New Player Bloodmage-Not Enough Spirit for CoC Comet (Need Help)

Hey guys, I’m a new player and I’ve been playing Bloodmage for the past couple of days and having a lot of fun. I’m doing really good damage with Spark and I want to add Comet to my build. However, with only 144 Spirit, it won’t trigger Cast on Critical because I don’t have enough Spirit. How can I get more Spirit with this build? Here is my build: https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Apandim-2508/character/Jadigarr

How would you improve this build to incorporate Comet? Any input or help is appreciated.

To pickup the additional 56 spirit I’d recommend picking it up on your chest piece- definitely the easiest fix.

a few other sources are: kulemak signet with spirit (200str or 200int ones), Undying Hate jewel with Spiritkeeper or if you are rich an Against the Darkness with 12 spirit per major node or a chest with Spirit as mentioned but since you are using Rathpith you gona sacrifice like 500life (which is damage and crit) and not sure its worth on your build

Don’t sleep on Perfect Essence of Ruin

If you’re running a CI build or a no-ES build (armor or EB/MoM), this perfect essence modifier may do more for your build than the hybrid modifier on your chest. 15% physical taken as chaos is an enormous reduction to physical damage when you have good chaos mitigation. For me, I am a Chayula with 90% chaos resist thanks to ATD.

Build Theory: Blackflame Incinerate Infinite DPS Autobomber

[Based off this concept of using invulnerable Unearth minions.](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1nquubx/chaos_walking_simulator/) Since Blackflame turns Incinerate's Ignite into a Chaos DoT and Contagion-afflicted minions can proliferate all Chaos DoTs (not just ED), in theory the Compounding ignite stacking people are doing with Oil Grenade should work here too. This could be one of the fastest builds in the game, especially with how many instances of damage we should be getting. The new minion support from passives and gems make them faster, and they are already invulnerable with Brutus' Brain (which does not block their Contagion-touch from dealing damage). The issue will be solving single target (since we won't have Contagion'd minions during solo fights or fights with long downtime), which may be as simple as just running a Crossbow on Set 2. Class and gear options are pretty open. Lich, Oracle, PF and Varashta may be good immediate picks. If someone tests this before I get the chance, I'd like to know how it goes.

I have a [new character creation] problem

That about sums it up. So far I have made: oracle (ice wolf, plant, reap, choir, coc comet), shaman (bear), varashta (djinn/minion, plant, whirling assault), stormweaver (infusion), blood mage (coc comet, blood spear), pathfinder (poison, ice lance), titan (whirling assault, ember fusillade), smith of kitava (whirling assault), mercenary (crossbow) Fully admitting I have a problem. With that embraced, any ideas on what to go for next?
