Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Hi Enki,

I just want to say after playing PoE off and on your build is the build that definitely made me really enjoy the game and I just gotta say thanks and I really really appreciate the amount of time you put into the guide.
@Enki

Dude, you're a boss for keeping this updated every league. Gonna be playing your build again b/c i had so much fun and success with it last league!! Thx again for your efforts!!

Quick question for people who played this in Delve...

Did you hit the wall at red map bosses?

I played PoE in beta and after release when Act 4 was the top and then just came back a month ago. Played this build and made it up to tier 11 or so maps and felt like it hit the wall pretty hard. The issue was never my dps either but rather how easily and defenseless I felt to bosses. All that said I know im still learning a lot and probably need to grow a little and learn how to micro manage for each encounter so I am looking for advice as I think im going to start the new league with this again.

TIA~!

When Agnerod West states +2 to added lightning gems, does that mean it would affect Added Lightning Damage Support and Lightning Penetration gems as well as Arc? If so I will strongly consider swapping to this and using a second 6L this league. I'll need to check with PoB to be certain. That would be about the equivalent of a L4 Empower and +2% lightning penetration.

Alternatively you could use a Pledge of Hands with Empower to replace Spell Echo. I think the overall damage would be less than Agnerod West, but you get 100% more mana. I can’t look at much right now, but I believe that equates to about 1000 EHP.

Enki, Any thoughts?

Didn't have any issues myself but granted, I do know all the bossfights fairly well. I'll provide more general tips about fighting bosses with the 3.5 update, that plus getting used to Decoy Totem timing should be enough to keep you alive.

Yeah it will affect any gems with the Lightning Tag. If you go for this, I would highly recommend to use Empower, Lv21 Arc + Lv4 Empower would be enough to reach Lv26 Arc for that 9th chain. Other question is if it's worth it compared to a rare weapon setup, unless of course you really want to try it.

This.

I tried many different builds over the course of the past 2 leagues, and NOTHING compares to this build. The guide itself, regardless of whether or not you use the actual build, was invaluable to me really understanding the game, even though I still feel like a total noob...

Thanks Enki for all that you've done, and continue to do for the community!

No, it was fine in SSF even, where I lacked some quality of life items.

Given any thought to working Storm Brand into this build?

Yes i'll be looking into it, waiting for the Lv20 Gem Info.

Is there any reasonable way to make this as an ES build instead of life?
