PoE Mageblood, Spark builds

This league was by far my most successful. I started out as poison seismic sabo and had a great time. The dps was lackluster for endgame so instead of dumping loads of currency I built a CoC Ice Spear Occultist. That character deleted bosses, especially Lycia; the downside was how squishy it was. I had trouble doing invitations and if I wasn't on point with my timing certain pinnacles would make me use a portal. Not the end of the world, but I HATE dying. So I farmed a ton with a(n) RF jugg (made maps so trivial and since you never die you just zip through everything). That got old and I misse

I commented in a thread about my CI Poison Spark build the other day, and there seemed to be some interest about my approach to what is quite a popular build this league, so I thought I'd make a post. My philosophy is that I want to hit the DOT cap, with good Wither uptime, and after that I focus on hit damage and defenses, namely in the amount of a high ES pool. At 10.31 casts per second (11.27 with Smite active), the build is extremely mobile and generally hits the DOT cap in 2-3 seconds, depending on the arena. I eschew Awakened Deadly Ailments and Awakened Unbound Ailments in favor of A

I was very fortunate to be gifted a Mageblood. My Inquisitor power level shot way up, but still has a very long way to go to my goal if no-hit Sanctum runs. I have an excellent Relic (stolen from my main char) which helps a lot with the auras. I've got clusters set up for aura stacking, and about 6 Divines worth saved up. I'm hoping for input on what I should improve next. I think my gloves are in a good spot, and clusters are pretty close. But I'm not sure where to focus next. Some ideas: 1) Swap in a 2nd Snowstorm Cluster, about 4% improvement 2) Buy/Craft a better +3 Spark helmet
