Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary

Still struggling with t14-t15 map bosses. I think my setup is good but I cannot take even 1 hit without dying from certain Bosses. Can someone take a look and see where I may have went wrong in gear and gems.

Much appreciated.

Just crafted this with 2 regals and like 70 alterations lol,

what should I craft on it with the bench?
Trigger a socketed spell with stormbrand/culling/onslaught?
or should I craft cast speed / Lightning damage to spells/ non chaos damage as extra chaos damage?

Can you provide a source for this? Trying to confirm whether or not this is the case. One of my rings has adds x-x cold & x-x lightning, trying to figure out if it applies. First time I've heard x-x (no elemental) is the only way it applies.

Thanks.

Don't use storm brand in it, you don't want to lose crit chance on storm brand because of controlled destruction.
Crafting mods are probably multimod, flat lightning damage to spells and cast speed.
"11% of non-chaos damage as extra chaos damage" prefix is pretty much the same as flat lightning damage to spells. But you can't craft hybrid spell damage/extra chaos because you already have spell damage on your dagger

you have too much mana reserved by lvl 20 clarity. Rather lower it to lvl 8 or 9 or turn it off completely and get clear mind jewel (you have mana leech watcher's anyway)
You have very low cast rate, it's probably hard for you to react in time to major threats of high tier map bosses because of that (it's hard to stop casting arc and use movement skill with low cast rate because of spell echo).
Just start saving money to craft a good daggers with cast speed.
And yes, you can't face tank bosses with this build, you have to learn their mechanics and react properly

I never did the multicraft mod craft, when I craft it can I just use the bench more times ? Or how exactly does it work? Also do I get the craft from the pale court always? Or is there only a chance to get it? And what gems should I use in the weapon :D? Sorry asking alot^^

multimod is a suffix, you craft it first and then you can add unlimited amount of other prefixes and suffixes on an item (but not more than 3 suffixes and 3 prefixes). In your case you have 1 open prefix and 2 open suffixes. So one suffix is reserved by multimod and you can craft 1 prefix - lightning damage to spells and 1 suffix - cast speed.

And yes, you have to beat pale court to unlock multimod crafting. Or you can find crafting services somewhere (on this forum maybe, try to find a thread with a lot of positive feedback from different people, beware of scammers).

Thank you!
Yes, I DO have problems getting out of the way, it seems like I am stuck and can't move sometimes. I assumed it was because I was stunned or something. Clear Mind was next on my list of things to get. Clarity makes sense also, should have realized that.

To all who help Enki out answering questions -- You are POG!!!

Hello!

Have been playing PoE for more than a month now and this is the first build I have played. Always checking changes and all, and based all my upgrades from this guide's suggestions.

Since Enki removed the mark of the shaper/ elder essence worm combo, I am wondering if it is still the best setup (because I have it already) and if I should look for the rare shaper opal ring.

Hope you can also check out my gear and progress (lvl 94)

I dont know how to paste items here, pls help hehe.
Thank you!

I have some questions I'd like to ask as I've searched the thread and come up empty. My apologies in advance if these have been answered already.

1) When replacing rare gloves with Command of the Pit the guide mentions arcane surge and increased duration are no longer required. What 1-2 skill gems should these be replaced with?

2) The skill gem quality section does not mention the following gems, just wanted to confirm there's no reason to obtain 20% quality and re-level them: both CWDT gems, immortal call, clarity, leap slam, and wrath (used in an unset ring).

3) [aay] Are Doryani's Catalyst weapons better than the Cerberus Limb when one does not have inpulsa yet? [bee] Further to this, does this build make use of elemental proliferation? [c] According to PoB the extra life leech is wasted as the build is already at leech cap. [d] Are inpulsa's always this expensive or is this an unusual league?

4) More of a comment than a question. Watcher's Eye abyss gem seems to be much more expensive than the author expects, with any Wrath based mod it's insanely expensive (the guide mentions to check these first for mana sustain.)

Cheers!

Press C, then go to Offense and click your Arc spell, or Stormbrand. It will have Cold damage listed if you have it on your ring. Unequip the ring and it will go away. Then equip any random blue weapon with cold damage and one with cold damage to spells.
