Spark Sorceress FAQs

Build Notes

Is Spark Still Viable?

Spark builds are still one of the more reliable builds in the game even after the nerfs from the 0.2.0 patch. Despite the damage nerfs, its DPS and mob clear remains reliable and the scalability is still high.

Weapons

During Act 1 to 3, it is 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.

List of Weapons

Armor

It is recommended to prioritize Increased Rarity of Items Found on equipment to increase the chances of looting better items while you are progressing through the Campaign. 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.

List of Armors

Accessories

Lazuli Ring, Pearl Ring, and Lunar Amulet increase mana, cast speed, and energy shield respectively. For its modifiers, it is still recommended to prioritize 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

Runes and Soul Cores

Equipment Sockets
Focus and Armor

Equip Iron, Mind, or Inspiration Rune to increase your character's Energy Shield, Mana, or Mana Regeneration respectively as all three are important in the Spark Sorceress's survivability.

It is recommended to 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 2 and Act 3, 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 3.

Considered Casting adds more raw damage to Spark. The cast speed reduction will be negated by Arcane Tempo. Orb of Storms is slotted with Font of Mana to further sustain mana while your character is near it. Mana Tempest amplifies Spark's damage while Lightning Warp is utilized to cull enemies and teleport around to avoid being trapped. Arctic Armour boosts defenses a bit once you get an extra amount of Spirit.

Bossing
Mana Tempest Icon Conductivity Icon Orb of Storms Icon Flame Wall Icon Spark Icon

Mobbing

Spark will be your main skill to use in clearing mobs. Enhance its damage by combining it with other Elemental skills such as Mana Tempest 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. Deploy a Mana Tempest zone.
  2. Use Conductivity to debuff enemies.
  3. Deploy an Orb of Storms to deal damage and sustain your mana.
  4. Use Flame Wall as often as possible to enchance Spark's damage output.
  5. Spam Spark.
  6. 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.
