I've never raged at this game, but I'm getting there.

First of all, this is in the wrong forum section.
Secondly, 5k life and 2k es is not the same as 7k ehp at all. You would need an item like Shaveronne's wrappings and both es and life recovery to call that 7k ehp. Without that, your ehp is only 5k. That's hella squishy without deep eva/dodge or armour/block. Thirdly, Metamorphs cannot be frozen atm. There goes your primary defensive mechanic. I suggest you look at a new build that does not have hybrid ehp. Hybrid ehp is a noob trap and only certain items or experienced players make it work. Look for full es or full life buids that have good sustain and at least 2 other forms of defense. |

I'm getting pulled in different directions here.
I realize hybrid Life/ES has its issues. However, am I going to invest more ex into this build, or go for something new? If the build is truly so bad as to require a reroll, why hasn't there been continuous feedback in their thread of such? |

" hehe, it's the opposite "new players nee to die often and early so they get used to te difficulty", i think i will take a long break from forums if this really happens. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill! Last edited by vio#1992 on Jan 2, 2020, 2:32:53 PM

I found this post very entertaining for some reason.
I also find it hilarious that me sitting at 6.4k HP and cap res just get one-shot all of the sudden. GGG should implement a system that tells you what killed you. Sometimes even famous and experienced streamers while playing get deleted and do not even know what killed you. Whenever you die it appears "<NAME> has been slain". It would be nice to have an extra layer that says "slain by Crazy Snake" or "slain by Methamorph Black Explosion". Still having fun though. Cheers! |

" You will always get mixed reviews as to what is "enough EHP" or what is a "good enough build". Honestly, many players LOVE enki's arc witch because overall it's been great for leagues where boss DPS wasn't the number one thing (such as metamorph). I don't think your build is bad, but I do think you will need much more investment in your defense when you are trying to self cast a spell that requires you to stay within a certain range of metamorphs. My suggestion would be to try storm brand or maybe Arc totems where you can place your dps down and then focus on dodging, etc. I personally don't think that self-cast Arc is great single target (Which is almost mandatory this league). If not, your defenses suffer in a battle of attrition where you are fighthing a boss too long and you will die regardless. I would suggest trying storm brand, arc totems, or arc mines and see how those feel. The scaling for storm brand should be relatively similar to what you have that's why I suggested that first. It may feel better when you don't have to constantly press a button to continue DPS. Last edited by Prizy#1622 on Jan 2, 2020, 4:41:20 PM

Nah, you can get used to it, I came to terms with the fact that I won't lvl beyond 94 this league - mobs in T14-T16 with juiced atlas have ridiculous DMG.
8K ehp MoM totem build BTW, sometimes I get offscreened by white mobs xD |

" It sounds like Arc isn't going to scale well single target to begin with. What's another witch build that I can invest in? I've got 150 regrets and roughly 5ex. I'm also leveling Icestorm-CWChanneling Scion, but it sounds like it'd have the same issues. |

" " Good for you. But even if you are able to do this, it doesn't mean you were supposed to. A guy killed uber elder with lvl 36 character - is this means everyone are supposed to kill him at level 36? No. Red maps are for lvl 90+ characters with high life pool and defenses. Suicidal glass cannons doesn't count. retired from forum because of censorship and discrimination
(also poe2 bad) |

" Just reroll. This is the wrong league for this build. If you want an easy way out with 4 ex, just roll a summoner. The budget isn't enough for a high-end hybrid / CI skell-zombie variant, but you'll easily reach 7k life and 2-3 mil shaper DPS with spectres. |
|
" oh come on, have faith. I have 5k health and reached 95 without dying even once. I do avoid some bosses with invulnerability phases though. But every metamorph and conqueror (except for Sirus ofc) is food. |
