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

@Yuno: Great to hear that you having fun with my build!

1. Yes that is true... we only can have two curses at once at one enemy... as soon as we cast a third on the enemy the first one added will be removed.

2. You underestimate the power of duration for the spark skill... with this nodes and the duration in our spark setup the duration will be increased to 2,5-3 sec. so every single spark can theoretically hit every enemy up to three times. That helps our survivability a lot because with every hit we get mana & life and also can proc choir which pushes our dps a lot. The lighning bolt are our biggest hitter. Especially for higher bossfights this is really important. Just test it out and you will see.

I also thought about the nodes with freeze duration but I am not sure if it is worth it.

I think it is great when you guys try out things because when we share our experience we will find the best build together.

One more thing... I do not play this game for long time eather ... I started mid-saison in Breach-League. The freezing spark inquisitor was my 2nd char.

I dont think that the increase duration effects the freeze duration but for our damage it is like an multiplier because one spark will not hit an enemy once it can hit him 2-3 times.

Why vaal lightning trap? i find it often to be a waste of time throwing 3 of them while spark would do more dps. Also your gear shows you have both of the vaal skills on cast when damage taken but i dont think vaal skills proc from that. Amazing guide btw im level 84 now and loving this build, just need a choir of the storm for it to be complete.

Been playing your build for the past 3 days and i can say that leveling with spark or totems felt the same to me. I straight up leveled with spark and slowly progressed with the links when i needed the damage. Now i am on level 80 with a 5L 7k shield and all the difference i saw at the boss rooms damage and leeching is the Vessel of Vinktar flask. You all who play this build better get one before tire 8+ maps. I suggest getting the Alchemist node too it is very good for our flask set up especially at boss room.

Once i gain some currency i think i'll buy Shavs and go low life with Hatred and Wrath to get this build even further. So i took the time to think for this improvements and ill like to hear out your opinion too.

Here is the mana reservation and life reservation:


We can even use a clarity on our mana with the enlightens only at level 2 for some mana regen with this setup.But i think a better choice is to use 3 link in our main weapon Discipline Wrath adn Enlighten. Just like that we will have 3 aura setups and still have room for a CwdT setup with immortal call increased duration and Lightning golem.


This is how your tree will look like at level 90


After level 90 we will have 10 points to spec only onto energy shield

like this


I really hope that this can work since i am a new player too and we can make this build even better since it wast a budget build from the beginning after all xD
Have a good day sir!
EDIT
This is the final tree. Forgot to use actual crit nodes so droped some energy shield nodes. Still we will have 200%+ from the tree so no biggie.

Hi, Bravehood yeah you might be right... the lightning trap I found usefull for some bosses which spawn late. I guess there might be better solutions for this skill slot. You will love choir of the storms... it will push your dps to the next level.

@EmisDemis: I think your suggestion is with Alchemist is good, this node is really good. I probably will try it out when I am higher level. Your plan to go shav is interesting and I am pretty sure it can work out but it will be expensive... really good 6link shav ...you will have to farm a lot for this. At the end I am not sure if the high investment in reservation will be worth it but some thing you just have to try out to know it. Before you try it out read some vaal spark guides because they often include a build versions with shavs.

i been fucking around abit to find some good single target atleast for normal atziri just putting a storm call gem instead of spark and its rly ez (also u wont kill urself on splitphase to reflect) i have also tried runing stormcall in a 4link setup but it didnt seem to have enough dmg to be better than spark itself, maybe once i get a 6l i might try to just swap out multiple gems vs bosses and give it a try again

edit: also about to finally buy a vinktar flask pretty stocked :D

edit2: btw since i had the spare slots im runing a 4link with CWDT-summon ice golem-cold snap-culling strike and its actually pretty nice alot of freeze chance and inc freeze duration and culling strike also nice ofcourse if u wont wanna swap gem

Duuude... you can not honestly test/try out bossfights without vinktar... the flask is one of our most important instruments for bossfights^^ Another user suggested to take the three points into "Alchemy" with this increased duration for flasks and the overflowing chalice we should be able to have a really high uptime with vinktar in bossfights.

I like the idea to include cold snap in CWDT... I guess I will try it out... atm I use cold nova in this setup.

Is Wind of Change really important? I want to use ES Gloves with res and stuff so choir can increase critical chance

Well my guide is just a guideline and every player should adapt it to their playstyle and current gear & level.

Wind of change are great for damage...alternativly I tested maligaro's virtuosity. The damage per use was more or less the same but it felt very slow. Projectile speed increases our chances to hit many enemies which proc's our choir, thunder, curses, etc. So we want to increase the chance to hit as many enemies as often as we can. We do that with increase spark duration and projectile speed.
