Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

I highly recommend using Herald of Ice instead of Defiance banner (ideally fit it in later) once you get Call of the Brotherhood, it makes clearing so much better (and fun).

Instead of using CWDT Molten Shell just use it on left click and then you can also fit in frost bomb, which is huge for archnemesis mobs and some bosses with high regen.

Has anyone transitioned this build to an autobomber? How hard would it be?

How is the bossing DPS since 3.17?
Also, is this HC viable?

Thanks!

For single target is there any ignite variation of this build?

Are there any gem lvl limits? Having some troubles with mana %, currently stopped lvling clarity

Looks like you have no items with mana. I got through the acts with shitty rares and had 0 issues with clarity leveling.

Was a fun build for campaign, shredded all 10 acts so easily compared to past leagues, having some problems scaling up now though.

Is there anything specific we should be doing for tankiness cuz my gear isn't the best but its not horrible either and some red maps just delete me especially if they have any juice like beyond/harbys on them, even if I had another 2k hp I feel like id still get 1 shot.

Also feel like I'm lacking damage pretty heavily compared to some other starters ive done, takes me forever to kill some bosses and beyond mobs etc and some archnem mobs with regen or any tankiness are almost unkillable

I dont know if this build is just on the lower end of the starter scale in general or if I'm doin something wrong lol I have a few exalt into my gear already and I feel like that shoulda been enough to start slapping through red maps

Look at the upgrade order guide in the Gearing section. Make sure your gear meets the minimum requirements in each section.

Your shield has no life.

Your boots have 24 life

Your rare ring has 29 life

Your belt has 50 life (get a stygian vice with an abyss jewel w/ more life).

Your jewels don't have life.

Your flasks aren't qualitied/rolled correctly.


All these things add up. You're probably dying because you have low HP for red maps. It's great that you spent currency to buy gear with all the offensive stats you need, but you did it at the cost of life. Without life you're dead. When you're dead, it doesn't matter how many offensive stats you have.

You're better off incrementally upgrading your gear as Enki outlines in the guide so you can survive and balance output with defense.

Glass cannon doesn't work in POE, as you've found out.


Your gems aren't even 20/20 yet.

You don't have 21 Arc.

and so on....


Your build has lots of room to grow. Take a closer look at the upgrade path and you'll die less. You'll smooth out some thing

I must say, it's really nice to play arc again after a looooong break. Made a small detour for more crit and opted for wrath instead of determination, the logic being my defense is already made of paper and my combat plan is kill them first. Well that, and i managed to get a nice cluster with doryani's, snowstorm and Scintillating idea. All-in-all a great, easy to understand guide.
Also manage to get this absolute steal for 4 ex including chromes:

For the trees with Thread of Hope, can you still have all the auras? I notice the node which makes clarity have 100% reservation efficiency isn't taken anymore so not sure how that works out.
