Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary

Hi there,

when I select the "increased critical strikes support" for the aura setup at the vendor, the "herald of ice" has an x (which means the gem is not support for icss), but its mentioned that we need it in the guide. how does this work?

Thank you,

Hey guys, first of all thank you for the build enki! I played it before and playing it again.

Right now, I'm just leveling but what you guys thinking about double sceptre instead of Staff? We can achieve much more dps with less investment if I'm not mistaking?

I just bought this two sceptre for 2c each



Something with elemental damage as extra chaos + some crit sceptre should be perfect? What you think? Is anybody playing with 1h version of this build

Well my assumption that it would be melee focussed is because there's other nodes that specify crit for spells or global crit chance, so it's easy to assume that if nothing is specified it might be for attacks only. Otherwise where's the difference between global crit chance and just crit chance?


If it's not explicitly stated 'to spells' or 'to attacks' or "melee", it is in fact global critical strike chance and there is no difference.

There are quite a few nodes that give Global Critical Strike Chance where it's just termed 'critical strike chance'.

Why that is the case, you probably have to ask GGG. Maybe they were too lazy to write the word Global each time.

There is local critical strike chance (on weapons for example; that's also never called "local"), then there's global critical strike chance (for everything) and then there are the restrictions where it's only for spells, for attacks, for melee.

There's a relatively similar thing going on with 'adds # to # (x) damage (to y)'. If it's on weapons (e.g. adds # to # lighting damage on a claw), then it's local lightning damage to attacks with that claw. If it's on rings or amulets, then it's global (which is also not called 'global' then). And as long as it's not on weapons, if it doesn't explicitly restrict it 'to spells' or 'to attacks' it'll add lightning damage to everything then.

I get why this whole thing might lead to confusion. But my question is: Why would you assume that it's just for melee? Think about it this way: You assume it's for melee, because there are other nodes that specify 'for spells'. You might as well assume it's for spells then, right? After all there's other nodes that specify crit explicity 'for melee' or 'attacks'.

If anything, the most logical assumption would be that it must be global. Because there are no specified restrictions.

Hello,
I noticed Arcane Surge Support is at level 6. Is this the recommended level for this support gem?
Thanks!

Almost everything in the below section of the guide is confusing.

How to import builds

You need to install LocalIdentity's PoB Fork to make this work properly!

I know that some people jump straight to the PoB without ever reading the guide, which often leads to failure and is then blamed on the build. Don't be that person!
I've invested lots of time into this guide and find it very rude when people just disregard that
and ask about things that are already well explained. This unfortunately keeps happening.

"(read the notes tab)"
What notes tab? I don't see one at the pastebin site or here.

"You need to install LocalIdentity's PoB Fork to make this work properly!"
To make what work properly? What does it do? It doesn't say here or at the link. The description at the link just explains how to install it. The import of the pastebin into PoB works fine without it, so why do you need it?

Really fun league starter of a build. I would recommend to not engage in the league mechanic until you have good gear though, it's a bit on the squishy side :P

Thanks for the guide :)
Hey! Lvl 59 here, act 8... Look what i found


Worth using or should i swap it for something else, maybe with +cast speed and lightning damage? 14% max life is so good...
I have steelskin and chaos golem in it, so trap support does not matter.

what can I be doing for single target? I just finished 3 and bossing feels very difficult at times.
