Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Thank you Enki91 for the amazing guide, I'm learning and enjoying it a lot .

Hey thanks for this amazing guide.

Could anybody tell me, why I have so much trouble sustaining mana on
genericbullshit?
Last season I didnt have any Problems on my Necromancer.
Sure my gear isn´t that good yet but i can´t even sustain rightios fire let alone my Arc when fighting bosses.

Necro had better mana sustain because of the Essence Glutton + Desecrate + Kitava's Teachings engine. It requires more attention this league. Make sure you have the Tempered Mind and Pure Talent jewels in your tree per the guide's instructions (the former won't work without proper placement and passive allocation--you'll have to adjust yours) and also that you are regularly hitting with Wave of Conviction to keep up the mana regen granted by Mastermind of Discord (i.e. trigger wand). Also, the correct boot enchantment helps a ton here.

Other things that will help a lot when you can afford them: Cloak of Defiance, 20% quality on amulet, and a belt/Watcher's Eye with increased mana recovery rate.

All that will help tremendously. But realistically, you can't expect mana recovery will ever be as good with an elementalist as it was with the necromancer.

Anyone got any advice where I should upgrade next? Or where I should be going in skill tree? Should I grab vengeful commander for my Wrath? my Cluster jewel has it already, just need to move a couple skills to get it.

I notice some of you aren't taking the lightning nodes at the top of the tree, is the dmg not worth it? Points better off elsewhere?

Is Tempered mind really worth it? By my count it gives 15% increased mana recovery, but I currently have a rare jewel in that slot that gives 15% mana regen rate as well as 10% increased max mana. Maybe I'm missing something? Is mana recovery from tempered mind different than mana regen rate? My listed regen numbers in tool tip go down with tempered mind, but I must be mistaken somehow

Thanks!

Yep you should! Once your mana regen is good enough. It's huge for survivability

How much mana regen should I be looking at before I take the Agnostic?

Hrm..... I've been running with Shroud of the Lightless, and my PoB dps was at about 2 mil. Just bought a 5L Cloak of Defiance, and that brings me down to less than 1.4 mil. PoB says my mana regen is now 1342, while it was 1065 with the Shroud. with both, life is about 3.7k and mana is 5.5k. My resists are not yet capped, so the 10% Lightning from Shroud is helpful.

My passive tree is full except for getting the Cluster Jewels, so for awhile, I don't think I need Cloak's MoM freebie.

Should I just stash the Cloak while waiting for enough fusings to go for a 6L, sell it, or use it?

Edit: I should note that I also have a 6L rare... with that I do 1.9 mil DPS, mana regen is 1043, life and mana are 3.6k and 5.4k.

I'm on lvl 90 clusters jewel tree. I don't have Transcendent Mind, so I put Tempered Mind instead, also don't have the currency to buy Watcher's Eye, so I put a regular Cobalt jewel (12% increased spell dmg + %7 to maximum life).
Should I run it like this till I have the currency to buy the right jewels, or is there better nodes to pick?

Thanks in advance.

For starters, you would upgrade the Tempered Mind to acquire the Transcendant Mind. However, I don't think we gain anything from doing that, and we should stick with Tempered Mind. So don't sweat the Chaos on that one.

Yes, go ahead and use your rare jewel if that's what you have, for it's better than leaving the hole empty.

Edit: Transcendent Mind can give us a small extra squeeze of mana recovery. Not worth buying one, IMHO. Just wait to upgrade the Tempred to get it.

Thank you. I still have refund points should I refund the node occupied by Cobalt jewel and the 10 Int node adjacent to it and pick something else? I die a lot, so it will be a long time for me to progress (leveling wise)

Well, I can't see your tree or gear, because you haven't made your character public....
