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

Im curious the mana sustain, with the necro version was a breeze, now with teh encro nerf even if ppl would consider trying taht version wont work,the lost of 30% increased damage made that version dead.

Read the last day or so worth of replies. Necro isn't dead, but Ele is better.

I meant for the arc build,k not completly dead but too weak to be viable with all the new mechanics, as enkis said on encro we didnt had damage scalling and the los of 30% while consuming a corpse is huge.

I was excited to try this with the new Ele rework, but I noticed Enki changed the title for SSF and now says it requires uniques. Is this still viable as an SSF league starter?

The loss of 30% is not 30% of your damage. The core build has roughly 400-800% "Increased damage" by default at level 90. With the loss of "30% Increased damage", you go from 400% Increased to 370% Increased damage, which is really a loss of about 8% of your damage. I have a pretty mature build with 800% Increased damage, so losing 30% really actually means losing less than 4% of my damage.

I personally am going to just keep my Arc Necromancer (my first ever POE character!) an Arc Necromancer. I've hit most of my goals (Uber Elder, Uber Atziri, Simulacrum 20, Atlas completion; just working on Sirus A8!), so I'll probably start on a whole new non-Arc character going forward.

I'm hyped for the 3.13 version, I feel like there is lots of potential for this build after reading the patch notes.

I’m really excited to see an elementalist version return. I’m even more psyched for the Arcanist(?) ascendancy coming in PoE2, which is supposed to buff lightning and mana.

I haven't read patch notes, what new buffs are coming for this build? It always falls off at red maps for me.

Is Enki not going for a trigger wand? I don't think you can link Hextouch to a triggered WoC; it would prevent Conductivity from being used. Conversely you can just use the wand's trigger to auto cast the curse.

....Actually in hind sight that is probably the pre-trigger wand setup, and he'll remove it later.

Sir May I ask why you didn't use Paragon of calamity to make your build cons lesser?and about arc which class is really better(or cheaper)Inquisitor or this elementalist?thanks for the reply in advance
