Sorc damage vanished

Hi all, actually enjoying POE2 at the moment , I have a 94 deadeye grenade thats good, but I wanted to play a caster. I started leveling a sorc which was absolutely slapping, ive got towards the end of Act 2 and the damage has absolutely tanked, I have no idea why.

Any help on this, or another good build to try? I want to play a caster, dont mind starting again

  • Looks like you invested 15+ points into defense. Feel free to move them to offense passives for more damage.
  • Depending on whether you are trying to have a legitimate league start experience or if you want to do twink leveling (buy power using your main character's wealth).
    • For former: gamble weapon (look for +3 all spell which starts dropping from level 25, and spell damage prefix). Choose the best one and exalt and desecrate.
    • For latter: buy crown of the eyes (+1 all skill), or if you have more money: +2 ~ +4 vertex -- you can wear it starting level 33. Buy +2 all spell amulet (will require level 32 to wear), and annoint something useful (e.g. heavy ammunition for 40% damage inc). Buy tabula rasa, and put 6 good jewels into it (can easily double you damage).

Welcome to the Act2!

I personally didn't play spark (arc enjoyer here), but I personally had a blast with Orb of Storm (Elemental Discharge, Considered Casting) with trigger-loaded Thunderstorm (Shock Conduit/Static Shocks/Coursing Current). Despite constant shock consumption, those 2 alone were enough of the damage for me even for bosses (I'm in act4 rn).

Also I recommend putting Burning Inscription instead of less delay for curse. Less QoL, but solid chunk of free damage.

I also thought the same thing when I was leveling spark. The damage just falls off a cliff early. I don't think leveling as spark is ideal if you're playing lightning.

I am currently testing out other spells for leveling lightning.

I am actually level 43 and using orb of storm + ember fusillade.

It casts faster which triggers orb of storm faster and makes use of the lightning infusion. The single target has also been fantastic.

I saw that you're a sorceress and haven't ascended yet, but you can just skip getting "Sacrificial Blood" notable.

edit: Your tree is not ideal, I'd recommend following a guide if you want to continue as spark.
