Spark Inquisitor Gear, Jewels, and Flasks (PoE The Forbidden Sanctum)

Path of Building

Path of Building for a Level 95 Spark Inquisitor build can be found here

Included are the skill trees, gem links, and an example set of low/mid level gear with room for upgrades. Resistances have been excluded as they can be filled in on any piece as needed and available.

We use the Path of Building Community Fork for all of our builds, which is highly recommended. If you are encountering errors importing the build, please ensure you are using the Community Fork.

For crafting Rare items, you can check out all the affixes that can roll on an item base, depending on its level, influence, and many other factors, using our affix tool.

Armour

Helmet

A Rare helmet is the easiest to find an enchantment for and makes it easy to fill out your Resistances. An Energy Shield and/or Armour base are the most ideal. Prioritize stats as follows:

1. [Uncapped] Elemental Resistances
2. +# to Maximum Life
3. Adds # to # Lightning Damage to Spells (Shaped Prefix)
4. Adds # to # Cold Damage to Spells (Shaped Prefix)
5. % Increased Energy Shield (Energy Shield Base)
6. +# to Maximum Energy Shield (Energy Shield Base)

For Unique helms, there is one option:

Starkonja's Head is an excellent helm across the board for all Critical Strike based builds. Offering some Critical Strike, a nice Life roll, and a healthy amount of Evasion, this helmet is overall the most accessible Unique option and is usually easy to find an enchant for.

Recommended Enchantments for this build are:

1. Spark fires 3 additional projectiles
2. 40% increased Spark damage
3. 30% increased Spark projectile speed

Chest

The Covenant is the best cheaply available chest that can be used all the way until Level 100.

Boots

Voidwalker are the most convenient choice, as they are generally quite cheap once Shaper farm starts on a league and they allow us to drop Pierce Support from our Vaal Spark 6-Link. Phasing is very convenient for clear speed and safety and these boots have good defensive stats and Movement Speed.

A Rare pair of boots should be used until Voidwalker can be acquired. Prioritize stats as follows:

1. % Increased Movement Speed
2. [Uncapped] Elemental Resistances
3. +# to Maximum Life

Recommended Enchantments for this build are:

1. Adds 1 to 160 Lightning Damage if you haven’t Killed Recently (Best Bossing)
2. 16% increased Attack and Cast Speed if you’ve Killed Recently (Best Clear)
3. 0.6% of Damage Leeched as Life and Mana if you’ve Killed Recently (Best Defense)

Since Spark is “weakest” for single-target, we recommend using the Added Lightning Damage if you plan on farming bosses such as Uber Elder.

Gloves

A Rare pair of Fingerless Silk Gloves is a great choice for a balance between damage and defense. Prioritize stats as follows:

1. [Uncapped] Elemental Resistances
2. +# to Maximum Life
3. % Increased Energy Shield
4. +# to Maximum Energy Shield

Shadows and Dust are the best Unique option for clear speed. This is the ideal end-game choice for damage.

Weapon and Shield

Weapon

A Rare sceptre is the best possible option, with the base being ideally a Void Sceptre or an Opal Sceptre for the implicit effects. Prioritize stats as follows:

Start with a +1 and get a +2 when you can afford or craft it

1. +1 to all Spell Skills
2. +1 All Lightning Spell Skills
3. % Increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells
4. % Increased Spell Damage
5. % Increased Global Critical Strike Multiplier
6. % Increased Lightning Damage
7. Adds # to # Lightning Damage to Spells
8. Adds # to # Cold Damage to Spells
9. % Increased Cast Speed

Doryani's Catalyst is the best overall unique option and can usually be obtained cheaply.

Singularity is a good budget option when league starting to get you into maps right away.

Shield

A Rare Titanium Spirit Shield should be used, Prioritize stats as follows:

1. +1 All Lightning Spell Skills
2. +# to Maximum Life
3. % Increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells
4. % Increased Spell Damage
5. % Increased Lightning Damage
6. % Increased Cast Speed
7. +# to Maximum Energy Shield
8. % Increased Energy Shield

Accessories

Amulet

Choir of the Storm is the absolute best option for this build and provides a massive injection of damage.

A Rare amulet can be used as well, with whatever stats you need to fill in.

Rings

Call of the Brotherhood should be one of your first pickups when you can afford it. Combined with switching in Hypothermia Support in your Vaal Spark link, this is a huge boost to damage.

Berek's Grip is a great budget option that is also exceptional for leveling.

A Rare ring should be used in the other slot. An Opal Ring is the ideal base, but any will do. Prioritize stats as follows:

1. [Uncapped] Elemental Resistances
2. +# to Maximum Life
3. % Increased Lightning Damage
4. Curse Enemies with Conductivity on Hit (Crusader Suffix)
5. % Increased Damage (Crafted Prefix)

Critical Strike Chance and Multiplier can also be Essence crafted for the best possible rings but this is often expensive and tedious to craft.

Belt

A Rare Crystal Belt is the best option in many situations. Prioritize stats as follows:

1. [Uncapped] Elemental Resistances
2. +# to Maximum Life
3. % Increased Damage (Crafted Prefix)
4. +# to Armour

Any Rare belt will do to fill in until a Crystal Belt can be acquired. Stygian Vises are also a good choice.

Bisco's Leash is generally quite affordable and works well together with Shadows and Dust. This is a good option if you are farming for profit.

Jewels

Standard Jewels

Standard Jewels are preferred over Abyss Jewels and should be prioritized as follows:

1. % Increased Maximum Life
2. % to Critical Strike Multiplier with Lightning Skills
3. % Increased Critical Strike Multiplier for Elemental Skills
4. % Increased Critical Strike Chance with Lightning Skills
5. % Increased Global Critical Strike Multiplier
6. % Increased Global Critical Strike Chance
7. % Increased Spell Damage While Holding a Shield
8. % Increased Spell Damage
9. % Increased Cast Speed

Flasks

• Seething Divine Life Flask of Staunching
• Atziri's Promise
• Experimenter’s Diamond Flask of the Order
• Chemist’s Silver Flask of Warding
• Alchemist’s Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline

Cinderswallow Urn can replace the Silver Flask, and is particularly good if the Veiled Mod is % Increased Critical Strike Chance during Flask Effect.
