PoE Spark, Mapping builds

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.

Hey, I've been playing Haloplasm's duo spark this league with a ton of success and killed some of the ubers, but I'd like to push it a bit further before the league ends.

Here's my pob: It's mainly focused for blasting maps, hence i went for big hitting sparks, instead of duration. Thanks in advance!

First of all, Why self chill Spark? 30% action speed makes mapping so much more fun. Most of people focus on 30% faster spell cast but for me 30% more movement speed is more important for mapping. Here is the tips I found. 1. Don't rely on reduce mana cost from flask: It just does not work even if you have tier 1 flask charge on crit mod. It never fully active especially on map boss. What you need to do is sacrifice damage from your skill tree and take reduced mana cost nodes, and buy jewels with 5% reduced mana cost. If your amulet has empty prefix, you can craft - mana cost.

Hi, i managed to create my build and i wanted to get as much defence as i could but i'm not getting enough damage to kill bosses of t16 or something like that. I just want to farm t16 maps and kill the boss fast. The clear on t16 is fine, it's the single target on some enemies and boss that falls out. Here is the pob.
