How do I make my Three Dragons headpiece have 2 green 2 red sockets? chroms don't seem to do anything in that regard?

1. Use Jeweler's Orb until you have 2 sockets
2. Benchcraft 2 Red sockets
3. Benchcraft 3 sockets
4. If the 3rd socket is not green, benchcraft 2 sockets and try 3. again
5. Benchcraft 4 sockets
6. If the 4th socket is not green, benchcraft 3 sockets and try 5. again
7. Link it up

thank you, this helped a lot, I just crafted my helmet.

So I'm in about T4 to T5 maps and have yet to craft or find a jewel with life on it. Am I having completely bad RNG or is this normal? I have a couple thousand hours into this game and still learning and confused by the game. :)

You don't have anywhere near "full gear".

Get rid of Tabula, it sucks. Get a good ES Queen's Hunger instead and you'll get 1.5k - 2.5k ES depending on offering procs to top off your EHP pool. It's really needed to stabilize the build.

Most of your flasks are bad, non-quality, not according to the guide. Actually they're astonishingly bad for a level 87, you must have died tons with a Tabula and those flasks.

And ... if I'm reading your gear right, you're not even res capped.

This build is pretty smooth. I haven't played an Arc build in years, but after the buff I figured I'd give it a shot. I like how the guide is aimed at newer players, as a lot of other guides assume that the reader already has a pretty solid understanding of the fundamentals (not a bad thing, just saying). A great way to help immerse them into building a proper endgame character while understanding why they are making the choices they are. Works well on a budget. I was able to get up to T13 maps comfortably with under half an exalt in investment.

I'm only on my second day in maps, but after level 80 I had enough for some modest upgrades, so I bought the boots and some decent gloves. The rest of the gear was super cheap, and some of it I've been using well before I finished the campaign. For most items I'd only been spending between an alch to a chaos orb or so per slot,






The staff I used The Dark Mage to get and I got lucky with the +2 Lightning Gems when I transmuted it, but I was doing just fine on a 5L before. Not sure how far I'm going to go with this character, but it's working out fantastically as a starter. We'll see how I feel about it after 90+.

Played this a couple of leagues ago and loved it....Will probably run it again through Standard(don't have much time for league play).

This is by far the best Build Guide, HANDS DOWN!. So many times I read build guides and I have more questions then answers after reading them. I like how you explain WHY you are using a specific Gem and when to link specific gems etc....

Personally I think this is the build guide that all other build guides should be modeled after........ It's extremely well done, so thank you!

I have 75/104/71 resistance.
So i have to change flasks and body armour, when i change this i see difference and i back answer

And dont forget jewels with 7% life...

I made a few changes, mainly picking up the unique flasks, and its helped a lot. I grabbed a jewel with 7% life, 7% ES, and it has 6% chance to knockback which has also helped out a ton with survivability. Even though its only 6% it seems to knock back in every MOB and it helps keep them away and stun a little, I haven't noticed and drawbacks.

I think anything T12 and higher is going to be dicey, you're definitely going to get 1 shot out of the blue every once in a while but the DPS is there to handle map bosses and metamorphs….its just a good thing we aren't playing hard core.

I am currently in t5 maps so I do not know how important it is to have "Minion life support".

I just had the idea to drop this gem and use "Conductivity" instead. Also, get the "Whispers of Doom" passive note (maybe trough blight league mechanic on the amulet) so we can apply 2 curses "Conductivity" and "Assasins Mark" (trough the ring mod).

This way we would not have to spend so much on getting a 6 link armour and we would get more single target dmg (good for metamorph and boss clear speed). Did not test it in PoB because this Fork addin doesn't seem to work.
