[3.10] Bashtart's SPARK INQUISITOR * farming like a god! :)

Hi all. I'm new to this build and spark in general. I have done merciless lab now, following the build and recently specced into spark - i can clear trash albeit slowly ish, but the bosses are a real struggle as i have to kite and use spark to kill them. I took MoM off as I couldnt regen any mana.

Here are my items, any advice for cheap defining upgrades would be appreciated as i'm struggling at the moment!!




EDIT: To note, i am *very* broke, so any suggestions in upgrades as priority would be helpful! (In other words, which items are really must have, particularly for survivability!)

thanks

character="ehmkayrwny" x="0" y="0"]@liveawar, I think Vinkars with lightning damage is the way to go for you. then you can swap out one or both life flasks!

@nevzat, you really really need the ring "call fo the brotherhood", you need it to let the build work! And change your blade vortex and spark setup. blade vortex in the helmet, spark in the chest!


Here my current setup, works really really well! Thanks for your tips, bashtart! But bosses are still hard


edit: PS: Vinktar flask is pretty cheap right now, payed 25c for mine.

Just for your info, bashtart: The Herald Pantheon is no longer @ Arcade Map. I cannot open it with the divine vessel. Seems, that most of the Pantheons now are on higher level maps

Oh I did not know that the changed it, do you know where it is now?

You can improve big time for about 2 chaos:
1) Diamond Flask: this flask will give you a crazy dps boost.
2) 5link

I don't think you need more for leveling. I would safe the rest for when you switch to spark.

Big improvement for 1 chaos or for free ... get a Diamond flask!!! (we are inquisitor...most important flask for dps).

Drop Mokou and get a rare ring ... with something like life, resistances, maybe crit chance or cotb if you can afford it.

no, I don't know where to find the Pantheon. Let's see :D

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?

I have been following your build to lvl 81. Still got problems with filling up mana after taking a hit. What could be missing? 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 all!

Am am pretty new to this game, and I can't understand what blood rage does in this build? Could you please explain?

It is explained in the Guide, last Spoiler "Q&A"

"Why are you using blood rage?
I try to explain... when we activate blood rage a pyhsical debuff is applied to us, when we get hit cwdt proct and will activate the arakaali pantheon "50% increased Recovery of Life and Energy Shield if you've stopped taking Damage Over Time Recently" which is a crazy boost to our life regen and leech."


- The Pantheon for 50% inc regenerated life is now on the Map "Toxic Sewer", T5. :)

So in order to keep procing arcane surge we need to constantly spam lightning golem? Seems a bit tedious?? or am I missing something? Is it supposed to just be an occasional thing? or something you want to constantly have up?

I think your minion procs it for himself/herself.
