[3.18] Spark RF Inquisitor | 86-90% All Resistances - 75/75 Block - Aegis Aurora - High Regen

"

Hey, I have a question. IDK why but sometimes when I cast sparks I'm stopping and can't recast in for about 2-3 sec. I'll be appreciate if u help me to fix it. Also, it seems like I lack of DPS and survivability.

Pls: check my items and tree

Not really sure what you mean, 2-3 seconds of no casting seems too long. Are you running out of mana? Even if you run out of mana, you should be able to cast again after regenerating for less than 1 second. 2-3 seconds sounds like you are being silenced or stunned or something. Do you have stun immunity from pantheon?

If you are properly utilizing Fanaticism, the mana cost of your spark should be 0 or close to 0. You should never have mana issues.

Your life regeneration is extremely low, are you able to keep RF on permanently? That's a big boost to your damage.

You only have 450 life regen with RF, and 50 negative ES regen. This is a net of 400 regen. My build has over 2700 net regen. You have barely 1/6 of my total regen. Without regen, and using RF, of course you will have really bad survivability. You will get obliterated by any degens/DoTs and have no way to recover life quickly. Try turning RF off until you get better regen.

You also have no way to generate frenzy charges. If you aren't using a Frenzy chestpiece, you are better off using a Skin of the Lords.

Bump - Added some basic videos. May add some more before the 3.17 league ends of bosses/Maven invites when I get some free time.

I'll continue to monitor this thread for questions but only sporadically - too busy between work and Elden Ring :)

Enjoy the rest of the league, Exiles!

Hello!

Which mechanic are you exploiting that allows for spamming spark so fast and not running out of mana. I may be missing something obvious?

Fanaticism reduces all mana costs by 75%.

Coupled with some decent regen, a low level clarity, and/or some reduced casting costs, you don't even need an enduring mana flask to handle spark casts.

Actually, with Fanaticism up, my spark costs 0 mana - literally free.

I feel foolish, lol! I went with the 2nd QoL option you presented because I didn't think I would have the mana regen to use Instruments of Zeal. (Harmony of Purpose).

Time to put my Instruments of Zeal back in play! Thanks for the answer. Also, I love this build. It has taught me a lot about mechanics I had never looked into before.

Cheers.

hello! can you update the POB or add different options?
its really confusing to compare your gear with the pob link you provided, especially the aura setup-
thank youu

I don't fully understand what you are looking for. The PoB link has the exact same gear that is shown in the gear section. The skill gem section lists the exact links, including the aura setups.

Are you asking for better labeling of the skill gem setups?

I changed the socket group names, if this helps. Or clarify what you are looking for exactly.

No, definitely not. However, without Fanaticism you will need to run an enduring mana flask in order to maintain spark casts.

can you show the noob like us how to search for those rares in poe.sale? ty!

I added a small section called "Rare Gear Search Examples" in the OP, underneath "Watcher's Eyes."

It may be difficult to find the exact types of items you need this late in a league, prices are very inflated and options are limited. Some pieces will be much easier/cheaper to obtain if you self-craft them.

hello, this is my pob https://pastebin.com/H8ncsmQ3
can you help me on gearing tips? i cant use rf because my life goes to 1 in 5 seconds, i guess i will to replace the crown helm and the skin cheastpiece?
also i dont have regen in my gloves, maybe is that the issue?

on the other hand, im not able to substain all the auras provided in your previous pob, what im missing?


PD: I HAD ZEALOT KEYSTONE ACTIVATED SO I COULDNT REGEN LIFE, which turns me into top tier 1 NOOB of this league, but still dont know aura to use...
