This Spark Stormweaver build is the enhanced version of the Spark Sorceress leveling that continues using Spark as its main damage tool. Flame Wall remains to support Spark along with huge damage upgrade with Archmage.

Even after getting hit by huge nerfs from patch 0.2.0, Spark and the synergy with its accompanying skills are still among the best builds to clear maps and melt bosses in the game.

Weapons

It is still recommended to equip a Wand and a Focus instead of a Staff to maximize modifiers on both weapons. Prioritize getting damage, level, and cast speed modifiers to boost Spark's damage output. Keep an eye out for higher level wands and focus.

List of Weapons

Armor

It is still recommended to prioritize Increased Rarity of Items Found on equipment to increase the chances of looting better items. Movement Speed is also highly important as this builds mobility is low and it would also speed up map exploration.

Elemental Resistances and Energy Shield modifiers are needed to build up survivability as Energy Shield will continuously be translated as Mana, effectively giving survivability with the Mind over Matter and Eldritch Battery passive nodes activated.

List of Armors

Accessories

Since Archmage will drain a lot of mana, Lazuli Ring and Azure Amulet are important to sustain it.

Prioritize getting any mana and Energy Shield modifiers along with Increased Rarity of Items Found to increase the chance of better loot to prepare for the endgame. Increasing damage and mana modifiers also improve Spark's offensive output.

List of Accessories

Socketables

Emerald Jewel Emerald ・Increased Projectile Damage
・Increased Elemental Damage
・Increased Projectile Speed

It is recommended to equip Emeralds as it can enhance the damage and speed of Spark projectiles, which is the main skill used in this build.

List of Jewels

Runes and Soul Cores

Equipment Sockets
Weapon
Armor

It is recommended to equip the Soul Core of Zalatl for both Weapons and Armor rune slots because the Spark Stormweaver build's mana is important to manage to maximize damage.

Soul Core of Xopec is a good alternative for Weapons as it increases Shock. For Armor, Iron Runes are also recommended to increase Energy Shield.

Since Cruel Mode is a more difficult version of Acts 1 to 3, the Charms pretty much stay the same. Equip a Thawing Charm and Sapphire Charm when facing Count Geonor since it negates Freezing and offers Cold Resistance from his Chill attacks.

In Act 5 and Act 6, replace Thawing Charm with a Grounding Charm as it helps negate both Jamanra, the Abomination and Doryani's Shock from their attacks. Keep Sapphire Charm as it still helps against Chill attacks from Doryani in Act 6.

Spark Stormweaver Skills

※ The Support Gems' priority are arranged in a descending order. The first one being the most important and the last being the least crucial.

Skill Support Gems
Spark IconSpark
Flame Wall IconFlame Wall
Orb of Storms IconOrb of Storms
Conductivity IconConductivity
Lightning Warp IconLightning Warp
Archmage IconArchmage

Use Jeweller's Orbs or a Vaal Orb to increase Support Gem slots of Skills equipped. Note that Vaal Orbs corrupt Skill gems for a random chance to increase the slot.

We remove Mana Tempest and other buffs from the leveling build for the addition of Archmage as it greatly increases the damage output of Spark at the risk of a higher mana cost.

Flame Wall allows Spark to be imbued with fire, making the projectiles stronger. Orb of Storms becomes a mana regeneration totem with Font of Mana while Conductivity reduces enemy's elemental resistance. Lightning Warp is used to teleport around and cull mobs to avoid being trapped.

Spark Stormweaver Passive Tree

Passive Tree Progression

Ascendancy Tree
Ascendancy Group Node
Passive Nodes
1. Raw Power, Path of Storms, and Exploit the Elements 2. Potent Incantation, Lightning Quick, and Branching Bolts
3. Power Conduction, Electric Amplification, Pure Power, Ingenuity, and Turn the Clock Forward 4. Changing Offensive Nodes to Mana and Energy Shield Nodes
5. Getting Mind Over Matter 6. Getting Eldritch Battery and Other Mana Nodes

Full Sample Tree

Once Ascendancy has been achieved, focus on unlocking the Constant Gale and Force of Wind to gain Arcane Surge. Arcane Surge gives the Stormweaver a buff that increases Cast Speed and Mana Regenaration, which helps improve Spark.

After following the Spark Sorceress leveling build and progressing towards the later stages of the game, it is recommended to refund the early damage passive nodes from the leveling build to switch over mana and Energy Shield nodes as a priority. The damage that Spark does at this point will be great enough that the build will need all the survivability.

Activating the passive skill nodes Mind over Matter and Eldritch Battery essentially makes this build a tanky with enough mana, since damage is applied to mana and energy shield before it goes through HP.

Spark Stormweaver Playstyle

Skill Rotations

※ Press on what type you are fighting for a more detailed explanation on the playstyle and skill rotation.

Type Skill Rotation
Mobbing
Conductivity Icon Orb of Storms Icon Flame Wall Icon Spark Icon Lightning Warp Icon
Bossing
Conductivity Icon Orb of Storms Icon Flame Wall Icon Spark Icon

Mobbing

The playstyle in this build will remain the same as in the leveling build. Remember to activate Archmage and use Spark your main damage skill.

Enhance its damage by combining it Orb of Storms, Conductivity and Flame Wall. Lightning Warp will mostly be used as a way to cull enemies and avoid being surrounded. The rotation is as follows:

  1. Use Conductivity to debuff enemies.
  2. Deploy an Orb of Storms to deal damage and sustain your mana.
  3. Use Flame Wall as often as possible to enchance Spark's damage output.
  4. Spam Spark.
  5. Use Lightning Warp to teleport around and instantly kill enemies once they are below HP threshold.

Bossing

The skill rotation is simply the same with mobbing minus the usage of Lightning Warp since you are mostly targeting the Boss.

  1. Deploy a Mana Tempest zone.
  2. Use Conductivity to debuff enemies.
  3. Use Orb of Storms for bosses to increase Shock buildup and deal constant damage. Stay near it to sustain mana.
  4. Use Flame Wall as often as possible to enchance Spark's damage output.
  5. Spam Spark.
