[0.5.5] Squishy's 1-Button Spark GL

Endgame Overview

This build uses Spellslinger to continuously cast Powered by Verisium and Frost Bomb for maximum uptime on cold-infused Spark. It heavily invests into mana scaling and gets ~70% “Damage taken from Mana before Life”. This allows us to have high max mana and mana regeneration to rapidly recover damage taken while sustaining our Spark casts. Archmage also provides a massive source of added gained lightning damage based on our mana pool, making mana scaling both our primary offensive and defensive layer.

The Gemling Legionnaire ascendancy is used to provide exceptional mobility through the combination of Gem Studded and Mobility, allowing the build to maintain great movement speed while casting. Gem Studded also greatly reduces the cost of our spells.

This creates a fast paced and very mobile playstyle that excels at both high speed mapping and sustained single target damage in endgame content.

Endgame Transition Breakdown

DO NOT transition into the full endgame setup until you are at least Level 75 and after acquiring Cloak of Defiance. The build heavily relies on mana scaling and "Damage is taken from Mana before life", so transitioning too early can feel weak and uncomfortable. Make sure you have decent "Increased mana regeneration rate" on gear and enough “Damage taken from Mana before Life” through some of the following, aim for ~70%:

• Cloak of Defiance (50%)
• The Greatwolf's Rune of Willpower (15%)
• Lucidity (8%) + small passives (8%)
• Chakra of Thought (8%) + small passive (4%)

Main Skill Gem

Spark: Efficiency II - Rakiata's Flow - Zenith II - Vilenta's Propulsion - Mobility

Spirit Gems

Archmage: Lightning Mastery

Mana Remnants: Harmonic Remnants II - Remnant Potency I

Not required but if you have extra spirit you can run Charge Regulation for some extra crit but you will need to pick up Infusion of Power on the passive tree.

Utility

Sigil of Power (Chiming Staff): Rapid Casting II - Magnified Area II - Prolonged Duration II - Cooldown Recovery II

Runic Ward

You will need some runic ward on gear to maintain Powered by Verisium. I would aim for ~250.
