Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

Just to make it clear, mentioning Fortify is related to the question raised by Ledanika, and all the follow-up discussion. I have no intention to discuss with people that would not benefit from our discussion.

So much for telling you to not take it confrontationally ... I'm sorry that you felt insulted by what I wrote. Clearly I'm far from understanding how to ask for help here besides not knowing how to play this game.

Hah, yeah, the only good lot I've gotten from Sirus this league was an Awakener's Orb on my first (A5) fight...which dropped right after I died with zero portals left.

My PoB is exporting links that then won't import, I (and others) get a 404 error from the pastebin links it creates. I've got the community fork and it's been doing this for a week. I guess I'll uninstall and reinstall later and post a link then, since it sounds like this isn't universal.

Killed my first Sirus A8 on this character two days ago. Drop me an Awakened CoC. Thought I hit the Jackpot until I checked the trade site. 10 exalts. DAMN!! A season too late. Also, still drooling over your Stygian Vise. Is their a "Crafting for Idiots" process you can share? I have tried what little I know and even went as far as spamming about 200 Chaos. I spent 4 exalts on Lucent Fossils this morning.

Wow, I'd love to get a 10-ex drop from a Sirus kill!! Lol

I followed pretty much the exact process someone (I think Gimdornim, sorry if this is a misattribution!) laid out a few weeks back to make this:

I'd absolutely trade for the base, it's so much easier. I'm sure mine was an ex or less. Search for stygian vises, min ilvl 75, 80+ life and 60+ mana as explicit mods and no open prefixes. Do another group with count 1 40%+ fire resist, cold resist, and lightning resist (explicit) and a third group with count 2 two open suffixes, one open suffix, and one crafted suffix. Use 20 fertile catalysts on it, craft cannot roll attack mods, cross fingers, and slam with Redeemer's orb. (Then use another 20 catalysts if you got lucky.) You should have at least a 50% chance of getting t1 or t2 mana recovery.

Sorry if I butchered the quotes here, I'm doing this from my phone and it's a pain in the ass. Lousy job.

Edit: fixed the misquotes. Thanks for the props, zarasi! ^^

I have this one. Craicic Chimeral are cheap at the moment so I am spamming them till I get a solid life or resist mod. Then craft dual mods to get me by while I work on a better one. The mana recovery rate will be a leap in QoL. I am currently running a Heiro ball lightning build that the tree and gear is almost exactly the same as this one, except for the Pledge of Hands and Skyforth.

The Skyforth give a major mana boost and still able to run RF. I believe I am pushing close to 12k unreserved mana.

Arion can you hit me up in game? I might be able to help you progress in the right direction.

Is this shield worth multimodding with life and mana?

Hi Enki! First of all thanks for the great guide! I have a situation that I hope you can help me out with. I'm now at level 95, but I still sometimes die from enemies high damage spikes (said enemies are around level 80, I even died from a legion encounter in a tier 7 map), which is very discouraging tbh. I don't know what my problem is, pardon me because I'm fairly new to this game and your guide is the first one that I followed. Is it because I don't run around enough, or do I need more life, etc.

Here is my inventory, please take a look and tell me what you think (if you have the time of course).



Right now I am having 4280 hp and 7108 mana (6621 after reservation). Your reply will be much appreciated!

Personally, I wouldn't. If the fire as extra chaos were a good life or mana or spell damage prefix, I'd totally be all for it. But in my opinion, you'll be shorting yourself on core stats with only 4 useful affixes (2 of them crafted) on the end result.

That's great, you could definitely end up with something comparably good. How did you get that base? Tons of alts?

Skyforth...hmmm... I've also used it on a LL heiro build (SB) to great effect; the stun immunity lets you go with another major pantheon choice and it gives a fuck-ton of mana. I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out why I decided against it, since we really don't utilize life regen any way I can think, but I've got nothing. It's gotta be at least on par with Omeyocan in terms of utility, a great fit for this build. As long as I can find the resists elsewhere on my gear, I'm totally going to try running those.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

@banana Do you run soul of brine king? When I had around similar life and mana to you I noticed that I would get stun locked to death if I dont have this pantheon. Do you often find yourself run out of mana just before you die? Your chests barely gives and life and mana. Your profile is private so I dont know what Watcher Eye you're running. If you run the variation with %dmg taken to mana as well then it might be too much for your mana pool. %mana gained on block on your shield would pair well with these %dmg taken to mana mod. Otherwise you can just ignore it and stack up more mana.Here is my profile: https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/Elssa123/ZappyZappyZoop?i=9&search=class%3DNecromancer%26skill%3DArc
I can comfortably clear everything up to 60% delirious maps. Alas, I have 300+ deaths but I think my survivability is enough for me to do most contents.

With BL build I was able to go with this helm to cover resistance hole:

Granted it is shit, but you see what I am shooting for. Ultimately I would like the -# lightning resist to nearby enemies too. Took an 200pt hit in life but an increase in mana. Heiro ascendancie gives you an extra 10% MoM and Transfiguration of Mind.

BTW. Got lucky on the base. Had a few alts so I said what the hell. I mean I was desperate enough to spam 200c the day before. I got it with about 40 alts.
