FoxTactic's - Righteous Arcer\Surgeon - No update for 1.2

Mad skillz move around like that. You like dodge everything perfect and set up totems and still get off spell. I think I'll stick with the "High Life" version you had before. But seriously how do you sustain life without vitality? At 95% fire without vit you should be dropping like 40-60 LPS?

Having good fun with this build.

I transitioned into it early (around 77) as I have a lvl21 PoF making it easier, it works well enough for all intents and purposes (although I had to postpone taking a few DPS points but that ain't a big problem as I'm only doing 75 or so maps at the moment).

I'm currently 79, it's going well. Main deviation from your build is that I chose to use Alpha's to get my 21 purities to 23 without Empower and without snapshot (I hate having to do that dance). This also makes up for a few reduced reservation nodes I have yet to take. I was not able yet to squeeze in all 4 auras with one of them empowered (not with enough mana to spam Arc anyway). With Alpha's I have both purities at 8% consistenly, putting me at 95% without Inner Force - I do have the aura effect nodes to get past 60%.
Problem with that is ofc finding another 4L with +1 to gems somewhere to put the main Arc in. +1 to gems can be rolled as corrupted implicit on both gloves and boots, and I've been trying to do just that on most semi-decent rares I could get my hands on in the last day or so. No luck yet, but I will keep trying. surprisingly I can just use Arc in a 4L without the +1 gems (with lvl3 Empower) and still get very decent dps - tooltip is a bit over 8k without flask or Vaal Haste, and with a fair number of dps nodes missing (also 0 cast speed on jewelry). The 2 Arc levels I'm missing are not as huge as I imagined - it will up my dps by about 20%, which is certainly not small, but not really game changing either.

(note that I will probably end up using a Vertex at higher levels, as the ES seems really really good - I'm lacking some now - and so does the 50% reduced cost, as I have a fairly hard time sustaining)
I'm proud I made the build that got hotfix nerfed by 80% in under a week :

Just got my first Atziri kill with this build. Love it. I was having issues with her yesterday but then after you mentioned you were using a catalyst I went and bought one too. Killed her with 0 deaths. Thanks for the build.

Post your gear setup!

I`m thinking about it after i hit 86 or so but the main problem is i dont have that many quality gems
I just switched from the base arcer witch to this new tanky RF version, but I am having some problems.

Especially against a lot of monsters, I get stunlocked often and die. Any tips to help avoid this?

Also: How can you sustain such a high level AA? With PoF, PoL, Vitality and clarity I only have about 200 unreserved mana, just barely enough to sustain Arc spam. If I turn on AA, I can only cast arc about 5-6 times before I am oom.
I'm doing this build and I've got an issue.

FoxTactic says he does 25k DPS with arc? Is that combined totem + self cast?

Either way, I am unable to get anywhere close to 25k DPS with my variation of the build.

when I compare Foxtactic's tree and mine, I have like 24% less lightning dmg and about 7% less cast speed total in the tree.

My tree:

http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgUAAnEC4wSzBVsI9Ax9DlwQdBB_EZYTnhRNFvMXLxmFGmwc3B8CJDwkqiSwJjwmlScvJ6ksnC1HLv8vby-dMYg2xTbpPC1E50V-RnFG10lRSbJM_1BCVUtV1lptXcZfP2BtZOdnm2vbbRlwu3NTdhF343kDeqp-WX6vf8aApIIegziG0YuMjDaTJ52Ana6gtKIAog-io6SRpKynCKdcqBiuPq9stAy1BLiTvJ_AVMG0wfPFisae2CTZE9rd2wvcV93z4XPhiONq45_kIuRR5Ozr7u0g7w7wH_Iv8wbz3frS-6o=

My arc setup:

Geofri's:
Arc 20/23q
Empower 3/20q
Lightning pen 20/20q
Faster casting 20/20q

I got a 98% fire spell dmg sceptre with 9% cast speed. I've got cast speed on rings/ammy.

With RF up, my tooltip ARC dps is barely 12k.

I snapshot RF in a +3 Wand with my empower gem, for a level 26 RF. Is there more to it?

I've spent 112 points in the tree, (level 92) and I have no idea how I'm losing out on 13K dps?

What I'm missing from FoxTactic's build is:

level 21 Arc
level 4 empower (I got lvl 3)

So missing on two Arc level make up 13K dps? (or close to it)

With two sceptre and haste I was doing a bit more DPS with cloak of defiance.

I don't see how getting 4 more points in the tree (level 96) and a couple Arc levels would get me anywhere close to 20-25k dps.

What the hell am I missing?

Vertex is a big plus for that reason, it halves the mana cost of arc.

You get stunlocked? how much HP do you have?

lol, sorry I meant lightning dmg. (I double checked, it is lightning lol)

Still, you can't explain the disparity in dps? FoxTactic has 25K tooltip dps... I got 12k.
