Have you considered swapping "added lightning damage" with "arcane surge"
(https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Arcane_Surge_Support)? It also adds mana regeneration for mind over matter.

An arcane surge level 11 17% currently adds more damage than my level 18 20% added lightning damage. Downside is the activation threshold of mana. It may require https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Voidbringer on max level, which are more for pure ES builds I suppose, adds nice crit though.

Yes I thought about arcane surge... but I would not use it in the spark setup. You can proc for example the arcane surge with another spell and still have a 6link spark setup. By the way I changed added lightning damage for critical strike support because the build profits so much from crit.

I just switched to the Spark Build and have currently big issues with my mana being completely drained once a mob group manages to get a few hits on me which results in a fast death since I have no mana to defend myself. Any advice on that?

Okay thanks I'll work my way to Battle Rouse then. Another problem are of course mobs that reflect elemental damage. Is there a way to see that a mob has this before I kill myself? :D

Normally with capped resistance, soul of yugul, all the leech, etc reflection is not a big deal but you also normally can spot it. Just google for "poe reflection aura..." it is a yellow/golden aura around the mob. I really would recommend to use poe wikipedia because it can answer most of your questions way better than I can ;)

How mandatory is Call of the Brotherhood. I want to play this build in SSF as my farmer. (i could probably farm the div. cards for a unique two stone ring). Can i farm white maps decently before i get CotB?

Look CotB has mainly the purpose to create enough cold damage to freeze... freezing helps us to survive and also to spread our curses. Of course you can also farm with out it but it will be a bit harder. I am not sure but I guess maybe is herald of ice and like added cold damage support for beginning enough... you also could use something like the three dragon mask or some other items.

Hi, just look for weapons with spell or elemental damage, damage to spells, spell crit, etc... a good level weapon is for example axiom perpetuum.
