Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
|
New to the game on the PS4 and was told to check this build out.
I've just crafted the wand as it says to in the act 1 guide, do I just have to keep trying my luck with the crafting until I make one with 3 linked blues? I've made 3 now, out of orbs now and no luck with the sockets. Thanks for any help. |

Regarding the gem setup situation for Uber Elder I feel like I have to apologize, that was just really bad planning from my side. If you're not using a Hungry Loop setup, best you could do is dumping CwDt/Storm Brand and Flame Dash, but that would probably require some chroming or replacement gearpieces.
Another thing that you can try for Uber Elder is just replacing Blasphemy + Enfeeble with Zealotry/Wrath and Enlighten. However, unless you're using a Devouring Diadem it requires a Lv4 Enlighten to work, or atleast 2% reduced Mana reservation somewhere on gear. Tried it myself and works really well. Regarding HC viability, i'd give the current version only very limited HC viability. It's relying more on gear to be "good enough" than I had anticipated, and even then it's a bit risky. Sucks to say but unless you really like the build, i'd recommend something else for HC in the current patch cycle. All of this has a positive side tho, i've learned from the mistakes of this current version and worked out a setup that's just straight up much better and simpler. Now it's time to refine it and hope the ideas survive patch notes, however after years in this game i'm not too concerned about that as none of it is overpowered. Only thing that could happen is that GGG butchers even the last somewhat reliable non-Ascendancy form of defense. Let's hope not. -----------
@subcutan
I'm 99% sure that is just local damage for the minion and won't affect us.
@GJacaa
You can activate the auras and then put something else onto those keybinds, should be the same on console. Daggers are mandatory for cooldown-less movement with Whirling Blades, however I heard those movement skills don't feel that well on console so I guess if the current setup works for you, keep at it. There's also a helmet enchantment and cooldown reduction on belt/boots and the Dark Arts cluster to make Flame Dash feel better.
@darkwolf004
Basically what you'd want on any other Abyss jewel. Life, Shock Effect and/or Lightning Damage to Spells. Hinder is a nice defensive tool, but you'd need to stack it on jewels for a better proc chance.
@Charest
I can see a few things. You don't have much Life and ES on gear, also not sure if your resistances are capped, so those would be the first things to improve on. Your CwDt + Immortal Call are way too high level, and you're missing quality on most of the suggested gems. And last but not least, the flask setup is suboptimal.
@Trash_Man
Easiest way is to just check drops or vendor (refreshes with each level up) for an already 3L wand/sceptre with all blue sockets. Alternatively you can also alter them with Jeweller Orbs (socket amount), Orbs of Fusing (linking sockets) and Chromatic Orbs (coloring sockets), although except for chroming it's probably not worth at this point.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.
I already have a 3L blue wand but in the guide it says to craft a +1 Lightning wand. I've made a few but none with 3L blues. Is this really important at this point or should I carry on with the +1 Lightning wand? Thanks again, I'm sure you must get a lot of mundane questions for noobs. |

" I just spent 2 chaos on a pair of gloves with Commandment of Reflection and can confirm that the increased minion damage does NOT apply to us. I'm sure GGG thought of this when coming up with that enchantment and realized how OP it would be with Spirtual Aid; that's why it's worded so very specifically: Creates a clone of you that attacks with your weapon. Base duration is 5 seconds 140% increased Minion Damage (NOT "minions deal #% increased damage") 150% increased Minion Maximum Life Trigger this Spell when you're Hit Minions deal 500% of Damage (again, conspicuously NOT "minions deal #% increased damage") Was definitely an idea worth testing, though! Enki, no apologies necessary. I personally have already swapped the helm gems for for Zealotry and Enlighten and have switched back to Hungry Loop just for this fight, as you suggest. It makes it viable, and damage is definitely not the real problem here; I just am not good enough at the fight to get through it without randomly dying 6 times. I am glad you see the plight of those of us who are not absolute gods at the Uber Elder fight like you are. :) And I'm really looking forward to the next evolution of this build! It's insanely fun to play, especially when compared with other top builds, and I would gladly play an Enki arc witch every league. |

@Charest
Just a quick look at your gear/gems/jewels shows some areas that could help. You lack HP on a lot of your gear. Your elder ring has 0 hp. I know you're trying to get the bonus damage from the mark of the shaper but you're gimping yourself hard if you're dying. The 2 damage to attack mods on it do nothing. Replace it, imo. Your gloves and your boots should have ES on them. Look at the minimum requirements for gearing up and follow those guidelines. Gloves want: 60+ Maximum Life (/, C) 100+ Energy Shield (/, C) Resistances (/, C) Boots want: Affixes 60+ Maximum Life (/, C) 100+ Energy Shield (/, C) Chaos Resistance (/) The bolding is Enki's not mine. This is the minimum you need to meet the needs of the build. You lack quality on your whirling blades/faster casting. Quality-ing them gives you more attack speed, which means you move faster. This helps you move faster, which means you dodge faster, which means you take less damage. Your CWDT/IC setup is way too high level to work properly. It's not functioning as it should. You are taking unnecessary damage. This is part of your problem. Buy new ones and keep them level 1 and 3 respectively. There's more but that's enough for now. |

@charest
The others have pointed out a few things already. I noticed something which hasn't much to do with your squishiness, but rather damage: You don't use a golem? Are you planning to move the Storm Brand setup into a Hungry Loop to make room for it? |

When should we swap unleash + hypothermia?

Finally upgraded to inpulsa, im shredding through the mobs and extremelly happy, but now im lacking defence, could anyone recommedn what i should upgrade next for more hp/energy? Currently sitting i think at 4800hp and 1900es.
Thanks :) |

I recently had an empower gem drop. Should I consider using it with this build, or sell it?

This is my gear, in hideout I have 30k tooltip and maybe twice that buffed in a map. What enchantments should I look for in uber lab for our gear pieces? Also, is there anything that could improve my setup? |
