Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

With a couple easy tweaks I'm pushing this build to close to 5 million arc dps. Still trying to make a double corrupt 30% quality annihilation staff but all I get is white sockets at best :<

basically the tweak is a lvl 4 enlighten and adding herald of thunder while manually casting molten shell. Also conductivity on hit is HUUUUUUUUGE!!!! Tbh it should have been a mandatory upgrade for the more expensives list.

EDIT: I also disagree on divergent arc being the call. I crafted a 21/20 Vaal Arc early on in the league and for mapping it's clearly the superior choice for an upgrade, especially if you're doing Legion farming.

This is having a real rough time in delve in spite of doing red maps with relative ease

Sorry if this has been asked before, but wondering about Early Map gear choices. Specifically, the guide recommends Agnerod West. In POB, if I have dual Singularity Sceptres, the DPS looks significantly higher. Is that the actual case, or am I missing something that makes Agnerod West better? Thank you!

Hello,ive wanted to try this build out since i started with another crit Arc variant with Void Battery,and im just curious if its possible to play this crit based,since i invested quite alot in crit multi obviously i cannot take elemental overload then,any thoughts?

Hi. Im very lame at POE. I start this build and it was amazing before high level maps, when i need to take The Annihilating Light. Also i spoiled my armor (trying to make 6 links). Im dying every second.
Can you give me trade links to wear (jewerly and hat/boots/gloves too), just for example (up to 1 divine orb). Its hard to me searching (i don`t know nothing about all this stuff).
Also i buy good big cluster (because it is well written in the manual), but i also need 2 small (if i understood right). Needs links too.
Thanks!

I spammed some Essences of Delerium on a helmet for the +2 to socketed aura skills. Genuinely asking: is this an upgrade to the recommended helmet in the guide?? I'm not the expert and may well be overlooking something (maybe over-leveling auras isn't worth whatever modifier I no longer have room for?). Thoughts?



For comparison, here's what I was wearing prior:



Note that I've been running the Lab for the extra arc hit but no luck; the Stone Golem buff is the best I've found so far (which adds about 100 hp, which isn't nothing).

Also, I want to +1 Messatsu's recommendation for 21/20 Vaal Arc. I feel noticeably stronger with it over the Divergent option.

I remember trying this build years ago, probably 10 leagues ago, before later making my own builds. Recently bought a PS5 (yay!) and fired up this game again while waiting for games I ordered to arrive. On PS5 (and PS4 too from what I found with searches), using flasks is really awkward. The two on the very left and right are okay, but the three in the middle are not, as I don't have a third hand for the D-pad. Any suggestions for how to deal with this? Is it required to have flasks up almost 100% in the later parts of the game? Or early too for that matter.

Am just bumbling around as most things have been forgotten, so am ofc overlevelled, but that's just how it goes for people who don't know all the maps like the back of you hand and can run past everything not a checkpoint or a boss (more or less). Speaking of, it would be really handy with more information about items to use/get by with, as I doubt spending currency on changing links and such is worth it on such low level gear. Seem to recall that this guide had more info about such matter in the past? It's cool with lots of info and detailed builds for the few people (relatively speaking) that get to high level maps or whatever, but it would also be cool with more info for the plebs of us just getting our feet wet (again) :)

All the various recipes and stuff is hard to get on top of for example, especially with only the four stash tabs. Sadly it doesn't appear to be possible to use my old account on PS5, where I had bought extra tabs, including for currency and maps.

Anybody else trying this build (or similar) on PS5 (or 4) and how are you handling the flask issue?

This is my pob https://pobb.in/Pup8ClyGZXNO rn. Why does my galvanic field have such a low dps?

I just finished with this build. I have been playing for years but I never sat down and learned how to craft, I thought it was a jank system so I ignored it except for the most basic alt spam, regal, slam or essence. I finally broke down and wanted to learn how to do it this league and so I thought what better of a character than Enki's arc witch since the character plays itself.

Well let me just say, unless you are in SSF do not bother with crafting, the system is beyond jank. Just buy the gear, it is exponentially cheaper. I spent almost 3 times crafting it as I would have just buying it. I did it none the less because I had a goal but the only thing I really learned is that it is not worth it.

Spend time learning to generate currency and just use the market to upgrade your gear. It is faster and more cost efficient not to mention easy as heck with this build.

Finished the build happy to say that, I league start with this, and im back on this to min max it, already spend around 100 div min maxing the build, already build a COC Ice Nova/Spear and Ice Spear Totem, and still goes back to this build.

Been following enki's build since 3.14 and still the best guide for newbies and learning simple mechanics on this guide and giving good advice on/off stream.
