Enki's Arc Witch - dead for now

Hello,

A big thanks to RealiZe who really helped me with the multimod craft !
Love !


I have a question, does "x% increased damage while leeching" affect us with this build ?

I got this on an pretty cheap amulet but I am wondering if it is worth.

Thanks you !

@IUnewind and @ScaryAthiest

Sorry bout the mean comments, but they are experts so ignore tone and absolutely take their advice abt both where you may deviate from base spec and getting a nice spire link.

Spire helps a ton because it does a lot more damage to bosses and syndicate groups than arc, and you can focus on dodging while it does so (jump, zap, jump zap) - those boss abilities that take 3 seconds to charge up and hit you are intended to be dodged - or they would just hit immediately.

FYI - for spire you can get an powerful 6 link in either glove or helm by searching for socketed gems supported by specific useful effects (these are cheap and common too) if you don't have a good item in that slot already:

(gloves are better as fast cast support gives universal cast speed which is one of our best stats to get across the board)
http://poe.trade/search/otedanasiganoh

One thing neither mentioned that should help a lot with Syndicate (and some other bosses) is chaos resist. Neither of you has the purity of flesh ring - trade 5% health passives for 4% health and chaos resist and don;t be shy about grabbing it when available on gear.

Also if you don't have 45% of the mana unreserved that you have health (which Enki explains is important part of surviving big hits), consider going for the jewel socket above the big health ring that has 8% manas before it... and if you have ANY mana reserved consider NOT.

Also curious to how you are running out of mana? Are you running mana leech with storm brand at all? If you swapped off mana leech, and you're running out of mana... maybe you should rethink going away from it.

Running scepters while not as optimal as a dagger, can definitely be done... I am still running scepters, and I have no issues killing shaper or elder (still working on progressing to uber elder atm). Like others have stated, you may need to get the glove setup if you're having problems dealing damage and dodging crap.

One final tip if you are running dry on mana - folks noted that the ring/amulet craft addon

% of Damage taken gained as Mana over 4 seconds

... is very powerful for mom builds, as when your mana soaks up damage, it soaks right back in to keep you from staying dry.

... but again if you are running dry often there is probably something significant wrong with your leech, dodging, or unreserved mana - so make sure you have wrath on for your watcher leech under wrath, and make sure you keep moving.

If you don't have a leech watcher yet (1.5ex but probably the first ex you spend) you should try cast on hit or cast on skill use warlord mark.

just got this gloves how do i incorporate this into the build ?

I'm not a fan of that mod at all. Leeching stops the moment you reach full health and when you're not at full health, you're usually busy repositioning out of harm's way. Plus, you don't wanna be taking damage in the first place with this build. It might be good for Slayers, but not for us, IMO.

It doesn't count mana leech?

Definitely swap culling in for leech in the green (already leeching), but otherwise I'd leave the build as is (ignore the crit mod), put spire in a hypothermia/Trap helm and definitely don't include enfeeble in your CWDT setup.

It does, but the problem is still there: with just Storm Brand damaging a target, I reach full mana before the next cast of Arc.

Hey guys.

I wanted to ask a question about increased effect of shock. How big of a difference does 10% actually make? To be completely honest i just dropped a watchers eye with increased lightning damage while affected by wrath, but it strangely feels weaker while clearing maps and delves, than the simple abyssal jewel i replaced that had flat added lightning damage and +10% effect of shock. I'm still kinda lost with those in-depth mechanics and i noticed effect of shock isn't taken into account in Path of Building. Any tips? Am i being crazy to think i actually deal less damage now?
