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

New to PoE but whats the breakpoint on % spell dmg/lightning dmg vs #-# lightning damage.
Should i take that xx-100 lightning flat? or go for % based. Assuming i can only get one. |

" If you got some currency you should take them, pretty cheap right now at 1C and the spell damage is great. Last edited by Brammes#4864 on Mar 23, 2019, 7:41:06 AM

" Make sure that added flat lightning damage has to spells in it otherwise it won't affect Arc damage. Percentage based damage is great later on, not so much early because of scaling. |

" Hi, there are several things you could work on. I imported your character into path of building to get a good idea of whats what. I suggest that you take a look at the gear section of Enki's first post. He gives a lot of good advice, and also has a link to a guide on how to get those items. I'll list the things that are not optimal below: - You don't need grace socketed - Your mortem mursu claw does not give you any extra damage with arc, Check Enki's first post (the gear section) - You do not have much life on your gear - You are not resistance capped! Incoming elemental damage does a lot more damage to you than it should because of that! You're mainly feeling squishy because you have very little life and resists. Really take the time to read Enki's first post,e gives some really good advice! You could replace:
Spoiler
- Geofri's crest helmet (no life, does have resists, but very little Energy Shield)
- Tabula Rasa body (no defenses, extra socket gives nice damage but since you feel squishy...) - gloves (no life, no resists, very little ES) - Ralakesh boots (no life, only cold resist) - Amulet (only 27 life, no es, very little damage, no resist) - Eagle coil ring (okay resists, not enough life) - Lori's lantern (no life, okay resists, its low life properties are not very useful to us) - belt: this one's good! Your jewels are okay, you could get some with max life% on them. Your flasks: Hybrid flask is okay-ish until you get an Atziri one The other flasks could use some better mods, and quality to 20% for more healing & duration. (Remember to only use glassblowers baubles on white flasks, not blue!) You took points on your skill tree in an order that's not entirely optimal. You could change: - get rid of Static blows and its two points leading up to it - get Cruel preparation, - get Faith and Steel - then get Mysticism. To get to these nodes faster, you could remove your bottom right and middle jewel nodes, or just wait until you gain more levels. If you choose the former, move your cold damage jewel to your remaining jewel slot. I hope that helps! Feel free to ignore bits and pieces as you see fit, just take the time to get as much life and resists on your armour as possible! |

Hello guys, so I'm trying to craft a dagger like the one that Enki have in the Gear part of the guide. And I managed to do this:
And my question is what have I done wrong that I dont have room to craft the lightning damage? Is there a way to get it right now? Thank you! |

Enki - Thanks again for this. It's an awesome resource.
For anyone willing to answer questions: I'm still stuck in old ways from last league--on standard and just haven't been able to pull the trigger on going with ES and EB yet. But I have two questions: -Anyone willing to provide advice on how to craft up daggers like the ones in the guide? I'm pretty new--started about mid-way through the last league--and definitely still struggle with the crafting system. -Anyone willing to say why whirling blades is so much better than leap slam? Losing 80% elemental damage from using daggers instead of sceptres seems like a huge downgrade, though obviously people have concluded that it makes sense to do. |

" Gain #% of Lightning Damage as Extra Chaos Damage is a Prefix i guess, actually 1 Elemental as Extra Chaos Damage is already good enough. This is what you should aim for Last edited by eternity5575#4497 on Mar 23, 2019, 10:39:42 AM

Hi guys! This build has an amazing output dmg (at least at T10 maps) but I'm having some problems with the damage input, mobs/bosses kill me pretty easy with 1-2 hits. I'm saving my money for a 6L Inpulsa, which is expensive AF but, can you guys help me with my gear upgrade? I built it with just 40c. Atm I'm over 140-150c, but except for Inpulsa I really dunno what to upgrade and what i should be looking for. Here is my actual gear (not playing Wrath)!

" Get rid of Tabula and replace it with a rare, but with your current budget I'll say you could get Shroud of the Lightless and remove Lightning Penetration Support since Shroud already has it. Replace +Elemental Damage on Attack Skills mod on your dagger and ring, it doesn't affect Arc Damage. I also suggest replacing your amulet mod to Increased Lightning Damage.
