Two relatively cheap, fun Spark builds

Hello,

Lots of fun was had this league. But since I've got limited time to play, it's a bout as much as I could have min-max'ed these builds.

1. Crit LL Spark Elementalist (Cheese version)
The build revolves around a +4 chest. Doryani's Merc is a great addition, but not strictly necessary, since we're an Elementalist. Of course, this version uses 'Coiling Whisper' ring. But since we're Spark, Skill Effect Duration is an anti-synergy, so we *must* use a Reduce Curse Duration ring on the other finger.
Build got decent hit damage, but suffers from rather slow projectiles, which we kind of offset with Soul Eater. Comparitively slow movement speed as well.
Whispers of Infinity for sustaining cast speed with Soul Eater.

2. Life-stack Poison Pathfinder Spark (No cheese version)
This build started as a Winter Orb + perma Dying Sun. However, simply gem-swapping Winter Orb with Spark showed that Spark was simply a much better choice.
We stack skill duration from a couple of sources so Spark lasts quite a long while. Since we have plenty of dex, we tattoo all the dex nodes to projectile speed. I'm currently doing Abyss T17s comfortably. Have done Uber Shaper, but I'm mechanically terrible (as you can see in the video)

- Life on hit permaflasks
- Faster movement speed, faster spark projectiles

Anyway, hope you can pick these up and min-max them properly. Most of all, remember not to get lost in the numbers and have fun! Personally, I hate clicking flask, and love any explosion/proliferation effects. Large HP pool is also a big bonus for me, because I simply lack mechanical skill. So those three things is always a priority to me -- your priorities might differ and we all find fun in different things, so, if you try any of these, make sure to customize them to your liking.
