Enki's Arc Witch - maybe back some day?

Hi, First of all thank you for an amazing build. I'm quite new to the game, one question i want to ask is how are you using both herald of thunder and ice with zealotry since that reserves your mana above 100%. Again I'm sorry if the answer is obvious I'm pretty much a total noob in this game so yea, cheers =D

You have to get "Mastermind of Discord" in your Elementalist skill tree.

Is it worth to run the "25% increased herald of thunder damage" enchant on Three Dragons ?

When I run it on POB the result is strange, i get the same effective dps with no enchant and with "25% increased herald of thunder damage".

But if i put the "40% increased herald of thunder damage" i get a big boost (almost on par with "arc chains one more time")

I looked hard and could not find the answer, sorry if it is already in this post.

Awesome build. I have a question on the wave of conviction swap. If I add in empower level 3 for the 6th link, will it help lowering down the resistance or is it worth it?

Any idea what should I do with unnatural instinct jewel which dropped out of nowhere instead of selling it?

nvm

I re-speced to the new update but I dont feel like I actually do any more damage. Could someone take a look and see if I missed anything obvious or what changes I would have to make?

I'm really interested in the more Arc chains thing.

So in the gear section it says that with the right setup, I can get a lv.31 arc that chains 10 times.

But I don't really understand how to do that exactly, because lv.21 Arc chains 8 times, with a +3 staff, a lv.4 Empower and a +1 Amulet it becomes a lv.28 Arc, but wouldn't I still need 3 levels from some item?

I'm confused about the use of inspiration support for both arc and storm brand.

It feels like arc keeps me constantly at max inspiration charges, and having a second gem generating charges doesn't actually do anything other than make sure I hit the mana cap sooner so they dissappear?

am I missing something?

Surely this slot would be better with another damage increase gem?

My apologies, I was mistaken, as Enki pointed out, you can't craft the +2 support gems on a +3 lightning gems staff. Please see his post on page 1370 in response to Ling_Ling_.
