Help with spark stormweaver build

Hello everyone, I am a beginner with path of exile 2. I finished the campaign and now I am sitting at level 80.

I was following animeprincess spark stormweaver build which went for chaos inoculation. However, where I am right now is that I have only 4.3k or so ES, which makes me feel relatively squishy. I also, went and added crit damage and my damage is around 10k for both spark and orb of storms, which I feel is enough at this point, as I do not know how to increase at this stage.

Maybe anyone can help me in how to increase energy shield or in general how to fix my build to have higher ES and damage?

Here is the link to my build: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ir6990od

Thank you for helping me out!

So I think you misclicked a bit. Check out these nodes, they're like 1 click from endpoints and should up your ES quite a bit.

Heavy Buffer - 40% max ES EDIT: due to bypass, this shouldn't be specced since CI

Illuminated Crown - +70% Helmet ES

Patient Barrier 60% Max ES

Dampening Shield - 28% max ES

After that I think you could aim to improve your amulet, the life roll is wasted, it could be flat es or global defence, or maybe the amulet will also have a higher max es roll.

edit: updated info on heavy buffer

Level up your spark gem and getting your fourth ascendancy are two very obvious upgrades. You can also put exposure effect on weapon set 2 and also put curse effect. That will help a lot with damage before rakiata's

Do a leech run and you'll get ~200 exalted orbs. From those alone it'll be easy to buy proper gear. I spent only exalteds on trading and got 8-9k ES on level 80.

Currently I'm at work so can't share mine, but can share my gf's poe build from 2 weeks ago (from our chat history): https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1944c

As you see she's not really into the 1HP build, and she's building a bit of spirit for the coc/coea etc. But for her this build is good enough to do t10-11 easily.

Hope this helps

at start of tree go right side for more energy shield. you can remove the left side as it is not as good as right one. take nodes like patient barrier, illuminated crown, turn the clock forward

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
