Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
If your favourite things to do in Path of Exile are running maps and farming currency and items, this build is for you. Spark builds are known for their top-tier clear speed and this one is no different. Despite its fast clear, it also has pretty good single target damage, enough to take down Uber Elder.
Build Pros
- Really good clear speed
- Good single target damage
- Straightforward build to gear and play
- All map mods, except elemental reflect are viable
- Good as a league starter due to cheap items
Build Cons
- Spark helmet enchants are expensive

Crown of The Inward EyeOne of the, if not the best helmet for the build, but it’s hard to get with 3 extra spark projectiles enchantment.
Other options include Rat’s Nest, Starkonja’s Head, Rare helmet with life and resistances.
Body Armour
Rare Body armourIdeally look for Vaal regalia with high life and resistances. Any extra energy shield you can get is also great.
Gloves
Rare Energy shield glovesLook for gloves with 70+ life and high resistances. Any extra energy shield is good as well.
You could also look for incursion gloves with life, resistances and Puhuarte mod – (46–48)% to Cold Resistance
(30–50)% increased Damage with Hits against Chilled Enemies. They are usually cheaper than you’d think.
Boots
Energy shield bootsLook for rare energy shield based boots with high life, 30% increased movement speed and some resistances. Extra energy shield is great bonus.
Voidwalker would be another great option.
Left Ring
Call of The BrotherhoodA must have item for the build – it gives us lightning to cold damage conversion, damage and extra shocks.
Amulet
Choir of The StormGreat amulet for crit spark build – gives us lots of extra damage, crit and clear speed.
2Hand Weapon
DuskdawnDuskdawn is our weapon of choice. It has everything we are looking for in a weapon – tons of damage mods.
Try to get 5-linked one as soon as possible, and when you have currency, 6-linked one.
Jewel
Jewel SetupBuild uses 1 Hazardous Research unique jewel. Put in in socket just on the bottom right of Quick Recovery node.
On rare jewels look for:
1.) Increased maximum life
2.) Global critical strike multiplier / with elemental skills / with lightning skills
3.) Any cast speed mod that applies to us
4.) Resistances and attributes if you are lacking
Flask
Flask Setup1.) Instant Recovery Divine Life flask with bleed removal
2.) Diamond Flask with shock immunity – use for bossfights
3.) Atziri’s Promise
4.) Vessel of Vinktar (Adds lightning damage to spells during flask effect version)
5.) Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline / Lavianga’s Spirit
Is the Energy Leech Support correct on the weapon? It’s listed as a green gem. Not sure if it’s simply supposed to be blue, or if in fact it’s meant to be a green gem and the Energy Leech Support is a typo.
