Leveling process was fine for me as well, the usual zap and move on for most of the time, but once I switched to MoM it changed drastically.
Hopefully this will improve with a lot bigger ES pool.

What about the sustain to stand still and spam cast issue that I've pointed out? I literally run out of mana(ES) after a couple of seconds of spamming Arc with high cast speed.. Perhaps there should be a treshhold for cast speed considering that energy leech gem is pretty weak (imo)..

Edit-double posted, sorry about that.

Minimum should be 1k ES, ideally you want 43% of your life pool as ES for MoM to properly work. Please try out Zealot's Oath and let me know if it fixes the issue.

It's better with Zealot's Oath when it comes to stand still and Arc spam indeed, thanks for that.
Guess I'll work on getting my ES up and hope it will get smoother with time.
Most deadly things atm are breaches with all the small projectile hits..

I think that I have a really good gem setup if anyone wants to check it out. I am using Whirling Blades and Imortal Call with CWDT. Dropped Fortify and Vaal Grace.

Thanks for the awesome build,
Using it as league starter and its really smooth.

Wanted to ask about skill duration nodes,
Do they interact with ARC in any way? or for another skill i am missing?

I am 57lvl at the moment and I have no issues with this build whatsoever.
I have taken MoM too early - about right at the start after I took EB, also I have taken Shaper of Desolation after the 1st lab, not Paragon of Calamity (did that before the guide update). And even with this - superfast clear speed no issues with ES, life or whatever.
I can cast arc not stop permanently and never run out of ES. So far this build is faster, than the previous 3.5 arc build by Enki.

I am complete noob - this is my 2nd league and I have not been above T7 maps so far. Maybe at later levels I will encounter some issues - but none so far.
Thanks for the guide, Enkie.

@Enki,

Thank you for a great guide, I'm playing it for a 2nd season!

I would suggest 1 tip for leveling part of this build: you may add information to keep some additional important gems to level up in second hand set - like Arc etc., as corruption is not 100% a 21 lvl gem. Or just for selling profit by heaving leveled gems.

I learned about it in a half of the last season - quite late.

How is survivability suppose to work in the build? I have almost 3k life and around 1200 ES. I have the eldritch battery and mind over matter. I have full resistances and Paragon of Calamity. I'm still getting one shot by some of the T2 Map Bosses.

Am I missing something? I'm at the part in the Act 3 guide where I just unlocked all gems for Siosa, the guide says to activate Wrath, Discipline and Blasphemy/Enfeeble but I cannot activate all three? Should this be done later when we have the nodes to reduce reserved mana costs?

Halp!

So i'm using elo's modified skill tree and thus cannot take zealots oath on tree, is replacing sulphur flask with sorrow of the divine a bad idea?

You wanna use Wrath and Discipline first and Enfeeble as cast skill, without Blasphemy. I’m lvl 63 just did few aqueduct runs and still only use these two. Go over that awesome leveling section, broken down by act, it tells you what gems to use at which progression point.


Side note

Thank you for this build, my first witch ever, having fun leveling it, hoping to stick to it this league to adleast 95-96.

I,m having the same problem. Clearing trash and stuff no prob but ganks by syndicate certain death. Certain breaches are rough and a lot of bosses rippy. I get chunked so fast!

Thanks very much for very detailed guide. Ran it to end game last league but already tired of dying in T1. 2 maps.
