SPARK LEVELING GUIDE + BUDGET UNIQUES | PoE 2

will be blasting for the rest of the day live on www.twitch.tv/animeprincess mobalytics page: mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/c9a1d6a8-38f1-4e09-847a-b53ba3bec16b/builds/d20bc904-e1fd-417f-bd04-35b6cef52041

[@MrT0R0NAGA]

I tried about eight builds to get started, and I liked this one the most. It's simple, straightforward, it has damage and there are no expensive items on the energy shield. As long as you don't have an Oaksworn shield, you can take a 130 spirit stick and summon the very first Skeleton Warriors, they will walk ahead of you, tank and take damage. It's comfortable and not difficult.

[@knightofnaught]

I'm confused, where are you applying exposure in this? Why take Scouring Winds without some way of applying exposure?

[@thayalol]

So I'm playing this setup, level 50 atm, and I suggest adding in a Blasphemy + Conductivity to this setup when your Spirit allows it. Damage in the 40-50s felt a bit lacking until I added this.

[@ryanhoulder8516]

Ty dor build dude. I used some rando frost build off google and it was so bad i was struggling on act 3, switched to this build and instantly melt absolutely everything 😂 tyvm

[@eldenking2098]

Act 3 sucked for me, couldnt melt anything with this build, I followed it to a T.. lv 65 and cant one shot white mobs in a 58 zone, something isnt adding up.

[@audiocattt]

I have to say I had a pretty functional Spark+Archmage+MoM+EB build without any uniques. I just ran the Arcane Surge ascendancy line for Stormweaver. Nodes that buff Arcane Surge, mana regen %, and max mana/mana regen% on rare gear. It wasn’t perfect, but it was quite manageable honestly.

[@geezbro]

brother you are the pohx of spark, thank you. question: in your 3rd ascendancy run vid, youd took scouring winds, but you have that node as 2nd in your leveling guide. does it matter much when you take it?

[@anime.princess]

the only thing that really matters is arcane surge level 1. i may edit the mobalytics to be more in line with what i did with regards to ascendancy order thanks

[@ogbangerz3029]

the levels for ur search are wrong i believe, Put ur current level in the “Requirements” area not the “item level” area

[@ennian93]

what aura should we use before archmage? We have so much spirit but seems not have any good aura to use

[@audiocattt]

@@ennian93 personally I used either ice armour for some extra bit of utility, but mana remnants is really great QoL for maintaining mana regen if you use Tempest a lot

[@baisansebastian3358]

Any chance you can give some advice on this build but for Chrono?

[@monkeibusiness]

I can recommend the unique Hexer Robe. Makes you basically unkillable as long as you have mana.

[@guillaumeberger6206]

when do you switch to the endgame build ? after the campangne or at some lvl ? ( third character here)

[@XIIOSRS]

Hey AP what do you think of ghostewrithe as the body instead? Or as well the amulet

[@lafil9624]

Hi, Wich Venom Draught i should pick ?

[@anime.princess]

mana regen and +5 attribute

[@lafil9624]

@@anime.princess Thank you very much

[@falc410]

Perfect Guide! Just what I was looking for.

[@MrMorrigan1989]

Thank you youtube algorithm I finally found the video I was looking for. :D

[@joeydehart3429]

Why did you choose scouring wind with no exposure support on your lightning skills? It wont naturally cause exposure.

[@anime.princess]

I take lightning exposure on orb of storms when it’s available

[@worldshakerd3889]

is levinstone ring even worth wearing currently?

[@mr.mxyzptlk9756]

Came for a leveling guide but got go buy these items. Wild that the game thats meant to be played to get loot just boils down to going to the trade site to make builds viable.

[@anime.princess]

you don't need the items, these are only suggestions for people who want easy extra power.

[@beg11221978]

Exactly... very wild they would put that in a game. No reason to grind

[@Beatmastapat09]

maybe u should try ssf then u can cry over there

[@iiii882]

I have 5link and +5 lv but i don't have the damage to kill the act 2 monsters

[@Hekk.]

Can't kill act 2 stuff with a 5link AND +5 skill levels? 😅

[@__-bk6mm]

@@Hekk.yeah seems highly unlikely

[@haldossry2332]

Where do u get this unique items ? Do u farm them or it’s luck ?

[@jasonplitt7917]

I think Levinstone might be bugged, at least the tooltip display is. When I equip it, I can see the level of my Lightning spells increase by one in the gem tooltip. But the DPS doesn't go up. I was actually going to buy another and wear two of them, but I'm going to hold off until I find out what's going on.

[@anime.princess]

i think this is bugged atm. hope GGG fixes asap after their holiday lol

[@Acelilath]

Thx thats a video i needed

[@ENSOWA]

How to get damage???? act3 5 link spark level 15 (+5 from items) 1500ehp your tree. I just cant kill molten titan, I have no damage...

[@jenericjoe7565]

spend 1 exalt on better gear, 1500ehp is incredibly low. if you are having mana issues take off archmage until maps give you the funds for it

[@Hekk.]

Did you turn archmage on?

[@StephenLeaney]

Issue is that when you block you cannot cast. How do you avoid this?

[@perooo8526]

I was really struggling with leveling. The dps was just assss. I also had all the necessary uniques and my gear was decent throughout. For everyone who is also struggling, the build really poped of for me once I got 100 spirit for Arcmage and my 5,6th points in act 6, elemental storm was a gamechanger for bosses.

[@audiocattt]

@@perooo8526 yeah the entire build is based around Archmage. Every single other stat/node etc is used to amplify Archmage while maintaining survivability

[@faiz697]

@@audiocattt what about before archmage...there is like 15-20hr worth of content before that. How did you suffer that ?

[@olegstarik8387]

tyvm, just start leveling this build and stuck in 3 act, damage of arc is suck on bosses atm, need to figure out what to improve

[@fluumski]

same. i switched from arc to spark once i got to queen of filth

[@arochi3985]

I'm currently on tier 13 maps on a frost build and wanting to respec to spark build can I do it with just 2 divines?

[@halffrozen]

Thank you for the video! Sub’d.

[@thegoodrevbadandyarr4272]

There seems to be a gap between the levelling guide and the endgame guide. I dont know exactly what I need to transition my tree and gems to a more endgame version. Just the helm? Also the amulet? Im sort of in a bit of limbo bc I made my tree like the endgame version, and I can afford the helm now, but Im not sure if that is enough to click EB, as with archmage and more mana regen than the levelling version takes, I am definitely struggling to sustain mana at the moment, and drinking at least one potion if there is a good number of normal mobs, and more than that if there is a unique.

[@audiocattt]

@@thegoodrevbadandyarr4272 you literally just need Archmage. Which is late game. This is an awful leveling guide because Archmage is what this entire build is based on.

[@thegoodrevbadandyarr4272]

@@audiocattt I have that, thing is the levelling tree and the endgame tree look very different, and idk what gear you need to transition from one to the other, bc the EG tree seems to take a bunch less regen nodes, and with archmage keeping mana up is already a bit of a struggle, so I dont know what I need to make using EB viable/safe/etc. Im already squishy AF in T3s, so Im not sure how I survive w/o ES, unless the helm (the ES one, not goldrim) just solves that (which Im not 100% clear on).

[@anime.princess]

even in poe 1 you don't use archmage support during the campaign. the leveling guide doesn't focus on archmage because you don't equip it while leveling campaign lol

[@geneshaw1234]

Any suggestions on what buff is best for our spirit?

[@jenericjoe7565]

watch the video...100 spirit for archmage if you haven't completed the campaign settle for something else like mana remnants or grim feast it doesnt really matter as long as you can run the supporting clarity for it

[@geezbro]

swapped over to EB with Ghostwrithe and Atziri's but I'm getting perma stunned in maps :( any advice?

[@anime.princess]

there are stun nodes on the endgame tree, you can also get a stun charm if you arent able to grab the tree nodes yet

[@Vanquist]

how many mana u suggest to try started building this ?

[@anime.princess]

maybe ~3kish, which can easily be done be scaling ES on the body armor and using EB

[@Vanquist]

@@anime.princess ty!

[@Amonkira1029]

So gain damage as extra is better than increased lightning damage?

[@anime.princess]

gain has max roll of 30% and inc lightning has max roll over 100% so you have to take this into account with the weightings.

[@darkraider1130]

Anyone know which Act 3 & 6 Venom Draught choices to take? I'd think grants 25% mana regen, but maybe the other 2 defensives is overall better for this build.

[@Eric1Eye]

Good Video Bro

[@rev-d5e]

tried buying the gloves and shield last night, they were on the site for around 1-2 Ex orbs...sent request but no response from all ALL of them...Weird.

also is this guide still good to level with?

[@thomasleitner6380]

on poe trade there is no sum for me. Why is that?

[@Buster-tr4lp]

so whats the reason behind taking storm charged(40% more elemental damage if crit recently and more cc) if were taking controlled destruction which makes it so spark cant crit?

[@RavesMadly]

I came here to try to find the answer to this as well. I see it used in other builds that take that cluster, and I don't understand.

[@christiansiebelds4166]

your orb of storm still crits and procs this

[@FourFingeredMan]

He also switches that gem out in one of the other 2 videos he made on spark..so it Will become even more useful later

[@nightshadow76]

why take stormcharged if spark cant crit?

[@anime.princess]

i dont keep controlled destruction on forever. but youre right if you still have that gem link on theres no point to taking it. the base 9% crit without controlled destruction is enough to proc it tho.

[@James-m3x1b]

Can someone explain how to do the 6 link he mentioned (or even 5)?

1 Divine for Goldrim 1 Divine for Levinstone How it is suppose to leveling?

[@PhilipMetcalfe]

those are just uniques if you are levelling a second character, you can use rares to cap resists...

[@anime.princess]

Filter by exalt orbs when searching

[@3ASY355]

yeah these uniques are not 1div blood. your trade filters are out of whack. u can get these 2 Uniques for 1ex each xD. In fact I did purchases these two for 1ex following this build guide as of today 12/22/2024.

[@weedalism]

5 divines and a shield that disables all the damage because you cannot wield a staff seems pretty good to start a new character... lol

So can anyone help me fix the spell click issue, even with wasd it doesn't function proepr, but I hate wasd. Yet the game seems shit with mouse ckick,why? Why don't smells cast where I click

[@RichardVargo]

You can edit your skill to only cast with you standing still. This should fix the issues you’re having I hope

[@ulrichhartel6805]

Well if the game don't implement the item trade then i won't go on a web site. Second, i see this build everywhere and i refuse to play this strategy. I made my own tree with 7 gem sockets and shock/magnitude augment. With a lot of shield renforcement. If there is only one good way to build spark then the game is simply bad, and i dont think so

[@whatchuyappinabout]

Why would you click a build guide to say you're not following build guides..? Weird. Smh.

[@ulrichhartel6805]

@whatchuyappinabout because i want to see what people do, if i miss something. But right now i change my character, all content creator doing the same build with the same nodes, the same unique item. And i'm sooo pissed off, i hate when there is only one way.

[@whatchuyappinabout]

@@ulrichhartel6805 There's only one way to have the BEST version of a build, since there can only be one BEST build out of every archetype, but if you stop comparing yourself to others there's hundreds of builds! Comparison is the thief of joy... Stop pissing yourself off by comparing builds and have fun!

[@ulrichhartel6805]

@whatchuyappinabout don't worry, i play deadeye poison now. Waiting for armor balance and some one shot issues. I like to play sorceress but not spark. I enjoy warp/shock a lot but dashing into mob packs is a dead end and i can't clear maps.
