Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now
" The best way to craft a wand for this build is to alt spam a base until you get t1 or t2 mana, then attempt to fracture it with seeds. Once you have a wand with a fractured high tier mana mod, use an essence of woe on it and hope for decent or removable mods and go from there.

" Ditch all the unique flasks except Atziri's, they're no good and you need at least two magic ones to give curse and bleed immunity. You also need an actual mana flask to take advantage of Essence Extraction. The instructions in the OP are good, follow them! |

Has something changed in the last few weeks? I had a pause, came back and I seem to have some serious mana sustain issues and it FEELS like I lost some damage as well.
So I loaded up pob - saw something over 600 mana regen listed. Updated it for latest patches - and I'm down to 350ish. I didn't Import any char changes/gear changes. And if I toggle off "consumed corpse past 2s" it goes negative. |

" None of your gear has mana and you're not even wearing a belt |
|
" The belt was likely the ni was crafting or something. But this wasn't about the gear - as I didn't import new gear in pob. The mana regen value just dropped in calculations after pob update for latest patches - almost 50%. And it feels like it drains faster ingame as well. I didn't notice any passive or item changes I recent patch notes. |

" I have to believe that's a coincidence--i haven't noticed any changes like these since the last patch, either in PoB or in-game. As far as PoB goes, it's gotta be either missing/wrong gear or some config setting or something like that. In-game...idk, were you running a map with -% to maximum resistances or Elemental Weakness curse? RF will fuck you up if anything is messing with your fire resistance. Also, it's counterintuitive, but increasing your life pool will tax your mana sustain because of Agnostic. Last edited by WorderMostFoul#7154 on Aug 24, 2020, 6:31:29 PM

At least get an atziris foible goddam you're running like 0 mana regen. Get a cloak of defiance too while you're at it

I've been playing this build for a while now and when i look at my PoB dps, i'm around 1.5mil shaper dps but the damage in game seems really off compared to my EDC trickster that has around 1.2mil shaper dps with 15 wither stacks. I tried doing shaper and it took FOREVER.
Is that normal behaviour for this build; it being lightning dps? or am i doing something wrong with my gear or something wrong in the PoB configuration? I'm currently in the process of crafting a -lightning resist bone helm so i'm sure that will help Here is my PoB pastebin for the arc witch: https://pastebin.com/ywzdUtvj compared to my PoB pasteben for the edc trickster: https://pastebin.com/mZF1jRP2 Last edited by wolfish426#5046 on Aug 24, 2020, 7:44:01 PM

" Well, you have to consider the nature of the build. Your trickster is a DoT build that has essentially 100% DPS uptime, so while it's dealing less on paper, it's going to kill faster until you get your Arc DPS higher. That said, this build definitely has a higher potential DPS output than any ED build I've ever seen because there are just so many more ways to scale the damage. First, since it looks like you're not planning on running Crown of the Inward Eye, allocate Crusader on your amulet. That will give you a huge damage boost. Hopefully the helmet you're crafting has the Arc chains an additional time enchantment, that's another 15% more right there. Next, cluster jewels are a big help. Get 2x Scintillating Idea plus something else good (I like Vengeful Commander) between your large and small jewels. You want more mana, too; try to push 10k. Every piece of gear possible should be absolutely dripping with mana. I'd get a cerulean ring to replace your topaz one, or at least annul defense and attack mods so you can craft mana and try to get a useful damage prefix on it. And a stygian vise so you can cram another 30-40 flat mana and life in there. I feel like all that should at least double your damage. I show you're at 2.25m sDPS with your gear as it is: https://pastebin.com/xpc1BreU |
