Question for you all, what are people getting for Spark tooltip DPS in endgame mapping? I'm trying to get a point of comparison for non-Stormweaver Spark builds (and yes tooltip DPS is very incomplete picture etc etc but it's a useful point of comparison). And what level of gear investment (low/med/high), and if the setup is glass cannon (ie 0 ES) or not. Thanks for any info!

16,111 tooltip
Pierce - Wildshards - Arcane Tempo - Acceleration - Lightning Pen

Honestly how? I must not understand something my build is way lower. And I still only have 3 support slots. Not sure when higher ones drop but I’ve never seen one.

I have no idea too, I just completed campaign with whatever I could find and buy for these few orbs you get and I have barely 1k DPS on spark :D

Level 88, full link spark.

Is anyone tried Cast on Shock with Lightning Conduit ?

With a lot of shock and Strike Twice ascendency, it's litterally broken. 100% sure it will be nerf soon.
it doesn't really work on white pack mob, but it one shot every yellow pack, and even boss can be done in 3/4sec.

How do you run Cos with Archmage? You are not using Everlasting Gaze? Or body armor with +60 spirit/Sceptre offhand?

Actually, I have spirit on Chest and Amulet.

I tried also with 60+ spirit Chest and Everlasting Gaze, but it need to sacrifice too much dps to have some energy shield.
It's probably possible, but need to invest into better stuff. I insist that i tried only with shitty stuff : It's powerfull and really funny, to easy to die.

Current status:

6,085 ES / 2382 ES recharge per second
4,884 Mana / 1228 mana per second
18,756 Spark tooltip (yes I know this is not necessarily valuable, but a point of comparison)

Using Kitoko and i dont notice one bit of difference with the changes to electrocute.

Absolutley melting T16 maps and bosses w/ +4 difficulty.

Switch passive tree around just a bit to grab an extra jewel.

10/10

When you equip helmet your damage contribute to freezing. Or freeze buildup rather.
Without it you are using just shock chance and if u dont invest into it it will almost never shock.

i tested cast of shock without the helmet and i had a weapon which gives 80% chance to shock but it didn't proc much comet with cast of shock . the proc just feels weak compared to cast of freeze

Man.
Ok i guess i didnt write properly first time. I apologize for that. As i was tired at the time. Mechanics are different from PoE1.

My understanding is that , there is that chance doesnt work like it worked in PoE1. Now we have buildup and chance.

So helmet adds damage to freeze buildup, but shock version equivalent would be ascendancy "Shaper of storms" "All damage from hits contributes to shock chance"


Another important thing to know. 80% shock chance is nothing?
Look at the ball lightning

"

Hits enemies in range every 0.2 seconds
1000% more chance to Shock enemies

1000% more chance?
Where does that put ur 80%? And even like that lightning ball doesnt shock instantly. It takes few hits

"

Electrocute provides the following effects:

Lightning Damage from supported skills contributes to Electrocution Buildup
Sopported Skills deal 20% Less Damage

See, there is that buildup again (different mechanics electro

That less damage is actually detremental in shocking enemies. More damage trumps shock chance, because "Lightning Damage from supported skills contributes"

What i am saying is that without extreeme chance to shock or freeze it wont happen in poe2.
You need damage contributes to X to do the easiest way

Its bit missleading when it says 100% in poe2. One would think u can shock 100% of the time with 100% chance? But u are not.

Cast on shock - Arc - Chain

As soon as you get a lvl 8 spirit gem, replace artic armor with this baby and watch the damage soar.


Does this actually work? Im not seeing it being cast.
