Just leveled to 100 for the first time playing this build, i changed some things 'cause i don't like to copy-paste builds. It was one of the tankiest char I've ever played. If someone is interested i played with a staff, this one:

I just wanted to pump lightning damage to its max according to the fact that we are scaling shock effect, so no %ele as extra chaos shenanigans. Thank you Enki for this build!

That staff is absolutely dope. I am now wondering if I should've gone for the 7L with my staff instead of the +2 to all spell skill gems, since you could still get Arc to level 26 with the 7L.

Of course, I'm trying the Elemancer variant, so there are more factors to consider.

If I may ask, what are your defenses like, since this is the tankiest character you've ever played? Also, where did you do your leveling? Breachstone rotas?

Great build! Just one question, do we have to help Alira 3 times for mana regen, crit Multiplier and resistances?

No, you get all bonuses from helping her once. You just have to kill Oak and Kraityn to get them.

Cheers mate! Just back to POE, been afked for 3 years

Anyone willing to give some gear advice on my build? I just came back form an older version of the guide, and I'm trying to play in Standard a bit this league. Still feeling a little squishy ATM but I'm adjusting to the Lightning warp as opposed to Whirling Blades. Using a quicksilver flask for movement mostly though. Doing okay in yellow maps right now, but not doing well at my lvl 80 delve content.

I'm pretty sure my crit chance is pretty low for where I need it to eventually be as the last version of this build I followed was not a crit based one.

The eclipse staff looks really nice, does it need to be any specific ilvl?

I am also playing "this" build in standard. But it differs in some fundamental parts of it. Essential of my version are:

1. Eldrich Battery / ES Leech
2. Spiritual Aid for Dmg increases
3. Phys Dmg Reduction with Endurance Charges/ Block ... not going Dodge

I did try a lot of things, everything kind of worked til T16 maps but failing to kill uber elder 4/5 times. I am still trying to craft another shield but with my current setup i am able to kill uber, not deathless but with success in the end.

Main reason why i am not going dodge is, bc it lacks a lot of cast- and movement speed. It just feels so slow. And for me, considering myself as a "poe-speed-junky", it feels much better using Haste as one Aura with Wrath and Discipline.

One of the big parts is, that i am able to reach 241% shock effect. Which balances my "low dps" bc of my weapon.


Setup i killed uber elder last time with:



and a WE with double Discipline mod (ES on hit / faster start ES recharge)

The build definitely metamorphosized quite a bit last league. I can't see your whole skill tree from my phone, but your setup looks likes you've adopted most of the necessary changes in terms of your gems, so it doesn't seem like you should be having any major problems. I think there's a higher-rank craftable weapon mod for spell crit chance than what you have on your weapons, so that's an easy place to start. Also, you'll have better options if you switch to wands, since a t1 spell crit chance roll is better on wands than daggers. What do your in-game Arc stats and/or PoB say your crit chance is? I didn't see much crit multiplier on your gear, so if your damage is lacking, that might be part of it, too.

Also, you really should replace the Loreweave with an Inpulsa's when you can. That will help survivability a lot.

Yeah, I have been trying to get around to replacing the Loreweave for a couple seasons now. I have been using that since 3.4 OR 3.5 haha.

In game DPS is 25k going to 40k when arcane surge kicks in. Spell Crit chance on Arc listed at 49% with a 244% spell crit multi. I just switched my bandit quest today so that should help, previously I had the skill points.

hey fellow arc-friends,

I have been playing a lot of arc witch the past 2 weeks and love it a lot. I would like to have some input on my gear choices and build from the more experienced poe veterans.

also I intentionally did not spec into golem liege and I dont use any golem skill at all. the reason is pretty stupid: I simply dont like them running after me and I just prefer to rely on my arc / orb of the storm alone, being a "pure" lightning mage with no minion shenanigans. (again: not the smartest thing)

I do realize I concede some free dps/dmg reduction with all the golem buffs that are very efficient but I would love to hear from you how I can respec into some different parts of the passive tree.

also not having golems frees up some skill gems slot. Do you have an idea for one more defensive cwdt (cast when damage taken) setup or any additional defensive or utility options?
