Build Variants
For Build variants, it starts off with a setup that is current corners to make it cheaper, and the updates will get progressively stronger as well as more expensive. I would refer to the latest update, to get an idea of what my character on stream currently looks like.
This is and endgame extension of
Spark Stormweaver. The following leaguestarter guide is the budget version of this build, that will progress naturally into this
Cast on Critical form later on.

Equipment










JEWELS:
From Nothing I use a
Blackflame Covenant from nothing jewel, in order to efficiently grab alot of powerful passive. We use this to grab
Overexposure,
Stormbreaker,
Empowering Infusions,
Secrets of the Orb without having to directly path to them. I'm not sure if mobalytics is currently coded to show this properly, so I am explaining it here.
Heart of the Well has gain % damage as extra fire damage, because i lack it on my staff. this is important so that the
Elemental Storm functions correctly.
Sapphire there is a video on my stormweaver playlist that explains all the good mods. But basically I am using a weighted sum search to get as much power for my budget as i can. And i value %max energy shield highly on here, as a mandatory mod.
FAQ:
Q: How do I solve mana?
Efficiency II on all skill gems, anoint
Conservative Casting on amulet,
Mana Remnants with
Storm's Recollection for additional remnants and pickup radius, mana regeneration on gear (ie
Flowing Raiment base for free extra regen),
Efficient Casting on tree, 2% Mana on kill on
Sapphire, Clarity II spirit gem if you have extra spirit, mana regen on ring. These are alot of examples and you don't have to do all of them.
Zenith II will also help reduce mana cost and you should put this on all your damage spells if your mana cost gets solved with it. It reduces mana cost, adds 30% more damage, but only if you do not drop below 90% mana.
Q: How do I get enough spirit?
You want 181 total spirit (91 spirit for qualitied
Cast on Critical, and 30 spirit for each of
Mana Remnants,
Siphon Elements, and
Convalescence
100 spirit - Campaign side quests
35-50 spirit - Staff amanamu prefix craft
15 spirit - Solar Amulet implicit
30-50 spirit - Amulet prefix
30-61 spirit - Body armor prefix
20-30 spirit - Helmet corruption
Q: What should I anoint?
Extreme low budget
Heavy Ammunition, but this is not a low budget build, so this is irrelevant imo
If you need to fix mana
Conservative Casting
If you don't need mana
Climate Change
Aspiring Genius lets you remove
Constant Gale for a different ascendancy point. For example
Elemental Storm, which I am using rn
Q: What are the best stats for a Staff?
2 Handed Staff Trade link: PoE2 Trade - Path of Exile (sort by sum, change max price as necessary)
Q: What should I get on jewels?
The stormweaver spark playlist has a bunch of useful resource, including a deep dive that covers jewels. Do not try and copy my jewels exactly, because I was just going off a list of good mods and getting something with 4 of them. I would say % max energy shield is a mandatory mod though.
Q: Why use
Elemental Equilibrium?
This lets our
Orb of Storms create cold infusions for
Spark, and lets our
Frost Bomb create fire infusions for
Comet. There is no easy way to create fire infusions without using this keystone.
Q: What is the weapon swap for?
Sigil of Power is found on a
Chiming Staff. You can make use of weapon swaps in order to get this massive DPS buff while still using a different staff for your damage. Here is a youtube video guide on how to set up weapon swaps. You don't have to use the different weapon swap passive trees, just make sure your spells are allocated onto the correct weapon, as shown in the video.
Skill Gems
Support Gem Requirements:
Str 50
Dex 30
Int 120
Elemental Storm
Sigil of Power
Siphon Elements
Convalescence
Cast on Critical
Frost Bomb
Spark
Mana Remnants
Orb of Storms
Elemental Weakness
Mana Tempest

































Elemental Storm is used to buff and debuff. You need a source of damage as extra fire, either on your weapon through a prefix or through a
Greater Desert Rune on the staff, or a
Heart of the Well. This will make sure it always ignites, so that we can apply Fire Exposure automatically on enemies. This is generic - res and will work for our cold damage. We also want fire because of Arbiter's Ignition, which gives us a nice DPS buff.
Orb of Storms is cast on left click with Unleash in order to quickly get out 3 orbs
Spark will trigger every orb of storm cast, in order to get an absolutely ridiculous amount of hits on enemies. This enables
Cast on Critical and also provides a ton of damage, as we have 3 very high damage spells.
Cast on Critical
Comet will rain down to shotgun bosses, and you will get them insta-deleting packs quite frequently as well.
We generate cold infusions to buff spark via
Orb of Storms paired with the
Elemental Equilibrium keystone, as well as passively via
Siphon Elements.
We generate fire infusions to buff comet via
Frost Bomb paired with the
Elemental Equilibrium keystone
Sigil of Power and
Elemental Weakness are optional buttons bound to our weapon swap, that we can drop while waiting for a boss to come out of its animation. You can swap Cursed Ground for Hex Bloom support for map clear if you want.
Convalescence is a panic button
Mana Remnants is great value because we have a lot of investment in remnants, and this helps keep our mana pool at 100%
Mana Tempest is amazing clear, and i would press this at the start of any difficult encounter, such as when opening a breach.
Passive Tree
FROM NOTHING PASSIVES:
These are currently not able to be shown properly on the mobalytics passive tree, so I am listing the nodes you should take below:
Overexposure,
Stormbreaker,
Empowering Infusions,
Secrets of the Orb
secret of the orb should not be on a weapon set.
the other three should be on the pink weapon set.
