Spark + Cast on shock arc(bosses) Mana Stacking Stormweaver - cool Sorceress Starter build

Hey guys Im Angren and was mostly a Diablo4 Content creator but want to switch my focus to POE2 now.

I played POE1 for around 5k hours before I stoped and also playing ARPG games since 1997 so im REALLY hyped for poe!

It is a build that is mainly for softcore!


The Sorceress Stormweaver Spark mana Stacking can be an really amazing Day1 Starter Build in Path of Exile2 and will get all of your defensive and offensive layers trough stacking your mana!

I hope you like the build guys! spark was one of my most favourite skills in poe and I played spark every league!
Also because it is kinda my first poe build guide please leave feedback)! As I said Im a d4 content creator switch to poe2 now <3

If I forgot something or you have some questions plz write/ask it in the comments!



Leveling


(Old dont use it only if you already went into the tree - you need to respec points in order to switch to the Endgame setup)

Leveling Charplaner

take this charplaner for leveling: I added the Leveling Skills / Skilltree from the other charplaner into this so you dont have to respec your points! look unto the tab beneath the skill gems

Full charplaner on mobalytics


so for your Level Setup:

before arc:

spark - pierce - x
ember fussiliade - x
flamewall

should be enough in act1 to melt everything


Very important!!! With lvl 31 get Mana tempest ASAP as it will be your main dmg boost, it will give you crazy amounts of lightning damage that will solve your single target problem until you get cast on shock comet!

with arc:

Arc - controlled desdruction - Unleash


Multi target spark - pierce - arcane tempo

curse: conductivity - heigtehened curse - focused curse / hex bloom

flamewall - fortress

orb of storms - chain

raging spirit - fire infusion / x

Mana tempest (gem at lvl 31) - inspirtation - murderous intent

rota -> cast curse -> cast firewall -> cast orb of storms -> cast spark / arc

if you have mana tempest cast it in between

Dont go for mind over matter, only in the endgame



so as we all know now the AE Dmg is good but the Single target was the real problem, unfortunately I had to switch around the half of my skilltree went from the left side of the tree to the right side, and I speced in two nodes,

30% inc dmg when we shock
30% inc dmg when we ignite, thanks to the spark flamewall combo we do this very often so this will boost our dps.
at the beginning take path of shocks
then breath of lightning
then echoing thunder + flames
then all the lightning nodes (lightning quick etc)

When you have the Cast on shock gem and link it to comet ( you should be in a pretty good spot



for your boss play:

cast flamefall, conductivity, orb of storms and then spam arc, with that combo I manage to down the single target encounters atleast not that bad.

so sry guys that there were some shifts around but with this setup you should be able to reach the goal to Cast on shock and when you get comet well... then its just spam your shock skills until comet kills everything






skilltree


Only take mind over matter when you have mana to sustain both your Casts and also your Dmg taken from your mana! get some mana regen nodes and mana nodes first and also maybe Arcane surge.

I will update the skilltree when Im POE2 is live and I will also include this into pob as soon as it will get released

Just committed all my gold to switch to this. How do you deal dmg around level 20? Just started Act II and I have no damage, nor resistance, considering that all the points that were devoted to mana nodes (most of them) are worthless at this point, without mind over matter

So first get archmage as soon as you can.

but before archmage play with

ember fusillade - controlled destruction - Ignition / other support gem as your single target for bosses

when you have arc use that in combinqation with ember fusillade for your single target

spark - conduction / pierce - unleash as your multi target

use orb of storms - arcane surge to enhance your spark

and frost bomb for freeze.

for your gear / res / life try to use your currency obs and get your res trough your gear by using your orbs, and always move while you cast your ember and max your ember to 6 stages and then cast spark.

and try to get to mind over matter as fast as you can get
I shall try this! Looks great! If you have time I'd love to hear your updates and thoughts :)
thanks for this i'll give it a go after i switch out my points.

thanks! Spark was my most favourite skill in poe1 xD

yep will do an update guide on yt how you solve early struggles before you get archmage and will also update this guide along my way until the endgame :)

yeah but they disabled it because it would be to broken with all the mana nodes haha, it will be renabled later in the EA
