Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

Would an explode chest work well with this build?

The explosions would be barely scaled, so likely not.

Thanks for the reply, looking forward to seeing the updates you put into the build. :)

Hello all. I followed this guide to a great extend, and I have learned alot. Also, first time doing endgame content. This has been fun, time to cool of til next season, thank for the great work Enki!

This is were my gear ended up ^^

Holy fuck, nice staff!!

I think Flesh and Stone is the right approach to a new "arc witch"
because it combine the best of two worlds, nearby and far.

steelskin is ok with cast when dmg taken for most of the uses.


but the one thing that bothers me is the main concept about an arc witch. lets consider all the other people who cannot afford ultra gear.

an arc witch still needs to CAST really quick arc to make damage.
if you cant freeze enemies any more and a pack of 1000 enemies are running towards you especially in modded t16 maps you will have a really, really bad time.

i like the idea of the constant mana, even with good mana reg arc skipped somethimes with my old build.

i dunno what you have planned enki but a quick lookup at your char told me the vague direction, tried it, and im not happy with it.


because it dont changes the fact that there are situations (for example sirus lv.8) where you hate being an arc witch, because you cant stand for straight 2-3 seconds to make damage (sirus jumping around like on steroids)


if there would be some way of applying a damage over time dot or dmg debuff with arc that would be awesome. but again, im new to this game. im sure you are one of the most exp. guys when it comes to balancing a new arc witch.

@Enki what do you think about new skill gem Kinetic Bolt? I know we don't have much information about it yet. But it looks like a better version of Arc.

@Enki91 and what about Overshock? If we're going again on the shock route, of course

This build was recommended for new players on Youtube and its awesome that you took your time to create it, however the leveling guide section really needs to be looked over. Im only going through act 1 so far and Im already confused.

"‣ Enter Prison, get Added Lightning Damage and link it to Spark + Arcane Surge"

I was looking for added lightning damage in prison forever until I gave up and found out that you actually get it as a reward in camp.

"‣ Craft both wands with the following recipe: Magic Wand + Topaz Ring + Orb of Alteration"

What both wands? The guide says nothing about picking up 2 wands, and nothing about picking up a magic wand that you need for the recipe.

I am sure I will run into more confusing stuff further along and if you want to, I can post what I find confusing from a beginners perspective.

Thanks

You can buy skill gems in town. For Act 1, you can get them from Nessa. You can get wands from her as well. I hope this helps :D
