Why Vaal Spark?

The goal and purpose for this build is to clear maps no matter the layout as fast and clean as possible. For this, four essentials are mandatory. Survivability, movement speed, DPS and coverage. With this setup as presented below, these essentials are fulfilled, and, moreover, it leaves all Spark competitors in regard to speed in its dust.

With a high projectile count, 0 mana cost and amazing screen coverage, you can just run through maps without giving a thing what encounters you. It just disappears.


PoB



Min-Max Version
Mid - High Version
(Currently there is no option to set Runecrafts on PoB.
The Evasion Mastery is set with a Runecraft of the Fortress.)


🛡️ Defences 🛡️

🪬 >10.000 ES
🥋 94% evasion chance
🔮 100% spell suppression
🧿 >100% curse reduction
🌟 chaos immunity
🌟 stun immunity
🌟 aliment immunity
🌟 corrupted blood immunity
🌟 reflect immunity
🌬️ high ES leech & gain
👟 up to 407% movement speed
⚔️ Offences ⚔️

🏹 78 projectiles fired per second
🥊 9 Mil. per projectile hit
☄️ 513% projectile speed
🎯 7 Pierce Count

Realtime hits per second are ofc dependent on the terrain that is run. In closer areas projectiles bounce off the walls and increase the actual hit rate. In more open layouts therefor it’s offscreen coverage stands out.

✳️ Strengths Weaknesses ⛔️

+ Super fast clear speed
+ High juiced maps capable
+ Can run nearly all content
+ IQQ build
+ FUN!

- Expensive to setup
- Getting used to double flask juggling


🤺 Gear 🤺

In regard to gear, this version of Vaal Spark has a few mandatory pieces to enable a full uptime and availability of Vaal Spark. The rest is scalable over time.

⚔️ Gear Choices ⚔️
➡️ Mendetory Gear ⬅️


Bow:
As mentioned the crucible tree on the bow provides to build with increased flask effect and 40% reduced Souls per Use on Vaal skills.

Flask:
The legacy Soul Catcher provides less Soul Gain Prevention and reduced Souls per use. The build uses two of those to juggle between to recharge one while the other is active.

In combination with % increased Flask Effect passive tree notes for a full 100% reduced Souls per Use constant uptime for Vaal Spark is enabled.
💡 Recommendations 💡

Chest:
Since the build is CI sources for ES are important. But not only that. With a chest with legacy Global Defenses and increased Aura effect it's a huge boost not only for defenses but offensives aswell.

Quiver:
The quiver's stats have a big impact on how the build performs. With a high projectile speed stat projectiles travel longer distances and are able to pierce more targets. With the additional legacy Crit mod the build can fix its crit chance.

Gloves:
As a IIQ build it's hard to come by fitting gloves for this build. Besides a high ES base Culling Strike is a big dps boost. Since the build has allready a solid amount of ES, a further dps increase can be achieved with + Frenzy and Spell Damage. These stats can ofc be exchanged for defensive ones aswell.

Ring:
Original Sin converts the lightning dmp into chaos and is a dps increase big time.

Amulet:
Here the last stat non-chaos dmg as extra chaos dmg is huge with additional crit multi.

Watcher's:
The most important stat on Watcher's Eye for this build is ES gain on hit. With the high amounts of projectiles hitting targets it is besides the basics the most important defensive stat.

Adorned:
If you're looking for the bang for buck you can use this spreadsheet as reference.
📍 Other important stats: 📍

☄️ Projectile speed
Since Vaal Spark like any other Spark version has a set duration, the speed at which the projectiles move has a direct influence on the chance how many monsters are hit and therefore on DPS and how far the projectile can travel offscreen.

🎯 Pierce count
To pick up on projectile speed it is also an DPS increase to set the amount of maximum pierces as high as possible to not lose a spark on the first target it hits.

🪬 Energy Shield
Stacking ES with CI is self explanatory. To recover incoming dmg tho asap “Watcher’s Eye” has an amazing modifier for that “Gain 30 Energy Shield per Enemy Hit while affected by Discipline”. Additional ES leech can provide additional recup for single targets.

🥋 Evasion Rating
With the guiding principle in mind ‘dead enemies deal no damage’, it ofc still makes sense to add some evasion. For this the build uses a “Jade Flask”, “Grace Aura” and another huge “Watcher’s Eye” modifier “+8% chance to Evade Attack Hits while affected by Grace”.

💠 Spell Suppression 💠
Since the build has no armour stacker levels of ele max hit spell suppression is important. Most of the incoming damage is spell damage since the build is moving fast. With notes from the left side tree its easy to cap it.

🏁 Conclusion 🏁

Since Vaal Spark is nowhere near meta or on the radar of GGG, future nerfs are highly unlikely.
This makes this build a good investment for fast and fun future proof farming.
Since my goal is to this day and with future updates to get the most out of this build and to really min-max it, share your opinions on it. I’m happy for some love for this build 🩵
Thanks and GL HF
