Hey everybody,
have been running this build and I thought I did great, but I am unable to finish the last labyrinth, since I die rather quickly and don't make enough damage. Can you take a look at my build and give me some pointers? Highly appreciated! https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/superaidsman/characters Last edited by Superaidsman on Feb 8, 2021, 4:17:40 AM

" Some things that stand out immediatly are your wands have basically no % increased spell/lightning damage. The build scales pretty well with those, since we add a lot of flat lightning damage. You can probably upgrade them fairly easily, especially your first wand as it also offers no mana. (If you use it for the trigger a socketed skill craft, you can probably ask someone here to craft it for you on a better wand you've found. You can pm me for it: @Dreagation_VI in game). If you've been struggling with 5linking your Cloak of Defiance, you could consider a jeweller's touch. You'll have to drop the 6 sockets via the crafting bench initially, but a 5link will boost your damage a lot as well. A lot of your rares offer basically no life or mana. Your ring is pretty servicable, but craft life on there instead of the attack skills. (That craft doesn't work for us, because we use spells not attack skills) Try to replace your boots/gloves/belt with ones with decent life+mana while keeping your elemental resistances capped. If you need more mana regen/recovery, consider getting a tempered mind and swap your watcher's eye for one with increased recovery rate for mana while affected by clarity. I think that should give you enough to work with for a while. :P Edit: Oh, and try to get your flasks to the ones Enki suggests. Last edited by Dreagation on Feb 8, 2021, 5:52:05 AM

" Try to upgrade your main hand wand to something that has at least 100 mana and either % increased spell power/% increased lightning damage. Cast speed, +gem lvl, ... are nice bonusses but start with zt least those 2. Your off-hand wand is better, but that added cold damage for spells worries me. Be careful that you don't change your exposure from WoC to cold. Change the quality on your amulet to life/mana modifiers. Increasing defence modifiers does nothing for us. Either buy a 6-link Cloak of Defiance (or a decent rare 6-link). If you don't have the currency for a 6-link, buy the prophecy for a 5-link when you use a jewellers orb. Divine you Cloak of Defiance for a higher mana roll. Your crafted 'Increased elemental damage with attacks' on your ring does nothing, since we use spells. Change it to something '+ life'. Your crafted '+ Energy Shield' on your gloves is not useful in this build. Change it either to '+ life' or '+ mana'. Try to get more '+ life' and '+ mana' on your boots, gloves and belt. Try to change a jewel to a Tempered Mind. Orb of Storms ain't that great, so drop that one when you adapt your Arc to a 5/6 link setup. Get a 'Bubbling' modifier on your life flask and beastcraft 'Of Staunching' on it. Get a 'Enduring/Concentrated' modifier (depening on your mana needs) on your mana flask and beastcraft 'of Curing' on it. These changes will get you started. After that you can do 100+ other things to further upgrade everything, but the prices will be higher for those upgrades. Last edited by Reechaani on Feb 8, 2021, 6:00:06 AM

Thank you both for the great feedback!
What should I use instead of Orb of Storms? And can't I just 6-link my Arc of Defiance myself with Orb of Fusing? |

Hi, I'm currently using this build and for the first time I'm delving into higher end game content.
I was just wondering if there's another lightning skill I can replace arc with for when I arrive at the boss? I was thinking about swapping it with a stronger lightning gem but not sure if it'd work well with this build. I'm still kind of a noob. | |
" You can 6-link it yourself, but the avarage number of tries is around 1500. Quality increases the chance for a 6-link, but not by that much. There have been times Iv'e 6-linked an item in <500 tries, but if you're unlucky it can end up being well over 2000... | |
" Arc should be pretty decent at bossing since you get 15% more damage to Arc per remaining chain. Since usually you don't chain at bosses, that means that the dps from Arc will be pretty high. There are other builds with about the same setup that use Ball Lightning, but you'll need other support gems for that. You could try to do the math with Crackling Lance, ... but I'm pretty happy with the good clear and decent boss dps that Arc provides. | |

Hey,
i‘m trying to get my arc witch stonger and thought about double hex. when i put it in pob only one method seems to work. Trigger assassins mark on ring and awakened hextouch+storm brand+conductivity. If i go conductivity on ring and proc assassins mark with storm brand it shows no improvement. Is that a bug in pob or am i missing something?
