When i switched over to the trap setup i dropped inc duration from my storm brand/arcane surge setup. Mainly due to coloring my helmet which needs replacing eventually anyways. But man is it noticable going from 7s of arcane surge down to 4s. I noticed blg_realize doesnt have inc duration either? Do you really cast storm brand every 4 seconds to keep arcane surge up?

" I completely missed that as a viable location. I had considered the Scion jewel socket we gear as best slot for it, but that is actually good. |

" Yeah, running with ventor and Biscos, dps still good just lacking some life and mana..5.2k/1.7k. |

" thx for the link , its very helpful. prismatic and pristine was just an idea, noob here :) Is 150% Lightning Golem enchant the only worth? Or Arc Damage 25/40% and ARc Chain additional time - also good as enchant? Is the golem enchant better because it counts for traps + arc + storm brand, and not only arc like the other enchantments?

" Thanks I'll try that. My gear is very meh, so these will be decent upgrades for me. I never really crafted before, your daggers are the first ones that made me try. But now I'm addicted to alt spamming. Are Jewels worth it? Level 83 hypnotic eye. I saw Enki wrote to prioritize effect of shock>life>lightning damage to spells. So I could alt the first two, then regal rinse repeat? Or would that not be worth it. Also I read the wiki on shock effectiveness, but it's not entirely clear what it means in practice. Currently my shock effectiveness is 89%, what's a good number to aim for? Thanks for all the help, makes this game a lot more fun |

Seems like my post was lost in the overall "what to upgrade next" issues :) Here is jus a repost of it:

Hi Everyone, espieccialy amazing Enki :)
I've just came back to PoE after around a year break (last time played Bestiary league). And again, i loved enki's build so much, that i'm using it again :) But there are a little problem this time (i started yesterday, only act 2 now so very early game): - What skill should be used to red mobs/ bosses fights? When i was playing, there were two options - Storm Call or Ball Lighting. Both were very nice from my point of view (prefered the one with ball lighting, as it fells easier for me) Now, in this build there is Storm Brand. 1st thing i noticed - there can be only 3 at same time. 2nd thing - only one of those can be attached to mob (1 cast per mob, i got that i can attach to 3 diffrent mobs). But i noticed, this is doing so low dmg, that i'm pretty terrified :( Is there an easy way to attach Ball Lighting into this build by just switching to any 6L weapon (and what weapon + gem combination would be working fine)? I've noticed, that Storm Brand is used mostly to trigger Arcane Surge. In "old times" it was triggered by Orb of Lighting. I'm pretty afraid of "early - end game", like Atziri (the one with mirror) and me casting Arc on it :O Also, slower projectiles + ball of lighting was allowing me to constantly DPS while also dodging bosses... to sum up: Is there a way to replace Storm Brand with Ball lighting/ orb of lighting combo, to have something "stronger" to fight bosses, than only Arc dmg? And which iteam/ gem setup would work best with such replacment? If this is pointles, and Storm Brand is better way - could someone explain to me why/ how is it? In previous versions, Arc wasn't good enought to face bosses, why now it is enought? Could someone (maybe even Enki) help? :P |

Enki literally just posted to stop cluttering this thread with what to upgrade next and that he posted an updated guide to follow ;)
