Spoiler
Core items -Roth's Reach for free chain -Rigwald's Quill for free fork -2x call of brotherhood for 100% conversion to cold, it is very important that we use 2 call of the brotherhood as it we allow us to receive the full benefit of cold pen and frostbite Luxury item -Maligro's virtuosity (You could use a rare glove for alternative) -6l es/ es+armor / es+evade body armor (You could use tabula for budget alternative) Amulet Life, crit chance, crit multi, mana, cast speed, (resist if you need it) Helmet and belt Life, resist, dex Boots Life, resist, dex, movement speed Gem links

Very cool build, great to see an endgame sparks build again!
Awesome. | |

i don't get the weapon/quiver combination. you can either fork or chain, not both.
edit: i'd rather get a quill rain for for up to 100% proj. speed. Last edited by tesb on Jan 15, 2016, 5:31:56 PM

" Thank you! :D |
|
" The projectile will fork first, the forked projectile will apply chain. You can refer to wiki below. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Projectile |

Really cool build :)
Btw, you can right click gems you don't want to level up so they don't show on the screen IGN: Tufz

OK, what does chain on spark do exactly?
| |
" Well it will chain.. For example when the spark hit an enemy, it will fork first as that's the property of projectile. So now you have 2 spark that forked from the first projectile. If either of this forked spark hit an enemy, it will chain (seek out and target the next nearest enemy, it's an extra hit). Basically, a lot of free hits if there are more than 1 enemy on the screen. Here is a video for temp chain double volcano boss, you can see that I clear the boss in 5-6 sec as compared to the original volcano video in my first post which I took 8 sec. First totem summoned at 5:41, at 5:46 one of the boss was already dead, as the can be seen from the drops and at 5:47 both boss was dead. https://youtu.be/0HTHAK_O3fQ Sorry for the poor video quality, btw happy 3 years anniversary for your account XD |

to be honest you can't really see a lot of the interactions with all the sparks around. So chain for spark is basically the same as pierce, with the restriction that it can only happen once because of the bow. Or does the cain spark not move around randomly?

" Spark can't hit SRS anyway. It's worth noting that +2 maps are a dangerous thing.
They can cause players to get out of their depth - playing maps that are too hard for the items they currently have. Herp Derp. |
