Both Anomalous Arc and Divergent Arc are valid options.
Divergent Arc will straight up increase the damage you do if you chain, while Anomalous Arc will make you chain more easily.

The choice depends on mob density (and on what you prefer).


Cool thx for the explanation. So does that mean in boss fights against one mob divergent doesn't do anything since arc doesn't chain?


In boss fights with only 1 enemy the quality effect of both Divergent and Anomalous Arc are useless.

The quality effect of Divergent is usefull when enemies are close enough together to chain, otherwise Anomalous is better.

Consider an ARC where are all hits do exactly 1000 damage and you have 200% increased damage on your tree/gear.

Say your normal quality Arc chains 7 times:

1st enemy hit: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^7 = 3192 damage
1st chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^6 = 2776 damage
2nd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^5 = 2414 damage
3rd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^4 = 2099 damage
4th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^3 = 1825 damage
5th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^2 = 1587 damage
6th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^1 = 1380 damage
7th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^0 = 1200 damage

Now look at Divergent Arc with 7 chains:

1st enemy hit: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^7 = 3192 damage
1st chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 10/100) * 1,15^6 = 2799 damage
2nd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 20/100) * 1,15^5 = 2454 damage
3rd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 30/100) * 1,15^4 = 2151 damage
4th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 40/100) * 1,15^3 = 1886 damage
5th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 50/100) * 1,15^2 = 1653 damage
6th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 60/100) * 1,15^1 = 1449 damage
7th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 70/100) * 1,15^0 = 1270 damage

The effect of Divergent Arc is the greatest on the last chain, so if you manage to chain 7 times with a Divergent Arc you'll deal 5.8% more damage compared to normal or Anomalous Arc (in this example!).

The effectiveness of Divergent Arc decreases the more %increased damage you have on your Arc.

Extra damage with chains are nice, but only if you manage to chain.
The problem will be to chain 7 times, and Anomalous Arc will make it easier to chain.

So, at the end of the day it's a choice based on what density of enemies you'll expect.


That's a lot of quality maths there my friend! :). I think I'll just level both regular and the anomalous i have to 20/20 and pray one of them hits 21/20 when I vaal it. Thanks again!

Yeah, if only I hadn't made a mistake :P
I fixed it in my post.

I miscalculated the %increased damage by a factor of 10, so the effect of Divergent Arc is actually much bigger than in my wrong calculation.

Hello
Can someone explain to me how you get the skill "focus" to use the craft that triggers with "focus". I don't understand if this comes naturally with the craft or if it takes the skill for the craft to decline.

thank you

Seem completely unable to down Maven's Invitation: The Twisted with this build. Just get one shot repeatedly lol.

Any advice I would be extremely grateful.

I suspect the build just isn't meant for end game content. But I hope I'm wrong.

Seem unable to directly link my character, but this is the characters link. Character is Shamsticles.

The build can clear all content, all though I haven't run too many 100% delirious maps yet.

Fix your flasks, in accordance with Enki's suggested suffixes.
Try to get more mana on stuff. It raises both our damage and our survivability?
Your left wand only has 20mana, gloves 15, abyss jewel none, boots none, ring 37, normal jewel no increased mana or life. And hows your mana regen?
I suspect a regular foible is better than the corrupted one, because you can still give it quality.
Fair points. I'll look at harvest crafting or buying pieces w/ more mana.

As for the foible, I thought the increased aura effect on wrath was pretty good. But I'll definitely compare without.

Really appreciate the advice :)

Hi!
What is the best way to craft the Golden kris dagger?
*Maximum Mana (tier >=3)
*Increased spell damage (tier >=2)
Without suffix, equal to Enki.

Yes, it's pretty good. If you can find one with quality and an annointment, I'd definitely recommend using it if you have enough mana regen! But losing both the quality and annointment for the aura is a bit of a steep cost. (Forgot mentioning the annoint in my previous post.)

@Nico,
I'd recommend you to find a better weapon first. Your dagger is servicable for a while as it is, but I'd not spend anything major on it I think.

This build can absolutely do endgame content if you invest in it and learn the mechanics. I've got 7.5m DPS with this build and had no trouble doing the Twisted deathless. I did the Formed with 1 death (totally my fault, got hit with a Phoenix nova because I wasn't paying attention), and it was also pretty easy.

I will say I got absolutely bopped doing the Hidden, took me like 5 portals. I have a lot less experience with breachlords and was NOT expecting them to be level 83, so I'm pretty sure I could still manage it deathless with some practice. (Last league's necro version would have been better for sure.) Still have yet to do the Forgotten (not too worried), the Feared (somewhat worried), or the Maven herself (no idea what to expect).

Edit: sorry, you were looking for advice and I totally didn't give any, lol. Dreagation is right on, make his changes and report back. The best advice I can give at the moment is to learn the fight mechanics if you haven't. The guardians are all really dangerous if you let them hit you, but it's relatively easy to avoid most of the stuff that would 1-shot you. If you're not playing with the sound up, I highly recommend you do, as there are lots of aural cues that can help you with offscreen bosses.
