The drain from Blood Rage pales in comparison to RF or Omeyocan, I guarantee you won't even notice it with Agnostic and strong mana recovery. You can put it anywhere, really: trigger, cwdt, even self-cast.

Storm Brand absolutely hits--both guaranteed and frequently. That's why it's so perfect for EO/Hextouch/Culling Strike. I think I'm going to just bite the bullet tonight and buy an Unnerve/CS cluster jewel so I can finally put Elemental Weakness in my SB setup and be done throwing my alts away. (You may have been thinking of Wintertide/Penance/Arcanist brand, as those do not hit the enemy they're branded to.)

Yes, but Blood Rage will only be a debuff on boss fights with nothing to add.

I'll probably go for Culling Strike with Storm Brand (or whatever fits good).
I got 3 Megalomaniacs atm (2 equiped and 1 linked in previous post) and would like to drop the one with the Culling Strike for the one linked since it has way better notables.

Yes, Blood Rage is useless in boss fights without adds...until you get your hands on the Anomalous version! I probably won't add it to my build until I've found one of those. Once mapping damage is as high as ours, the regular version really isn't that important for clearing. Big exception: delirious maps.

Noticed a lot of the top dps arc players are using Pledge of Hands 6L.

Eg. https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds?class=Elementalist&skill=Arc&sort=dps

Is this a valid option instead of the two wands? As it feels like we'd lose a lot of functionality (trigger socketed spell / double focus dmg).

Penny for thy thoughts

My buddy said it was fine when he put spell echo in it. Until he did that it was unplayable. As far as high-end meta usage, I'll yield to someone who knows more about the specifics of this build than I.

You can easily buy one and get two blue sockets on it to put in arc and spell echo. Try it out to see how it feels, if you don't mind the playstyle you can start a new witch or respec to make it work best. I can assure you that it is quite different then what you are playing now - move, stand and cast 4 times, move, cast, and on it goes. It feels very clunky but a full glass cannon crit build can put out the DPS, just expect to get one shot on a very regular basis. I like mapping with my Necro, I just run around blowing almost everything up and not dying often at all. The big issue is the low DPS in boss fights. My intent is to swap back and forth depending on what is needed.

nice build!

Thanks everybody for your great tips! I changed a lot around in my build. Can you give me some more pointers what I should change for more damange and better mana reg?

Upgrade your 'Bramble Spell' wand; 3 of the mods are worthless and 1 of them (added fire damage) can screw up your exposure from Wave of Conviction.

Faster caster support linked to Clarity and Vitality has no effect.
I assume you're using the slot to lvl the gem, but then you're better off lvling a copy of the support gems you actually use in your 6-link to corrupt them for a lvl 21 version.

You are losing alot of damage by not having quality on gems and not having lvl 20 or 21 versions.
I'll also assume here that you are still in the proces to get them, but this will hold you back for higher tier maps until then.

Use Fertile Catalysts on your amulet; rights now you increase defence values, which you don't have on your amulet.
You need to increase life/mana values.

Try to get better gloves with +mana.

Get the 70% mana regen enchant on your boots.

Get a better belt; any mods that have 'to attacks' in the description don't apply to spells, so they are useless here.
If you have the currency, try to get a belt with %increased mana recovery (Shaper or Redeemer).
This will greatly increase your mana regen.

Place your tempered mind in the jewel socket between the Witch and Templar starts; it will have better effect there.

Start to go for a large cluster jewel; they increase your dps by a lot.

Try to replace your Survival Secrets and Assassin's Haste jewels with rare ones that have decent mods.

If you have the currency, try to swap one jewel to The Anima Stone for 5 golems. You can run a Lightning golem for more cast speed + they will all buff eachother and you even more due to your Ascendancy.

Try to get the 'Corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you' implicit mod on a jewel; it will greatly help dealing with Sirus + avoiding deaths by corrupted blood bleeds.

If you still have currency left you can also buy a Watcher's Eye with %increased mana recovery when using Clariy.
This will also greatly increase your mana regen, but they aren't cheap so see this one as an extra goal.

Your character tab is set to private, so I can't check it out.

But try to read back in this thread, since there are a lot of people who ask these kind of questions and usually we tell them the same things.
Check if you don't have the same problems in your setup or the same room for improvement, and if still needed we can check if you have any other issues in your setup.

Hi!
Weapons in the guide have "increased global critial strike" or "increased spell damage" implicits. But Enki is using "Gain an endurance, frenzy or power charge every 6 sec".
Why?
What is the best?

Thank you

I never realized this issue, I have cold dmg on my main wand. I have a "remove cold" harvest mod, so maybe I should do that?



Can I find a harvest mod to add lightning damage or something else? or should I just save up for a different wand?

Thanks!
