Would two Lifesprigs be better than one Axiom Perpetuum for leveling?

Also, would flame dash be better than lightning warp now that it's been buffed? It's practically my favorite skill, so I hate the thought of not using it.


I used Axiom and blazed through leveling, I'd say use that instead. I also used warp but without 4-link of it I would probably use flame dash if I was to go back.

Guys in Gems section there are 4, 4gem combos, and we have only 3 slots on our weapons where the hell am i missing a slot? :o Unset ring with Worm? i'm confused.


i assumed you were talking about cwdt+ic+ids+clarity+efficacy? for this you only need to choose 3 if you want it to link to your weapon.
1) cwdt+ic+id (auto-cast)
2) ic+id+efficacy (selfcast)
3) cwdt+ic+id and clarity (meaning u have to replace other 4 link gem)

enki's just a guide on the gem setup for optimal usage, you still can mix and match yourself to suit your gameplay.

For the unset ring, the best is essence worm ring (unique slot ring) in which you can slot wrath gem in the ring. wrath gems add substantial lightning damage to spells. since its slotted in essence worm ring, the unique modifier of the ring "socketed gems reserve no mana" can pair with clear mind jewel that add up to 60% increased spell damage if there is no reserved mana.

sorry for my bad english and hopefully it answered your confusion. others can chime in if i interpret enki's guide wrong.

can someone look at my character [enkisarcwitch] in my character profile and tell me how I can get better gear to run t10+ maps

does the blind for colarious wand stack with the blind gem?

or just have one or the other

enkiarcwitch


you were talking about corona solaris wand? if you are using that then there is no need to use blind gem anywhere in the equipment.

your equipment seems solid (with inpulsa) shudnt be a problem running t10-t14maps. even mine without inpulsa able to run till t14 map. havent tried t15 and above maps though.

best watchers eyes for wrath? crit, penetrate or increased damage? to combine with damage leech as mana? thank you
I remember playing this build long ago (returning from years away). I farmed up some currency and learned all the new mechanics and now Im starting her out. Always loved arc. Its party time =) Thanks for keeping her going enki.

Arc was always my favorite spell since beta haha.
Right now i'm still too attached to my Quicksilver flask to change it out of my regular setup. I might have to change this when i get up to higher tier maps, but for now it seems to be working well while helping a lot with clearing speeds. Since i have no problems with movement i've also changed out LW for Flame Dash (at least until i can get my hands on the head enchant) and i've decked out the IC gem setup with all the duration supports.

I was wondering, what flask would hurt the least to give up in favor of the Quicksilver?

That seems a little counterintuitive, as a quicksilver flask's greatest buff is to lightning warp speed!

When I finally got my hands on an Atziri's Favor, I mostly mitigated the loss of my quicksilver by rerolling my silver flask to have the "of adrenaline" suffix instead of "of curing". It's not quite as fast, but is still a big boost to movement speed and lets you fit Atziri's in, which helps both DPS and life sustain quite a bit.

Just my two cents!

That is pretty nice! Shame about the local lightning damage mod, though.

Dagger is one way to go, though your best bet if you have the currency is probably another one like it (offense) or a tiger hook like it (defense).


The local lightning is part of the topotante mod, it comes with the 15% lightning pen, which is 5% more than u can normally roll and 2% more than you can craft, its just the 1 prefix so it dsnt matter that its there at all.

The other option for a topotante roll is 80%ish increased lightning damage and x to x lightning damage to spells, but 1) im not finding any of those, 2) its far less lightning spell damage than you can craft yourself, even if its more %lightning damage, and 3) you actually screw yourself getting it cause the only prefix you can craft on it is 13% ele pen, and then u have a spare prefix slot and absolutely nothing even remotely useful to add to it but a 40mana craft.

Im looking for a tiger hook with the same topotante mod but nothing showing atm, Shaper dagger with 20% ele to chaos is more damage according to pob anyways.

I'm also willing to sell the sword if anybody wants, theres no other like it with 35% multi implicit and 15% pen (softcore legion)

Ah, that's my bad; I didn't look closely enough at the mods. That is exceptional, though It That Fled's increased spell damage/non-chaos as extra chaos hybrid mod is preferable to just pure increased spell damage.

Not sure what you mean by 2% more than you can craft. I'm not aware that you can benchcraft that mod (global lighting/elemental penetration) at all. You're not thinking of attacks with this weapon penetrate x% elemental resistances, are you? Because that mod wouldn't work with a caster build. When it comes to swords, we're stuck with 10% cap via fossil-crafting, unless we're lucky enough to find Topotante's on the right base like you did. ;)

A Shaper dagger will definitely edge out a tiger hook for DPS, if you only care about damage. The dodge chance is the only reason why tiger hooks are desirable. But if you're going to go for pure DPS, you might as well fossil-craft another rapier like this one, from what I understand. You've probably seen it, but if you haven't, take a look at Enki's crafting miniguide at the bottom of the OP.

Yea my bad the craft on swords is the attacks pen, so 10% is the max.
If i can find a tiger hook with topotante's ill grab it, but the best base ive seen is the lower version (4% dodge not 6%). If im going to the trouble of crafting might as well hold out for the 6%

I only had (and still have) rank 2 of the spell damage + non-chaos and it completely skipped my mind to just leave the craft till later when i had rank 3. 2x rapiers or 2 shaper daggers are both worse than dual wielding 1 of each, so if i cant get a tiger hook dagger is def the way to go.
