Use the support that reduces mana cost. Also if you are going spark you should also be stacking mana for Archmage which means you should have lots of mana regen as well.
I'm already doing this and it is not enough. All my gear has T10+ mana rolls, except the uniques, of course, maybe I need to fish the wand with high-rolled mana regen or just make by with the current setup.

Can you grab some of the better mana regen nodes on the tree?

just get 1 or 2 jewels that give 2% mana on kill

something like this would be ideal but not too many of these around (self found + made got quite lucky). just 2% mana + some adds should be cheap

then eventually you want one of these (costs about 20 div though, I found mine in delirium pinnacle)

my spark setup is pierce+acceleration+inspiration+persistence+arcane tempo without -cost% its quite a struggle (fine for mapping but annoying for pinnacle)


edit piece of shit game

Where does one even find rare and unique jewels outside of trade league? I think I remember one dropping at the end of a Sekhema run, is that the only place to find them?

It might be cheap in trade, but gems don't drop that often in ssf. But I'll try it, thanks.
if u have orb of annulments its not a bad idea to spam some of those into sapphires (ideally magic) until u hit one, probably don't have many other good options to use those for

campaign think I found 1 or 2 jewels, but now in juiced maps I get around 1-2 each map
so.. maps

unique ones there are quite a few that drop from pinnacle bosses

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Anyone interested in this? 65 Divines is fair market price.

I finally finished 3rd Sekhema Trial with any of my characters with the crossbow guy. There is huge difference in the game between characters that kill enemies almost instantly and those that cannot.. 3rd boss also died in 5s or so (I did the lvl 61 version but in the past I did lvl 65 with BoneStorm character and failed gloriously multiple times).
Balance is completely out of whack. Both characters had 1 div weapon/wand when doing it and around same level (lvl 75+), and bonestorm crit character had to use more debuffs and shit and still did less damage. He even had problems killing rares on 3rd floor... and both runs used same relics.
Well I think I also got a bit more lucky with afflictions and boons in this run but still it should not be this big of a difference.

And it is not like this Crossbow guy is using some special secret tech or busted buggy stuff or abusing some uniques.. this is pretty straight up character that even spends way too many point into just stats to get from Merc all the way to Monk starting area.
Only real modification I did to the video I posted earlier is I am using Stormcaller Arrow in 2nd slot (bought a 5ex bow with reduced attributes mod so it does not aske me for 200+ dex) and got rid of Plasma Blast as it is way too slow of a way to apply guaranteed Shock.

All spark skills, are there multiple ones?
How did you even find these items exist? Are you spending hours on poe2db looking at all the uniques :D
There is no poeninja for poe2 to check out gear of top ranked players.

I played first 1.5~ weeks blind, after that i checked wiki and shit for unique items. since most of em are shit it was relatively easy to find some potentially worthwhile ones

1737563228922.png


gem 20+1 (corruption) first 3 gems I slammed all got +1 in a row
weapon +5 lightning
amulet +3 projectile
jewel +3 spark

I copied temporalis + mahuxotl shield magic find tech from other people, rest I figured out myself. its pretty obvious how to build spark gear wise
passive skills tree was not too bad either since you can search keywords

and yeah poe2db is my go-to site now for most of stuff like uniques, crafting affixes and so on

I randomly read on reddit that people are paying good bucks for ritual tablets.. sold 3 for 80 ex.. apparently they only drop from rituals so that is why.

I suspect this is just an artifact of the general wording for +x to skill stuff. +1 to all phys, +1 to all chaos, +1 to all melee, etc.
It's just how it is worded on items like replica dragonfang from poe1 (because there are varieties of the same skill gem i.e. ice nova of freeze and ice nova of frostbolts)
