Will this build still be real good for 3.5?

I am also curious, but I couldnt find anything about arc in the patch notes. Inpulsa is getting nerfed to 5% enemy life aoe but it doesnt change the old version. This is by far my most favorite build.

I’m a total n00b and this will be the first season I play in so bear with me here. In the leveling guide for this build it said to keep arcane surge at level 1 for now. I read ahead and it did not mention when you should start leveling that gem. So I’m curious when you should start leveling arcane surge?

I was bored and made a cheat sheet for you, hope it helps!



Used some formulas so feel free to check my math

Should be
no support other than arcane surge = Arcane surge req < Mana cost * 1.1
Arcane surge and Increased Duration = Arcane surge req < Mana cost * 1.5

Anyone made the switch to poet's pen with this build? Same class, ascendancy (choices are different but still elementalist) and the tree is pretty close to the arc/teleport PP build I played. Seriously considering starting out with this and then if it kicks butt, great! But to switch to PP later is also great.

A different question- has anyone compared this to the hierophant arc totem build (the most popular one).

So far I've used the arc totem as a starter then got enough currency to go for the poet's build. I'm wondering if this might be a better league starter than arc totem or no. Thoughts?

Holy crap this is so useful :)

Thank you!

Has anyone pushed this build to its limits? I have yet to decide a build for the next season and I can't choose between this and a poet's pen arc + lightning ball that someone managed to push up to delve depth 1000 solo.

TLDR: What's is the builds potential compared to Poet's Pen arc.

I got to depth 819, it was possible to push deeper, but I was kinda bored of delve already.
On that depth monster damage is pretty insane, I was dying ~ on every 3rd node :D
For example: you kill a zombie pack, you step on that chaos cloud after its death - you are dead in litearally 1 second. And in betrayal it's gonna be harder because they nerfed inpulsa's.
WOIoIoIoIo got to depth 1000 with this exactly this build, I have some changes in tree and using dual wield instead of shield, but it's not very significant.

You can check rankings and gear on poe.ninja. Apparenty, it's only 2 people that got deeper than 600 with this build.

Am I looking at it wrong but it looks like around 9 people hit the 600ish mark with 2 well over 600

isn't that exactly what I said?

Hey there. For Ahn's Heritage and the fragility jewels, how are we gaining endurance charges?

Are you planning to use The new Storm Brand Skill for Arc Build?

Brands Look Cool.
