Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

@Kirian42
My sceptre in Standard League is not very good, it's just a quick craft that I planned to finish at some point, but after acquiring a better one in Delve i'll just wait until that one carries over.

@blg_RealiZe
Just a small correction, we actually do shock Shaper and all other bosses for 50% with 150% shock effect, cuz' the shock effect applies to the shock % you'd apply rather than lowering the treshold, as it was assumed for a long time.

Fantastic detailed guide. It really helps a new player like me to get a grip on this game. Do you have guide for other classes too?
Greetings,

Came across this item and was wondering if there is anyway to use it in the build and if so suggested gems for it? Thank you!

Regarding the helmet lab enchant, is "Arc chains an additional time" or "Arc deals 40% more damage" better?
Hi, I want to play arc but I don't understand the point of going Elemental Overload. Is it stronger than going crit? is it cheaper? what is the point? Just wondering.

And btw, do we really just need 1 added cold damage to make hypothermia work? I thought you needed a decent amount of damage to chill/freeze enemies, so it okay with just 1 cold damage?

And does hypothermia work against all bosses? or do you need to replace against certain ones?

Elemental Overload is stronger for self cast Elementalist as they not have a very high crit chance (no power charges, very little points to invest into crit chance on the tree) and most of the damage comes from shock effectiveness in this build.

Hypothermia works against bosses, as they can be chilled and it works with just a 1 point of cold damage as elementalists are guaranteed to chill because of beacon of ruin.

The enchant of choice should be "Arc chains an additional time" as it is a more multiplier instead of just an "increase" for the other enchant.

For map clear you could use ice bite with it or added cold, but to get most of it you have to recolor it to have 1 red / green socket instead of 2 green ones to use empower with it.
Hi, I'm a fairly new in poe but I'm trying this build and all is going well thus far, appreciate your work.

But I can't get to use Shield Charge, not with a Staff equipped. You say that you use staff as it let's you use Shield Charge but for me it just does't work. I meet the stats requirements for using it, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Hope anyone can help me.

use vorici "guaranteed 1 red socket" for 4 vaal and 4 chromatic. On average it takes 10 attempts to get 1r 1g 4b, it's not that expensive.

150% increased Effect of the Buff granted by your Lightning Golems enchant is almost as good as +1 arc chain - in my build it's 0.3% DPS difference between them. Helmets with golems enchant are usually a lot cheaper.
However, 40% increased Arc Damage is a lot worse (-2.2% DPS compare to extra chain).
I'm unsure where to look but here's my question,

I'm using Clear Mind Jewel and have no use for Clarity. What gem should I replace it with? Ideally its gonna be slotted in with CwDT and Enfeeble on a 3-slot equipment

EDIT: I'm also using Essence Worm for Wrath.

The build does not use staff's it is either Wand's or Sceptres (one-handed Mace)

I made this same mistake before.

So a one-handed weapon and a shield.
