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.

Thank you very much, looking into it right now. The crown of the inward eye looks great, but means lots of investment in resistances. The cerulean rings with tri res are very expen$ive and i'll need tri res on belt and gloves as well. I will also check for the 75% mana enchant, looks great !

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).

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?

In boss fights with only 1 enemy the quality effect of both Divergent and Anomalous Arc are useless.

The quality effect of Divergent is usefull when enemies are close enough together to chain, otherwise Anomalous is better.

Consider an ARC where are all hits do exactly 1000 damage and you have 200% increased damage on your tree/gear.

Say your normal quality Arc chains 7 times:

1st enemy hit: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^7 = 7980 damage
1st chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^6 = 6939 damage
2nd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^5 = 6034 damage
3rd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^4 = 5247 damage
4th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^3 = 4563 damage
5th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^2 = 3968 damage
6th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^1 = 3450 damage
7th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^0 = 3000 damage

Now look at Divergent Arc with 7 chains:

1st enemy hit: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^7 = 7980 damage
1st chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 10/100) * 1,15^6 = 7170 damage
2nd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 20/100) * 1,15^5 = 6436 damage
3rd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 30/100) * 1,15^4 = 5772 damage
4th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 40/100) * 1,15^3 = 5171 damage
5th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 50/100) * 1,15^2 = 4629 damage
6th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 60/100) * 1,15^1 = 4140 damage
7th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 70/100) * 1,15^0 = 3700 damage

The effect of Divergent Arc is the greatest on the last chain, so if you manage to chain 7 times with a Divergent Arc you'll deal 23% more damage compared to normal or Anomalous Arc (in this example with 200% increased damage on you tree/gear!).

The effectiveness of Divergent Arc decreases the more %increased damage you have on your Arc.

If you have for a second example 2000% increased damage on your Arc, than you only deal 3,5% more damage on the 7th chain.

Extra damage with chains are nice, but only if you manage to chain.
The problem will be to chain 7 times, and Anomalous Arc will make it easier to chain.

So, at the end of the day it's a choice based on what density of enemies you'll expect.

1st chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^6 = 2776 damage
2nd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^5 = 2414 damage
3rd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^4 = 2099 damage
4th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^3 = 1825 damage
5th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^2 = 1587 damage
6th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^1 = 1380 damage
7th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^0 = 1200 damage

Now look at Divergent Arc with 7 chains:

1st enemy hit: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100) * 1,15^7 = 3192 damage
1st chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 10/100) * 1,15^6 = 2799 damage
2nd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 20/100) * 1,15^5 = 2454 damage
3rd chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 30/100) * 1,15^4 = 2151 damage
4th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 40/100) * 1,15^3 = 1886 damage
5th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 50/100) * 1,15^2 = 1653 damage
6th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 60/100) * 1,15^1 = 1449 damage
7th chain: 1000 damage * (1 + 200/100 + 70/100) * 1,15^0 = 1270 damage

The effect of Divergent Arc is the greatest on the last chain, so if you manage to chain 7 times with a Divergent Arc you'll deal 5.8% more damage compared to normal or Anomalous Arc (in this example!).

The effectiveness of Divergent Arc decreases the more %increased damage you have on your Arc.

Extra damage with chains are nice, but only if you manage to chain.
The problem will be to chain 7 times, and Anomalous Arc will make it easier to chain.

So, at the end of the day it's a choice based on what density of enemies you'll expect.

That's a lot of quality maths there my friend! :). I think I'll just level both regular and the anomalous i have to 20/20 and pray one of them hits 21/20 when I vaal it. Thanks again!

Yeah, if only I hadn't made a mistake :P
I fixed it in my post.

I miscalculated the %increased damage by a factor of 10, so the effect of Divergent Arc is actually much bigger than in my wrong calculation.

Hello
Can someone explain to me how you get the skill "focus" to use the craft that triggers with "focus". I don't understand if this comes naturally with the craft or if it takes the skill for the craft to decline.

thank you

Seem completely unable to down Maven's Invitation: The Twisted with this build. Just get one shot repeatedly lol.

Any advice I would be extremely grateful.

I suspect the build just isn't meant for end game content. But I hope I'm wrong.

Seem unable to directly link my character, but this is the characters link. Character is Shamsticles.

The build can clear all content, all though I haven't run too many 100% delirious maps yet.

Fix your flasks, in accordance with Enki's suggested suffixes.
Try to get more mana on stuff. It raises both our damage and our survivability?
Your left wand only has 20mana, gloves 15, abyss jewel none, boots none, ring 37, normal jewel no increased mana or life. And hows your mana regen?
I suspect a regular foible is better than the corrupted one, because you can still give it quality.

Fair points. I'll look at harvest crafting or buying pieces w/ more mana.

As for the foible, I thought the increased aura effect on wrath was pretty good. But I'll definitely compare without.

Really appreciate the advice :)

Hi!
What is the best way to craft the Golden kris dagger?
*Maximum Mana (tier >=3)
*Increased spell damage (tier >=2)
Without suffix, equal to Enki.
