Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

I've played PoE on and off (Mostly off) for a few years now but always quit early due to being overwhelmed by all the different mechanics the game has. I followed your build and have made it to maps finally and I'm having a blast. Thanks so much for all the time you put in to detailed steps around gearing and leveling. You made it so much easier to understand what I'm doing and why and that let em be able to narrow down other questions to the point I finally feel like I have some idea what I'm doing. Thanks so much!

I also had a blast with this build this league, sure there were problems with survivability at times but once I got a pair of tailwind/elusive boots and the DPS started reaching the millions things kinda smoothed out.

The zoomy glass cannon playstyle really forces you to learn the mechanics of different fights, which is pretty nice after a while (when you actually know the fights).

I managed to kill my first Sirus (on my fourth try or something, he's pretty hard when you need to stand still to DPS I think) and Uber Elder, and a couple of Simulacrums without too much fuss.

Thanks for the guide Enki!

I got some vids if anyone is interested.

Nice! At least people can't say this build isn't endgame viable now. Btw what's up with that point hanging before ele overload?

I don't ..know? I wonder how long that has been there, haha.

Casual player here and having lots of fun with this build.

I'm feeling a bit lost on what i should upgrade next. Tried uber atziri and got absolutely wrecked in the "4 clones" stage. Can somebody please take a look at my gear and make suggestions? i have a 7-ex budget right now.

Thanks!

Just a progress update: I ended up picking up lower end culling strike gloves and lower end tailwind boots. HUGE difference. Had some personal "firsts" ever for the game recently. Killed Elder with one death (never even attempted before), got to simulacrum wave 18 on first try where Kosis spawned and wrecked me, and killed uber atziri with 3 deaths (more cus of lag).

Will be attempting sirus and shaper soon. Thanks for sharing this build Enki! As a casual player, I've wanted to do endgame content for a long time and think that the investment in currency is well worth the experience.

Hi dude, this is my first time with POE, im trying your build, and i like it a lot. but.. i have a few problems and doubts.

1. Im level 86 now, and i have problems with the maps, im dying a lot (mostly with the bosses), i have all my resistances caped over 75% to be more specific, somthing like 90% on all of them. 3.7k life, and 1.7k ES. Im using the unique items that you do suggest on the post.

2. could you please give me a few examples of high end items? dont understand much which items are for my build, i have read your post like a 100 millon times (it is awesome the way you explained).


please, if you have a moment check my stuff and write me and tell me whats wrong!
sorry about my english!

Your characters are set to private, so we can't inspect them. You can put them to public somewhere in your profile.
Feel free to check my character Dreagation_iii for some highend options.

done, now you'll be able to see my character, i get a few updates on my gear, but still dying... less then before

im also attaching the paste bin with my last upgrades.

Thank you for the guide. New player here and I have been really enjoying the progression this build carries me so far along with figuring out all the game mechanics.

After getting two 5 link items for arc and storm gem, I run out of mana more often than before. Is there any way in gearing that can compensate for this problem? I think I went with the stat priority with what is in the guide mostly.

When can we expect an updated version? Around league start, or later?

Curious too, and of course excited to see where you take this!

Hey guys,
I have heard a lot of you struggling with endgame on this build.
If you want to see just how powerful this build can be, i've been casually streaming while playing it. I'm in no means a expert but i can help out anyone having any questions.

Check it out if interested

I think your twitch account is private? Can't see any of your past videos.
