Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
" There's a +30 str node in the passive tree "might" you can take, and you can craft some on gear while you're still levelling. Once you get to gearing in maps, atziri's foible and pure talent should solve it from there on out. " It's a cheap annointment that gives a lot of mana, and mana sustain during mapping. You'll switch at some point to a more expensive one. |

Hey, just stumbled across your build and am wanting to try it but I am very new and kind of confused about a few things. Namely, the first bit is early you say to buy a second wand, what I couldn't figure out is what kind of wand I'm buying. Do sockets matter? Does rarity matter? Thanks in advance for answering a silly noobish question.

thanks a lot for the great guide!
just one question, i didn't fully understand that part: Avoid Cold Damage added to Spells [...] it can ruin the Exposure applied by Wave of Conviction and Mastermind of Discord! Is that problematic only for explicit "added to spells", or for everything that triggers cold damage in whatever ways? I just bought a great item with "trigger edict of winter when hit" enchantment, do I need to replace that? |

one more question: i can't sustain righteous fire, my mana runs empty too fast.
my current numbers: 3435 life, 3979 mana, 431 life-reg/s, 473 mana-reg/s is it just about getting more mana-reg, or is it also a question of life/mana-balance? as long as i don't manage to make it work, what gem would you recommend to replace it with? also i'm wondering if "the agnostic" always is a good idea to use, or only for sustaining righteous fire? so if i don't use it, should i remove the agnostic? |

" They all matter a little. If you can buy a 3 socket or 3 link wand you can run more gems. Same for rarity: if it has increased lightning damage/spell damage or caster stuff, it's gonna be better. But any (early) wand has an implicit that increases spell damage. And I believe Enki recommends using a vendor recipe fairly soon, which you can do with both wands. ------- @tapejam Only to spells. Wave of conviction (WoC) applies exposure based on the damage it dealt. So we want to avoid WoC dealing something else than lightning damage, since lightning damage has such a large spread in damage, it might apply the wrong exposure otherwise. Also, you don't have to run RF immediatly. Vaal RF is a nice skill to add some burst damage to bosses. But at some point you do want your mana regen to be high enough to run RF in my opinion. The agnostic also helps you get burst less often if a lot of small hits hit you. (Doesn't help against 1 big hit) |

" It's not too hard to do the crafting. It's not actually crafting (ala the table) it is a vendor recipe. Sell the indicated items all at once to a vendor and instead of currency they provide the recipe result, in this case a buzzing magic wand. Just add the three items as Enki listed in a sell window and out comes a basic lighting damage (1-2) - (21-22) lighting damage wand. " If you have no magic wands, easy enough to find some while you were leveling, or buy one from the vendor. If you have no topaz rings, the next line in the guide tells you how to make one by selling it to the vendor. " It's too bad you can't make the lightning damage modifier a rare with all the rares we get from the trialmaster. I add another affix to the lighting (buzzing) wand we just made with currency.

In Act 3, it says "Get Increased Duration and link that to Arcane Cloak aswell" but it requires 52 strength and I only have 24 strength. Did I miss something? Sorry, I'm brand new to this game! :)

" Allocate 30 strength node in the tree and craft strength from crafting bench onto your gear(the cheapest or second cheapest tier) |
