[EA] Spark Stormweaver - Mana Stacking Archmage MoM+CI - freezing/electrocution

"

A large chunk of tooltip (which isn’t the end all, be all) you’re probably missing is from your relatively low mana pool. More mana gives you cast speed, spell damage AND extra lightning damage via archmage (make sure this is qualitied also)… and some other things defensively but unrelated to tooltip.

Edit to add: way forward is increase raw es from gear (and thusly mana from EB), and really max those mana rolls wherever you can get them. Even incremental changes per piece of gear adds up very quickly. Without seeing your exact gear I don’t know where you should start, but if you’re worried about tooltip, increase that mana.

Also, for me, migrating away from Kitoko was scary at first but WELL worth it.

I see lots of areas missing mana, I was focusing on high ES at the start, thanks!

Also, you migrated away from the gloves? Just pure spark now?

Yeah that mana is the KEY.

As far as the gloves - at a certain level of gear, the stun simply becomes irrelevant, especially when stacked up against an additional 170+ mana/resists/etc from a glove slot item. Things are dead almost instantly, so the stun just doesnt have the same uptime or utility.

I'm sitting at 29K spark dps, and I can't really see my life without it, it's so great for big rare and boss. What is for you the breaking point for removing Kitoko ?

Im not sure if I could pinpoint an exact like "ok now is the time" as I switch a lot from the original build over time and gear replacements. It was sometime around when I switched to CoS Conduit and severl gear upgraded including Against the Darkness, Ingenuity and Mahuxotl's.

I'm in a spot where all my upgrades are basically chase uniques, the unique jewel seems to be the cheapest upgrade unless there's specific rolls on it aside from res we're looking for. Could you link your tree so I can see how you restructured it? Sitting at 5400ES w/ 4750 mana atm. I wish the market wasn't so inflated, I'm not earning enough from juiced maps to push this build farther rn.

Hi everyone, apologies in advance for length of post.

Long time gamer, new to ARPG's this year through Diablo 4 & then Last Epoch and loving this so far.

I've got quite lucky with some stuff on my build (got everlasting gaze in 1st merchant on tier 1 maps).

I just wanted a sense check on my passive tree, as i'm not sure I've fully understood the interplay between EB,MOM,Gaze etc and I also have midnight braid kitokos and ghostwrithe- so think it may be a case of "all the gear and no idea".

Spark is showing as 3,680- not seen an orb to get the 4th socket on spark and have corrupted the gem now at 20% quality, so sticking with it for now.

Please could someone have a look at my passives etc and tell me if im missing an obvious damage pool etc? Thank you
