‣ Optionally get six more Arc gems and level them in your secondary weapon slots

SIX MORE ARC GEMS? Im confused, i never seen a quest where I can take from a NPC six same gems.
And also why should I lvl up in same time 6x arc gems in my secondary weapon?
What is it for?

Yes, if the guide tells you to get those four gems, get those 4 gems.

Optionally, you can get yourself six more more Arc gems and level them in your secondary weapons. You don't get them for a quest, you can buy them from Nessa on the 2nd page (look on top of the window, when you talk to Nessa and click on "Purchase items", there should a tab "2" with skill gems)

You don't have to do this, it's optional. The reason is so that you have seven level 20 arc gems later that you can corrupt with Vaal Orbs. There's a probability that one of them will turn out to be a corrupted Level 21 gem.

Ok thx Cendrake, sorry for that but I have another question (Im a perfectionist, I can't ignore that)

-> I didnt find a info which gem should I get from Nessa, one of the first quests from beginning: Elemental profi sup, spell cascade sup, infused challening sup, lesser poison sup, summon phantasm on kill sup.

Does it really matter? or should I get a green one and use it for reciepe with iron ring to make topaz ring?

Do I think good?

Tried it and didn't like it.
Also my Focus Spell doesn't work with the new Combo Zealotry and Enlighten Support, and i don't know why.
Definitly recognizing the Defensive shrink, so, i will rather play the more relaxed playstyle.

Thanks for the info tho.
Best regards <3

I guess Enki doesn't mention it, because it doesn't matter, yes. We do not plan to use any of those gems that you get as a reward in this case. So you can pick whatever you want.

Hi, first thank enki for great build.
Anyone here think about play Arc crit ever? I attempt to play Arc crit base on Enki's build in standard.

Here is my character in standard: darkpantwitchs with gear below



White maping i switch to one dagger and shield to use shield charge. Only dual weilding for bossing.

Here is pastepin for level 95 with dps goal: https://pastebin.com/gnmuh7F3

anyone has suggestion to these setup? thanks.

sorry for my english not good enough.

Is this only me or this path to Eldrich Battery (throught minion damage??wtf??) is the worst compare to another patches I went throught?

And yes I have read FAQ

"

Q: Why does this build invest into Minion Damage?
A: We take the Spiritual Aid Keystone, which applies "Minions deal #% increased Damage" and "Minions deal #% reduced Damage" to us.

But this node in passive tree doesnt have any info about reduced damage to US...

THis keystone is only for like zombie builds.

Anyone can explain?

For next 10 lvls i dont even need to spend points (they dont give anything except Int and jewel socket), maybe they changed passive tree/nodes and there is no more reduced minion dmg??

I think you may be misunderstanding Enki's intent. He's saying that mods that apply increases and/or reductions to the damage our minions deal (to enemies) also apply those same increases/reductions to the damage we deal (to enemies). This only pertains to damage we deal, not damage we take.

Almost all of the time, this will be a benefit, since most mods affecting minion damage are increases to it. Perfect examples of this are the nodes in the passive tree around spiritual aid and in the middle of the triangle right above our start point; they can also be found as mods on items, like the implicit mod on a bone helmet. Given how big and complex PoE is, I'm sure there are plenty of instances of a debuff/mod that results in decreases in minion damage, and those would in fact decrease our damage, too. I don't believe they're something we would encounter very often, though.

Hopefully that helps?

Wait, what :O wow, so after I take Spiritual Aid - all increased minion damage also means = reduced minion damage we will take? Thats insane. Im sorry I didn't notice that, but it doesnt says clearly that it works like that. I can only aggre due to "Increases and reductions to minion damage also effects you" - so that means all "increased minion damage" we take from passive tree = means = more dmg I do to minions with my skills

It just takes any increased % damage that would have been applied to your minions (we only have the golems in this build, so minion damage would be useless on it's own) and instead applies that to your arc damage output instead.

It only applies to minion damage, not other minion mods.

Nice then!
For now I love this build, im at the beginning of act 3, im 28 lvl and clearing really fast everything, never died once lol.

Also I got two unique Lifesprig driftwood wand for lvling + Nomic's storm strapped boots ( I hope its good combo)

btw.
Anything should I know before taking Eldritch Battery? I understand that due to taking this I will be able to run a lot of auras because mana will not matter anymore compare to Energy shield I will have... But what is wondering me that I will just lose Energy shield after I spam my all skills. + "Energy shield protects mana instea of life" - this part I dont understand. + I will have 50% less energy shield recharge, I dont even know how I will be able to recharge my energy shield or even use my skills If i will have so low ES due to arc spamming + ES recharge can be interrupted from hits . I dont even mention the part when i will have full auras and almost like 5% mana and after I take mind over matter (MoM), 30% of damage will be take from mana (so that means it will be almost nothing to take from that)

Thanks for the great guide, I enjoy this build a lot even at lv55.

One question, I die a lot when fighting Act Boss. My life is about 1.4k and all resistances 75, except chaos, is that the reason? So, I need to craft +life to my gears to improve my character?

Thanks.
