Heya Koranuso,

I'm new to PoE and don't understand all of the mechanics yet but this build is the most appealing to me so I started a new toon last night and am going to give it a shot. I had a question about the points in shield defense. I assume you were going for the last two granting 10% Ele Res each but I wanted to know how critical they are to the build? In other words, is not taking them a potential build breaker? I was thinking about the getting Mean Streak instead to add more Crit chance and multiplier.

Thanks for the solid, concise guide.

Thought I would add the Templar variation of this build.

You gain 2 skill points
You gain 3% spell damage

You loose 16% to max mana
You loose 9% cast speed

You can put the 2 points into:
30% more lightning/fire/cold resist
14% lightning damage 5% shock
8% increased max mana 20% mana regen 6% cast speed

Just thought I would share :)

I think I have found a better way to run a spark totem build. I did not say "spork" for a reason.


First of all you have to know that rightous fire has a lot of SEVER TRADEOFFS. Yes, the damage buff looks nice, but there are way to accomplish high damage without big disadvantages.


In my new build I went the CI-Shockstacking totem build.

I dont want to go into the details, but the basic idea is to maximize spelldamage/castpeed/ChanceToShock/Shock duration

Shockstacking is not as easy as it seem because even if you can easily get 24% Chance to shock(curse+20%through passives) you will probably not shock hard enemies, because they are resistant.

As a consequence increasing shockduration is the key in order to pass the treshhold.


One of the more interesting changes I made to my build is switching FORK to PIERCE. First I was skeptical but after I tried I am sure for 100% that pierce is FAR SUPERIOR to fork.

1, your overall AOE is even better. Fork gives 9x70% while(=630%) Pierce gives 3x 100% * 3,22(966%)

the factor 3,22 comes from the chance to pierce which is maximum at 69% -> 1/(1-0,69) = 3,22

2, The next reason for using pierce is the damage effectiveness. For shockstacking I want big blows instead of many minor ones


Even though my pierce is only lv ~9(but 20%) I am already certain that its better then fork, try it out, you will be surprised how effective it is!



Though I do not have a 5/6l yet I think Lighting Penetration Gem is absolutly MANDATORY.
Normal enemies die almost immidiatly in maps, but the problems are enemies which are curse immune and have addition lighting resistance.

I dream of shockstacking them :) but before I need to max damage and shock duration.



My character is "only" level 77 and I see tons of potential in my passive skill tree and items. I am almost RUNNING THROUGH lv 66-68 maps and only get stopped by the mentioned curse/lighting resist enemies for a littel bit but though my gems are only lv 18 the damage feels incredible strong.(not using lighting pen yet)


Another BRO-Tipp I can give you is to use shield and espacialyl ELEMENTAL RESISTANCE with shield.

I see so many people tacking mindlessly ES but resistance on shield + block chance gives you SO MUCH SURVIVABILIY.
This survivability frees up itemmods for you so you can stack IIQ/IIR or even more damage


Currently I am extremly satisfied with my build. Its indredible effective and comfortable to play.

Some key stats:

lv 77
892 DPS lv 18 spark(+pierce+faster casting) room for lighting pen and IIQ/IIR/20% added lighting damage
avarage resistance 42%
~4700ES with CI
37% block/20% spellblock
106% quantity(!!)

Still I think I have garbage items.


I wanted to make a RF build too but its a pain in the as in so many aspects, better stick to the new OP "dual sparce shockstacking witch"
I am positive that the shockstacker build has even more damage potential then a RF build which has to spend so much stats/skills into defensive things just to be able to upkeep the RF.
