Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
" Your character tab is private. In general, of you don’t have a mana leech Watcher’s Eye, then you will want another source of mana regen: mana leech gem, Mind if the Council, Eldritch Battery, etc. If your mana pool is not at least 43% of your life, then damage can oom you with MoM. This can be offset with #% damage taken on hit gained as mana over 4 seconds. |

@Enki, if you are still thinking about upgrading the leveling section, I have two other leveling guides for you to look at:

" both point to the same thread |

" Hi thanks for your reply. My character tab should be public now. I got myself a mana leech Watcher's Eye, but only a cheap one cause I couldn't afford one with the other good modifiers. I don't really want to replace my helmet at this point, and am looking to get Mana Regen through other ways like jewels. Should I run both Wrath and Clarity when using this jewel? I seem to still run some mana issues with this combination. |

"Thanks, here is jeipei’s Fast Leveling Guide. i’ll Also correct it on the OP. "I want to first point out I am not following Enki’s Guide this league, so I cannot say the direction he took. Any Watchers Eye with lightning damage leeched as mana with Wrath (even the worst roll) is more than sufficient for mana regen. Drop Clarity with it. If Wrath is in an Essence Worm, youncan still use Clear Mind. Note: Your rarely will want to fully level a Clarity. Increasing levels provide less benefit for the mana reservation. |
|
" Thanks. I also wonder about skill gem setup. I don't have more space for the 4 linked sockets that goes about debuffing enemies with Cast when Damage taken, Blind, Armageddon Brand and Purifying Flame. I run the 4 linked Immortal Call setup instead. Which is better, what should I take? Or can I take Cast when Dmg taken, Blind OR Armageddon Brand OR Purifying flame for a 3Link? Which would be better using? Or should I entirely drop Immortal Call setup for this debuff setup? Any advice is appreciated. |
|
" With this advice on mind, and a lot of gear upgrades, I finally managed to solo Uber Elder on the last days of the league. Thank you very much! And especially thank you Enki91 for this guide! The amount of detail is impressive, and the guide has been a lot of help from league start to endgame. The levelling and crafting advice sections were especially helpful. I really hope that you keep on writing these guides in the future, even if this build will be unviable. |

" Reread Enki’s gem section. He spent a lot of time and effort creating it, and I’m not going to repeat him. Both the CWDT setups can be either manually cast or automated via CWDT gem. To cast Armageddon Brand you will be required to briefly stop casting Arc, but Immortal Call is instant and therefor can be cast in the middle of any other action. I’ve personally grown accustom to manually casting things and would drop both CWDT, but that is me, not you. If you wouldn’t proactively use the skill, you are better off automating it with CWDT. Enki’s build gives room for both to be automated via CWDT, but if you manually cast then replace the CWDT with Efficacy on Immortal Call and either Increased Duration or Faster Casting on Armageddon Brand. And again, drop Clarity. With your Watcher’s Eye the mana regen holds zero value. Also, your Immortal Call is too high level for your CWDT. |

Enki and others interested...
I mean to move my Bluitch build to the PS4 side forum continuing build help there but putting it off. Bluitch is level 41 and just starting Act 4 but is building passives you recommend in Act 5. I am also at the point following your guide where I will be doing the Labyrinth first stage where after you suggest ascending to Elementalist. Based on your concerns I wonder if I should hold off on ascending that path or if that is still the only viable path whether it works or not?? It looks like, from some comments, that the strategy intricacies are going to "kill me" in the future? I wish I could skip them and just "hack & slash" away. Oh well...we'll see. Thank you.

Hi Enki,
just had to drop in and thank you big times for this gorgeous beginners guide! It was a vast help to get into PoE & enjoy this great game with a high-end-fun-to-play build. Actually it was so much fun, I gotta start another Arc next league - lets see if I can top my first one ;P (yes I did read your concerns, I pray it remains enjoyable) I guess it's a quite basic clone of yours, but If anyone is curious - chars are public - I'm proud xD Greets!
