[2.2] The Arcane Archer 2.0 - Voltaxic Spark by CantripN
 Theme - TLC - No scrubs (MrCØ Edit) Well, Chaos has come a long way since Voltaxic Arc was BoTW, has it not? This time, I'll be showing how to make an extremely effective Low-life Crit Voltaxic Sparker. Ascendancy brought back ES Casters as a viable option, and Occultist's Wicked Ward is INSANE for defense, while a -20% Chaos Resist aura is downright broken, and Free Power Charges? OP. Stats (level 94): 8551 ES, Recovery after 0.66 secs at ~3000/sec (Wicked Ward) ~13.5k ES with Vaal Discipline (~6.8 sec duration) 127/977 Mana (Clarity + Rallying Cry + Boot Enchant for sustain) 36883 Tooltip DPS + Poison in Hideout 68492 Tooltip DPS + Poison with 7 Power / 3 Frenzy (normal DPS) 125527 Tooltip DPS + Poison DPS with Vaal Haste and Flasks Actual DPS:
Spoiler
Shock is 50% Increased Damage Taken Projectile Weakness 20/36 with 10% Increased Effect is 68% Increased Damage Taken Pierce is 30% More Damage Void Manipulation is 40% More Damage Spell Echo is 10% Less Damage (for Poison) Frenzy Charges are 12% More Damage (for Poison) Poison Duration is 62% More Damage Temporal Chains adds 44% More Duration to Poison Void Beacon is -20% Chaos Res Rallying Cry adds some DPS, but let's ignore that, shall we? Diamond Flasks take my Crit Chance from 69.2% (with 7 Power Charges) to 90.51%, but we're also ignoring that for now :D Culling Strike is like 11% More Final DPS (Solo), but we're also going to ignore that. My Increased Damage for Poison is 307% + 40% during Flask Effect. That means fully buffed DPS against a Shocked target is... 328379 + 3286696 Poison DPS! Remember, this is before Rallying Cry / Diamond Flask / Culling Strike Effect... Passes 4-5 Mil with all those, by a lot. Tree: Gear:
Spoiler
Jewels: Flasks: Yeah, I don't use a Drillneck, losing out on a good chunk of Projectile Damage. You don't need more DPS, you ALWAYS need better defences. Soul Strike is simply amazing! Leveling is done as CI (or Hybrid if you prefer). If you don't have 5 Corrupted Items, stick with a Rare Belt or Auxium, and don't use Hungry Abyss. If you do, make sure to grab 0.2% Leech on the Quiver :). Base Tree:

This tree is assuming you use Victario's. If you use Eye of Chayule, grab the 30 STR/DEX passives instead of Practical Application.

Will update the post once I get the right Enchant on my new boots.
Also made a small respec. Atm, 9008 ES, over ~1.6 Mil DPS fully buffed (same math, it's about 1.9 Mil accounting for Diamond Flasks). Tooltip with Vaal Haste and Flask = ~75k!

Is this the best, most powerful spark build available?
|
|
" Barring Mirror Gear, I believe so. Will update stats with new amulet soon. Over 60k with charges, over 110k fully buffed. -- Using Hungry Abyss permanently now. 58674 DPS with Charges, 107034 with all buffs. is sooo nice :D Hungry Abyss Mechanics means I leech from all types of Leech based on Chaos Damage dealt, giving me quite a large amount of leech all the time.

Ok, so i know it is powerful. Now, it is the most overpowered spark build without 10+ exa investment?
|

" Hmm. A life Crit build with a Lioneye can come quite close. But I do think this is better. For that budget you can get anything I have other than 21 gems, a 6l and a +1 curse amulet.
