Hey guys! This is my current character that ive been sinking all of my currency and time into!

Feel free to send me a forum pm or msg me ingame with any questions!

Thread will be updated as i continue to play the character

Witch lvl 87

          Pro's / Con's         

Pro's
-Huge dps
-Freeze enemy's
-Shock for 50% damage increase
-Fast clear speed
-Clear end game content easily

Con's
-Can be expensive
-Reflect can hurt A LOT if not handled properly



          Things to Know         

-Headhunter belt is just for fun! however is does change the feel of the build completely! However if you cannot afford one a Doryani's Lightning belt will add more Tooltip dps anyways!
-We dont need quality on our arc because we crit so go ahead and buy a 21/0 arc for much cheaper!
-lvl 4 empower isnt required, a lvl 3 will work just fine!
-I really recommend using a 6l for this build, if you cant afford one use a tabula rasa
-Ways to survive refect
A. Flask effect nodes are a must! We need all the lightning resist we can get
B. Atziri's promise flask for more leech
C. DO NOT TURRET, i cant stress this part enough, cast into the reflect pack once, most of the time its all you need. Spamming arcs into reflect will just get you killed. even with flasks up
D. opt out and spend the points for vaal pac, although i wouldn't recommend this as its a lot of points, in a hardcore environment its a must

You planning to update this for coming patch?
Hello, what a nice looking arc build. I must say I love arc too. Have you tried Maligaro's gloves or does Voidbringers give straight more dps?
