Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Hi Enki - Great Build thanks :-)
I have a noob question - Unfortunately I haven't the time to search through all 560+ pages, so I'm hoping it hasn't been asked before. I'm at lvl 35. I have been blindly following your guide, and so far the only thing that has killed me is the Delve Darkness (boy, it's rough before you get much in the way of Dark Res) So, just started thinking about what bits of equipment to work towards. I initially thought of daggers, as it gives a good Crit Chance, however you don't seem to be going for crit - can I ask why? Do you not need to crit to shock from lightning? Thanks for an awesome guide, must have taken an age to do - much appreciated |

If we are not lvl 100 we need more than one 30 dex roll on gear!

" I'd get some HP on those things asap, also I don't think we run HoT on this setup. |

Hello!
I was wondering if you could please take a look at my character and give me some advice on what to upgrade next? A thing I have a problem with is my neck. I can't upgrade it very much because I need the dexterity it gives, but maybe I could find a Jewel with dexterity instead? Any advice is extremely appreciated :).

@DTD_Hiro
Your damage barely changed because it's an increased (= additive) multiplier, which has diminishing returns the more you stack. The leech actually does nothing too, since we already reach leech cap with just Paragon.
Bisco's is just a pure mapping belt and only worth it if you plan to map a lot, for bossfights a rare belt will in all cases be better.
@MrWonderful99
Herald of Ice is useless, we don't freeze with this build except for maybe that one lucky crit once in a while. Herald of Thunder is in my opinion also rather useless, if anything go with Wrath + Arctic Armour. However this won't come close to the same survivability boost you would have with Mind over Matter and a reliable way to sustain mana.
@Kirian42
No life roll kills it.
@T3RRYY
The penetration helps overcoming high resistance mapmods or delves, plus it has cold damage to spells so you won't need that on a jewel anymore.
@Cheydinhal
5L Inpulsa is implied on second step, Watcher's Eye is more important than a 6L therefore it's together with rare jewels in the third step.
Use the Count function in the dropdown to look for a certain amount of mods out of a list.
@sonicReducer
Culling Strike if anything, but you'd be better off wit ha Tabula Rasa.
@lxdestiny
Hypothermai is better than ALD.
@dacolgod
jackieh917 already gave a good summary why staves are a disadvantage. This build lives off mobility, plus the +3 maxres from Ahn's are incredibly strong. Oneshots really shouldn't happen, only thing that can oneshot you are things you aren't supposed to tank or the +3 chain mod in Delves, if you have your golems summoned. Porcupines should explode when using Inpulsa's no matter what, unless you run a "chance to avoid elemental ailments" map.
@kostikon
It's nice, but two mods on it are wasted. If you don't feel like fossil crafting then just go with it for now.
@Degaldor
This is always paired with shock effect on helmets, just didn't mention it to not bloat the section too much, especially since the mod will be there anyway.
@EtrnlWait
A Lv21 Arc should be next on list, you could also farm a boot enchant in merc lab. Some of your flasks also miss quality, that should be a rather easy fix. After that, maybe jewels.
@Baitt09
I agree with Ténshi, put life on them and just use. We don't use HoT, best you could do is put your Lightning Golem in there to give it bit more base life and golem buff effect.
@godswift
5L is fine, i've done corrupted T15s at the beginning of league with it.
@Rohel
I just got that challenge by luck. If you're good at manually dodging, then you could just let Orb of Storms do the killing.
You gotta have to keep the enchant or try to get a new enchant, the implicit spell damage can't be retrieved unless you buy a new pair. The helmet is nice.
@ViciousCat069
For shocking, you either need crit or shock chance. Arc has some base shock chance, we get lots from the tree plus our Ascendancy gives us 100% shock chance through conflux from time to time. The best base to look out for are sceptres, and i'd recommend a Kite Shield for easier resistance capping.
@Valele
Not sure where you got the 30 Dex from, the guide clearly says we need 37 Dex from gear.
@Bodomi
Your gear looks pretty good, including the amulet. Maybe it's time to replace the helmet with an enchanted one, or alternatively a good shaped helmet with some shock effect and Lightning Damage to Spells. You also currently don't have Cold Damage to Spells anywhere, try to get it on a jewel to make Hypothermia more effective. And the Hybrid Flask shouldn't be needed anymore, replace that with a Wise Oak and get the Alchemist nodes to buff all your flasks.
@everyone else: Thanks! twitch.tv/enkivt Last edited by Enki91#7725 on Sep 19, 2018, 10:45:47 AM

Hey there!
Thanks for making the build, i think my character is coming along nicely! I was wondering however how i can improve my dps. (I am currently at 333000 dps in PoB). The obvious one is gem levels of course but i was wondering if i was missing something important. Here is my profile: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/thereaper25/characters The character name is: BliksemBliksemBoemHeks Thanks in advance! |

" " Ok, thank you very much for the answer. I have now replaced this:  with this:  .Is that a good swap, or do you recommend I replace a different jewel? Also, when I'm using the new Jewel with Cold Damage to Spells my Arc looses ~500DPS in the Tooltip, should I just ignore that? The reason I still have Hybrid is because sometimes I struggle with Survivability and I'm a little scared of switching over to The Wise Oak. Again, thank you very much for this build and this guide, and thank you for how much you respond to people with questions, it's amazing how dedicated you are. Yes.

Hello Enki,
Thank you for sharing this build! Your responses in this thread have taught me so much about the game and its underlying mechanics, and while I'm not playing this build per se, it has helped me make more educated choices in terms of skills and gear. To remain on topic, I'm interested in your thoughts about taking a bit of a detour to grab the "Influence" notable passive after obtaining an Essence Worm and hitting level 90+ in an SSF environment where getting well rolled abyss jewels isn't easy. If I understand the formulas correctly, this would essentially upgrade Wrath's damage multiplier from 22% to 26.4% which can offset the loss of two "10% increased shock effect" abyss jewels which increase shock's damage multiplier by 4%, due to being a relatively bigger increase at high added shock effect values, and also add a bit of extra mana regen on the side due to also affecting Clarity. I know the abyss jewels can have other mods as well that can tip getting two jewel sockets in their favour and maybe I just have bad luck trying to roll decent ones that have shock effect, but I wanted to know if "Influence" is viable in your opinion as an easy SSF alternative. Thanks and keep the helpful responses coming for us! :) |

So what would the Empower be used for? Would it replace Hypothermia?
