Hey there again; wanted to say thank you again for keeping this up to date and also let you know about my experience.

Currently level 88 (I didn't focus on leveling, I mostly tried things, like seeing if I get one-shotted by different mobs xD)

My gems aren't 20/20 yet, I didn't even buy a lvl 20 spark (didn't feel the need).
Current DPS in hideout with just auras and golem: 62,446
Hp: 4,657 ES: 949 Mana: 545/1495 - no Inspiration and Clarity active

Pretty much all mobs die in 1 hit, up to T15 maps; some require more, based on map mods and whatnot.

What I do not like is the threshold jewels, for me at least; everything feels much smoother plus you can get other good stats from 2 rare jewels, and it allows you to spec out of the "inc duration nodes"

My Character:

I know I have Empower instead of Fortify, it's just to level it up
Also have a Flame Dash which is not needed but I like the QoL it offers

Stuff I tried

Assassin's Mark and Warlord's Mark in the CoH setup, which is fine but makes it harder to get Frenzy charges, which I love; so instead I prefer Assassin's Mark + Poacher's Mark.
Poacher's Mark works better for me than Ice Bite and it gives a bit of mana/life on kill.

I tried using a Vaal Haste with the Inc. Duration but only on lower maps; I also don't feel the need for it, plus if a boss would one-shot you it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Was also using Ice Golem but I prefer Lightning for the QoL.

Did not try a helmet with "3 additional sparks" but I'm pretty sure I would go for those instead of "40% increased Spark Damage"; this only gives like 10-15k extra DPS, which if you have level 20/21 Spark I don't think will matter too much.

I also tried replacing Faster Proj. with Slower Proj. and Pierce for bosses; I prefer Pierce because I like the projectile speed and it's not a big dps difference

Also managed to chance a pair of Skyforth's, tried them out but I get the same damage and need to use the pierce gem instead of Faster Proj., which is it's not worth it for me; tried using the Projectile Weakness on the CoH setup but it's not the same. The only upside I saw was fighting bosses, because you have Power Charges all the time.

If you got any suggestions, I'm up for trying them.


As far as bosses go, as long as you can spam your spark they die really fast, like a few seconds fast.

Some Boss ratings

T10 Malformation - super easy, usually don't even get to laser phase
T11 Chateau - easy (-er with decoy totem; requires kiting without)
T12 Crematorium - super easy, even facetank-able
T13 Waterways - super easy
T13 Beacon - so so (requires some kiting, totem gets 1shot)
T13 High Gardens - easy (-er with decoy totem)
T14 Volcano - super easy
T14 Shrine - easy (map is annoying because of closed rooms)
T15 Beachhead - It's a Breeze - Awesome for XP grinding, I got like 230m+ exp at lvl 88, while picking stuff up and even had to go back to sell once

Unfortunately maps like T13 Lair or T11 Excavation are way too annoying, doable but I don't think they're worth it unless you need to unlock them.
