[Life Based Poison Spark Build Guide]
  15/5/2016 [Introduction] This is pretty much the strongest build I have ever played in over 3k hours of playtime. The amount of poison stacks you can get is unreal. Now lets get a few things out of the way. This is build is chaos and poison oriented meaning we are not going tooltip warrior mode. With the highest end gear you will cap out at 85k tooltip, now don't let this fool you. This doesn't account for the poison and poison double dipping that we acquire. Now lets get started. [Pros & Cons] Pros: - Insane Clear Speed - Any Map Mod - Crazy Single Target Damage (Vaal Spark ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ ) - Very Fun and Safe to play Cons: - Expensive (minimum of 6-10 ex id say) - Requires intermediate knowledge of the game - Some parties might not like you off-screening so many mobs. [My current gear] Currently I have invested over 100 exalts on this build in PSC (over 200 if you count the headhunter). This build still works well under budget conditions with 5 links though. At the moment I am still on the lookout for nicer tri res rings, as well as Temp Chains on Hit Winds Of Change. I also have yet do divine my helm to niceness.

This bow is mandatory. Its the the main build enabling unique here which converts all our damage into chaos letting us stack poison. IMO Coil Is the best Chest you can go for here, it gives us physical mitigation to an extent which we otherwise would not be able get. Another few options would be a Belly of the Beast if you really want that higher life pool instead (6.3K -> 7K), a Lioneye's Vison for a 7L with Faster Projectiles or Controlled Destruction (this chest is very hard to color tho), or just a rare to start off. Here is where my version differs from the current meta. Since our tree is very offence oriented and spends most of its time bridging to templar and Ranger/Shadow, I wanted to get my hands on some more end game defence for lvling my second character to 100. A Drillneck quiver works perfectly fine here. There are no unique helms that are really worth using on this build, so why not use this opportunity to get your resistances capped. At the moment even when using a unique amy, quiver, boots, belt, gloves and a coil, I am T15 ele weakness overcapped (-34 meaning you need 169 in hideout). Victario's Is the by far best in slot here. It provides you with frenzy and power charges as well as a nice amount of double dipping damage and projectile speed. For rings you really just want life and resistances, we are non crit and take Ele Overload, so diamond rings are not necessary. No room for negotiations here, you want these gloves! They give you literally everything you want, from damage to proj speed and life. Try get a temp chains or vuln on hit pair if you can. Here is where you can choose what you like best. I think The Retch is best in slot here due to the amount of running we do and the crazy move speed buff it gives. Headhunter is also fun though :) These are league specifics though and if you are looking for a more budget version for this build i recommend getting a rare resistance life leather belt to make overcapping easier on you. For your boots slot you have some freedom as for what you want to choose depending on how you costumize your character. Instead of using my +1 Frenzy Atziri's steps I went for a pair with the mana and life leech mod. This takes care of all the mana sustain on this build for me. I use Atziri's for the spell block as for other than a Rumi's and the Rearguard, we are not really getting any spell mitigation. For a more damage oriented pair you can try going for a pare of Brinerot's, which provide some res and solid damage. Rares are also fine if you need resistances. My flasks ( I really need to replace on crit with inc dur ) [Gem Setups] 6L - Spark - Spell Echo - Pierce - Void Manipulation - Poison - Increased Duration 6L - Vaal Spark - Spell Echo - Pierce - Void Manipulation - Poison - Increased Duration You can and many people do replace Increased Duration with Controlled Destruction. This is my personal preferance. The rest of the links are totally customizable this is just what I use: 4L - CWDT - Immortal Call - Increased Duration - Stone Golem Stone Golem + Vaal pact??? Yes, I like the taunt, use whatever you want though. Now just throw these gems in your setup: Blink Arrow - (Faster Attacks is nice) Wrath + Herald of Thunder I filled the rest of the sockets with lvling gems, a Portal Gem and Enduring Cry [Ascendancy]  I mean its a scion, what were you expecting ;p Here we take: Berserker 1.5% of Damage Leeched as Life 5% increased Damage taken 25% increased Attack and Cast Speed if you've taken a Savage Hit Recently 10% more Damage and Deadeye 50% chance of Projectiles Piercing 20% increased Projectile Speed Projectiles gain Damage as they travel further, dealing up to 30% increased Damage to targets Skills fire an additional Projectile [Stats] Offence - Charges + Elemental Overload

 Defence - With Flasks (Which are up, literally always thanks to The Retch)

 If using a Belly of the best, your health rises to 7k, evasion drops by a little and armour stays about the same.

Uber viable, but struggles a-bit in Arid lake maps ;)
The Eater Of Souls runs away.

Hi, great build
Have you considered using "Lioneye's Vision Crusader Plate"? For the 7-link, although it requires 6 off colours sockets Regards |
|
" Although many builds do use this, there is the problem with it requiring too many off colors as well as the fact that this chest is there to increase your damage. Damage is something this build specialises in. Im talking solo facetoll red maps at about 2-3 times the speed of most builds. For you depending on your playstyle and what you are looking for in the game, this might be what you want to use, but personally I find enjoyment from high level gameplay and getting lvl 100 characters. Thus the defence from coil for me is absolutely necessary. Thanks for the question :) ༗ IGN: Warcry ༗ ༗ Lvl 100s: #7 ༗ ༗ Twitch.tv/WarcryLive ༗ ༗ Velka's Ravens: 1772222 ༗ ༗ Mirror Thread: 1832043 ༗ #1 ES Wander Opal Ring ༗ #1 Lab Runner Vanguard Belt ༗ Last edited by WarcryLegion#6721 on May 4, 2016, 7:48:24 AM

Surgestion :
Con´s : not really party friendly cuz of the off screening, means loss of exp and loot aint allocated. (u prolly have some fancy answer for this, but doesnt change the fact of what i just surgested, talking from experience) great solo build tho, the new coc discharge/cyclone. // free bump p.s last question, what makes ur build/guide uniq compared to the 100 other voltaxic spark builds ? seems like all the volt. spark builds use same ascendency´s, same tree, and same links/gear, with very few twitches. just wondering.

" Q1: That is totally true, some people don't like sparkers in their party for those reasons. Il add it to the cons list. Q2: Its nothing totally unique compared to whats out there atm tbh, but when browsing different versions, I saw quite a few things that I had optimized for my personal preferred playstyle and figured I might as well share it. That and a really boring free period I had in between two classes xD p.s I like bumps <3 ༗ IGN: Warcry ༗ ༗ Lvl 100s: #7 ༗ ༗ Twitch.tv/WarcryLive ༗ ༗ Velka's Ravens: 1772222 ༗ ༗ Mirror Thread: 1832043 ༗ #1 ES Wander Opal Ring ༗ #1 Lab Runner Vanguard Belt ༗ Last edited by WarcryLegion#6721 on May 5, 2016, 9:50:07 AM
