[1.2] KuteKitteh’s Tanky Arcer, 20k+ Effective DPS, Atziri/HC-viable. Poor-man’s BM Arc included

I'm not too keen on BM for Beyond league either. I'm probably gonna try rolling without EB/MOM and just get 158% life and use fewer links for Arc and toggle Arctic Armor or rely on granites. Level 42 so far and the build feels pretty solid, though the single target damage is definitely weak compared to shotgun projectiles. Can take a decent amount of time to kill tanky targets. Need to get my hands on Spell Echo...

OK quick question. Is immortal call cwdt? Because when I link it to CWDT it does not show as affected by it. Am I supposed to manually cast it?

CWDT can only cast spells that meet its level requirement and triggers after a certain amount of damage has been taken. Read the description.

Noob Question here!

When you say T1/T2 life items... can you point me to somewhere with a detailed explanation of this and how it works on items.

Cant seem to find an explanation on the interweb :)

Thx

T1 life for rings is the "virile" prefix. For Boots, it's "Athlete's." etc. etc. it's basically the highest tier of rolls a type of item can achieve.

Also after I finish the 81 point tree on the BM arcer and get BM. What do you suggest we go for next as I try and complete the level 85 portion of your tree... the life and block down by the duelist or the lightning damage up by the witch?
If you feel you need DPS, lightning damage. If you need survivability (e.g. Hardcore league), get the HP/block.

Trying out budget version, will post my progress this week, since i dont have a lot time after a work to play. Hope i wont result again in squishy arc caster. :)
Another question about reaching BM, is not better to go link side then u take 2 dex nodes and then str, 2 str next nodes and then down, instead of going down and taking 3 str nodes? you would save 1 point, or im bad at math :)
I don't know what you're saying but I'm pretty sure the path I put up is the most efficient.

I mean this (according to cheap version), here is 1 point saved in bottom of the tree

If you check the level 85 tree and then the main build's level 85 tree, you'll see why the path I picked is more efficient.

Hello KuteKitteh,

First I wanted to thank you for your build. I've always liked the arc concept, but I play mostly solo and the need for endless kiting was always a major nono for me. Thanks to your build, I don't need to kite anymore I can go straight on :)

I switched to BM at level 48, and have been using a 4 link arc-fc-lightpen-lifeleech since then. I used mostly self found gear, spent maybe 10c on perandus, lazhwar and armor pieces, and the leveling phase was really ok.

I'm now at level 67, and just bought the doedre and went EW-conductivity. Prior to that, I felt the clearing speed was a bit low, but with dual curse OMG :) This really changes a lot.

On the tanky side I'm sitting at 75/48 block chances; only 2.7K life, but I feel safe.

Next step will be to buy the Cybil, and maybe drop the lifeleech gem we'll see.

Thanks again

Oh actually, that does work. I didn't realize the first node in it was a .3% regen so I always thought it was 1.5% regen and 5% life for the 4 points.

Yep, you definitely want to drop Life leech in favor of Spell Echo as soon as possible. In fact, you could run EW + Warlord's mark to externalize your leech, and run SE instead. Once you get a good health pool or a Cybil's, you can start relying on instant/catalysed flasks more.

Thanks for the positive feedback!
