Path of Exile 2 Builds - [EA] Spark Stormweaver - Mana Stacking Archmage MoM+CI - freezing/electrocution - Forum

Im currently trying to level this build up and im having huuge problems. i managed getting to level 38 with a party. But when im alone i cant do much even against enemies 4 levels lower. I use the leveling mid game tree right now and i wear ghostwraithe, everlasting gaze and kitokos. I assumed things get better with cast on schock but its pretty useless when it releases 1 arc every 2 minutes or so. did this got nerfed since posting the build? is there a point where things get drastically better? any tips are appreciated Last edited by Rikimarius#3688 on Jan 20, 2025, 5:33:01 AM	Posted by Rikimarius#3688 on Jan 20, 2025, 5:16:51 AM Quote this Post

I've 100% pierced between my amulet and my jewels, if you don't opt for this route you would need to have 100% chain by taking the nodes from the tree (6 points in total if you leave from the Eldritch Battery node). I focused on getting shock and exposure, so it's advisable to put "increased magnitude of shock you inflict" in the jewels, and also have at least one of them the mod "Recover 2% of Mana on Kill" to have infinite mana when you're surrounded by mobs. https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAABgcBfP0Vwl8wyMAlCykioxxOmSQSg0md2f8aHsfwVyoMquj0NckIzrHS-i7rRt5n4W4hqJh9AgXuY7bjqjgfIwW8N_Tn4sFoPg0XMFenYg3L54NfcdyIGL3qkc-FyBDHBZl6BrNevagfGKgckBA9DGvq4qDXPat1HmFocyvwoS-2JD2m7-txURTCcS9pGSJ1-XdI2y3Y9NXZnI3FbIk661b_2QInk7XaAtLxiuiSu2g4bu_bVeAMsyBRY93sQ0kdRAygHkl_O_wegdwdmo_GQ8aAS5vzFnzpJ68N72HCjhuCQfHjP4AoShLcSmRyOOCprn2ZcIC3ZhexBwkfAAA= Last edited by IIIBORTXIII#2027 on Jan 20, 2025, 11:53:43 AM	Posted by IIIBORTXIII#2027 on Jan 20, 2025, 11:51:50 AM Quote this Post

Assuming that is anointed from the passive tree? Which one is it? EDIT: "Piercing Shot" 50% right? I currently run Frazzled on my Gaze, but will need to replace that with a good plus skills and stats and get a few jewels to cap Pierce (wow that goes up to 20%?!). This is going to be interesting. I already have a bunch of jewels with Magnify Shock, but no pierce :( EDIT: I moved everything around in my tree, sitting at 24k tooltip. I need an ammy still, but I don't see how that is going to push me to 100k tooltip. What the heck is on your gear?

It is important to have some good rings with a lot of mana (over 250 or more) and damage affixes, this along with an ingenuity belt of more than 60% and the Mahuxotl's Machination shield of more than 550% with soul cores of % mana raise your dps. An amulet with +3 projectiles, 20% cast speed, more mana... It's also important that all of your gear pieces have plenty of energy shield so that it applies that amount to your mana thanks to the EB node. A 700/800 ES body armour, 250ES helmet and gloves... Lvl 21 Archmage 20% Quality + Lightning mastery, Lvl 20 spark 20% quuality...

I tested out the changes and I got to 37k tooltip but my mana regen couldn't keep up with my cast speed. Thanks for the help. I was hoping I could change a few things to test, but it seems like a whole overhaul. I have the the 500%+ shield and close to 200 mana rings but I'd need to find a ammy. Most of my gear is close to that ES requirement. Hmmm	Posted by WadeTheFade#7747 on Jan 21, 2025, 6:01:17 PM Quote this Post
