I took a long break from PoE, almost a year, and returned to the game in the Beyond league following this build. I have a 5l chestpiece and wanted to add another support gem to Arc-Spell Echo-Lightning Pen-Faster Casting. My question is what should I link to it next and can someone explain the rationale to me?

Empower is probably the best option but you can add life leech or add lightning damage instead (until first lvl is reached for Empower).

Ok reached lvl 68 in Beyond.

Currently at 3600 HP, 5100 DPS on Arc, Dual Curse. Damage is nice, not as much as my LS crit shadow but far more tanky.

Anyways, i switched to rathpith globe and have a problem with my block currently. I have only 52% Block now.

Gear :

My current tree (its a little bit different right now..needed HP adjustements)

I´m not sure why you are asking about the block. you didn´t take the block notes which are needed in this build. instead you went out on the right side of the witch starting area for more mana/life etc.

normally you would compensate mana with shield (EB). the more shield you have the more mana, the more mana regen you have.

also, if you use your chest you should not use the build which is posted in the front. the way down to MoM takes to much points. if you use CoD you tree should look like this:

I just build it in a few seconds to compensate for the missing block notes. I would bet with a little tweaking and moving points it can be optimised.

about your gear.

why did you take eldrich battery? it will transform your shield into mana. more mana = higher mana regen = more survial (MoM) /higher AA ..

however your gear has almost no shield except a few mods. I would highly suggest to get more shield gear (with life mods, resi and if possible max mana, max shield). example for my level gear:

. rolls are terrible but just as example

replace your boots and your necklace (necklace with lazhwar unique, +1 curse corruption is optional since very expensive)

overall if you have more shield on gear you need less passiv points to increase it which gives you more points for block notes and other passivs. :)

please correct me if I´m wrong, I´m also just experimenting with this build :)

Just wondering how to achiev the 9-10k dps that this guide mentions.

With these

Spoiler

and Herald of Ice active I got 6577dps.

Perfect roll doryanis would be +20% spell damage and -2% cast speed. Without Added lightning I got 5757 so does adding empower in it's place really add 4k dps? (almost doubling it)

Dropped my CoD and went for a 6link,so the basic setup is arc+echo+faster cast+light pen+empower+?
What should i go for as 6th gem? flat light dmg? i am running dorys invitation and catalyst,so i go quite alot of + lightning dmg.
My leech is all good,at this point the only thing i can up is my dps. so what would be the best 6th link option?
