[0.4] Build of the Week Submission - Spark Twister Battlemage Invoker

INTRODUCTION

Hey everyone! It's my first time posting a build like this to the forums, so I hope everything goes over well.

This is my 3rd season making a Twister build, and I wanted to do something really out of the box with it this time. It began with the simple idea of using Twister as a means to proc a Cast-on-crit spell damage link while simultaneously leeching heavy amounts of mana to pay for the resource costs of that link. Fast-forward to now and that idea has transformed into an epic Battlemage Invoker with more synergistic interactions than I can count, combining Twister with a dual-linked Spark (both similarly functioning skills that feed off each other and scale in almost identical ways).

PROS & CONS

+ High ceiling for mobility scaling through weapon swap
+ Lots of skills automated through a fairly simple rotation
+ Easy mapping with multi-screen-wide freeze and clear
+ Extremely strong in small arenas like Ritual or the Vaal Temple mechanic
+ Budget-friendly gearing

- Complex to set up with lots of moving parts
- Can have issues with mana management
- Poor bossing DPS in large arenas
- Unique-heavy gearing
