Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

@Hippozzz: Probably got some unlucky crits there. Can't really see anything that urgently needs to be replaced, only thing you could do is put mana mastercraft on gloves and boots and farm a better boot enchant. If you didn't already, also upgrade your Pantheon powers.

@stevilg: Your gear is kinda all over the place, and your gem- and flask setup are suboptimal. Only thing worth keeping are Singularity, Essence Worm and maybe your shields and boots, the rest has to be replaced and updated to what's listed in this guide.

@bullitt840814: Looks like you've went way off this build. While I do appreciate people trying things for themselves, it's often what causes issues and in this case has nothing to do with this build anymore. Same as above, you gotta switch to the proper gem- and flask setup, fix your passive tree and update almost all gear pieces to what's recommend in gear section.

@aka_Celador: Main issue is your passive tree. You're missing lots of life and mana, and some other crucial nodes such as the Alchemist cluster, i'd definitely recommend switch over to this builds tree. Gearwise you should mastercraft life on your ring and replace your helmet, shaped helmets for example can roll shock effect, or buy a base helmet with one of the listed enchants and then craft it.

That said, Minotaur is the hardest Guardian for this build. Stay on range, wait until his burrow animation starts then move away to stay within casting range but outside of his burrow AoE.

@SScouty: Your gear looks mostly fine. TobynotTobe has already given a good rundown on what you can do, in addition to that i'd recommend to mastercraft mana on your gloves and life on your amulet, and switch Rotgut + Quicksilver with a Basalt and Wise Oak. Also get yourself a Lv4 Empower and maybe farm for one of the boot enchants.

@TobynotTobe: Bubbling Eternal is fine, so is Lv21 Clarity. Tempest Shield is only really impactful is you stack lots of block, with just the base block from Shield it barely does anything. Vortex' impact may not be immediatly noticeable, but it will save your life in some situations.
The Anima Stone idea is pretty interesting, never considered it since they used to be really expensive, but at current prices it could be a serious alternative give that you don't just get 20% damage and another golem, but also more golem buff effect.

@Dahj: Start with replacing all flasks but the Atziri's Promise, then buy a helmet with the right enchant (Lightning Golem buff effect should be cheap) and essence/chaos craft it. Also get a Watcher's Eye with the Wrath Mana Leech mod for more reliable sustain, that would also allow you to get a new boot enchant or maybe even new boots altogether. Replace the mastercraft on belt with Flask Duration and on Shield with Mana, Gloves still have a suffix open for resistances you may need after these changes, or Mana otherwise. If you have currency left after this aim for a Lv21 Vaal Arc.

What do you think about replacing Beacon of Ruin with Elemancer since arc already hits pretty much every enemy in your surrounding area

Thanks @enki :D this is really helpful! Couple quick questions
- Should I be able to eliminate the mana flask after getting the watcher's eye with mana leech?
- For the helm enchant should I go for increased lightning golem buff, increased arc damage, or +1 arc chain? Never thought of crafting my own but I guess that will be more efficient than running lab non-stop for a week. Better for my sanity as well

Sorry if its a stupid question but how do I get a level 21 vaal arc gem?

Can i play this build on Standard? I need to change something?

Hi Enki,
First of all, thank you for such a detailed guide.. The only bad thing about that is that even being the most detailed guide I've ever seen, my lack of ability in the game is making me stuck and a frustrated... Even more when I struggled with atziri at lvl 80ish 6-link (tabula though) and saw your video doing that with a 4link setup haha.
Well, jokes apart, would you be able to help me with that? I tried elder yesterday. dies at twice in the guardians and when I got to Elder I couldn't even make him sweat, his life didn't come even to half .. As I already said, I believe I'm to be blamed, since I'm following the build almost entirely like it's said in the guide.
One thing I remembered, is that I don't have enchants yet, but do you think they could be the cause?
I think my damage is not as good as it should be. HP and Mana I believe is acceptable Mana regen is also good (for me at least, correct me if I'm wrong).

I believe soon I'll be able to buy either watcher's eye or Inpulsa.. I thought of buying Inpulsa first, what do you think? Inpulsa, Watcher's eye or enchants?

I appreciate your help and if anyone want to help this poor exile on his journey will be welcome as well... Your guide is nothing but awesome!

Thanks!

Corrupt lev 20 normal arc in temple hoping for double coruption - into vaal arc and increasing level.

Isn't "Precision" straight forward better than "Nimbleness"?

You lose 3% less cast speed(1.4%dps), 1% less movement speed and the interruption thingy but you gain 9% attack speed, bunch of accuracy which afaik in my current situation provides like 10-12% additional hit chance and on top of that 20dex which allows you to get less dex on jewellery (114dex is required for lvl 21 faster attacks support).

Hit chance is mostly for shield charge which otherwise has +/- 50% chance to hit which sometimes may lead to dangerous situations when fortify doesn't kick in. Not saying that this 10-12% is important but still a relevant stat.

Got one question, increase effect non-damaging ailment also include increase shock effect or not?

Ofc it's your blame ^^ you eliminates main source of dmg which is "Shock"...

Ignite, bleed and poison are damaging ailments ;-)
