At 08:35, the 'Concentrated Effect' support skill gem does not increase the damage of the 'Lightning Conduit' skill. You can confirm in the skill details that the damage does not increase. It seems to only reduce the 'area of effect'. Please check this.
If you are using the widowhail setup (Spark is a Projectile Skill which you can improve with Quiver), you can put 30 Spirit in the bow, and 45 with a corruption
Grim feast, shock, spark, and arcane surge/effect are the most likely nerfs I think. Potentially also gaze and ghostwrithe working with eb as well. But those do seem intended, and may not be as op if the others are fixed. Side note, the main reason I mention shock is because we can stack up over 200 shock on an enemy in poe2 which would be absolutely insane in poe1.
shock is already 20 with no investment. i think they are more likely to nerf LC than shock, or else non-stormweaver shock with no investment is so pitiful.
Problem with soul offering is its buffs are gone if offering is killed, and that shit falls over whenever something touches it. Whats weird is that its considered your minion but last gasp dont work with it.
You can look into using a Sceptre in the offhand as you can easily get the spirit required as well as the two free skeletal warriors to use for soul offering (You can also use persistence/25% offering skill duration jewels to increase the buff timer). The stats are decent too (Mana, Int, Str, Mana Regen, etc.). Cheers, and have a wonderful 2025 anime princess ~
Thats very true, everyone is using this Sygil but with septres offering 120+ spirit with the right afffix, I'm sure you can have both offensive and defensive curses on at the same time.
Hey ! Thanks for all the infos on the spark build first, real quality stuff ;). I've got a question about Arcane Blossom, i don't see it in your build, but it says "Mana Recovery rate", and it seems to be another multiplier different from "Mana Regeneration Rate", can you confirm that ? I've done some testing but i'm not quite sure it's correct. If you could tell me what you think about this that'd be much appreciated ! Thanks again for all the Spark content, good stuff ! :).
Great build once again! Just a question, do you feel its worth keep dumping currency on spark since will be, most likely nerfed? Thx for the amazing guides, since poe1 been blasting your spark!
yes i think its worth it! spark is extremely fun as a skill and ive been playing it thru its ups and downs for 3 years straight. even if u find another spell with more dps, it just wont feel the same!
crit requires more investment. its a great scaler but it would mean moving around alot of points including defensive ones. i think its a good option when you are REALLY minmaxing but overall i would recommend lightning rod + wild storm since its much easier and straightforward to set up. no passives or jewels required.
I often see people saying that Sorcerers are going to get hit hard with nerfs. Is GGG known for doing this? Achieving this kind of damage and survivability takes a lot of investment and time to reach. Meanwhile, my friend, who plays a Monk, is absolutely crushing fully juiced T15 maps with ease.
Idk why people are saying this. Only Warrior doesn't have builds like this one, in fact, it's easier to make speed clear builds on ranger and monk.. They should just make warrior playable instead of ruining builds again. It's like this because they destroyed cast on freeze, so people started playing archmage+lightning to compensate because it's the only really viable end game way to do anything on Sorceress.
@@Hekk. I completely agree. Honestly, I’m worried that all the time I’ve invested might be wiped out again with another nerf, simply because the top 1% are making insane clearing builds. Don’t get me wrong, I love seeing those builds in action. They’ve put in the time and invested a ton of divines to reach that level. You’re absolutely right: instead of nerfing us into the ground, they should focus on bringing other classes up to par, especially Warriors. After running over 100 maps, I’ve noticed the drops often aren’t worth the effort and if they slow down clearing further, it really won’t feel worth the time vs reward. Occasionally, I’ll get something valuable to sell on the trade site but no upgrade for my class. Early acess, so hopefuly these issues will be iron out.
@@CouchGladiator Well, if I am forced to unwillingly change my entire build for the 3rd time because they nerf something fun, due to top 1% people doing 'too well', especially if it's literally something the game pushes you towards (skill recommendations point you towards playing cast on freeze/archmage) - I will just drop the game until it stabilizes.
Yeah, we’ll see. Everyone out here screaming ‘nerf sorc’. I’m just like bro, this shit took me 300 hrs and half a mirror worth in gear to achieve. Shouldn’t I be allowed to be super strong at that point…?
I just need this to get me past t8 maps lol. Trying so many guides and still cant seem to get spark to whrere it needs to be. Ill look into this when i get home.
Hi AP, I am following your build, 81 lvl rn, the damage output is preatty nice, altough I have only 16k dmg on spark but maybe that's due to thge gear which is still lacking +1 on wand and +1 on focus to spell skills. But my main issue rn is mana regen, I am constantly running out of mana, any ideas why? I follow your passive tree, currently not having curse slots and some of energy shield ones, but there's no room for more mana regen at all :/
rings, body armor implicit (expert keth raiment), clarity if u have the spirit, etc. have to scale it on gear... or you could unspec some dps or defense nodes and get a bit more on the tree
the reason it doesn't kill you is because it is a sacrifice spell. Since most sorcs don't have life, this spell works w/o losing life because you can not sacrafice what you don't have
there are 4 different build guide videos with attached mobalytics pages on my playlist. they all have different budgets so its like a progression to help u along no matter how much money u have. ruclips.net/p/PLGPotsSEuoQF46NmXTrutGjOgGgU8eHZr
I just don't buy this anymore....maybe I'm just getting to old to play i can not accend i got two coins 5 characters and the first time on my sorc full honor then out of nowhere an explosion and more than half gone no idea what happened. I don't understand ascending because even no hits i died from nothing
I literally came to leave a comment on your Spark build: "What about teching in Grim Feast from the Witch tree for doubling your Energy Shield for just 30 spirit cost?" and then I see this video LOL
the best defensive layer without no investment to spirit or gear is just to swap one gem in spark for energy shield % on kill. You could have saved 10mins of broken mechanics that are getting nerfed with atleast 1 good advice
@kureysalp you are not giving all up just one and because one of the gems is always utility gem or single target gem like duration/mobility gem you can swap these out for mapping as its actualy not giving you any tooltip dps anyway and trading it for es leech which also allows you to do burning ground maps or maps with less recovery is a must if you ever wanna hit level 100. Grim feast is nowhere near to this gem as you still gotta pickup souls while with this gem you just get your es back instantly For bossing you would prob swap the gem back for duration one but thats same for grimfeast as its useless for boss encounters aswell (for example arbiter)
for me this is exactly what makes it fun! i do not want to waste my energy trying to aim my spell, i just want to watch things die as mouse over my loot :D
Looks like bug using. Hm without bugusing/gamebreaking mechanics my arc make still more dmg than this spark and your build dont feel the spark stormweaver.
live shortly @ www.twitch.tv/animeprincess
U don't have mobalytic or maxroll for build?
1. Put Archmage on Weapon 1 not on Weapon 2
2. Clerics 2 and Offering on Weapon 2 staf or what ever (Make sure Archmage is off)
3. use offering on ur bar to swap weapon press it again to Activate the offering
4. press spark on ur bar to swap back and do dps
ps.: Doing the swaps to fast kills the buff so just chill a bit between swaps

My sceptre got 171 + the % bonus
@@T.K.9 are you using it on a weapon swap for spark? Does it work?
Yea but I need my sigil of power as well
Scepter can't give +levels to spells, % spell damage, nor cast speed. They also tend to give alot of aura stats too

Thanks again for all the Spark content, good stuff ! :).
it may be bugged but its not giving alot of mana regen atm
Its just for tankiness. It doesn t go up with the mana. So you get no buff ecxept from the tankiss

Get the feeling grim feast is on the chopping block too
it for sure is, hella broken lol
Plus the damage of these builds is going to be gutted.
At this point every build will be on the chopping block
I stopped upgrading gear until new patch
@@faiz697 Everything but Warrior is probably getting nerfed.
Hey Anime, just wondering overall speaking late game. Does non crit Lightning rod scale higher than crit variant? No pob to test haha
crit requires more investment. its a great scaler but it would mean moving around alot of points including defensive ones. i think its a good option when you are REALLY minmaxing but overall i would recommend lightning rod + wild storm since its much easier and straightforward to set up. no passives or jewels required.

apparently nerfed. As soon as I switch to wands, after 5 seconds the damage returns to normal. Or am I doing something wrong
i think you are doing something wrong.
Ablation is not the bug,your full life is 1 and ablation takes around 15% of your life so you ended with 0,15 life.
that part may not be a bug but i think the weapon swap is probably not intended to work
@@anime.princess If this weapon swap shouldnt work, then why should weapon swapping to drop curse, sigil of power etc? it is the exact same mechanic.
I just need this to get me past t8 maps lol. Trying so many guides and still cant seem to get spark to whrere it needs to be. Ill look into this when i get home.
it was fixe for the soul offering? Looks like its not working anymore
Grim feast is definately getting a timer

He's got regain % mana on kill on his passive tree gems, makes a big difference.
rings, body armor implicit (expert keth raiment), clarity if u have the spirit, etc. have to scale it on gear... or you could unspec some dps or defense nodes and get a bit more on the tree
why does your character move so fast, i have +30ms but it feels like i move half your speed
Grim feast is going to get nerfed but Still be good for mapping even if it is nerfed by 50% or 75% but still does the same overflow mechanic.
I just use a font of mana in my off hand 180 spirit
What does grim feast do to my ES if I have the notable that turns ES into mana?
you need the unique amulet to convert it back to ES
@anime.princess oh shoot, which one? Is it worth it you think?
The unique chest Morior invictus good for spirit too
the reason it doesn't kill you is because it is a sacrifice spell. Since most sorcs don't have life, this spell works w/o losing life because you can not sacrafice what you don't have
Typically if you cannot sacrifice, you cannot use the skill. What's happening here seems to be that the number is rounded down. So 15% of 1 becomes 0.
Is there a passive tree somewhere for this build?
there are 4 different build guide videos with attached mobalytics pages on my playlist. they all have different budgets so its like a progression to help u along no matter how much money u have.

Why does my skeleton cleric cost 21 spirit ? :o
EDIT: Okay min level 17 skill gem
its last only couple sec , so is not like is stayn with ya all the time btw
grim feast or the DPS buff? grim feast ES lasts until you get hit.
@anime.princess mean that dps buff .

"What about teching in Grim Feast from the Witch tree for doubling your Energy Shield for just 30 spirit cost?"

Hey AP why are you called Anime Princess?? Please bro it's killing me TELL US
Sacrificing 15% of 1 life should leave you with 0.85 life yeah? 🤷🏼still more than 0 life
Can you share your filter please ?
its pinned in my discord under the stormweaver channel
where is build ?
several of different investment levels for this character in this playlist:

Shock Siphon?
Get what you are saying, but that option doesn't give overflow mechanic which is the point of this spirit tech
All the gems on spark are HUGE dps boost. Giving up on them just not worth it.
@kureysalp you are not giving all up just one and because one of the gems is always utility gem or single target gem like duration/mobility gem you can swap these out for mapping as its actualy not giving you any tooltip dps anyway and trading it for es leech which also allows you to do burning ground maps or maps with less recovery is a must if you ever wanna hit level 100.

For bossing you would prob swap the gem back for duration one but thats same for grimfeast as its useless for boss encounters aswell (for example arbiter)
i have suggested Shock Siphon support in past videos. I do love this support.
I have 140k dps
Seems like a really boring way to play. Just watching sparks fly across the entire map and not having to do anything else.
for me this is exactly what makes it fun! i do not want to waste my energy trying to aim my spell, i just want to watch things die as mouse over my loot :D
No idea why youre running this when you could have 400k tooltip and defense isnt needed.
Бля, мой билд
I am level 70 and my mage does nothing I need help
trade link?
