[EA] Spark Stormweaver - Mana Stacking Archmage MoM+CI - freezing/electrocution
|
question:
since you covered all lightning dmg to cold, why still use lightning nodes on your tree, not cold nodes? |
|

Pro-tip which the author still didn't add: you can annoint your amulet into Piercing Shot (50% chance to pierce), thus freeing your support gem slot in Spark. You can put Electrocute here, Kitoko gloves is not needed (yes, you will lose shock from Spark, but still you can use Orb of Storms for that, which, again, the author removed from their guide somehow). Respeccing into Elemental Storm requires at least 4k mana (EB + The Everlasting Gaze amulet), but it's worth it a lot, your clear tempo increases + helps with bosses. Don't get rid of Orb of Storms and put Ingenuity + Cold Mastery + Controlled Destruction + Considered Casting + Magnified Effect into Elemental Storm. If you get Rain Dancer in ascendancy tree, your Storm will result in 1.54 sec cooldown = spam Storms in the entire screen.

" It's covered in the jewel section, bro. Anoint + a bunch of 15-20% pierce jewels to replace the pierce support is already covered in the guide. Orb of storms is mentioned in the gem section. Removing kitokos severely hurts cc with big mobs and is very much not recommended. Last edited by theherbalist#5190 on Dec 30, 2024, 11:29:57 PM

Hi everyone, I'm leveling a new character following this build. Spark really does suck early on, I seem to do no damage, are there any tips for it feeling better or a different build to follow while leveling?

You can try to use different skills, Spark damage doesn't really take off until 58 when you get Archmage support. There isn't really a way to make the damage great before then.

A low level +3 lifesprig helps immensely. It still sucks until archmage though.

" Sorry if it it was already mentioned before but would you be able to also share your skill gem setups? I just started and progressing but it seems like the original post of this build is long outdated and there are too many updates/reiterations from others.

Does it make sense to take the Shaper of storms ascendancy node to unequip the kitokos and put in some gloves with ES, mana, resistances etc...?

Thinking out loud here…
So the ascendency that causes all damage from hits to contribute to shock. It seems no one takes it… and at first it made sense as it seems useless if you’re purely lightning… but this got me thinking: There’s a node in the passive tree (I have it, forget what it’s called) that adds %Extra as cold. Also on 99% of our wands, we have extra %damage as ____. Having that ascendency would make those various types of damage contribute to shock, which would be huge. Way more impactful than crappy crit storm thing. It’s hard for me to tell via testing because everything on the screen gets deleted regardless, but, feedback/discussion needed.

" The way I understand conversion/"gain as extra" in poe 2 is that it only applies to base damage and not the damage you allready "gain as extra", you can see this in the skill tooltip when taking the %lightning as cold node, its a miniscule amount of damage since it doesnt scale the archmage damage (which is where most of our flat comes from). As such the ascendancy seems kind of bad since 95+% of our damage is still going to be lightning. |
