Maybe consider 6-link and quality spark for the projectile speed. For pure speed farming, a 20% quality spark + faster proj. gem will have you clearing packs of mobs from screens away and have more projectiles rebounding. The biggest problem you'll have is trying to find the currency that you heard drop because the mobs were killed from so far away :D

Hello all,
finally, my videos were uploaded to Youtube. I started to play this build from the beginning of the league. My goal was to beat guardians with this build. I made minor changes in passive tree, equipment and gems. I started with guardians after I reached new level for sure. I did all the guardians and vaal temple deathless, but count like 0-2 deaths per guardian, if middle-hard rolled. For example any Atziri or Shaper is not possible to do. (But don't forget you still play POE, earlier or later you'll be one-shoted anyway).

My character is lvl 96, life 6260, Hideout dps: Normal - 105,5k, MF - 86k, passive tree:

Gear for T15+ bosses:

Some tips for you:
1) Use Lightning Warp linked with less duration gem during boss fights. (Very helpful, but almost nobody using that)
2) Decoy Totem is very usefull too.
3) Don't use hazardous research jewel.
4) Be elemental weakness capped (even with MF gear)
5) Optional - I have in secondary slot linked: spark + Culling Strike + spell echo for hard bosses
6) Optional - Try to have some chaos resistance on your items.

I play T16 maps with MF gear, only for boss fights switch my equipment to normal. I push my both life flasks at the same time if I have less than 1/2 of life (sometimes more than once), that saved my hero so many times. I did mino/phoenix with MF gear, but it takes a long time and it is boring. Also I did no regen Phoenix with one hybrid flask. I can say, you can play T16 maps even with bosses (with 0% exp for sure), but count with possible few deaths in boss fight. There are many better builds than this one for sure, but why no to try that :D

I will greatly appreciate if you have any ideas yet to improve anything.

Hello, i wrote a comment on your youtube video.
I'm a lvl 92 pathfinder, and im playing as a sparker since like lvl 70 ( i started as a raider charged dash, but didnt like ut, and im so lazy to level up a new character, it would be inquisitor ofc, but it works surpsisingly well with raider, and also with pathfinder)
My Character:

Spoiler

For you, what could help are: First of all, after some tests, i didnt need the passive points, neither i did the peirce gem for piercing, the voidwalker was totally enough, mainly after i got the +2 projectiles helmet (im thinking about buying a +3 the gull mask, or rats nest, i will see. but first i think im getting the dying sun for that sweet + 2 projectile.) So with this, you could get +1 link (even though the pierce +20% is sweet, mainly a +40% could be even better)
yes, if you would switch your boots to voidwalker, u wouldnt have the +1 curse. But thats not even needed. The hoi+curse on hit is not on the mob for any time. It usually curses the mub as it hits, and even that hit kills the mob, so its like an unseen charge generator. meanwhile the cwdt+warlords mark is up when a rare mob or boss hits you, and herald of ice wont swich it up, if you dont kill a mob with herald of ice explosion next to that mob. but usually rare mobs die by one hit, and on bosses there are no little mobs around the boss (except that 1 pack which is always far from the boss on most of the maps) so, the + 1 curse is not needed.
the rampage + quantity on the belt is also pretty good, but with that, you couldnt have the ring, cuz u probably would need a high res rare ring. thats only about personal preference, you could give it a try if you would like. not a big deal.
the main thing is:

!!!!!
for a clearspeed build (and in 3.0 the spark nova is really a tier1 clearspeed build!!! (i played discharger too, even with the new items what means like 50% more dmg buff for it, it still cant beat the spark nova's clearpeed! my clearspeed is very near to my 2.6 vaal fireball and vaal spark builds!! which is a big word in 3.0!) this item is VERY OP BROKEN MUST HAVE :O if you calculate some, it is flat lightning dmg. 1-10. per mob. recently. you can keep up 50(even more tho ) enemy slain recently, that means you get at least 50-500 added lightning dmg from this shield. THATS A LOT! lvl 20 added lihtning dmg even after the sweet buff, gives 21 to 402. so this shield is minimum, but even soooo so much better than a +1 link for eevery single skill you use. It means you would deal a lot more damage while clearing, with your spark, your herald of thunder, and herald of ice ( after some enemies often happens that herald of thunder and ice clears the whole screen by themselves bcoz they also get the huge damage buff from the shield) in my current links theres no herald of thunder atm, i tried the 4link storm call + wrath for the better single target, but it was meh, not bad, but not enough for higher bosses. the final version will probably a 6l plede of hands in the 2nd hand and i will change with X on bosses (altough i lose 6 leveling skill gems with it, so maybe i wont even hit endgame bosses with this build, or maybe i'll jsut change up my amulet for choir while im killing bosses. idk yet. im really close to the headhunter, so that will solve my map boss killing problem.)
im also using 2 inspired learning jewel, that gives me a huge clearing buff, mainly that im doing 20% quality 25+ packsize 5 sextanted shaped primordial pools on t10, that means a lot of rare mobs, so its like if i would use a headhunter. but i have like 5-7 buff always up on shaped racecourse too.

i also think, that your onslaught flask is unnecessary. hoi + onslaught seems is totally enough (its always up), but with that you couldnt use your warlords mark in your 4l hoi (not even needed tho, you need the leech when you get damage. you get the curse when you get dmg from cwdt. -> you always have the warlords mark when you need it. + the doryani is pretty good too, and vinktar is overkill when leeching.)

i think thats all what now i could see, anyways, when i changed up, and was thinking about some things, like what to change, what links are better, etc., your build was the only one i found, and i could get some cool ideas, so im really appreciated about your work! I hope i could help some, or i could also give some new ideas, or things to try out.

for the future: Currently i got a 6link unique today, so thats + 11 ex. im chanceing my leather belts, around 200 every day, so in a few days, i will able to buy, or chance a headhunter. that will be GG for my build, but dont cheer too early :D i also have like 4 spark which will just level up ( already vaaled 4 ), hope i get the 21, if not, then i will already buy one. my helmet is also a changeable, and i think i alraedy have enough currency, to change up my uniques for better rolled ones. i dont need currently more levels, because i dont really have usefull points in the next 3 level. so i rather grind risky crafted maps, and i dont care about dying now. when i will decide to level, i will be able to lvl up 3 levels in a day. ( beachhead rota is so fast wow) im just simply too lazy and greedy for the currencies :) the lavianga is also a thing what i should change up, but without it, on hrabringers, and single target enemies, i easily get out of mana, so i dont know about it yet. maybe i will change it to a hybrid flask, and that helps in blood rage too. these are all the things what are in my current progress, sorry for the long post, and again, thank you, for your work! ^^

thanks, that is what i decided to do , bought a 6L decent for 45c, and got myself a culling strike with 20% quality but off coloring my gloves is imposible lol, was thinking on getting an added light damage 20/20 for dmg, but im going with spark +20 and faster projectile 20/20 thanks man :)
