Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

"

Thank for enlighten me!
I have trouble finding a staff with 6 sockets. I just finished act 10, so should i keep using two 3 sockets wand? Or it's mandatory to have a 6 slots staff?

You can run 4/5 socket staff, and I will prefer to do that, to free up your sockets for other gems, its super easy to roll 4 sockets with jewellers orb, also easy to 4 link it, or if you have alot jewellers, just spam it and you will hit those 6, then linking it to at least 4 is super easy.
Wands are fine untill maps, but then you need your all gems set up

Sadly the search function has no option "search only in this thread", which sucks hard.

Quick question. Why is it better to use "Elemancer" as Ascendency instead of "Mastermind of Discord"? The extra Lightning Penetration + reduced Mana reserved sounds like a pretty awesome dps increase.

80% dmg per 4 golems, Ailment avoidance and more buff effects - its too huge to drop imo.
With Mastermind you have to use Herald, which mean you will have to drop one of the auras recommended in the build, so another downside and I do think herlad will provide you that much to drop all of that.

Whole point of playing witch for Arc is Elemenacer I think, and golems buffs, otherwise you will choose some templar Ascend probably.

To add to this: what I did was bought a cheap Agnerod's west, 4 linked it, then bought a tabula. I'm in T9 maps and so far its dps is fine.

ok thanks for the info :)

Very good build thank you. But i dont think its gonna be viable in this league.

Golems always dying in the middle of the Delirium event even on t1 maps, and you lost tons of dps right in the fight where clear speed is n1 priority.

Maybe minion life instead of Stone golem? regen es is not a problem, so that could work and help golem survivability

I am a new to PoE player (a.k.a still a noob :D) and I started Deliriun with your build. At the moment I am still in the Acts and I am doing well and it is fun.

Quick question about Auras gems/gearing setup.

As I understand we need Zealotry/Discipline/Flesh and Stone/Clarity. Clarity is not in the end setup but I didnt see when we drop it. Anyway, I have put them All in the boots but I am a little confused about why we (or do we) need 4L piece as there is no support gem for them. Isn't there?

And another quick one regarding Flame dash. I don't understand if we should use it with Second Wind or ArcaneSurge. At some point It was required to replace SW with AS, but then in the gear section it is again coupled with SW. I like SW and I am using it with that skill. Should I change to AS?
Thanks,

Great build so far!

Your Path of Building differs from your skill tree snapshots in this posting...in the posting's skill tree you don't access 'Annihilation' and 'Assassination' nodes, but take the 'Elemental Overload' node. Which version is correct for Delirium?

Once again: thanks for this incredible solid build!
:)

I wanted to copy Enki's latest up to date build but I notice he is not playing this build in Dillerium (unless i missed something), which is fine, cant expect someone to play Arc witch for the rest of their lives. But it does worry me that this build is not going to have the advanced refinements of the previous build (where things changed when improvements were found).
