Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Would it be better to use Cloak of Defiance and Crown of the Inward Eye with this build or rares would be better?
Tried the build again after being my first guide back then with Bestiary league.
Really enjoying the changes to the build and the playstyle alot.

Thank you for your dedication to this work. Enki's Arc witch is a staple of POE :)

Crown of the Inward Eye works really well with this build.

Cloak of Defiance is fine, its just that it gives no max life so its easy for you to get one shot. I think you can use it like early into the endgame but eventually I think rare body armor with increased effect of bone offering is better cause it gives your more block chance and life regen.
Is Kitava's Thirst helmet + Arcanist Brand/Desecrate tip still valid? I never see them proc. Other gems in that helmet proc however.

Good build otherwise, returning to the game after a few years absence and it's oneshotting everything.
I wonder why my CWDT stopped using wave of conviction:( any guesses? does my glove's annointment affect that?

Can't see your character, but I'd guess it's because you levelled up your WoC gem past cwdt's threshold for triggering it. I'd just buy a new WoC gem from Lily; you're better off keeping it at gem level 1, anyway, to avoid taking extra damage in maps with physical reflect.

u are right :) i leveled it up without noticing :) thanks for the answer
Hi all.

Im a noob at this game, but enjoying the hell out of it. Have played Diablo 3 alot, and needed something knew to get my head around and also cuz i had some hunger to learn something knew. And yeah.... That hunger is not there anymore, im actually full up deluxe! What a game. So much to read, so fun to learn, and an awesome passive skill tree, overwhelmed. :)

Have some questions regarding some steps and not leveling up skill gems in this guide thou, have googled around and couldnt find any exact answer.

In Act 3 it says:
"‣ Keep this Arcane Surge at Lv6 or lower, to proc it with a single use"

Dont know if im not familiar with "proc" so its a lack of rendering or whatever, but would appreciate to get that one explained: Why? I have been reading about not lvl up the gem when im not met the requirements, and that i cant be using the gear the gem is socketed in (and also not the gem). But when i meet the requirements, isnt the gem always better when they level up?

Actually found the same in Act 4 when i kept reading a bit in the guide, but with no info at all regarding why i should keep it on a lvl, this time on lvl 1:
"‣ Get Desecrate from Siosa and keep it Lv1"

Just want to know what the heck im doing and why im doing it so i can learn. :)

That arc is linked to flame dash which has a low mana cost. Higher level of arcane surge requires higher mana cost to proc it, so you want to keep it lvl 6 thus flame dash would be able to proc it.

Desecrate does chaos dmg per sec to you as its level increases, since we only need the corpses and nothing else from it we can just keep it level 1 and have the min amount of chaos damage dealt to us.
All builds that piques my interest right now are made by people who don't actually play their own builds in the current league... sigh.
Yes.
