I'm only at level 49 and my gear is self found trash mixed with levelling uniques, so I'm not asking why can't I sustain it yet, just genuine noob curiousity about approximate gear requirements. You need 230 mana/s to run a level 20 AA. That means you'll need some good ES gear and at least 70-80% mana regen from rings. If you run the MoM setup, +100% mana regen from rings is recommended. " Zugas wrote: Spoiler Thank you for the answer Kitteh. I got some more questions for you. I started out with the BM version, and it's been really good so far. I enjoy not having to worry about mana! But now I'm 84 and it's kinda slow, tanky but slow. My question is this. With my BM gear I've really don't have a lot of mana and ES. Plus I'm wearing a Tabula Rasa which doesn't have any stats/ES. I found two rings with mana-regen, will I have trouble switching to the main mana-build with low/no mana/ES gear? My Gear Edit: added gear for convenience You will be able to sustain Arc, but your AA level won't be that great.

It gives my level 11 (+1 from helm) haste a bit more cast speed and clarity/discipline a bit more regen/mana. with clarity/haste/ts i'm at 860 unreserved mana (257.1 regen) and with discipline in place of haste i'm at 1124 (293.1 regen) To hold me over till I can get a better pair of gloves, I plan to add armor/es + mana to my current gloves with master crafting, and possibly add ES to my rings since it's my only option. Just waiting on level 7's to get max bracket. You look like you're doing just fine. " tungzk wrote: Cheap, reliable AND efficient. Look no further for a fun yet effective arc witch build. Thanks!

Atziri down thanks Kute! I was tempted to switch to storm call for her fight but it ended up working just fine.	Posted by Porterhouse on Sep 2, 2014, 1:58:30 AM Quote this Post

Is that THE VERTEX helmet good choise for this build ?. I was thinking to buy one of those.	Posted by sn3kox on Sep 2, 2014, 6:41:45 AM Quote this Post
Awesome build, really fun. Was just wondering what you think of the "1% of Lightning damage leached as life" Catarina offers at level 6 to caster weapons and if you think this changes anything as far as wanting a Doryani's is concerned? Also, how much DPS increase did you see after getting a Doryani's? I have the currency to get one but I'm not sure if I should hold out or not because they're stupidly expensive.

I would rather take a life and high-res helmet, the Vertex isn't that necessary. " TwentyB wrote: Spoiler Awesome build, really fun.

Also, how much DPS increase did you see after getting a Doryani's? I have the currency to get one but I'm not sure if I should hold out or not because they're stupidly expensive. If there's a wand that gives over 100-110 lightning spell damage and over 9-10 cast speed with possibly mana/manaregen and 5 or fewer affixes, it would easily outperform the Doryani. Of course, it would be that much more expensive. I was using a perfect-roll moonsorrow (89/10 lightning/cast) so moving to a Doryani (103/9) didn't give that much of a boost. " tungzk wrote: Regarding gem quality, which gem has priority for upgrades? Faster Casting by far. Then Elemental Weakness. Q20ing SE and light pen will give +10% damage each, that's nice. Quality on Arc isn't necessary but recommended for slightly faster clears. " niemand12 wrote: 'sup, could i run incinerate with this build? would that be any good? Of course the build can run incinerate. You just need to take the appropriate wheels and get the right colors.
