Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Guys,
I got trough act 10 Kitava easily and running T1-T5 maps easily but how do I progress with gear? I got a tabula rasa as my 6-link and a 4-link staff. I'm SSF. How do I upgrade, Enki said farming the 6-link body armour div card but that's a real hassle I experienced. any tips?

Try to reach arc level 31 and
Just start double influencing everything:
- Chest +1 active skill gems + crit chance or frenzy on hit
- boots tailwind and evasive
- gloves chance to unnerve and culling strike? or frenzy on kill?, check enki affixes I think he highlights a few.




Could you explain a little more how to do these things?


Sure.

Step 1: Go here:
https://poedb.tw/us/mod.php

Step 2: choose your item of equiptment I will choose body armor int (for vaal regalia)

So now you can scroll down and see all the influenced mods you can have.
Influenced mods are anything on this page under Crusader, redeemer, hunter or warlord (and shaper and elder i think)

Step 3: Choose 2 mods you like.
I like
1: suffix | hunter | Spells have #% to Critical Strike Chance
2: Prefix | warlord | +1 to Level of Socketed Active Skill Gems

Step 4: find or buy two seperate body armors which contain these mods (and no other influenced mods. One has to be a 6link (because you will wear it) the other can be no links and 1 socket.

Lets say +1 to level... is our 6link

Step 5: Buy an awakener orb
- Right click awakener orb
- Left click on the body armor with "Critical Strike Chance" which selects it
- then left click on your +1 to level 6link
Result copy the "crit chance" influence mod on your 6link and keep the "+1 to level..." influence mod but it will reroll all the other stats, just have to hope you get lucky there.

best to find an "awakener orb" youtube video so you can see someone do it.
So then you have a double influenced item.

To get to level 31arc you will need empower level 4 gem in your 6link setup, and also +1 to gems on a few of these double influenced items, the amulet you can get:
+1 intelligence gems
+1 lightning gems (or something)

for example:

see at the top left i have the crusader icon, top right i have the hunter icon, thats a double influenced item, since the awakener orbs are over 2ex last time I looked they are pretty expensive to make but the influenced mods can be super powerful, a few i highlighted in my last post and I suggest you double check what enki recommends.

hope that helps.

Very well set-out guide, especially the gearing progression/upgrades. I can clear A8 Sirus deathless and can also do wave 20 sims and 100% delirium T16 maps.


Nice to see that someone has managed to do this.
I am still struggling with T14-T15 100% Delirium and 19-20 sims wave.
When you thick out everything in POB (community) what is your arc DPS ?

Or can you share your fully configured POB, something like this https://pastebin.com/zZpbPWf5 ?


If you want to see someones tree just click on their name next to post>>>>
Goto characters, look for the delirium league charactor etc.

You look fine, to a certain extent this build will always be a bit rippy, you just got to live with that, accept it and learn to avoid those things which you struggle with.

Having said that, if I have to criticise your build I would say one thing.
You are sacrificing too much core stats like life for the juicy influenced mods.
- Chest your sacrificing life with a low life roll for double influence
- boots sacrificing life for double influence
- jewels sacrificing 2% life on each jewel for damage
- gloves your sacrificing a lot of ES and a little life for culling strike
- amulet and gloves your sacrificing a little life by having the craft instead of a T1 life roll.
i cant see your rings and belt for some reason but I guess its similar.

My point is, sure sacrifice some life if you get some great double influence, but when you start to make that sacrifice on every item I would think that would be a problem.

Rememeber with this build life is extra important because energy shield doesn't directly protect life.

Also, given that MOM requires your Mana/ES to be (0.43xlife) then the higher your life is, the higher that MOM protection can be.

Even if you roll a lot more life, I am not sure how much it would really help.

Thanks, I always was wondering how to craft the influenced stuff, this helps with that.

I wonder how many hours you have to play to get an empower gem to even level 3, it must be 1000s of hours.

Thank you man. I get what your saying. Belt and ring are now back in place. Yes i did sacrifice ~1k life. But that 1k life with all thouse mods cost is too much 80ex i think even more. I would buy headhunter for that ;D ? So i rolled with the flow, got a lot of luck on items prices form market.

Also i dont rly feel like that 1k life would save me. Becouse before i had less influencer mods and more life. Felt worse. becoouse less dmg same survivability. But now sometimes even when i have to rip, dmp leach saves me or mobs even dont tuouch me. Except Awa8 T16 100% delirious or Simulactrum wave 19,20. Thouse are the probhlems

is there a guide how to craft this cool staff?
Where can I get feedback on my ArcWitch build? In game when I ask a question, I just get comments "your build is bad" But I'm following the build as best I can in SSF... clearly something is wrong because I get spanked in watchstone fights, L9/10 unique maps and cant get past first or second fight in final lab...


Hello! This is my gear, playing HCSSF for the first time. Did kitava and few T1-2 maps yesterday, dmg is there, survi is there, but I haven't switched to MoM yet. I've read that you need your ES to be ~40% of your life to switch to MoM + EB, but I'm nowhere near it, sitting at 3800/600 w/o discipline and 3800/1200 with discipline (which im not using pre-switch). I know I could drop tabula and reach that 40%, but dont think it's worth downgrading to 4-link. Any tips how I could transition to MoM+EB on SSF? I know I can farm div cards for 5-link staff in one of the T1 maps, but that's pretty much it. I haven't played any MoM builds, and I'm scared to yolo it on HC :)
