Is it only for me that Arc is feeling much better to use than spark? Better add clearing and better boss dmg. I'm currently level 52 on Act2 Cruel.
I know dps numbers alot doesn't show it, but while using it in game has been feeling a lot better.
Your guide is still very good, I'm very new to poe (despite playing in 2013) and have been loving it!

Thanks! Great to hear! So honestly currently I’m also playing with arc in the campaign. I think spark will be better when you are in maps because you have the gigs large packs then and this is the area where spark really shines. Arc is better for fewer mobs and most of the time in the campaign I’m fighting fewer enemies!
And yep the build will be still good because we focused on mana stacking and archmage!
I will also update the charplaner with a arc without cos but I still need to think about which supports I can get in addition to the cos

Yeah already updated it, so I was focusing more on mana stacking and archmage and cast on shock comet was just the addition of the giga broken interaction. We still use cast on shock arc but only for bosses at it will be good against bosses and boost our dmg for bosses!
So the nerf doesn’t hit us that hard like other builds that completely focused on cast on x

The nerf to CoS was unnecessary since it only generated 20 energy prior to the change. The CoS-Comet combo provided a nice extra "oomph" for mob clearing. Thanks for the build though, Angren.
I will change the build so it will function with cast on shock! If they won’t semi revert this nerf I will find a way how you can play this without cast on shock. And honestly you didn’t need to change that „much“ with some adjustments the build can function without cast on shock I assume but I have to shift some nodes in the passive tree and we need to look at which spell we take, if we still go for spark at it is not great for single target or if we go full ham on arc and trying to push that!
So guys won’t give up I will find a way for all mana stacking stormweaver palpatine lightning lovers!
So as a wise man once said we gonna find our pathway to many abilities some consider as unnatural and we have unlimited power again, just need adjust things as always!
So i think since we also stack mana and go for mana tempest and archmage we should be fine to go for spark multicast and arc single target! I will update the charplaner and will remove the cast on shock!
Edit2:
So i read somewhere that for cast on shock boss it got actually buffed a bit. So if we use the stormweaver asc with 2 shocks and conduction for 100% more shock chance this could be our boss ability. So our cast on shock now will be for bosses, will try if comet or arc is better touch! Maybe arc so we don’t need the conversion of cold to lightning!
Just tested CoS-Comet (Impetus + Deep Freeze) and it procs relatively often on bosses. For regular mobs, I just swap back to SRS with Firewall.

Yeah i will also go for comet again, as it will still be good for bosses!

So I went back to cos comet but I also included a single target setup for bosses to trigger comet, we will go for arc and use conduction and some spells to trigger comet faster!
Multi target is still for spark!
As I said tomorrow I will do an leveling guide how you should play before your endgame setup and with lvl 41 and comet you can start investing for your endgame setup!

Hey chief, just so's you know, you have conduction listed twice on the mobalytics guide. One on orb of storms and one on spark. Is that intentional? Do we eventually get the ability to use a copy of a support gem despite not being a gem merc?

Disregard previous post, I must have refreshed while you were still tweaking the build lol.
