How does this build fare against single target? Is it just average or really struggles against bosses?


Single target is really good, maybe not as good as incr duration spark in smaller rooms, but in the bigger boss rooms this version is just as good, if not better. So far i haven't found single target to be a struggle whatsoever, and i've done up to t13 maps

Not sure how you can miss 6 points at lvl 70, 69 from level-ups, 22 from quests (took passive in cruel, regretfully) and 2 from scion ascendancy, that adds up to 93 :-\


I solved the problem, after looking through and comparing skilltrees, i figured out you refunded your points in the piercing wheel.



Also what's your thought on enchantments?

Ah yea, i respecced out of those as soon as i did merc lab and picked up deadeye.

Not sure about enchants, the right helmet enchant is next to impossible to get, unless you are lucky or buy a helm with the enchant. For boots and gloves you probably want anything that is lightning damage, just to make sure you dont take any unexpected burst damage in reflect maps
Great build, i'm level 81 in PSC and i've been having a blast.
My only issue is the defensive part of it is kinda lacking, granted i'm still wearing a tabula i often get oneshot by stuff since i have like 36 armor :)
I guess it's more or less a glass cannon, incredibly fun build though

It's not really glass cannon. Im sitting at about 5.3k life on lvl 90, acrobatics and respectable evasion. I wouldn't describe it as tanky whatsoever, but it certainly isn't glasscannon either

In regards to above, wouldn't this enchant for Boots be a great option? Would also help a lot with mana.
0.5% of Damage Leeched as Life and Mana if you've Killed Recently

I'm currently running a wand+spirit shield crit/duration variation of the Scion spark build (lightning/cold damage) but I'm highly considering switching over to yours. My main issues now are reflect (not even reflect maps, but I can easily kill myself even with single random reflect pack) and longer bossfights (Izaro/Atziri). Chaos damage should definetly resolve the first one, and my assumption is that poison helps a lot with the second one.

I already got the bow + quiver but haven't re-specced the passives yet. It feels like I lost a lot of oomph (even though sheet dps is similar-ish). So I'm having some second thoughts about investing 30 Orbs of Regret on the passive tree. Do you have any experience with the non-chaos variations of this build (in comparison)? Any comments on my concerns?

Do you mind posting your current tree? Or at least the tree you had at level 90 to give you those dps numbers. I'm 86, with VERY similar gear, 6L chest, near identical jewels and I don't foresee hitting 90k+ dps at level 90 with the 4 passives I have left. I'd really appreciate it!

Cheers, great build, tons of fun. Killed Atziri / can farm merc lab decently quick.
It would also help to have a screenshot of the Offence screen without power/frenzy charges or damage potions. Eg. only with heralds and minion at the hideout.

I don't actually think the enchant is that great. Clearing trash is no problem whatsoever for this build, so imo the best enchants are the ones that give you more power on bosses (like damage if you havent killed recently)

Can't say i have a lot of experience with the non-chaos variant, but what is there to say really? The difference is simply that the non-chaos variant has a higher damage potential, but the chaos version is safer and can run more map mods.

I'm guessing the damage difference is because your spark is still only level 19?

Level 90 build

Can't do an accurate number right now since i have weaker gear right now (sold some of my gear so i can play other builds), but i can tell you that my tooltip damage in hideout with heralds and flame golem up is 49.5k, without charges or onslaught

Thanks for the reply! Yea, I meant to mention my spark is 19, but I tried to do some rough calculations and still didn't come near the 90k mark. Also, quality on your gems gives you some added dps. I was going to wait till spark was 20 to compare but it just seemed like that wasn't enough.
