Budget-Friendly Spark+CoC Temple Runner by Ignatius

Overview of Build:

POB Here: https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1763f

This variant is designed for beginning your temple running, and can take you up to a 1/4 - 1/2 finished temple (in terms of difficulty). Headhunter really carries, and it is less than 5 Divine and still falling. You still don't have Olroth's Resolve or some of the bigger damage items.

One way this variant "cheats" its damage is with a Blind tech. We run Blind II in Spark, which applies Blind to all enemies, then we use Blindside gems elsewhere to cheat a LOT of Crit Chance (and Bonus) which will proc the Cast on Critical with Comet frequently without having to overspend on Gear.

As mentioned in the video, leverage the Guiding Palm of the Eye / sceptre slot to pad the resist you need, with that and Choir of the Storm & Morior Invictus (all resistances) you only need to solve for one other RES on gear.

The wand in this POB is a 5 exalt wand. You could pick up a Dueling Wand off the ground and essence / slam it for an even better wand, the idea is to show how minimal the wand needs to be to get the build off the ground.

The jewels shown here are probably overspend for what you need, but I don't want to advise people to buy bad jewels. Aim for these properties as high as you can on the budget you prefer.

The Heart of the Well here is MUCH different (and of course cheaper) than in the other variants.
