Archmage Spark Stormweaver
Sorceress — Stormweaver, built around Spark.
Socket the Archmage buff — every point of mana becomes flat lightning damage. Mana is offence AND defence via Mind Over Matter.
Playstyle: All-rounder · best clear in 0.5.0. Budget: league-start friendly · scales forever.
Verified performance
This build deals 1.2× the damage of a typical build on identical gear. Measured with the real Path of Building calculation engine on a standardised endgame gear baseline, so builds can be compared like for like. Your own numbers will differ with your actual gear and configuration.
| Damage per second | 2,477 |
|---|---|
| Damage vs typical build | 1.2× |
| Life | 1,964 |
| Energy shield | 233 |
| Effective health pool | 5,466 |
| Survivability vs typical build | 1.01× |
Because every build is tested on the same defensive gear, survivability barely varies between them — damage is what separates them, and that is what this ranking measures.

How this build works
- Archmage: Socketed persistent buff — adds flat lightning damage to spells scaled by your maximum mana. This is a GEM, not a tree node: socket it and it converts your mana pool into a damage stat.
- Mind Over Matter: 30% of damage taken from mana before life — the same mana pool that fuels Archmage now also tanks hits. One stat, two jobs.
- Mana Tempest: Storm zone that amplifies your spells while consuming mana — cast Spark through it for a burst window that scales with the pool you built.
- Sigil of Power: Ground sigil that grows in stages as you spend mana inside it — Archmage's huge cast costs feed the sigil to max stage fast, then everything you cast inside hits harder.
- Force of Will: Stormweaver notable — verified in the Stormweaver ascendancy disc. Amplifies your spell output alongside the mana stack.
