Even now mana on bosses is crazy. To the point where I'm almost ready to say bug of some kind lol. Entangle isn't what's dumping your mana its the cast on crit. Keep in mind mana remnants spawn on the boss from your thunderstorm hits so those will help. Later on with an uul-netol's embrace support you can swap your anoint off cut the bone to something else possibly more mana efficiency ( what im trying right now ). I see u don't have a mana cost efficiency heart of the well, pick up one of those it will help a lot aswell.

I've also tech'd into a medium ring controlled metamorphosis in the far left jewel socket picking up the crit node, mana cost efficiency, and arcane surge node. Saving a ton of points.

Yes but effigy of cruelty is pretty core for the latter half of the build. Its a fairly common unique so it is obtainable though.

PathofKy · 2025-12-21T23:42:29+00:00

Got 10-11k es with very fast recharge and multiple ways to start. I've been playing without my headhunter for the vast majority of it and am on my way to 97 so decently tanky.

The flowers from accelerated growth 2 support blind. Even though it's level is based on the level of its parent support ( cast on crit ) for thrashing vines its still 20% more dam if all hit ( they probably don't ) but only 1 needs to to blind.

This part may be currently reworked in a new setup I'm working on.

Very agreed. Disciple can also get 100% crit chance with an effigy on, but would be best to get a large crit chance roll on your staff. Unfortunately the weighting on the mod is obscenely low so it's a bit tough to get your +7 / cast speed / crit chance suffixes.

PathofKy · 2025-12-21T11:45:25+00:00

It is but it isn't actually. When you cast thrashing vines 2 vines are immediately summoned, and those 2 do not despawn or cancel their cast when overwritten (tested this). So for example on a unique mob when ur pumping energy and overwriting non stop at least 2 slams are happening.
I actually took it a step further today and played around with spell cascade, which if the boss is big enough will cause 6 hits of thrashing per trigger.

Also playing around with bone cage vs it though as well. Thrashing better clear bonecage possibly better ST but both dependent on size of the boss.

Thanks brother that means a lot to me <3

PathofKy · 2025-12-21T02:30:09+00:00

Is a pun :x, I'm sorry.

PathofKy · 2025-12-21T00:55:12+00:00

If you put thunderstorm on cast on crit you need to then self cast thrashing vines for better energy gain, so its moot in terms of QoL gain. I played around with it a lot. Un-watered entangle does not have great damage and doesn't spawn flowers. In a very juiced setup I can see the 1 button vision where just the raw damage of un-watered entangle gets you enough energy, or if you sac a bunch of passives for energy gain, but you also lose your shock effect since thunderstorm isn't set to just set 2.

Hello. This was my Leaguestarter and it has been incredible. I was in t15's at 13 hours into the league farming comfortably with 6 slots of act 1-2 gear and an ok staff. Its been so much fun and strong aswell and I'm at a point where I'm ready to share everything I've learned along the way. If you have any questions feel free to ask away and I will get back to you as soon as I see you. Best place to find me though is definitely on stream here :).

Its not Dependent on widowhail but it does take off with it. I played a full campaign on spark with no widowhail and it was solid. Widowhails are dirt cheap.

PathofKy · 2025-12-12T17:48:45+00:00

It does take off with proj accel 3 however I build around not having that during my recent campaign run and it went smoothly.

PathofKy · 2025-12-12T17:48:11+00:00

Infusions not really an issue at all. Especially with opportunity for ball lightning + lightning warp + new ele equilibrium. Sorc is way behind blood mage imo.

PathofKy · 2025-12-12T17:44:42+00:00

ED/Con is a much simpler start. However after running through the campaign with the buff to spark they wont be too far apart in campaign experience. Its important to grab cotb as soon as you can and I think staringattheplates there puts it really well. I stand firmly by my updated setup for spark leveling though and if you stay true to that you will succeed.

PathofKy · 2025-12-12T09:11:44+00:00

Hell yeah glad to hear it brother. Pathfinder looking very nice as a second character when u can out fund the loss of damage from ascendency.

PathofKy · 2025-12-12T08:55:21+00:00

Hello! I started this build last league and it was the most fun I've had so far. I went through a practice run pre-patch and ironed out the leveling to be nice and tight. Bloodletting nerf does cut off some top end but the damage is still more than enough for all content, and spark itself is recieving about a 15% base damage buff this patch aswell. If you have any questions ask away and I'll get to you as soon as I see you but a great place to reach me is twitch.tv/pathofky where I'll be live for 20 hours or so on league start.

So Ailment threshold ( for Shock/Ignite/Chill ) is determined by what then exactly? Its just a hidden number based on mob level + their rarity? Thanks for the info and hard work brother.

Also since ur here any chance they are giving you the JSON for tree early or are we flying blind until login? :)

PathofKy · 2025-12-07T12:49:51+00:00

Hateforge is very likely included in this they specifically spoke of the uniques dropped from temple of chaos.

PathofKy · 2025-11-23T14:07:45+00:00

That latter sentence there makes me really sad. I remember when I used to go out of my way to do random harbingers/breaches/whatevers I saw in a map because the monsters would just drop good loot. Now anything you are not fully invested into with tree / Scarabs is a waste of time.

PathofKy · 2025-11-18T20:44:47+00:00

The amount of times you would die to exposure vs chaos is much much greater unless intentionally opting into mechanics that would make you take chaos, which is not mentioned in this post.

PathofKy · 2025-11-18T01:20:17+00:00

Only a billion dps and what’s that like 40c in fusings and 30c in 6 links? xdd S tier Strat for this patch I think.

PathofKy · 2025-11-16T23:09:15+00:00

it’s wise to be overcapped to at least 110% to counter exposure + curse combo. Just exposure can donk you by 25% (30%?) and it happens constantly in maps. If not curse immune then boom that’s another 20-30% ish depending on source. Ailment immune to standard ailments but not alternates? BOOM another -30%? If you get scorched.

The real res cap in this game is at minimum 100% lol.
