Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

I tried clicking on the browser version of PoB and it opened blank. I also can't import from pastebin using the browser version. Am I doing something wrong?

Hopefully someone can answer this, cause I'm a bit confused. Would Shaper of Storms (new ascendancy node) be a contender for higher DPS, if you linked a different support gem other than elemental focus?

Are the other ascendancy nodes (other than golem ones) better than this option?

Actually, you don't even have to remove Elemental Focus. Because of the node applying to *all* of your spells, you can shock with Orb of Storms or Wave of Conviction something instead and it'll be almost equally effective. So yes, it totally is worth it if you care more about offense than defense.

I tried to compare the defensive side of the build to the 3.12 pob one and it lost:

- around 1k mana (some of it lost to nerfs in the old build too)
- 30%+ attack and spell block
- The Agnostic notable (?)

and gained:

- 500+ life regen
- 14% phys reduction

If I missed something let me know, but isn't this gonna hurt the overall experience, keeping in mind the new "endgame" inside Maven's domain aka fighting a horde of bosses in a closet, to the point it's still worth considering the old necro build as a safer, less glass cannon version?

Also I don't know yet the specifics but I guess The Agnostic was left out because of mana regen issues?

You also have a 10% mind over matter extra from the cloak of defiance, the radius of sigil of power wich is increased with 60% and in the arena multiple bosses will inside which is anothe damage reduction and teh biggest upside is the damage scaling wich the necro version lacks a lot.
How safer is the encro build couldnt say but take in consideration against 10 bosses, longer the fight harder will get to survive as well ,with this evrsion with so much damage pen ,damage scaling and still decent defense find it much apropriate for the new league.
Dont forget you can respec anytime on teh encro version , passive tree is 90% same only small differences.

I wish it was possible to make this build be able to kill end game bosses. That's the only thing keeping me from playing it. I mean map clearing is fine, but end game boss killing is really what's required with the atlas change...
Otherwise it's the best build guide on path of exile....

When looking at Tempered Mind that is the cheap version. You get 14% increased recovery. Upgrading that to Transcendent Mind brings it up to 19% recovery, and with a couple points invested toward Templar 24%. Add one more passive and you get 5% elemental penetration if Pure Talent socketed.

I can't see trees on my tablet, so I'm not entirely sure where Enki specked.

Uhh... I've had no trouble killing Shaper and A5 Sirus on 10ex budget in Heist with Enki's Arc Necromancer build. I'm pretty confident I would've killed A8 Sirus if I played more and didn't suck as much.
Yeah, sure, you won't be able to delete bosses in seconds, but it doesn't mean you can't kill them.

Oh, for anyone concerned about the ability of Arc to clear 10 bosses, it's going to blow them away. Our calculated dps is assuming 0 chains, but it skyrockets in crowds allowing it chains to proc. I think it's 3+ mobs allows for the hit I chain back to the initial target.

I don't think an arc can chain its way back to its original target.

"Arc cannot chain back to the same target immediately, and must bounce one more time before chaining to the previous target. Because Arc also forks with each bounce, it requires 4 grouped enemies to bounce back to the original."

That's true, and it's good and all. Chaining back to mobs already hit could be strong potentially stronger than a regular AOE skill. I am more concerned about surviving in an arena woth 10 bosses present all doing deadly abilities at the same time while I have to stand in place to do damage. But I guess we will see - and maybe if those fight turn out to be a hit n run we could benefit from an unleash gem swap in.

I will probably start the league with arc elementalist unless I stumble into something else. Not because it looks like a particularly good league starter, but because I like arc as a skill too much - and finally no corpse effects so maybe I wont lag as much as in harvest. The only problem is that half the player base will play some sort of archmage build so good luck buying the required uniques. =)
