The only mana leech i can find in my tree/gear is from warlords mark wich only cast on hit. I end up in using a mana flask at the moment but in your videos it looks allot like you leech mana. Build seams strong for the rest so far. Hi pious path does the job or you can take something with „ % of damage taken is gained as mana over ...“	Posted by bashtart#2403 on Dec 11, 2017, 3:17:42 AM Quote this Post

I'm sure I'm missing something, but I have no idea what (my characters are public, Xyrm_Spark is the one I'm talking about). I haven't gotten to the point I can actually run BV, and the single target/survivability combo is so bad that I can't actually kill bosses without dying. As promised, however, the map clear remains amazing. I just don't see myself able to progress the atlas with this character without my friends carrying me. The only way to pull off the BV+spark combo is with a very solid helm or gloves that are psuedo 5 or 6L items, so I can't really run BV to fix the single target. TBH, I kind of feel baited. I'm sure it's my own stupidty, but I just don't see how this build is anything other than a late-league meme build. PLUS, possibly the thing that makes me want to give up on this build the most, is that the spiders are blocked by nodes generated by the abyss cracks. So you can only hit 1/3-1/2 of the mobs at any given time unless you're in an enclosed place (and if you're on a narrow walkway, you just can't kill 1/2 the mobs period. Hi,there is something need to change i think. 1.jewel, you got only one spark threshold jewel,try to get another if its not expensive.(The poacher's aim is not really important when you got the pierce gems) 2. you need to buy a Singularity in your main-hand(in early game), it just need 1-2C,so cheap but can got huge damge increse. 3. your shield is worth,just look for some speel damage shield or put your mace in your next hand. 4. the abyss jewel will give you a lot damage in early game. put it in your socket(even if you got a abyss belt looks well,you can use it) 5. The Dex for run BV ,you can got it from Starkonja's Head or a 30+30 dex aumlet(ring) 6. The spark is so so weak fighting single target,try to get a 4L BV+echo+phy to lighting+Concentrated Effect to help your Boss fighting.

" Nevzat wrote: I have a couple of questions/observations since trying this build. 1) Shield charge - this is my first time using it, and I really don't like how it operates. I am regularly getting stuck in narrow spaces around enemies and then die, it is very unreliable to use - why do we use shield charge instead of any other mobility skill? Will I get used to shield charge because right now I can't see the benefits of using it unless it is an open area (in coridoors it seems awful) 2) Is there any way to change the mechanic of our spark so that it can travel through the air? I always assumed spark worked like if there a way to get to an enemy it will find it, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Again, in tight spaces spark doesn't seem great, especially when enemies are visible but can shoot at you easily and you can't touch them without running right next to them. 3) Are open layouts the kind of maps to farm for this character then? Also Bashtard - Do you plan to play this build and 3.1 and therefore update your guide to include some of the new items/uniques? Hi, 1&2) Try out leap slam, you will not reach the same movement speed with it but obstacles are no problem and you can jump over things which are in the way. Unfortunately there is no way to change the mechanics of spark. 3) yeah open layouts are the best for this build And yes I am leveling it atm but i am still dual totem... and of course I will constantly update the guide ... also with new legendary items.

Can somebody help me? I'm leveling right now with 2 totems and currently lvl 59, but this is boring ** with no fun or something like that. I'm dealing quite 0 damage right now with this absolutely slow totems and if i try to skip mobs i'm dying everytime (i just made 0 abyss from lvl 20 because it cant be killed without me dying) and I lose too much XP. So i have to kill them all and it takes very long time, but i can do nothing. And you say when I complete all quests i'll be in need to use totems before having enough gear to spark? I cant just level to 60 because of dying, maybe my gear is too low but i havent seen any unique for me dropped. I just cant finish the storyline normally. Maybe Ethereal Knives Nova is better cause it can be switched on the Blood Aqueduct, but I already distributed my points for totems/spark and dont really want to level another character. I will dye from boredom and endless dying if I continue leveling with this no damage and slow **. I dont know where or what the problem, and how to cope with it, please help me	Posted by nikkychi#2861 on Dec 11, 2017, 5:34:48 AM Quote this Post

Have a nice day o/ Hi you more or less need to invest four skillpoints for it. The mana nodes behind MoM and the big mana node in the radius of the intuitive leap jewel. @nikkichi: no clue what you are doin... i died like 2-3 times until I reached lvl 70 and completed the storyline. Please change your privacy settings so I can take a look on your gear, skill tree etc.	Posted by bashtart#2403 on Dec 11, 2017, 6:06:18 AM Quote this Post
For budget, low tier maps, fast clear and lvl. I wanted to switch spark ASAP (dont like totem firestorm) this helmet cost 1 alch in abyss. I have 5l for spark and 5l for Blade Vortex, 70 lvl, shitty gear and 3-4 tier maps its not a problem (boos too) without switching gems. Panicked life flask :* + BV is enough to kill boss. I know its only temporary item but helps a lot(only 1 alch at league start). I start using it at lvl 65(start of 10 act) and its really comfortable Last edited by Balcerr#1593 on Dec 11, 2017, 6:32:40 AM	Posted by Balcerr#1593 on Dec 11, 2017, 6:30:15 AM Quote this Post

I dont know where or what the problem, and how to cope with it, please help me This is exaclty my experience and my thoughts! BUT I have to say that this is MY fault and not the builds or OP. I switched to flameblast during leveling and the time-to-kill was awful. However i tried it a few levels and forget to level firestorm too. When i wanted to switch back, the skill was too weak. I also have to say that this is the first time i am leveling a caster to endgame, so i have lack of knowledge and experience. I rushed, so i was always 2 levels behind the zone level. The worst time was act9 since tunnel with the pocket miners and their burning ground because the totems died in seconds (me too). I did the whole act 10 in a party which was really smooth. Afterwards i did the missing passive quests and labs. Was really easy because firestorm was on a good level (i think i had 600 dps buffed). I leveled to 70 in a party and now i am going to start mapping. I have a budget of 12c plain and start to upgrade jewellery (need more dex for BV). I could have bought a cheap 5L but i dont want to mess around with the colors for totem setup and afterwards for spark setup. I will give an update when i killed merc izaro and switched to spark	Posted by Bisrob#7105 on Dec 11, 2017, 6:59:02 AM Quote this Post
If you have the Arachnoxia Pantheon and a flask like Vinktars or Atziris you could regret Mind over Matter if you have still mana probs. I did it and it is much easyer now. I will spec MoM again when i did uber lab	Posted by ententrainor#1295 on Dec 11, 2017, 7:06:49 AM Quote this Post
