[3.13 / 3.14] Transitioning Enki's Arc Witch into a 50M+ DPS Boss Killer

this might be an unpopular take but unless you can invest in the awakened gems namely spell echo and hextouch along with bottled faith, I wouldn't try to push this build to 95 plus, the difference with and without those is massive in both mapping and boss speed.

You don't have anything increasing your curse limit that I can see, but have 3 curses, so they're overwriting each other.

Guard Skill Cooldown Recovery significantly reduces Arcane Cloak down time.

And take Devotion and Purity of Flesh for more HP

Would anyone know why my crit chance is so low? Even with a bottled faith and the other crit medium cluster jewel, I don't see how my crit increases that much more.

Awakened Spell Echo, or other increases in cast speed, as very much needed for mapping to not be miserable both in playability and in not dying a lot.

Awakened Hextouch level 5 is also very much needed to get good boss damage through the ability to curse with Conductivity and Elemental Weakness. A ring with Assassin's Mark and anointing Whispers of Doom on the amulet are also a big boost. I also like a Master of Fear and Wish for Death medium cluster to get unnerve applied and culling strike against cursed enemies.

Bottled Faith certainly helps but I don't think it is mandatory. I am currently at level 95 and here is my flask setup - I think it works fairly well. I will eventually get a BF and replace the Atziri's promise with it but I have only seen one Cortex map this league and I didn't get the drop.

So can someone tell me how this build is for ultimatum.
I got 150ex to make it shine but i had the experience in week 2 that archmage sucks for this league. May also be me not having enough currency at that point but i wanted to at least hear some opinions of players, that have played this build or something similar atm :)

Kind regards.

Depends on the map mods. I can alch and go t14 and complete almost all ultimatums without issue. T15 and I have to be more careful, T16 and the failure rate goes up. I was having a lot more trouble but I got a belt with an evasion enchant and a jewel with phasing and that helps me keep moving and not locked in place for any longer than it takes to cast.

These two things really helped me with issues of dying when surrounded.

i went with doryani to help improve survivability in ultimatums. im also using hydrosphere to apply curses. run from one side of the circle to the other and drag hydro across, everything gets cursed. i dont know if ive set up pob correctly, but i believe im at 45mil dps without vrf, 53mil with (58mil culling dps). i wont be upgrading this char any more as im doing everything easily, ultis, the feared aw9 alched, maven uber atziri, the formed takes 20 seconds to kill all 4 bosses etc etc

im not using supreme ego because i couldnt get my mana regen high enough without clarity. maybe i will try and sort that out.

In what situations are you dying? I don't see any immunity to corrupted blood which might be your issue since you don't have a staunching flask.

I am dying in every other ultimatum, random 1 shots from anything very often too... hard to know, everything is killing me xD
