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

I'm looking at some other Poison Spark Occultists on poe.ninja and trying to figure out how their DPS is so much higher than mine. I've got a couple questions on where to go from here: I'm seeing a lot of use of Steady Torment. I'm sure I'm missing something super obvious. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out where bleeding is being applied from. Big differences in gear I'm seeing are Grand Spectrum jewels & weapon. Even adding

Hello everyone So at this time of the league after i finish all my league goals (finishing challenges getting mageblood and having a lot of currency) I do my own builds from scratch (mostly shitty build ideas) So this time i plan to do an energy blade build and have some questions 1- is energy blade with doryani prototype a good way to play this kind of builds 2- is there a good skill to use with energy blade ppl used to do it with helix but don't know if its good after the nerf 3-is playing a flicker stricker energy blade a good ideaty all for you replays i decided at the end to go ener

Saw somebody post their Poison Winter Orb build earlier today and thought I'd share the Poison Ball Lightning I made. It's more or less identical to Poison Spark, both in tree and gameplay feel, except for bossing when I swap gems and rings. You (probably) shouldn't play this? It does feel a tiny bit worse than Poison Spark in doing most things. But it was a nice change of pace for a bit, and I have a strong suspicion that as long as you have an Original Sin, you could get Ball Lightning going farther on a smaller budget than Spark. (i.e. if I had no Mageblood or Nimis or Grand Spectrums e
