Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
" There's a lot you can do here. 1. You need to get an Inpulsa's ASAP. Even a 5L will improve survivability over the 6L you're wearing. 2. Replace the unique belt with a Stygian Vise with life and resistances. 3. Replace the ring with one that has Assassin's Mark, life, and resistances. 4. Replace Oskarm with rare gloves that have life and resistances (and faster casting, if possible). (Ideally you can also get some Mana on 1-2 of the above items.) 5. Replace your wand with a better one, then your shield with a better wand. Here's a very rudimentary search you can use to find decent wands: http://poe.trade/search/tamosihamoutoy Find one that has at least 3 desirable explicits and an open slot for crafting. I think you can do all of the above for not too much currency. |

" thats the thing. it is not even shown in pob. if its fire/lightning/cold penetration then its shown in damage calculation but not this. this made me doubt on whether it do increase my spell damage while affected by zealotry..hmm weird |
|
" Thank you so much! A couple of questions, i already have 75% res of each(except for chaos) what should I strive for? I will do the rest as soon as I get some more currency. Trade on PS4 is crazy expensive |

" My pleasure! Yeah, from what I understand, the PS4 realm's economy is totally fucked. It's so much more difficult to take this build to the next level without easy access to stuff that's difficult to find in-game, especially Inpulsa's. 75% elemental resistances is usually fine, unless you're in a map with elemental weakness and/or up against a boss with elemental penetration. I suggested it on your gear because I knew you would lose some resistances when replacing your body armor and that a Shaper ring with Assassin's Mark is likely to have less total resistance than the ring you'd be replacing. Also, you ideally don't want to rely on your boots for resistances, so you want to be preemptive about making sure that you're not reliant on them to cap your resistances.

" My guess would be that the critical strikes part of the mod is an important difference--it's not global like the lightning penetration mod we want on weapons, but conditional, rather. Yes, PoB could theoretically roll that into the overall DPS it gives you, but it could also accurately account for our extra damage from shocks with that total, yet it doesn't. It's incredibly inclusive, but not absolutely comprehensive. Did you test your physical attack damage DPS in PoB with and without the WE? Assuming you have any elemental damage whatsoever added to your attacks, there should be at least a slight difference if PoB is indeed able to account for the WE in its calculations. My guess is that you won't find any change there, either. I seriously think it should work with this build. I think PoB just isn't capable at present of including it in its calculations. |

Are those mods good for someone? Can it be sold? Or I can safely wipe them and get back to crafting? |

Should I use a six link socket rasa or a 5 socket impulsa broken heart and if so which gem should I sacrifice
|
|
" That question was answered by WorderMostFoul in the last page of the thread. 5L Inpulsa is much better than Tabula Rasa, and you should sacrifice Unleash |

Well, I think I finished my character, unless I find a mirror or similar haha. I want your opinion about my gear, if there is something that could be upgraded with not excessive cost. I didn't do Shaper/Uber Elder yet, but I hope I can deal with it.
My stats are: 4,6k life (313 ES) 1,9k mana 108/80/107 Elemental resistances 88k dmg in hideout with 2 golems (and 106k with Arcane Surge activated) I died twice killing Red Elder in T14, but I think it's more about practising rather than gear |

" Looks to me like you've got most of the boxes checked. The ring and belt would be better if you could get another good affix or two on them, but they can get the job done. Your weapons would be the best place to improve upon, I think. The only real deficiency I see with your gear is that there's no increased cast speed anywhere. I chose profane wands to multimod because we're kind of starved for cast speed this league and having the extra 28% cast speed from the two implicits helps a lot with both damage and mobility. But you've definitely got what it takes to do all the content. Your trouble with Red Elder was almost certainly something that can be fixed with practice, as you said. |
