill to reduce the soul gain time prevention.
With spark you have the jewels that give reduced spark duration. But with Storm Call you don't have it. Hence having to get it on the helm enchant ! ;)

We got PF because it gives movement speed, increased flask effect (20%), INSANE flask regen (perma flasks), elemental damage and immunity to elemental ailments.
Overall this is the best class, hands down, for this build.

Maybe for softcore, for hardcore I wouldn't recommend going pathfinder but instead occultist or trickster :)
Made a few changes:

Vaal Storm Call:
Increased Critical Strikes -> Lightning Penetration ( Only if not using Call of the Brotherhood ) for more boss DPS and bigger shocks.

Vaal Spark:
Pierce -> Lightning Penetration ( Again only if not using Call of the Brotherhood, otherwise use Controlled Destruction ) because I took pierce on passive tree: http://poeurl.com/cj8z ( also made some more nice changes )

Belt:
Crafted Flask Effect ( really don't understand why you haven't done that )

Skills:
Wave of Confliction + Blood Magic to kill first pack and apply -25% resists on bosses
Phase run + Blood Magic as movement
Reserve all mana
Hey man, I'm on SSF on a inquistor and I've two spark jewels, soul catcher, call of the brotherhood and now I feel like I've to give spark a try.

Can i run this without having the fossil daggers and if not do you need two to have perm vspark uptime?

Will i be needing too much flask effectiveness from not being path etc.

I mean I don't need to have perm vspark since as INQ spark is decent.

Sounds about right. Of course you're free to do whatever tweaks you want. I'm just proposing some guidelines here ! :)
When you're done leveling the build could you do a video, I'd love to see this iteration of the build in action ! :)

The daggers only allow you to stack up more than one charges. I guess you can play without them but it won't be as smooth (haven't tried to play without the daggers).

Yagamai here is saying that you don't need to be PF and only need the belt craft. I haven't done the maths but he says it's working so I guess he's right.
So I guess, according to his words, you could go any class you want for the build.
But as I said, for me PF is the ultimate choice for the build ! :)

I will make a video when I am around level 80 tomorrow ;)

You don't even need the belt craft, I got 0.66 sec lockdown without it which is fine as long as you don't use vaal grace

Just having some issues with open area maps because 1.2 sec duration -.-

Pretty hard, which is why they are 2.5 to 3 exa

You need to special fossil area and find the wall to get there and be really lucky
