ah yeah... the helmet enhcant.. did I mention that I hate the lab? ;)
But yeah, you have a point... I am missing out there.
Maybe I should wait for a short lab, and dedicate a day to it ;)


Thanks for the tipps!

Don't try to farm a specific helmet enchantment from the lab, you will most likely just end up frustrated. Trade is always the way to go on helmet enchantments.

Hello it seems using controlled destruction support would be counterintuitive when also using elemental overload as elemental overload relies on dealing crit but controlled destruction lowers your chance to 0? Am I missing something?

It is 100% reduced, not less. It affects the amount of increased crit chance but does not bring it to zero.

Still trying to roll one though.

Would it be worth my time to level the anomalous arc I just found? I know it's better that regular arc in this build. Or should I sell it and go strait for divergent?

Both Anomalous Arc and Divergent Arc are valid options.
Divergent Arc will straight up increase the damage you do if you chain, while Anomalous Arc will make you chain more easily.

The choice depends on mob density (and on what you prefer).

Indeed, the pool of possible helmet enchants is way too big to reliably farm the one you want.
Either buy it, or run Uber Lab when you have a few good 'universal' bases (either frequently used uniques like Crown of the Inward Eye, or ilvl 85 Hubris Circlets, ...) and enchant them all.
You could get lucky and hit the enchant you want, or you might get another valuable enchant worth several exalts so you can later buy the one you want.

It actually can hit zero, but not in the setup Enki has made.

The formula is:
Total crit chance = (base crit chance of spell/weapon + the sum of all % to critical strike chance)*(1 + the sum of all % increased/reduced crit chance)

You could actually get to 0% chance to do a critical strike when your only source of the %increased/reduced is the -100% from Controlled Destruction.
-> 5% base crit chance * (1 - 100/100) = 5% base chance * 0 = 0% crit chance

However this build utilises a few small passives on the tree and the buff from Ice Golem to add some % increased, so you will still be able to crit.

Hello guys !

First of all, thank you Enki for this nice build. I have been using it over the years as both a league starter and an endgame finisher, it is great.

And here i am again, looking for advices. I have about 4 ex now, not playing a lot.

Where should i aim for improvement now ? I have checked the watcher's prices, and its above 10 ex, which is a long way to go.



Thank you all !

For 4 ex, I'd probably suggest getting a watcher's eye with increased mana recovery rate ( https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/5nj5dVta ), a pure talent and a crown of the inward eye with the arcane cloak enchantment. If you have to fix resistances for the crown, look into that first.

All of what the above poster said plus look for boots with 50-70% mana regen if you cast a spell recently enchant. They can be a bit expensive depending on the stats you need.

Cool thx for the explanation. So does that mean in boss fights against one mob divergent doesn't do anything since arc doesn't chain?
