actually with staff +3 to lightning gems, inpulsa with double corrupt +2 to duration and +1 to socketed, lvl21 arc, lvl4 empower gives us lvl31 arc and 10 chains, if u add helmet with enchantment "Arc chains an additional time" it will end in arc chaining ELEVEN times, thats massive, did they remove mana leech from wrath watcher's eye tho?

Lol. Now I'm curious how well this would work. Gotta do it on standard though so you can also get the +3 chains helmet enchant.

With the extra base damage from the arc levels, that would be approx. 440 extra base lightning damage on average (level 21 145-824, Level 31 328-1858). Or put another way, the increase is about the same amount as a level 24 arc. Interesting.

or

Dual wield wands to get all the nice mods and still be able to hit a level 30 arc for an average base damage increase of approx 395 with 12 chains.

Would the +3 lightning gem staff apply to our Wrath? If so, (level 23 19-306, level 26 23-375) approx 30 base damage there as well.

Almost tempted to play around with this on Standard. Have a +3 chains enchant helmet and onslaught boots there, but would have to pick up the corrupted Inpulsa and +3 staff. Have everything else though. Maybe towards the end of the league I'll have a look. Sounds like it might be fun.

Yes, they changed watcher's eye...

The mana leech while affected by Wrath is now Energy Shield leech while affected by Wrath. These two changes do NOT affect existing items, and cannot be obtained with a Divine Orb.

So, Legacy ones on standard stay the same though.

Extra thought,gloves.
Socket the arc gem in a pair of double corrupted (+1 socketed gems, +2 socketed duration gems) voidbringers (+1 socketed elemental gems)
-or-
Socket the arc gem in a pair of double corrupted (+1 socketed gems, +2 socketed duration gems) rare glove with the delve suffix +1 to Level of Socketed Intelligence Gems (faceted fossil)

Using the other gear you outlined above and a +3 chain helm to get a level 32 arc with +13 chains.

To really trick it out like this could get quite expensive though (another reason to do it on Standard).

Anyone know how you could get the arc level up to 36 for another chain?

After lots of comparing i've decided to stick with mana for 3.8. EB is only better at high investments, but way too gear restricting and the advantage of running two damage auras is offset by having to use a shield. Infact, I could get 20-30% more damage out of the mana version while keeping survivability equal.

Will start working on the update later this day, can't promise i'll be done today but it will definitely be finished before 3.8 goes live.

I would guess getting Elemancer would be worthwhile. Throw in an Anima Stone in one socket, and you could have one of each of the old golems at 320% increased effectiveness and be elemental ailment immune. You're dedicating 5 gem slots which is harsh, but all L20 gems grants:
- Lightning: 37% attack/cast
- Flame: 84% increased damage
- Ice: 126% increased crit chance
- Chaos: 16% phys res (21% if you get the gem to L22)
- Stone: 441 hp/sec.
- Liege Bonus for 5 golems: 100% increased damage
Obviously these could go up if socketed in say a +3 helm.

Just to see...if all but Lightning were in a +3 helm, all L21 gems, and 3 Primordial Essences + Anima Stone (5 gems and 4 jewels spent, 6 total golems at 460% increased effectiveness):
- 21 Lighting: 56% attack/cast (would have to reach L25 to increase the buff)
- 24 Flame: 117% increased damage
- 24 Ice: 179% increased crit chance
- 24 Chaos: 28% phys res
- 24 Stone: 711 hp/sec
- Liege Bonus for 6 golems: 120% increased damage

Extra 3 jewels + 4 gem levels grants:
- 19% attack/cast
- 53% damage
- 53% crit chance
- 12% phys res
- 270 hp/sec

@Enki I do not plan on starting Arc, but may pick it up mid league. I consider these changes a massive buff to the Elemancer Ascendency. By making yourself elemental ailment immune, you can dedicate 2 flask suffixes to tankiness or simply swap for a different unique.

Sounds good Enki, can't wait to see your results ;D

ye Golems could give rly strong buffs, but you'll have to sacrifice either elemental reflect immunity & life leech or that Beacon of Ruin rendering your shock & chill quite low i guess (not sure how high Arc could shock with its single hits vs life, guess its quite low)

You can get all those Golems to lvl 23 with global spell gem increases on weapons, aswell as clarity lvl 23, wrath up to 25 (woo next 1% dmg xD)
Orb of Storms 24

@Dspayre - Wrath's flat damage only counts for attacks ;)

Hey, I made an Wayback Machine archive of this page as it existed a few minutes ago. Just in case people want to refer to the old build later:

That's indeed useful, thank you! Will start updating the thread now.

Hey Enki, you should try dual fishing rods again.

Hi, ENKI.

I am a Korean user.

I'm not good at English, so I'm not sure if you'll recognize this article.

I first started the POE with your ARC build in the 3.7 league.

ARC skill reminds me of some old game skill. D2

It was smooth. At first, I spent a lot of time trying to understand the game system and your build.

However, there were times when it was difficult because it was not a high build of DPS. That's what the T16-map boss did.

And while I was waiting for the 3.8 league, I saw one video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN0XIKR9vJc

This is the address of the video.

https://pastebin.com/eJtMqs0F

This is the POB of the build in the video.

I was surprised because I saw an incredibly high DPS.

Of course the build has given up a lot of defenses.

The reason why you choose a wizard in an RPG game is because you're not defending it.

They often choose wizards because they prefer aggressive aspects.

So I want you to show me a higher DPS direction for your build.

I started the first POE in the 3.7 league.

I achieved the challenge of 40 on my own with your build.

Thank you.

And I will start with your build in the 3.8 league.

The 3.7-League was no more than a tutorial.

So I'm looking forward to the 3.8 league.

The league will start at 5 a.m. in Korean time.

I think I should go to bed early today.

3.8 Update is done now, found a compromise that allowed to still keep Acro/Phase Acro in the build without giving up too much life, mana and damage. Mana Sustain may need some adjustment, obviously can't test it yet.

-----------

@Sir_Brucible: Fishings Rods are two-handers, sadly.

@cialdfjqm: Elementalist would be the wrong choice for a high DPS approach, you're better off with Assassin for that. That said, you can still get more than enough DPS to quickly kill Guardians with this build, being able to check your character would help to see what you could've improved.
