Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

Can someone take a look at my gear and tell me what my next step is? I have ~160c.

I made my character public. I've been following the "What to upgrade next" guide but I'm still a bit lost.

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling on T13 maps atm (bosses and monsters that explodes in spikes when they die, they send projectiles). I don't think my gear is that bad, but I need some advice on what I'm doing wrong, I'm fairly new.

Here's my PoB : https://pastebin.com/Rfry7M3B

Thank you

Consider:
- adding spire trap on bosses (best in gloves but very big even as a 4 link)
- Getting the Purity of Flesh passives for life+Chaos resist (huge vs synd)
- Going daggers for better dodging (and keep moving all the time)
- Jewels - you are short life, shock effect, clear mind, and Eye of Watcher


(Mana leech on Wrath Eye is down to 1.5 ex now - just got one myself, now I can retire my Warlord Mark cast on skill use setup for mana regen, and consider getting some real dmg weapons... in the meantime Conductivity or Enfeeble :)

Can you explain why spire trap works best in gloves and not for example boots?

Also, is it worth dumping CWDT+Enfeeble+Increased Area of Effect for Spire Trap+Trap and mine damage+elemental focus+controlled destruction?

Because you can get shaped gloves with "Socketed gems are supported by level # Advanced Traps" and swap that support for a Controlled Destruction.

Example:
(The ones I have aren't great, but you get the picture)

I’ve been tinkering around on the wiki as I’m wont to do when I have nothing to do at work and ran across a couple unique amulets. Aul’s Uprising with Wrath (extremely expensive) would allow us to not use an Essence Ring or add an additional aura without reservation.

The Primordial Chain would offer a large dps boost at the cost of all defensive stats (75% increased damage, 6-7% increased attack/cast speed, and the option of adding an ice golem for 67% increased crit. I wouldn’t recommend this late game, but for early mapping it’s relatively cheap for the damage. It may become worth it if adding The Anima Stone and Primordial Eminence. The amulet and 2 jewel combination would grant 7 total golems and an additional 30 % Golem aura buff on top of what Liege of the Primordial grants. I suppose I cannot gaurantee multiple golems of the same type count. Also, looks as if Primordial Eminence can stack (source of 30% Golem aura buff). With enough it might even be worth it to add in earth and chaos golems for the buff (would die much faster due to no elemental immunity).

I’ll need to wit till I can access PoB to test this further. Any thoughts?

I would look at some new daggers first, but I am still very much a noob.

Also available in gloves (but not boots) - Socketed gems supported by Fast casting (comes with a nice casting boost for all spells)

Buy yourself a nice pseudo 6 link skill that stacks with every inch of your passives and other gear for a handful of chaos (Ok, no leech, but still).

At least a dozen times I've walked my dumb but into too many boss attacks, and just waited a few more seconds before hitting the res button to watch my traps finish killing the boss.

I'm a squishy noob, but I look forward to syndicate on maps, I've got them all trusted up so I get 2-3 usually, and I just drop a couple traps and whirl in circles for 10 seconds or so.

There's an argument for that I suppose, but depending on the encounter you could proc it, phase the boss after 2 seconds, and then have subpar dps until the next proc. In a stand-and-spam scenario, you have a 25% uptime on double damage (average 4.5%).


This all becomes somewhat mitigated when you start stacking buffs. So if going with double damage when focused, I would highly recommend swapping out Cold Snap for Vaal Haste and grabbing "Non-Vaal Skills deal (51-60)% increased Damage during Soul Gain Prevention" craft on boots/gloves. You'll still run into phasing issues but for at least 4s a fight, this combination will drastically improve your dps.

Okay so my point is when you're sufficiently geared, you don't lack dps. I kill things off screen most of the time. And the syndicate encounters with 4 in there at captain level in an elder T16 map dies within 5-6 seconds with 3 well placed traps and you slamming it.

There is almost never a fight results in me standing there hitting for more than a couple seconds. If you do uber elder and other bosses I'm sure it's different. But just grinding T16's focus DD is vastly superior imo.

New daggers, 6 linking your chest, then also getting X cold damage to spells in order to use your Hypothermia gem (currently it serves no purpose since it's not linked and/or you don't have cold damage).
