Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
" I don't have sulphite lol but i'm the only one with problems? |

I just competed all the Acts and Epilogue and did one map last night. Was able to clear everything. Died once during the Acts due to real life attack from my kids. They ambushed me; wasn't expecting it.
Changed the passives over and ran 1 map last night. Was able to clear it no issues. Only level 1. I'm in the middle of switching over to staff. Loving the build. If Enki's running the build and clearing stuff it works. I love how this build kills around corners and kills stuff off the screen some times. Hilarious! There might be some fine tuning along the way; but, there always is. THANK YOU FOR THE BUILD AND THE TIME YOU SPENT PUTTING IT TOGETHER! IT TOTALLY MADE THE GAME FOR ME! COOKIES FOR YOU! |

First off, I am loving the build. It's what got me playing this league. Playing SSF for first time as well in hopes I learn the game better.
Quick question, I got a little lucky from league mechanic and got a Tabula Rasa on Act II. I am wondering what gem setup I should be doing in it. Currently have Arc + Added Light + Arcane S as the guide instructs for my point in the campaign. Not really sure the final gem setup would be good this early on so looking for some direction on that. Thanks my dudez! |

Hi everyone,
is it me or the build is a bit squishy? I'm struggling a lot in red maps with 4k life and 2k es :( |

In the guide it shows that you are to use Zealot's Oath in the skill tree. How do you heal life without using a flask? I noticed your actual character does not use Zealot's Oath.
This is my first time using MoM, EB, and ZO. I struggle a bit with healing on some boss fights when my flask runs out for healing hp. Thanks for the guide, btw. It's very well written and organized. |

" You seem to highly overestimate the gain from shields. We'd really only gain a liferoll in exchange for damage and the trigger setup, the little bit of extra block or unscaled armour does nothing really. The true reason why there's "so many" posts about people struggling is because it's like this at the start of every single patch, what you don't see here right now are all the people who aren't struggling and usually come much later to post their final setups and thank for the guide. -----------
@Zeeul
You could try out Energy Leech until you have a trigger staff, then you want the last socket for WoC.
@Krël
Sounds like an option for leveling, if they drop to a relatively low price it could be worth it.
@jjy94
Haven't gotten any good ones yet. Lightning Walker is in the Devouring Diadem tree in PoB.
@schalander
Yes HoGM is doable, even deathless depending on which exiles you get.
@psykookysp
It would be a start, although eventually you want Assassins Mark since it also adds basecrit and damage.
@estereotipo12
Zeeul already gave you a good rundown, in addition your flasks are missing quality and Ambu's Charge is only for low content, not for high tier mapping.
@Reaperstwo
That's a great staff, likely much better than any other leveling weapons you find. For upgrades, import your character into PoB and then import the potential upgrades to compare.
@Dumptruck89
Hard to say, better gear and gem levels definitely helps but it may also be a playstyle or decision-based issue. Your cheapest two upgrades right now would be a boot enchant and anointment, and an Atziri's Promise.
@deathgod114 & corranosgor
Archmage doesn't work well with this setup, i've added the answer to this to the main post.
@subcutan
Crits damage ceiling is much higher, although it would take some compromises you may not want to take such as losing one flask for a Diamond, replacing the ring with an Assassin's Mark one or replacing Inpulsa with a crit chest.
@Wissle
Works in Standard, no Delirium-stuff is needed.
@Dibbs192
There's not really enough supports until late Act 4, you could put in Orb of Storms so it benefits from the supports aswell, and mule yourself Onslaught support on a scion. Then once you got the supports, just put them in instead of replacing supports but keep an eye on your mana sustain, in the end you deal less damage if you can only get 1-2 casts out before going OoM.
@_Sn4k3_
You're missing Flesh and Stone, that alone will help you a lot with surviving when coupled with Silent Steps anointment. Another thing is you have no Basalt or Quartz Flask, either will add another layer. The rest possibly comes down to playstyle, 4k life seems awfully low for what you're trying to run, I got roughly 5.3k life / 3k ES on the Lv93 test char.
@SignoEleven
Life Leech + Catalysed Eternal Flask mostly covers it. Later on you can use Sorrow of the Divine and spec out of Zealot's Oath, since the flask gives ZO on demand and let's you keep life regen on life during flask downtime.

I'm just going to say this...
If Enki can run the build to the 90s+ before dying, ON HARDCORE - then anyone sitting here complaining that the build isn't viable, or because you are struggling there must be something with the build... Stawp. The problem is US, people who aren't used to the game, who don't read the Build, and follow it to the letter. Who think we can make this or that tweak cuz we are somehow smarter than Enki whose been playing not only PoE for a very long time, but religiously updates his Build every single league and plays it to deep into End Game, on Hardcore, with zero problems. I think people should take a breath instead of insulting the build, or the builder, making accusations of viability... consider the possibility you're just doing something wrong??? I'm currently sitting at about level 50, I'm Slow through the ACT Progression, but so far I've died a few times, but it was my own ignorance, not paying attention, getting caught up overwhelmed in a situation I shouldn't have gotten into... The build has been great so far, even with the Tweaks I've made, zero issues. |

First off wanted to THANK YOU for this well written and super detailed guide. The leveling section alone was gold!
And to all the haters complaining it's obvious you didn't read the guide and just copied the PoB. I read everything and still missed some details here and there. Before this league I had no idea what to play. I wanted something ranged but not a bow build. I was dead tired of Necro and the nerfs hepled me exclude it entirely. Cyclone has always been my main stay but I wanted ranged. And voila I found this guide - it's the most fun I've had in a long time. Yes I'm dying to Delirium sometimes and so did my golems. But after todays patch I haven't resummoned a golem at all. I'm only 79 and just got a hold of a decent staff and now saving currency for a 6L chest for Arc. And I'm looking forward to see how this build goes down the road. |

I don't find any info if I should upgrade the red gems? I upgrades the sand aura gem and my mana is almost 0 after doing so. Is that normal?
