Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary

How we feeling about single target damage in mid to late endgame (yellow to red maps)?

I'm guessing that the build isn't SSF friendly anymore with the build enabling helm. Whats the point of freezing instead of shocking? Can you play the build without the helm?

I read over the Updates, looked at the Notes in the POB, so I don't think I missed an explanation on this... I apologize if I did.

1.) Staffs? -- Did you switch over to Staffs for a Reason? Just to be different? I'm assuming it probably has alot to do with Unique Staffs, or a New one... But have you considered sticking with Dual Wands? They've been buffed pretty significantly it looks like. Just curious if you considered that or if maybe you rolled out some of this due to your testing prior to 3.9 Patch Notes..?

2.) Awakened Gems? -- Awakened Spell Echo looks really sweet... But, I'm no where near the Veteran at this game as you are. Is a Level 20 Spell Echo better than a Level 5 Awakened Spell Echo? Are there any considerations for Awakened Spell Gem swaps? It's possible you haven't addressed this yet just cuz in POB the New Gems aren't in there yet... but just curious.

3.) Uniques? -- I know the Purpose of 3.9 ARC this go round was to refocus on the Build being Budget, and Newbie Friendly. And I also know the purpose of the build isn't to MAX or to make it complicated. I greatly appreciate that!!! However; I was curious if you might be willing to work in a Tier that includes maybe a Veteran Setup? The Tiers you have for example are -- Low/Med/High, but maybe a Veteran Tier? That includes uniques? Ideal setup? IDK. Like I'm curious if we can get ahold of This or That, or Inpula's for example, I'd assume it's still the best Armor for the build and would be Ideal if we can get one.... That sort of thing. Re-Reading again to make sure I didn't miss anything, you do kind of Mention Uniques, didn't mention Inpula's though so maybe that Armor is just not ideal or even needed for the build anymore. I guess that surprises me, but you do include useful Uniques and give a good break down over the Low/Med/High Tiers. So you can disregard this Topic Item.

Great Updates as always, I'm so torn... I've played Arc every league that I started PoE, so I think that's about 5 or 6 Leagues now. I wasn't going to this League, but the Buffs to Arc, the Buffs to Wands, Awakened Gems, all of this has me excited to keep riding with Arc this League if not as League Starter, definitely as a Primary League Build...

I appreciate you for staying up on the Build and Updates, I know it's not easy and takes alot of your time, and everyone loves to criticize... I hope my questions/comments don't come out as negative.

You're a HUGE reason why I've been able to Improve with each League, why I enjoy the game, and why I have stuck with it.

Ty Sir!!!!

I thought endgame bosses cannot be frozen as their action speed cannot be lowered below base value. Am I wrong? If not then what is the point of freezing vs shaper/elder/guardians/conquerors? Wouldn't shock help dramaticaly phasing them quicker?

After 16 hours i'm finally done with the update, will go over everything again tomorrow and check for errors or typos, also adding anointments.

Thanks to everyone for your interest in this build and especially everyone who takes their time to answer questions while i'm busy or gone!

To those that are worried, 7k combined Life + ES, another 2k from Steelskin and 40/30 block before Rumi is pretty easy to reach, and things like Soul Tether and Queen's Hunger are an option. Shaper DPS gets to 2m+ without much investment so no issues there either.

very nice update on te build and with the new awaken gems will be insame (that if u get our hands on them and if we can use more then one).

Thank you kind sir!

I haven´t really played with the three Dragons Helmet so far, so this is just a guess but i assume that Inpulsa doesn´t work, because we arent shocking with our Ark anymore Herald of Ice seems to have taken Inpulsa´s place.
