They actually just added that one, i think the purpose was to skew Shavronne drop rating because there are plenty of ES chest types without a unique, even around occultist's level range...

Hello guys!

After playing for a while I thought I could improve my gear/DPS along with MF.
The problem is, I don't know where to start.

Firstly, I think it'd be good to link my gear so you guys can take a look at it :)


There is some work to do with your gear.
For more dps, pick a wand with Cast Speed, even if it has a bit less spell damage, and level Spark to 20. DPS should be enough after that (yours is 1.8k now, mine is 2k and i feel there's no need for more than that until maps)

For magic find, your helm and jewellery has none, so that's where you must get some. That amulet is awful xD
Forget dps on jewellery for now, get all the IIQ you can squeeze along with fire resists (you don't really need to strictly cap cold or lightning res, but fire is mandatory) and IIR. Try poe.xyz.is or poexplorer to find some cheap replacements.

If you need more dex/str, grab a skill point or two in the tree (way better than wasting an item slot imho)

Your ES is kinda low too, i don't think i have much more ES from gear (I use Hellbringer instead of Aurseize, but my chest & helm give less ES than yours), but i'm around 3.5k full buffed. Maybe you should invest more skill points into ES...

Also... ring with +life???? No thanks xD

Bye
HP buff could hurt a bit. Unless you use chayula (which I don't). 2 units per level meaning a level 80 will receive 160 more life then multiplied by passives... ouch.

They mentioned some of the auras will switch to %. Clarity is a huge cost and may actually decrease if it's % based. Also, they will be buffed which means discipline will be more powerful so perhaps could use a lower level for same effect. Will have to wait and see.

Increase from the buffs could result in a passive or 2 saved from the tree (mana regen from clarity, haste dps etc.) to use towards %increased mana.

Shock stack loss also kind of stinks. Oh well.

In regard to finding a shavs. I found 7 infernals then finally magically one day by myself (as I usually play) I decided to do a vaults of atziri map... BOOM it dropped from a chest. Shavs. It can happen at any time.

It was foreseeable that this build would be nerfed into oblivion. It was the most effective build for a good 6 months and now GGG is hitting it from all angles, lol. If even the slightest additional nerf is applied to this build, it's done, not viable in the new leagues whatsoever, nada. And if those changes are popular enough, this build is dead in 4 months.

If rumours are true and <60 IIQ is all you need in the future (I'm guessing around 200 IIR), there's zero reason to play a sporker. The unique flask is all you need along with perandus.

Add rumours that totem builds will be nerfed and you need to grab totem nodes now and you won't be able to sustain that many crit and ES nodes.

On a personal note, I'd sell my Shavs if I had one now. I'm confident Shavs and Kaoms will be nerfed, though if you're lucky, only in the new leagues for now.

actually, i think righteous fire is a bug skill. This build is time to nerf
both rapter and eckalina are gone
my level 80 sporker will have to find a new mf build then
i had good runs with this build but i was never able to make it into mapping

plus the lags issues which bounds me to either play trio or solo
cant stand full 6 man parties

One of the most fun skills there is in PoE.

But, sure, we can have more silly skills instead that we can try once and never use again... like that spectral throw lol

We'll see what the changes are. If it's just balancing, sporkers should still work. Maybe it takes more passives here and there but it should still work. Hopefully.

Balancing isnt the same as ruining a build, cause a jealous 13 year old complained sporker with MF gear who plays 12 hours a day gets better items than him. I hope GGG know the difference.

I'm sorry but if something new doesn't arise in the next 24 hours, our shining moment has come to an end xD

We have been hit from every possible direction, here's a quick recap:
- All auras except clarity to 60% mana reserved (mana reservation passives added, which will be required and will take skill points away, thus reducing other stats)
- Reduced area coverage of Sparks, reducing effectiveness
- 30% less damage multiplier on RF (HUGE NURF!!11!1)
- 10% less damage from totems (but again, totem damage nodes added so even more skill points needed to keep up status quo)
- Shock stacks nerfed to 30%
- Curse effectiveness on Piety (and other Act bosses) highly reduced
- More base life per level (more burning damage from RF)
- Less max res bonus from Purity aura
- Shavronne total ES nerfed (if you don't happen to have a legacy one)
- Shavronne won't drop outside maps anymore (so either buy it or no maps ever)
- IIQ and IIR diminishing return slightly increased
- Magic find effectiveness biased toward parties instead of solo (i don't understand this one)
- Wondertrap movement speed reduced

And i'm sure i'm leaving something behind.

The only thing i could read on the patch notes which could benefit us is the notable passive that makes Light Radius based on ES instead of life.

Really, i liked this build as long as i could, but the odds are it has come to an end.

Or, at very least, there will be no way to get it on par to what it's now

Bye

Well it's not like you couldn't see it coming. Empower made RF even stronger for the past few weeks, half the new leagues would have played a sporker else. :p
