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

Seems like this build has changed a ton since I last played.

I really don't understand why the switch to using the staff. I get that it gives +2 to arc's level but you lose so much damage compared to using 2 good 1 handers.

It can wait, but do it before the final boss in Act 10..
Also it kinda normal for the first char to not be as good, because you know, you are learning the game :)


Thanks for the answer! The game (and this Arc build) is great fun and part of the fun is the learning (and getting better hopefully) :)

I have difficulties to do the Cruel Lab, dying in like 5 seconds in the 3rd fight. I dont even understand half the mechanics in that fight, after spending like 2 hours watching videos, reading guides and poelab. So my questions are:

- can I just skip it for now (I am in Act7) and do it later or its mandatory?
- is there any good, simple to understand guides/advices about cruel lab? (I just started to play recently, its my first ever character and first cruel lab)
- is there any cheap "faceroll" build for beginners? I dont mind if its not good at end game, I just would like to get some experience with the game. (Being viable in SSF would be a great plus)

I came from D3 and this game feels way too hard for now. Spamming 3-4 skills and 4-5 flasks together while dodging everything (and also standing at the same place to be able to cast/channel) is just a bit too big of a stretch from D3. I am really thinking about to start again with something simpler, like a Necromancer or a tanky melee build...


I had trouble too. Just wait for a couple (or one) days to give it chance to reset. When I was doing the lab there was a mob spawning with Izaro that had the buff "Casts reflect damage" or something like that. I would instantly pop. Watch out for it.
can this ring replace the helmet?

It's an interesting ring, but it's not good for this build because converting 40% of your lightning damage into cold nerfs all the lighting penetration we're going for. I have a feeling the freezes wouldn't be as consistent, either.

You do lose out on some damage mods, though the best one (elemental damage as extra chaos) was nerfed pretty hard this league, anyway. The tradeoff is, as you say, an easy way to get level 26 Arc, which is a big damage boost. More importantly, it allows us a 6L golem setup. The golem buffs are really strong--the best thing Elementalist has going for it right now--and we need a 6L to have 4 different golem/buff types with any kind of survivability. Empower in the 6L also increases the strength of their buffs, giving us more overall speed, damage, and mitigation.

Total downvote.
Veteran player 8000+ here and i see for first time that you need to install some extra SH*T software only for this build.
Seriously, you just kidding ?

And talking abouth health of the game for new players when you showing installing ANOTHER unnecceseary software?

This must be real joke.

Hi! i would like to thank you for this wonderful build! this is my first ever character that has reached 500k dmg withou buffs :D
According to PoB with all buffs, flasks etc i could do in theory 1850958.3 dps against the shaper, but this League i did not drop even a single Yellow map :c
I've made a slight change to your build: instead of getting cobalt jewels or eyes i've taken the "whisper of doom" notable (+1 curse), thus enabling conductivity for an extra 200k dmg

this is my current equipment

any suggestion on how i could improve it? getting into boss fights without shields is very risky, it is my only concern.


If you're worried about survivability, I'd look for a higher life roll on your Assassin's Mark ring, amulet, and boots, and would drop the Voidbringer gloves for rare ones like Enki recommends. I'm at work and can't see your whole passive tree, but I would wager that if you have as much DPS as you say, you're better off anointing Whispers of Doom onto your amulet and using the skill points to get jewels with good life/ES rolls.

Also, definitely ditch Kiara's determination, you're way better off with Cinderswallow Urn or even a chemist's silver flask so you can use it twice (probably the better option for Awakener fight).

Finally, if you're going to keep using those gloves, you may as well move your HoI setup into it so you can get some benefit from the + to gem level affix.

If your unbuffed DPS is literally 500k+, you're doing very well on that front; focus now on life, ES, and damage mitigation.
