Solo Soulthirst Spark Trickster Gameplay [3.19 PoE]

[@bradbroussard1156]

Cant wait to see updates on this build! Deffinately sub worthy

[@thejobless1]

Can't wait to see overview of build! Some kind of a POB and build overview will be sick! Love your builds and knowledge man!!

[@x3i4n]

this dude is a gamer

[@ItSaHeAdEr]

wow, this build looks cool!

[@havoc616]

thanks gamer

[@RazvanSedekiah]

Neat! I'm gong to do this for my league start! Thank you for making and sharning!

[@havoc616]

Nice, tell me how it goes

[@RazvanSedekiah]

@@havoc616 I'm level 64 so far and it is fun! I have the spider spark skin so I've been enjoying that too. So far, so good. Looking forward to trying out soul thirst part of it later. Best Wishes!

[@RazvanSedekiah]

@@havoc616 I just tried running the low life corrupted blood stuff and its too soon for me to use that (I kept dying). I'm now comfortably running herald of thunder and ice though with clarity and ice armor. I think I'm 66 now. not dying now. I'm not very good at this game, but I think someone with more skill could manage the low life early on maybe. But very comfortable where I'm at right now. Got Soul thirst, singularity, ward necklace and heat shiver. Only running 4 sockets for spark, but it's enough for me to move along at a comfortable pace. I recommend this build to anyone except maybe not to people new to the game (unless they have a natural skill for this sort of thing). We will see how I do in maps. I don't have soul thirst set up to run for very long yet, but it's nice to have the triple resistances and other things on it. I see it working now and then since I constantly hit my flasks in a bid to live or just run faster, lol. Thanks again for sharing, this is fun so far and I really liked the Lighting Arrow build you made at one point, it was very successful for me. (sorry for all the typos I need to run off to some errands)

[@RazvanSedekiah]

@@havoc616 Now I'm about 72. I specked out of the lightning damage nodes at the top of the tree and into spell suppression and evasion. I'm running grace now and the effects are pretty awesome. Still not running the low life just yet. Still only 4 sockets for spark. But in the first tier of maps now and doing well enough. Although Map Kitava was hard because on of his flying buddies had big shock and lighting resistances and that arena is "Path of I can't see anything". But won, yay. One big challenge was trying to figure out what points to spend first as I leveled. I used your group spark video to try and get a feel for it and think that worked out pretty well. TY GL HF!

[@SuperCatacata]

@@RazvanSedekiah Sucks that you chose the worst league within the last year to start a soulthirst build. Sure it still works, but no survival instincts is a huge loss of QoL on flask time for no good reason. TY GGG.

[@ensyra5651]

I am willing to bet this man is a Prominent Streamer ™

[@cyteriz95]

A league start guide would be awesome

[@ugurhepbiler9354]

I am hyped

[@ILikeGuns1992]

You will be making proper guide / overview of the build in 3.20 ,right? Can't wait!

[@havoc616]

I will do a lot of play testing (ssf and party) before I make a proper guide. Would've liked to do it before launch but I do not want to release any videos without extensive testing.

[@tiagooliveira-dg2ed]

can you do changes in pob for 3.21 changes on tree and other stuff :)

[@tiagooliveira-dg2ed]

really wanna try it out on 3.21

[@kamilmieniek7794]

How much shorter will be flask duration without survival instinct jewel

[@Koroar]

bout tree fiddy

[@gehirndoper]

I was thinking about a build like this, but without a good way to self-curse with temp chains I figure it's not comfortable enough.

[@havoc616]

If you can 1 flask every map its great, but I find 2 flask per map playstyle ok in giga juice content

[@siddharthsingh2216]

what would be the suitable pantheon for this, I just started this today. Excited to try it out.

[@stephenbui490]

i can't clear it as well. The main problem is to face 2 big guys in Delirum,

[@hisnameisarthurmorgan534]

Hey @havoc616 I am a big fan, sorry for the off-topic comment but I am wondering though: is LA dead? I played it in 3.19 and it seems like it has lost its identity in the new meta of the game. The old mapping strat of blasting beyond etc just isn't a thing anymore (at least in terms of profit), and in 3.19 we had to hunt rares on weakened MF builds -- meaning without HH (after inspired learning nerfs) we are either zDPS or get 1 shot by anything. It feels like the investment is too high just to get it on par with other build and then at that point you might as well be running tornado shot. Hoping 3.20 is different so I can switch into an LA build though after a bit of a safer league starter and thanks as always for all the content and info

[@havoc616]

i did a bunch of testing this past week and I currently feel LA is an ok progression skill until you play something else late game (KB, CoC, etc.)

[@kidzesty6303]

I had to check if my playback speed was on 1.25 lol

[@ryanforgo3500]

I am a completely diffetent build "melee even" but damn if i had thought about soulthirst earlier i'd have integrated it into my build.

[@havoc616]

very easy to equip, you still can.

[@solitariorap]

any changes or notes on 3 20 ? what you changed or what to need to be changed :)

[@bradbroussard1156]

What are your thoughts on subbing in a HH for Soulthirst?

[@havoc616]

Headhunter > Soulthirst for sure in map blasting scenarios.

[@YanKuch]

I league started this build in 3.18 on occultist with EO scepter and pierce support but that was before heatshiver's and trickster's change. Would you say that 4 pierce is enough?

[@havoc616]

You can get away with 4 pierce but in some really high packsize content you really want as much pierce as you can get (8-11+ felt good)

[@lolleonlolable]

how do u not randomly die to big hits sometimes ?

[@havoc616]

Just Don't Get Hit (serious)

[@flamebeard10339]

shame that lightning warp has anti synergy with spark. Would be fun to blink around super fast

[@havoc616]

I've been theorying some non-duration node spark builds but haven't had enough time to test them. I think their is a possibility for a lightning warp angle.

[@Ankstoy]

This build is absolute dumpster tier for bossing if the soulthirst charges wear off, also mana is def a huge issue. I've found some decent mana reduce skill / flask duration jewels which definitely helps while running a high level clarity though. Any tips on bossing besides, 'don't let your soulthirst charges fall off'? Seems even with a high amount, due to the lack of ele pen (which you previously mentioned in the video), it's absolute painchamp.

[@relpis9304]

yes

[@DuyNguyen-vz7yr]

hello , your build can farm expdition or logbook ? .. sorry my english is not good , thank your videos !!

[@havoc616]

I haven't really tested expedition so I cannot say 100% for sure -- but spark has been a strong meta skill for many leagues; most likely it will work.

[@ProWarior]

was this with grand design?

[@T0nnYo2]

Is this without survival instinct?

[@havoc616]

This is with all the good 3.19 jewels -- i will include some 3.20 simulation testing footage in the leaguestarter video

[@DamienBaka]

Are you gonna use this to speed run to 100? Solo or group?

[@havoc616]

Both

[@felixkostrov9694]

Is trickster still better than inq without dedicated cursebot?

[@havoc616]

in theory, inquisitor is better against high resist targets & when life regen is of utmost importance (boss fights) -- but my goal is map blasting and I will mess around with dual curse myself

[@Recklessbanana]

Are you all speed runners barry Allen's irl slow down I can't catch what you are saying painchamp

[@havoc616]

im either too slow or too fast xdd -- i'll try to add subtitles in the future

[@franciscocolon2277]

How is this build vs bosses/endgame bosses

[@havoc616]

this build is setup for map blasting, NOT bosses. However, any boss arena that has a lot of walls to bounce off + resist reduction + solved mana issues = should be fine.

[@igcmember5504]

rip spark in 3.21...
