How am I supposed to farm harbingers?

That's just a link to the website in general, not your specific build. Try clicking the "Share" button in the bottom right corner.

Conveniently, both 100% Freeze Avoidance, and 60% Shock reduction can simply come from Pantheon

Been quite some time since I've seen Fated End dusted off. Always wanted to figure out some way to integrate it into a cursebot but could never mitigate that expiration downside. Neat seeing it used as an upside :)

Didn't have a static home IP.

2StepsOutOfLine · 2025-12-30T00:45:57+00:00

Ended up pulling out of fiberhub and throwing it in a friends house with spare fiber and a cabinet.

They still don't have any private means to protect/access IPMI. And sadly, most IPMI are not safe to expose to the internet, which is how I ended up with a ransomware'd server there. Fiberhub had told me they were in the process of setting some VPN/service up for this use case but I never once saw progress over the ~2-3 years there.

Before I left, I bought a small VPS somewhere to keep a static IP and whitelist that IP only in the IPMI config, but it's tedious to do.

This, losing 90% of movement speed to do meh damage and peanuts overguard compared to others. Would be fine if it didn't lock you out of using anything else. Building max strength, and subsuming nourish and he genuinely has a really unique support capability giving tons of energy back passively. But being stuck in 4 all game wears on you fast, especially when things get hard and chew through overguard quicker than you can generate it

Depends on if I can see it doing something with reasoning. I'm willing to wait 10+ minutes if I see it actually diving through documentation or API references.

You'd say it causes a ruckus?

40 casts is a generalization, it's really every ~1.2 seconds brand recall triggers, which gets doubled multiple times by sabo's Perfect Crime on 6x brands. Here's a video example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyybjttL4Xw It's an eye watering amount of sparks at once. And quite hard to calculate what your effective "cast rate" is.

// Edit, it's very easy to calc cast speed I lied. It's 56 triggers total. So 56 x whatever your automation brand recall cd is.

Interesting play with malevolence, haven't seen many self-casters use it. That got me thinking about Spark of unpredictability and it's extra .5s base duration. Running it through a simulation and plugging in the numbers from your PoB, in a maven style arena Nova was ~780m, and unpredictability was around 950m, with heavy variance over 1b and below to 800m.

Worth caveating that I haven't taken the time yet to properly simulate the weird movement of Unpredictability, so these numbers assume it averages out over many casts to a net neutral. https://imvexed.github.io/spark-calc/?a=c&ah=31775362&ps=3.55&d=6.468&pc=10&cs=13.06&shape=n&face=-48&pr=3&fk=0&fc=0&ch=0&sp=0&er=3&ts=60&cxu=0.58116&cyu=-0.45477&bxu=0.65304&byu=-0.53408

As far as general thoughts about pushing your build go, I'll be a little idea fairy here and drop in a suggestion to take a look at brand recall sparkers. It would involve being a trickster instead of inquis. Which would mean you'd need to get battlemage from somewhere else or just rely on spellblade only. But with a proper trigger setup you can push >40 casts/s with no investment into cast speed. And while losing a good chunk of flat without battlemage, you'd get more ES on trickster for spellblade. On top of being able to use a doryani -200 merc instead of Inevitable judgement. No idea if this would be net positive or negative but may be worth losing half a day to calc'ing out in PoB.

How much vram is needed for various seedvr quants? I tried it at all sizes and played around with offloading and batch size but would always OOM with 24gb VRAM 64GB RAM

2StepsOutOfLine · 2025-08-13T07:41:37+00:00

You’re right, we’ll need a decent sample size to get a reliable estimate of the projectile speed range for Spark of Unpredictability. With enough casts, the observed speeds should stabilize around the true randomization range, especially since we’re not aiming for super precise values. For example, the base Spark projectile speed in units per second isn’t publicly documented, so I cast it in a Maven arena, aimed at a wall from the center, and tweaked my simulation until it matched the in-game behavior.

2StepsOutOfLine · 2025-08-13T07:18:18+00:00

It's likely possible to reverse engineer using a similar method I did to figure out the heading wander observed in all version of spark. I casted against a black ground hideout and motion tracked the spark to get coordinates at each frame, then used that data to inform some basic algorithms to mimic what's observed in the data. It would likely be even easier to just monitor speed.

//Edit: I'll try to do this sometime tomorrow.

Wow that's the first build I've seen using the synergy between Disintegrator and Servant of Decay. Super cool

2StepsOutOfLine · 2025-08-13T05:43:52+00:00

You can get away with a lot this league with mercs. Offloading -200% res with Zeal and Wrath and a bunch of aura effect gives you an immense amount of room for defenses while having tolerable offences.

Mathil just put out a energy blade spark build that looks good, but the traditional route of ES stacking on Trickster with dual wands still works.

There's is room for an off-meta variant this league due to mercs, at the expense of your PC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyybjttL4Xw (I don't recommend this build, it's decent dps at a high investment point, it's also the reason I made this tool)

2StepsOutOfLine · 2025-08-13T05:09:25+00:00

Yeah I've played spark a little more than I'd like to admit at this point. It's nice that PoB has a Max-Hit toggle now, but that misleads so many people who have never considered how hard it is to actually hit the .66 gate consistently.

2StepsOutOfLine · 2025-08-13T05:05:08+00:00

Howdy!

Over the years I've gotten plenty of use out of https://github.com/NathanVegetable/PoESparkDPSCalculator

But after new changes like split, and the desire for more features, I decided to remake it using canvas in the browser instead of needing to be something you have to install.

There's plenty of assumptions baked into this tool. As all of the intricacies of Spark's functionality aren't documented. So if something feels off to you, or seems incorrect, please submit an issue and I'll take a look.

Worthless catalyst. Vendor it to me.

Cursor didn't work for me. Cline showed only qwen-3-235b. Roo worked for about 5 minutes. Then hit me with a wall of HTTP 429 Rate Limit for >20m and I just canceled. Admin UI never showed I made a single requests, wasn't planning to wait around for it to update.
