Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
" You're winning the numbers game, but you lose out of crit which means less consistency that you need for freezes & shocks(but mostly freeze). |

" i try replacing it with unleash and it gain about 37% more dps while my crit chance reduce around 5%. but of course i wont get to enjoy the 3 seal unleash on first shot. is there anyway POB able to calculate unleash perks? really want to see which have better dps |
|
" wait. i have "Add 8 to 160 lightning damage" on my wand...this does not add to my lightning spell damage?? fml. i thought it meant "Add # to # lightning damage to wand / weapon / attack" does not add to spell. shyt. how about "Add #% lightning damage"? |

" Man, does anyone here bother to go back a few pages and read through this thread before posting? It's been like a frakking merry-go-round of identical questions that are answered either in the OP or in the last few days. Seriously, people, this stuff burns Enki out. Per my calculations, Unleash provides about 30% more sustained DPS at 20/20, slightly lower than 37%, but WAY more burst damage DPS, which is ultimately more powerful because we are constantly repositioning during tough fights. It also hits way more enemies at once while mapping. It's the better option. |

@Ping_666
Flask Setup, Essence Worm + Wrath instead of CotB, Boots and Amulet with more life, Weapons with more spellcrit focus, atleast a 5L Inpulsa's and either Mind of the Council or Watcher's Eye with Mana Leech.
@StormHUN
1. LW doesn't gate us into specific weapon choices and has no cooldown. We're not really starving sockets so there's no real downside to the skill taking up some sockets, it's way better than having to get CDR on every single slot, passives and helmet enchant and still running into the CD of Flame Dash or Frostblink. 2. This is unfortunately something this game is balanced around, especially with Elementalist getting little to no defenses from Ascendancy. 3. Static Blows is a good cluster at a horrible position. If it wouldn't require two travel nodes to get there, or if there would be any good nodes for us around then I would've taken it, but as it currently stands the other nodes are just stronger in terms of total investment needed.
@Diabolis66
As good as PoB is, it's still all only theoretical. This is a crit build, we're investing 19x passives into crit and put lots of focus on that with our gear to push both crit chance and multi for huge damage increases, and all this investment is completely wasted everytime we don't crit. So even if CD instead of Crit Strikes appears to deal more theoretical DPS, losing the base crit and % increase and infact even getting a 100% reduced crit chance modifier is one of the worst possible choices you could make with a 5% base crit spell.
@WorderMostFoul
1. I wouldn't drop Cinderswallow Urn, the flask is insanely strong. That said, Omeyocan are definitely endgame worthy if you want to push both dodge chances as high as possible and can take the small hit of missing a life roll. 2. Anything above 7% of your mana will be fine. Keep in mind your base mana regen increases with your maximum mana increasing. Another thing to remember is that reduced recovery/no regen maps may require a reroll, or different boots. 3. A good mana regen% roll, mana + 4 mana/s craft on ring and amulet and Watcher's Eye with Mana Recovery were enough for me to have positive mana regen with Omeyocan. The recovery mod doesn't affect the mana/s in your char sheet, so with that mod it will be way more than you can see.
@LerianN
You're choosing 3 of those gems, depending on how you wanna activate Immortal Call, how much you wanna buff it and if you want to run Clarity.
@sethyboo
Vaal Grace/Wave of Conviction + Inc Duration, while keeping the CwDt + Purifying Flame gems.
@Séika
Use Hypothermia if you want more single target, or Unleash if you want more clear.
@SauceyKay
Looks like you're playing a completely different build?
@Schultzy0123
This comes down to personal playstyle, nothing that I want to gate people into. What I do is warp > arc > warp > arc and so on, while keeping relevant flasks for the situation up.
@niki_spam
Mind of the Council or Watcher's Eye with Mana Leech will fix this issue.
@BilboBagEnd
Wrath requires an Essence Worm, you simply should not run it without. Pretty much all your gear except for the Tabula Rasa and Hate Hold ring need an upgrade. Get some more levels in Blood Aqueduct, then check the Upgrade Order Guide and Gear Section.
@RoyZto
For the CD vs Crit Strikes question, see my reply to Diabolis66. The wording for flat damage on weapons doesn't include "to/with attacks", which is why i've specifically pointed that out. In case of flat damage on weapons, it needs to say "to spells" to work. Not the most intuitive given that flat damage without specifically pointing out "attacks/spells" on any non-weapon slot applies to both, this is where GGG could improve something. twitch.tv/enkivt

What about my
Rarity: Rare Blight Knuckle Coral Ring -------- Requirements: Level: 40 -------- Item Level: 63 -------- +26 to maximum Life -------- +25 to Intelligence +61 to maximum Life +76 to maximum Mana +16% to Fire Resistance -7 to Total Mana Cost of Skills this doesnt need upgrading, does it? also why cant i run wrath without it? whats the downside to wrath? it just seems like extra lighting damage with no cost or downside? why not wrath from level 1 in lionseye watch?? |
|
" Ah, thank you so much, Enki. That is all extremely valuable information. I totally forgot we can run Clarity at a low level without destroying our mana pool! This changes everything... |
