    Ummm.....perma-spark (5.0 aps) is possible w/out cs'ing, but the cost is certainly nothing to laugh at.

    As for your question, by my calculations, you would likely be wtfpwnd in 3-2 or 3-3 if you can't be perma-sparked. Even with perma-spark possible, if Emperor times his attack speed debuff right and you don't have any debuff-removing apoth you would still be in trouble if your hp is low enough. Being a little less than perma-sparked (3.33 or 4.0) can still be very effective in other places, I just have my doubts about doing 3-2 or 3-3 solo without it (at least if you plan to do Emperor).

    Perma spark is 4.0, btw. Sort of even less with beastial rage but thats not spammable while permasparking. Anyway, 2-2, 2-3, and 3-1 are also profitable. Work your way up from there to learn the timing.

    Alot of it comes down to timing your spark to avoid the huge hits but still keeping sparked enough to soak up heals from paint.
