Overview of Build:

Publishing this variant for popular demand (was not planning to as it negates the build title a bit). It is important to know that fully min/maxed Spark Bloodmage is between 2 and 10 Mirrors depending on variant and selections. This variant avoids the major pieces which drive that price (
Temporalis,
Atziri's Splendour, and the rare
Solar Amulet).
Some important notes on gear and gems:
1 - You do not need a +4
The Vertex (equipment) which is a bit pricey. A +3 will still do a ton of work, try to roll it with good Crit Chance and Chaos Resistance.
2 - We achieve massive amounts of damage via infusions (for instance, a cold-infused
Spark that lines up with a Sione's Temper proc is over 700% more damage than the regular Spark proc). We also get frequent Fire Infusions for
Comet and even use Lightning Infusions to buff
Flame Wall. This saves us a boatload of cost on items. To achieve it, you run
Elemental Equilibrium on the tree,
Siphon Elements in the gems, and if you have the spirit,
Overwhelming Presence for easier proc of ailments.
3 -
Flame Wall and Arbiter's Ignition have been moved to
Spellslinger for ease of cast and constant proc of the
Flame Wall projectile buff on
Spark and the Archon buff.
4 - We switch from other ring types that help with Resist or Cast Speed to a
Gold Ring for maximum Rarity. The CDR, Cast Speed, and Life on this ring are also very helpful. The Lightning Damage is nice but not required.
5 -
Morior Invictus doesn't display well here, but you want Spirit per core, then optionally you can have all Elemental Res, Chaos Res, Global Defenses, or Max Life. My preference is Spirit/All Res/Chaos Res, because it solves these affixes immensely to free up room for more rarity on other pieces.
