Ever since i first started playing PoE back in nemesis I've always wanted to play a good spark totem build. Unfortunately spark was really bad back then so there was really no point.



However back in Tempest with the buffs spark had been getting i thought it was worth giving it a shot and it worked really well.



Now in Talisman spark has received another buff which makes it really strong.



THIS BUILD IS HC VIABLE IF YOU PLAY SMART



This is my first ever build guide so let me know if something is missing.

You don't need power charges unless you map at the absolute highest level as the crit just isn't needed. Without power charges I have over 50% crit chance.



As for leveling i'd say go selfcast spark/stormcall/lightning tendrils until you can pick up ancestral bond and go dual spark totem.



Bandits

Spoiler Oak/Alira/Skillpoint Unless you want to do extremely hard maps in which case i would get the power charge.



Gear

Spoiler Helmet - Life and resists and some ES

Chest - Life and resists and some ES. Links are always good

Belt Just life and resists

Boots - Life, Resists and movespeed.

Gloves - Rares with life and resists or BiS Maligaro's

Wand/dagger - Spell dmg, added dmg, cast speed, spell crit chance, crit multi, proj speed. Anything is good here really

Shield - Life/some ES and Spell dmg/spell crit

Neck - Crit chance/multi and life

Rings - Life and resists, can get romira's banquet and run incinerate for power charges.



My Gear

Spoiler



My gear was all obtained in Tempest before i ripped to Standard so this gear is very possible to get in a temp HC League



Links

Spoiler 6L - Spark - Spell Totem - Lightning Pen - Pierce - Faster casting (optional) - Faster Proj (optional) - Inc. Duration (optional)



Then just fill out the rest of your gem slots with: Assmark, Wrath, Herald of ice, Herald of Thunder, Vaal haste, Flame dash and Ice golem (optional)



Jewels

Spoiler For jewels i would recommend the unique jewel that gives pierce chance.

Other then that get crit/crit multi, life and spell dmg/cast speed
