Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Hi,
Can anyone explain me why we should use trinity support?
I don’t get it.

Greetings
Brotherhood ring gives ur 40% of our lightning dmg as cold, and trinity turns it back into lightning and it gives us alot of dps

Having only one character at 50 level Iam wandering why ARC is superrior over VAAL ARC, or if I should switch it if that one luckily drops. Can you explain please?


Well Vaal Arc gem is superior to normal Arc gem-if they are both same level/quality, as Vaal Arc gem give you both Arc and Vaal Arc skill.

Arc skill will be your bread and butter skill, while Vaal Arc is situational and needs to be charged by killing mobs (very satisfying in Blight/Legion encounters)

BUT

Getting Vaal arc gem with level 21 and quality 23 is more difficult and/or expensive compared to normal Arc gem 21/23 (e.g. in standard league it is 3ex vs 2ex, in runnning leagues the difference is usually bigger). The potentially best is Anomalous Arc, but that one is running in standard for 8 ex for 20/20 which is worse than normal Arc 21/23.

So all in all, you should aim for 21/0>21/20>21/23>21/23 Vaal>21/20 Anomalous>21/23 Anomalous

TLDR: Vaal arc gem is better, but vaal effect is more situational, so not an necessary update.


Isn't chance to shock completely worthless, meaning quality is irrelevant unless it is anomalous? Also with Vaal arc (if you have 21 lvl ofc) it is easier to reach lvl 26 in the endgame as you can get + vaal skills on corrupted chest.

My questions are how is EO vs Crit looking right now and if it is worth going for lvl 26 arc? (empower in links mostly). In endgame of the endgame it is actually possible to get lvl 31 with the new SoJ neck xD


aaand you are of course right, doozed out and forgot this is now crit build for some time :)

I'm still confused how this works. With a 60:40 or 52:48 lightning to cold split, we still will always hit with lightning as highest damage and never gain lightning resonance. Am I not understanding how this is supposed to function?

My understanding with Trinity is you need the two elements to have separate numeric rolls so that sometimes one element is highest and sometimes the other. Unless it's supposed to come from jewels,, I don't see any source of flat cold damage.
Thanks again, Enki!
Maybe dumb question, but!

Could we use Lightning Warp instead of flame dash?

Unless you want it for the aesthetics or the rare time the extra range is needed, you'll likely regret it. Lightning Warp is a horrible movement skill. You cast, wait the duration it would take to move there (affected by skill effect duration), then teleport to the location. If that were it, it would be clunky but fine. Once you start introducing the queue mechanic, you might teleport to the same location multiple times in a row.

Hey can you explain that queue mechanic, because happening to me very often when i use any movement skill... ported back to location and die often due this shit...

Yes, you can, but very quickly you want to use faster casting and another gem that reduces duration for you, cause it might work nicely as a travel gem, it does not work as PANIC! movement.

So you use more gem slots. Which is always at a premium.
