Can we have a 3.5 PoB link please? Would really wanna do this build as league starter in 3.5. Thanks !
Hi, for me also interesting to know, should we still kill Alira? Her bonus looks good :)

I can only give you my current PoB, but this gear is expensive

crit multi is useless with elemental overload and we can get enough resistances from the gear. 2 skill points (kill all) is a better option

We will. Enki said he would be back Wednesday and update the guide. There’s very little he can do for a new PoB though when PoB isn’t updated itself. There is also little information on new gems, uniques, veiled mods, and focus skill in order to see a proper build adjustment. The recommended “starter” will likely remain untouched until he can test them. Still, as I mentioned earlier, I like the idea of using the buffed Tempest Shield to proc Arcane Surge and Enfeeble. Granted, that will likely only work. If we don’t remove the shield since they have higher block of dual wielding or staves.

just saw ur weapons are insane :D 648k shaper dps without anything ticked
Hello, Betrayal will be my first league and I've been reading on arc/mine as one of the best starter builds. But I love self-ccasting (mine is no fun for me) so here I am. This build looks really cool.

My question is: I read everywhere that self-cast arc is significantly weaker than arc/mine, but how much? Like, what's actually the content at which we start to feel a real difference in term of efficiency?

Edit: I wrote mine but it might be trap :p

What you have there is not something you should view. It is to be copy/pasted into Path of Building: https://github.com/Openarl/PathOfBuilding
First of all thanks to everyone who put in all the effort to reply to questions in here while I was gone, I really appreciate it! Just gonna go over everything that hasn't been answered yet, except for Delve upgrade questions which are irrelevant by now:

@jeanpaulooo
It's a very good league starter. I've personally started the previous two leagues with this build and will do so again in Betrayal, this time with an even stronger setup than before.

@Jonda
Compared to Pendulum, Liege gives us more total damage and mobility increases under the condition that our Lightning & Flame Golem are up.

@Bosmonster
That's still up to date, two passives are way stronger for us than anything any of the bandits have to offer.

@RealPenguin
Vaal Haste/Grace + replacing Clarity with Cold Snap and using Clear Mind. The Vaal Auras still need to be casted but they do benefit from the Inc Duration gem in the CwDt setup.

@BluEyedDemon
Arc alone is enough, especially with the changes coming with next patch. CwC Tendrils would be a straight up damage loss.

@Deklnu
Smite would complemented this build very well, it grants an aura on hit that gives flat lightning damage and shock chance to the player and allies.

@kimsis
This changes next patch, but not to what I had originally planned.

@Rootsmann
Traps seem to scale single target damage a little easier, and all the trap nodes complement an additional Lightning Spire Trap where imo most of the difference comes from. Selfcast has the advantage of being able to clear faster with an above average setup and having Inpulsa explosions, which eliminates the dangers of certain on kill effects such as Porcupines and leaves no corpses for Detonate Dead. The biggest difference is in the playstyle, some people simply just enjoy one or the other.

---------------------------------

Good to see the build is mostly unaffected by patch notes. I'm a little bit sad about a consequence of the stat stick nerf, if I understand it right it means we can't use Whirling Blades with Sceptre + Dagger which was the planned setup for 3.5, but i've ran the numbers and made some testing and found a good compromise.

Regarding the Inpulsa nerf, this should really only be noticeable at high tier Beyond Bosses and Depth 500+ Delves. I'm more worried that they might have made it T1 Rarity now, time will tell and if so, i'll work around it.

I'll wait with updating this guide to 3.5 until tomorrow, mostly just to get a look at Lv20 Storm Brand and if it gets a place in this build. As always, please save yourself all current information if you plan to play this build until 3.5 goes live.
