Enki's Arc Witch - maybe back some day?
|
Good news everyone!
I recently got back into POE and of course wanted to start out with my favorite skill. While I've built it the same as always through the acts, the Elementalist changes heavily favor ignite so that was the plan for endgame. I've ended up with a variation of BuffaloBaron's Ignite Arc Elementalist that uses the Traitor keystone for flask uptime. Even though I've deviated slightly from it, I can say that the build and guide are both excellent and IMO the best way to play Arc as an Elementalist currently. This means that I currently have no reason to maintain this guide, but once I'm more accustomed to the current state of this game I'll try some Templar setups to see if they are worthy! As always, you can follow any progress on my stream! twitch.tv/enkivt Last edited by Enki91#7725 on Jul 4, 2025, 7:54:43 AM Last bumped on Jul 4, 2025, 7:55:48 AM

Can you dual wield fishing rods? Do you think you could get the fastest cast speed lightning warp with two fishing rods or with a +3 lightning 22% cast staff?

" Unfortunately not, they count as 2H. I think 2x perfect Apeps would beat out a +3 max CS staff. twitch.tv/enkivt Last edited by Enki91#7725 on Jul 22, 2021, 12:02:31 PM

Hi, i came back after some time to try the game again, and i somehow stumbled into your thread.
I like the concept of Arc. It reminds of the old days in another game :) After reading your guide i have some questions. Is it possible to play this as EB + CoD build? (im sure its possible, but do you think its worth it? With all auras running, my mana pool would be reduced by a lot...) Im not very rich and CoD is probably the only good item i have, thats why im asking :P I would have to safe currency for a long time to buy both, catalyst and invitation. Thats why i hope i can use a rare belt to gain some extra life, mana and res + a wand with 1% leech from catharina. Is 1% leech enough with and without Vaal Pact? Can Vaalpact really safe me vs reflect mobs? (i never used this node, so i have no idea) Would be nice to get some feedback. Merry Christmas |

" Hi, and Merry Christmas! CoD will be possible, but you'll have to drop one aura, either PoL or HoI, i'd recommend dropping the ladder. VP does save you against reflect, especially when combined with the maxres of PoL and popping your Topaz flask. With only 1% leech it gets kinda funky though, i would in the meantime replace Empower with Life Leech until you can afford the Catalyst/Invitation setup. twitch.tv/enkivt

Thx for the fast reply,
i will go with the LL Gem, should make it much easier to find a cheap Wand with decent stats. When i drop HoI, i can replace it with Arctic Armor and i wont need an unset ring for know. Gives me more choices for this slot. Suddenly this build is affordable, for me ;) thx again! Last edited by Zentr0x#4161 on Dec 25, 2014, 12:09:59 PM

Nice guide!
I want to ask you a question: what's your opinion on apep's rage? |
|
" Apeps is great, but not for this build. The mana cost jumps to 170 mana/cast which is simply unsustainable. DPS is at 38.5k fully charged and it's bit less exposure to reflect, but yeah, the mana cost. twitch.tv/enkivt

You tried with Pledge? If so how much dps you got? Nice Build btw!

" Thanks! Unfortunately i do not have a Pledge of Hands to hand, so i can't test it, but it's most likely beaten out by dual Catalyst. twitch.tv/enkivt
