You can't do double arc. Poet's Pen puts a global cooldown on all spells of the same name when it casts any of them.

Uber elder down....

Spoiler

First try in this league, not the cleanest run and used all 6 portals to kill him because my last uber elder fight was 3 months ago. Only watched my own uber elder kill video from last league to remind myself the fight mechanics.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Some personal thoughts on uber elder
-Ball lightning takes too long for travelling to actually hit something, cuz I can't facetank elder/shaper all the time, I have to dodge many things during the fight, especially at phase 3 and 4 (elder start using tentacles slam and his own slam).

-I'll try replace slow proj or other skills next time and see how it goes. This will definitely hurt my mana recovery from mind of the council. But I hope that gives me more dps on this fight

-Soul of ryslatha minor pantheon gives more life flask charges for extra room for errors, like mispositioning and taking DoT on the ground, shaper ball/beam, elder siphon

For those who on a tight budget
-I'd say 2 poets pen, 5L inpulsa and mind of the council is mandatory.

-Leech
You can use a shaper amulet with "% lightning damage leeched as life"
OR
essence worm ring + watcher eye with vitality life leech

I went with essence worm variant because I started this build with around 2ex, and solved my leech problem for 30-40c. Also can upgrade into a better version if you have more budget

Once I can afford a wrath penetration watcher eye, I replace vitality with wrath on essence worm, respec mastermind of discord and use paragon of calamity instead. "Wrath + lightning pen" gives similar dps compare with "mastermind of discord + herald of thunder". But I can get more unreserved mana for mom, 0.5% life leech, reflect immune for smoother mapping.

-Amulet
A rare amulet with crit multi + spell/lightning damage + life + mana is comparable with choir of the storm.
According to my own gear, a rare amulet gives similar dps on arc/ball lightning and 100-200 more ehp, tho you lost some dps from level 20 lightning bolt skill on choir of the storm

My Gear

What post are you referring to? I don't recall it being said to use 2 arcs at the same time.
