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

what is the best choice to replace Clarity and Mana leech once I have Watcher Eye and Clear mind jewels?

Question...When we start getting our gems to level 20, and trade them up for a quality gem...how much dps loss/ how long to level does it take? I imagine I would only be able to do lower tier maps for awhile?
I was lazy in past leagues and just bought them, lol because I was afraid of how long it would take to re-level them. Which is what I am worried about now and the reason I am asking. |

Is this a good jewel? Cost me around 200alts and 4 regals to craft it, and it will enable me to finally use hypothermia " I replaced mana leech with culling strike, it's really good to finish bosses/syndicate easily. Not sure what to add in the clarity spot though Last edited by GevinK#2067 on Jan 3, 2019, 7:33:10 PM

" Hey, I'm not an expert like some others here but your gear looks a little like mine so here's my 2cents. What is your upgrade aimed at? Improving DPS or survivability? Your chest looks fine, maybe you can find one with even more health. A 6L Inpulsa cost close to 8ex in Betrayal right now so it might take a while if that's your goal. In fact for a more immediate upgrade, maybe get 30% move speed boots and also shaped gloves with "socketed gems supported by blind". These are cheaper to get and improve mobility and survivability. Otherwise, I think daggers are next for you. craft one according to https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1147951/page/862 where jlh165 nicely summarized what Enki, blg_RealiZe and others have mentioned about crafting. After that should be watcher's eye before inpulsa. Hope that helps! |

Hi guys,
I crafted both of my daggers except last suffix double damage vs trigger a socketed spell which I find pretty QoL with culling/onslaught. Double damage gives me 80k dps while trigger enchant makes the gameplay pretty chill what are your thoughts? btw I link arcane surge with enfeeble. |

How exactly do i link my gear here?
And in terms of gloves with supported by blind, what do you link in the gloves? And lastly, lets say ive spent a good bit so far and in the meantime while saving up for 2 shaped ilvl85 daggers, what can i get to upgrade my dps that wont break the bank? For reference, i am running t11/t12s, have inpulsa and essence worm. Bone helmet and 2 daggers are my next upgrades i feel like. But will take me a good bit to get another few ex.

" Awesome idea about the helmet, thank you! My question is: does the base type matter other than ilvl 84 and Shaped? I see you using a Solaris Circlet, wondering if there's any reason for this in particular. I was thinking an armor or combo armor/ES base would be better for my 3R1B Cold Snap setup. Cheers! |

" base doesn't matter, we don't care about armor or ES in this build anyway btw, -9% lightning res mod is only fossil crafted, so you can only roll t1 flat lightning damage with alterations (which is still a pretty good DPS boost) p.s. lab enchant is very important. Or, at least, use a shaped bone helmet for crafting with 40% damage implicit Last edited by blg_RealiZe#1295 on Jan 3, 2019, 10:53:25 PM

" My recommendation is to flat out purchase a 21/0 Arc as soon as you can. For all your other quality upgrades do it as soon as you are able. You go through those first levels very quickly. 1-15 probably requires half the experience of 19-20. I’ve honestly never really noticed any dps loss as I upgraded. " Oh dear, now I feel I should mention one of the most important aspects of crafting I forgot to mention in my little summary. Q U A L I T Y ! When your dagger is still a white, drop 4 blacksmiths on it. Your crafting rolls will thank you. Here’s roughly what I have on the previous post:
Spoiler
PerkyPsyco’s mini guide is linked to the gear section, but it can get a bit hidden. The gist is:
(1) Buy a base (ilvl 85+ shaped dagger) (2) Scour it, quality it, transmute it (3) Spam alterations until you get “16-20% elemental damage to chaos damage” (3.5) Standard Only Augment for “8-10% lightning penetration” (or vise versa with step 3) (4) Regal it (5) Anull undesirable stat(s) (if undesirable) (6) If wrong stat was annulled, rinse and repeat (7) Craft multimod (2 ex craft found in The Pale Council) (8) Craft double damage, lightning damage to spells, cast speed, non-chaos damage to chaos damage, hybrid spell damage + added chaos damage (9) Divine to preference The guide recommends getting maxed t1 lightning penetration instead of double damage. This may be better or worse depending on the amount of penetration in your other gear (thanks to blG_RealiZe for testing). However, it is much harder to get both those in the alteration spam. You cannot get double damage in standard. The guide also recommends flat spell damage as a craft instead of lightning damage to spells. I’m fairly certain you are better off with lightning damage to spells, but check PoB to be certain. Note: t1 crafts for cast speed and double damage are an exalt each, t2 crafts are only a few chaos. Craft to suit your budget. Remember that there are verified crafting services in the forums for any craft you may not have. I used one on my dagger.

I've noticed a ton of people in here trying to craft GG daggers who don't even have their wrath leech Watcher's Eye yet. Please rememeber that your life is dependent on your mana pool as a MoM character. You need mana sustain to play this character. Watchers Eye is one of the keystones to this build.
It should be your first major purchase. Dead players do zero dps. It doesn't matter if you have the best crafted dagger in the game. |
