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

I got serious question, how do we don't get bored in this game?
For 3 days I was pushing hard with exp and following every leveling section in the guide. I managed to get 66lvl playing like 4-5 hours per day.

But after these days Im like, meh "again I need to just run and spam arc and easy kill everything."

How can I have some fun in this game?

Should I spend more time on looking on poe.trade?

I have a currency to buy almost every gear but a thought in my head telling me "what for?" What do I do it for? I don't even know what are the rewards for this Flashback Im playing and what will I do after it ends (for sure I will not want to play again and following a guide again).

Im missing some knowledge what can I do, maybe some crafting? idk

all I do is just follow the leveling section because I dont even know what else I could do, and all I do is just push the lvl like some pro

Maybe the game just isn't for you or you're burned out. There are a lot of other games in this world and it's not wrong to play something else instead.

Awesome guide.

You mention we need 18% reduced mana cost to run

Wrath, Enfeeble, Blasphemy and Discipline.

I have covered the nodes in the build but couldn't see where you are getting further reduction to enable all at once (Ie I can get all but wrath to activate before I get the no more mana deal).

I had a look through the suggested gear but couldn't find it on a gem or an item. Any pointers?

Also I noticed my whirling blades etc seems very slow now since going to MoM (but stayed same coming back) I thought I was lagging, but it's like it won't always trigger. (same with other skills, like there's a queue) I do have both flame dash and Whirling blade set to Always cast without moving so I don't know what I may have done :)

Thank you

You have taken all the nodes, but your gem setups are so messed up it's beyond belief. Why would you put your Arc setup into your boots, limit it to 4L, when you have a 6L armor? And then you place your auras into your 6L armor and link it to Advanced Traps and Decoy Totem? It just doesn't make any sense. :D

WorderMostFoul might be on to something. It could be that the mana multiplier from Advanced Traps is messing with your auras and that's why it's not working. It's imho the only explanation if you have all the reduced mana reserved nodes.

Make your gloves 4L and then take a bunch of chromatics and re-color everything. Set up your gem setups properly. Throw away the Herald and maybe the Decoy Totem, make room for Blind and Onslaught to be linked to your Storm Brand etc. etc. Just have a look at the gem section in the guide.

You'll be surprised what a damage boost you get from making your Arc 6L. And throwing your LS traps will be more comfortable, too, once linked to Advanced Traps. Your Storm Brand will also be much better once you link it to Blind and Onslaught.

edit: Wait... am I even looking at the correct character? You have two Enki's apparently. One in Synthesis, one in Flashback. Which one isn't working?

Sorry started messing with links last night trying to figure out and logged off once i got sick of rolling back.

The Flashback is the one in question.

Will take into account your recommendations and give it a shot.

Thank you :)

Edit, whoa was definitely late, re-read gems section and its like it's a different guide :P Think I was glossing over / wanting to hang onto gems that were for leveling only.

Thanks all.

Looking through the thread, I saw some discussion on ignite. Do we benefit from say jewels that increase ignite %? Would anyone mind shedding some light on what ignite can do for us (if anything at all). Also if a jewel says adds fire damage do we benefit from that (even though we aren't using a fire skill)? I am definitely still noobish. Thanks to everyone who has been commenting and offering pointers and tips.

The only reason we would ever care about ignite for this build is if we're using Stormfire (unique ring). In that case, increased chance to ignite would be beneficial. However, this isn't an optimal setup for us to pursue--we DEFINITELY want to be chasing an Inpulsa's, and Stormfire is irrelevant if you have one.

If a jewel says "adds x-x fire damage" (without "to attacks" or "to spells"), then yes, that damage is added to all your spells (and attacks). The mod would behave that way no matter what type of gear it's on except for weapons. The benefits of added fire damage to this build are limited, though. Lightning damage is far preferable because it benefits from all of our damage multipliers on the rest of our gear/passives.

Hey, @WorderMostFoul

I got me some new low budget gloves, an Inpulsa and I'm using that Stygian Vise I had laying around now. Res are all capped, although I didn't reach 109% with everything, like I wanted. I'm still at roughly the same amount of life now (4150) and my ES dropped from 3200 to 2200. Which seems to be fine, although I have to play some more.

Now that I have my 6L Arc, I threw out Unleash. It's hard to make any comparisons to it, especially since PoB doesn't take it into account yet afaik.

Anyways, I threw in Added Lightning Damage instead. At level 20 it'll bring my tooltip DPS in HO to ~74k (with Unleash it was ~58k)

Now I saw that you're using Controlled Destruction instead. You think it's better than Added Lightning Damage?

I did play Elementalist Arc in Delve (following your guide), i still stop in from time to time to check it out. Your guide is probably the best out there. Keep up the good work!

Can someone help me with what to do with Orb of Storms? It says to get it, but can't see where to actually use it in the guide. 2 mentions:

"Get Orb of Storms and Passive Skillpoint in town"

then later

"Replace Orb of Storms with Storm Brand"

But nothing in between. I might just be daft and missing a detail. Doesn't seem to be a reason to use it over just spamming Freezing Pulse in Act 1. Just throw it into an item and cast as a defensive measure? It's not a big deal overall obviously, but trying to figure out the general mechanics of the game.

Thanks for any help. Relatively new player.

OoS is like a mini totem. Cast it at a cluster of enemies, which hits them with Lightning and so has a chance to Shock and increase the damage you do, then use Freezing Pulse to take them out.

Once you get Storm Brand, that's more effective and you swap out OoS for Storm Brand.
