Use Brand Recall to force the secondary debuff from Wintertide Brand to activate faster. Cold Snap for single target. Swap to Devoto's Devotion for more movespeed (also lets you drop the dex node). Can also swap Malevolence for Haste. Sadly can't really use Petrified Blood, on paper it's more ehp than Discipline but Vaal Discipline is more useful imo. Leave out LL if you want to be tankier. I left out Defiance Banner for now because of reservation issues. Get the remaining few k evasion from ring or amulet prefix or higher rolls on flask and gear or something, Utmost Intellect is also very use

I had a weird thought of scaling Spark a little different than usual, namely scaling projectiles and duration. On a level 25 Spark you get 8 proj base, divergent Spark gives 1 additional proj per 10% gem quality. Max gem quality is 139%, so no use in maxing it out as much as possible, 120% or even just 100% gem quality is rather easy (Dialla's, Enhance, Ashes). Would make for a base of around 20-30+ proj. Scaling proj speed, duration and cast speed I feel like this could increase the hit rate drastically. Just fill the entire screen in Spark projectiles, moving at zoom speed and lasting 'fore

Rough idea of the build, just the framework. I've had this idea for a couple leagues now, basically it's about how you can trigger Infusion for skills you are not actually channelling by triggering Infusion with for example Cyclone, while having a seperate Infusion setup with channelling skills of other damage tag types. The medium cluster notable "Rapid Infusion" gives 50% inc effect of Infusion, so for example from 10% more dmg of supported gems dmg type tag to 15%. With the 9 in the pob it becomes 55% more dmg for every damage

It's 147% now. Ed: I bunged up, I just now realise the Catarina mod only affects Support Gem Quality. This is bad. Sadly this mean 140% Quality can only be reached with a double implicit synth item with unveiled Gem Quality from Haku. Makes the Catarina mod pretty useless tbh, I will revise my crafting now, I have to think a bit about this. Sadge. Yet another ed: Some Gems can still go up to 149% in total with everything perfect, it's just that the Active Skill Gem needs to also have the Support Gem Tag (Predator for example). Any other Active Skill can only ever go to 141%, and those 2 last

Ditch the title, it's now "131% Gem Quality" I have developed all this a little further, I have now made this Sword, which can get to a grand total of 131% gem quality. The rest of this post is the initial version and it's many edits, in short, you can also get this on a 1h or a shield, though you cannot get the +1 all gems prefix on shields, so a maximum of 6% less possible. Not that any +1 support gems +6% quality synth shields exist right now, but that sword didn't exist yesterday either, and now it does. Here's a clean pob with the Sword and an example shi
