Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
|
iam still newbie so pls someone correct me if iam wrong
daggers a quite ok but you should trade the crit and flat lightning craft to double cast speed(chaos craft is ok dont waste exalted for this). When you have some currency (4-5 ex) start looking for a good dagger base to craft, the damage increase is insane (when good crafted you dont waste exalteds). Try to swap the belt against a 1 socket stygian vise, good base and fossil crafting isnt very expensive when you not completly unlucky. 1 Abyss jewell with life or Es or both (depends what youre build needs min 45% ES from live and that is very important cause you stop leeching life and ES very fast and die) + dmg is fine. Dont lose cold dmg to spells when you have no other source! Swap the la Huep of all for a good solid ring ( life ES resistance and when you can +cast speed/lightning dmg) for better dmg amulet. Lightning dmg to attacks on gloves shows me you fossil crafted it. Leave the Metallic better go Pristine Bound (on shaper with shuddering).

I too play on PS4 version, you gotta click circle to equip offhand daggers, maybe thats the problem? I had a little trouble too when i first tried to figure it out :)

- generally, pretty much all of your gear is absolutely terrible
- you're not using two daggers (edit: my bad, you can use Whirling Blades with one dagger + shield, right??) - instead you're using a dagger and a terrible magic shield, which doesn't even give you anything besides a tiny amount of life and some regen; there are not even resistances on it - you're using a likewise super terrible magic armor that only gives you +10 intelligence, doesn't have a lot of ES, no resistances whatsoever and only 4 links - you're using a unique amulet, two unique rings and a unique belt that are all rather bad; you'd be better off using even mediocre rare ones - you picked at least 11 nodes in your skill tree that you shouldn't have picked and forgo nodes that you should have picked, worst of all: - you didn't even pick Eldritch Battery, but also have no Diadem; so you have no EB! This version of the build revolves around Energy Shield together with Eldritch Battery! - I can't import your character into PoB, since it's a Sony account and I have no clue how to do that or if it's even possible without pastebin link. But if I haven't overlooked anything you get: +26% fire res, +98% cold res, +24% lightning res from your gear. Then +12 to all from Holy Dominion, +5 to all from Cruel Preparation; +6 from the Elemental Damage and Resistances node in the Ascendancy tree; you didn't pick Faith and Steel. So this means you have +49% fire res, +121% cold res, +47% lightning res. After part two, base resistance is -60%. Which would mean your resistances are: -11, 61, -13. Not a single ele res is capped at 75 and two are even in the negative. Am I right? If yes, then this is absolutely abysmal. - you're not using Wrath, but still have Herald of Thunder (I mean, you couldn't even use Discipline, Wrath and the Enfeeble Aura at the same time, since you haven't taken the reduced mana reserved nodes) - you're not using the proper Storm Brand setup; your Storm Brand is linked to... another Arc gem in your boots? Why? If you just want to level a gem and not use it, put it into the sockets of your secondary weapons.
Spoiler
We really can't afford to waste any sockets. Since you're not using a Hungry Loop, there's simply not enough sockets for the Lightning Spire Trap setup, the Storm Brand Setup, the Whirling Blades Setup, the Immortal Call setup, the Aura setup, the Lightning Golem, the Decoy Totem, Flamedash and the Fire Golem later on. You can't squeeze all of that in there, plus another Arc gem that you don't even use. Put that Arc gem in your secondary weapons. And if I was you, I'd also put Decoy Totem or Flamedash away for now, whatever you think you need less. Replace Herald of Thunder with Wrath and link Blind + Onslaught to Storm Brand. You'll have to move around gems for this, recolor some sockets with chromatic orbs and use a handful of orb of fusings to create links.
- you're not using the proper flask setup... at all; you don't even have a flask with "of Staunching" in there that could help you when bleeding; you're using 4 life flasks and a hybrid flask... take a look at the flask section in the guide again. There are also instructions on how to craft the flasks. - you have no jewel in one of your jewel sockets, why not? It's a minor thing and kind of nitpicking, but get something in there that does even remotely anything for you at least. So far it's just an empty jewel socket that does nothing for you. Bottom line: Sorry to break this to you... I don't know what you're playing there, but it doesn't really have anything to do with this build. It seems, as if at some point you decided to not follow the guide anymore and e.g. spec into nodes in the skill tree that you should've never taken and completely disregard what the guide says. Take a look at the guide again. Take a look at the skill tree. Take a look at the gem setups. Take a look at the gear section what is recommended there and what stats you should look out for on your gear. And get everything in order. It's really no wonder that you're getting one-shotted and completely rekt by everything. edit: If you want, then whisper me ingame. I still have the two Heartbreakers, my old Necro Circlet and a Leather Belt. It's also far from good gear, but still better than what you have there. At least you get more resistances out of it. edit2: Wait... you're on console, right? How much currency do you have? You can't tell me you have no currency. Because by the looks of it, you haven't spent a single scroll fragment on anything yet. Are you doing your Chaos Orb vendor recipe regularly? Surely you must've picked up a few chaos by now or things you can trade to other players? You should really invest in a Tabula Rasa or some rare 5L Vaal Regalia, rings and ammy. Word of advice: This might've sounded like a lot and pretty devastating. But don't give up! We all started there. I certainly did. Took me a few leagues and characters, digging the guides and wiki to get a grasp of what is going on in this game. But the community is great and most people will happily help you where they can. I followed the leveling guide as much as I could until end story. I need to get better gear and have limited resources to do so. Nothing in the leveling guide suggests getting rid of all the links I have. I've used hundreds of chromatic orb to get slot colors right. I have 10 chaos orbs. Leveling guide I must have misread it said eldritch battery didn't bypass hits to shield. Edit - my current setup is a result of experimentation while waiting for help. I followed leveling guide religiously until now. Last edited by Razersblade#9371 on Apr 29, 2019, 10:46:31 AM

" Upgrade your amulet first. You should be able to find something with 80+ life, 20% increased maximum ES, and faster casting without a problem. Look for one with other damage mods listed in Enki's guide, obviously. Next, get a pair of sorcerer boots. You're missing out on quite a bit of ES by using a suboptimal base type (for this build). Those are the easy ones. Next step is to improve your ring setup. If you're trying to maximize survivability for higher-level mapping, get a Mark of the Shaper and an Elder ring with enough resistances to compensate for both the rings you replaced. If you want to do Uber Elder in the near future, get a Hungry Loop for storm brand setup and upgrade your second ring as much as possible. That should help your survivability quite a bit. I'd focus on your daggers after making the other changes I just suggested--killing enemies really quickly also helps survivability--but they're fine for now. Hope this helps! |

[/quote] Use chaos vendor recipe (Google if you don't know it, it will be listed a million places) to get more currency quickly (really easy by farming Delve or the Memory Nexus). Then spend that on trading for items as close to the ones in the original guide as possible (endgame setup). You should only need to spend a few chaos on each piece to get decent stuff, and then it will feel like a whole new character. |

Finally got the 2nd multimod dagger! I have very strong DPS now, at the cost of attack speed and thus whirling blades speed :( But aside of that, I'm ready to take on Uber Elder now, I just need to gather the maps first... Now I'm also concerned about the flask setup, don't know what flask would be suited for defensive buff against Uber Elder. Here's my flasks for now: I used last slot for utility, like that granite flask over there is for phys reduction + curse removal, and also other flask with curse removal or resistance flask for specific boss.
