This video was recorded on August 18, one day before the 3.22 launch. The gear is the same as in the PoB, but I've added tattoos to it.
The purpose of this video is to test if Crit Spark Trickster is still decent without the Crucible tree. Some of my gear might look expensive because I've put together my old gear, but you should be fine with cheaper ones.
TL;DR
This build is not a league starter, and you should not play Spark Trickster as your first character. You'll need some currency before starting the build. The damage is still fine without the Crucible tree, and since we have a lot of Dex and Int, we can use almost every Dex and Int node on the tree while still having enough for gear and gems.

About Tattoos
Since we are on the right side of the tree, we have a lot of Dex and Int
For Int nodes, you have 3 options:
1. Skill Effect Duration
2. Increased Effect of Non-Curse Auras from Your Skills
3. Increased Effect of Herald Buff on You'
Try to fit in one 'Chance to Hinder Enemies on Hit with Spells
For Dex nodes
the best in slot here is Projectile Speed , and try to fit in one Loyalty Tattoo of Ahuana

PoB
Crit Spark Trickster [Mageblood] - https://pobb.in/6sGgSMbETSAk
This is the version that I played last league, it has pretty good damage and is an all-rounder.
Crit Spark Trickster [Mageblood w/o Grand Spectrum] - https://pobb.in/1zOGS06rubWX
This version is cheaper, and you can play around with tattoos since we can slot in base jewels with good mods, along with more Dex and Int, allowing us to use more tattoos.
Spark Trickster Elemental Overload [No Mageblood] [Not Recommended] - https://pobb.in/e8eP0a9zreni
This is where you would start, but I don't recommend it.
Currently, we don't have access to the EO keystone like we did in the Sanctum and Crucible leagues. The best way to get the EO keystone is through a sceptre, but sceptres don't have projectile speed, so we lose a lot of damage.

Lastly, please read the notes in the PoB.
I've found that a lot of people don't use the Forbidden Jewel [Explosive Expert] correctly, so you will lose a lot of damage if it's not set up right.
If you have any problems or questions, please leave a comment. I'll try my best to help.
