What do I do with the 4x arc gems and Increased Critical Strike?

Corrupt them at lvl 20 for a chance at a lvl 21 gem (don't corrupt the one you're using).

So I've read the main post some more and I cannot figure out why the build wants to use this unique helm over just using a shaper helm with lightning damage to spells and an inpulsa. Can someone explain why this is better?

It's not better but cheaper, especially early league when most people play, and easier to get in SSF. Also opens up the chest slot for something better.

Hi im new to the game and im trying this guide in hopes of learning the game in a better way, im in the part where you tell me to get the lighting golem and flame golem and link them to the support skill, however i can only use one of them at a time, is that normal ? if so isn't it a waste since i can only use one of them, thanks for everything so far !!!

You won't be able to use more than one golem at a time until you do the labyrinth and take the Liege of the Primordial node in the elementalist ascendancy passive tree.

Enki, I'm trying out going back to shock and basically doing a hybrid with your 3.8 build. It's taking me awhile to get the gear together, so I figured I would ask if you have any suggested skill tree adjustments or optimizations. The tree as it is this league seems to support either strategy so I haven't really touched it, but I'm wondering if going for 1 or 2 extra power charges might be worth dropping something else for. As always, you've balanced everything in the build very carefully, so I'm wary of changing too much.

In terms of equipment, obviously Inpulsa's is king for mapping, but do you think a rare Shaper's Vaal regalia would be better for bossing because of better survivability? I'm thinking mainly of Sirus, at this point (the asshole). Also, is Soul Tether still BiS if I'm using Inpulsa's?

By the way, if you haven't tried it out yet this league, the new and improved Lightning Warp is absolutely INSANE with the golem buffs. I've never moved so fast in this game; it legitimately feels like Teleport from D2.

If i had 8 ex to spend for a good weapon what do you guys suggest?
PS: I was wondering between Agnerod West vs Duskdawn.... since i dont realy know how to choose a good rare one :(

If you're choosing between the two uniques, I'd go for Duskdawn. It's got better damage modifiers and is certainly superior from a defensive standpoint. But if I had 8 ex to spend, I would honestly put it toward a top-notch rare, since you can ultimately get more damage out of them.

ya i know but i dont realy find a good one.... i mean maybe i dont know what stat to look for too... >.< and most of them are warstaff

Yo ENki, ty for the build it's a blast I am enjoying it quite a lot but I have a lil problem. I'm currentrly at the end of the atlas ( runnin t16 maps all day ) and I happen to die a lot. I think my gear is pretty decent ( 5000k life and 2k ES, plenty of damage etc ). It might be totally my bad, I mean, I probably am too bad kappa. But I was wondering if you could point me some things to change to do t16 more consistently. Thx again for the build.

Hi Enki,

I'm having the same issue as Macoflash.
I've invested 20ex into my gear and still only get 5.8k EHP with Max resists...
I'm constantly dying... I've never been so frustrated with a fully fleshed out build before!

I'm considering respeccing this character but it feels bad to have invested so much into this and fail.

I do piddling damage to Uber Atziri and Max lvl Drox is IMPOSSIBLE. The flags simply do not die to my single target Arc.
Let alone Sirus...single target is severely lacking.

What can I do?
