Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

Hi there!

Big noob here trying to follow your guide. I have to say it's the most comprehensive well-written guide I've seen in probably any game, especially with the help of path of building. :)

I'm a bit confused regarding the weapon setup I should aim for. If I understood correctly, I should ideally dual-wield scepters or daggers? I'm still running around with the +1 Lightning Gem Wand I crafted in Act 1 and a shield...

Thanks in advance :)

Leap Slam (maces) and Whirlling Blades (daggers) are both attack skills. Attack skills require both weapons to be compatible with the skill in order to use, so yes, either 2 of one or 2 of the other, but not 1 of each.

If you have 1 weapon and a shield, both skills are still usable with the added choice of Shield Charge. While using wands, you are limited to only movement spells: Flame Dash and Lightning Warp (all spells are comparable with any weapon).

Hello mate!

Awesome guide you got there!

Do you think i can play BHC with your build?

If no, there's any change i could do to be able to play?

Thank you a lot!

Both Wrath ones are vastly superior to Clarity. The only Clarity one worth mentioning is #% damage taken from mana due to it being defensive in nature. Otherwise you’re best off dropping Clarity altogether once you have Watcher’s Eye.

Thank you very much! I noticed that many opted for dagger-based weapons with crit chance, why are they better than sceptre if Elemental Overload perk is taken?

Thanks so much for your quick reply, it's clear now! :)
Only thing I didn't get was the last part in the parentheses about "(all spells are comparable with any weapon)"!

Daggers allow for Whirlling Blades which is a superior movement skill to Leap Slam.

Should say “compatible,” not “comparable”...darn auto correct.

Certainly, though you would focus more on defenses and such. Your biggest change would be to not suck like me. I die a lot.

Gotcha, thanks again mate ;)

Started playing again a few weeks ago after a couple of years off and stuck with this guide (which is awesome btw) but it seems like I've hit somewhat of a roadblock. I cant seem to figure out why I am lacking so much damage. I've been sitting and comparing my character with Enki's in Path of Building for the past few hours without really understanding why my damage is so low so I'm turning to you guys and hoping you will know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm currently in the process of buying some new gear so the resists might be a little high or low so bear that in mind, it will be better when it's finished :)

Here is the Path of building pastebin: https://pastebin.com/itdwvm0a

Edit: Alright so I just found out that I hadn't enabled Chill and shocked enemy which makes the damage difference not too bad, but any tips is appreciated :)

Hello, really enjoying this build so far. https://pastebin.com/d7AM4XYk can anyone give me some tips about upgrading this build? cheers

This build. Fucking amazing. You did such an outstanding job w/ the guide. Coming from Diablo I was mind blown at seeing such a massive passive tree w/ no idea how to maximize myself. In seeking a nice guide and way to learn the game I came to a few dead ends and turn arounds. Finally coming across this guide I decided to commit myself and see where it gets me. The wonders of explaining in depth what I should be doing and striving for are a huge help. Thanks for putting the time and effort you did into this.
