Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
|
@enki or anyone else experienced with this build / in the end game. I am currently just starting red maps and this is my first season. My golems seems to die every 3 seconds in red maps and its very frustrating to try to manage them. Do you think we can use some passives to go into the minion buffs and sacrifice cluster? or is there anything i can do to make them tankier? they are already supported by meat shield support. Its frustrating to have my golems die to frequently because having 4 up at all times is pretty crucial for my dps.
Looking for any tips or if anyone thinks that sacrifice cluster is a good investment, thanks! |

Decided to play this build and it went well, but early red maps with fog (Delirium) seem to be my current limit. Elderslayers usually require 2-3 tries (deaths) but are doable even at 4 watchstones.
I plan to get 20% gems now and level them again and farm delve lvl 100 to get some chaos orbs. Then maybe the Syndicate Mastermind (never done it before... ^^) to try to get the helmet. Can someone give me an advice on what should I upgrade first? HP: 3700, ES: 2400 (with aura), Resists: 75/75/80/19 |

First of all, sorry for being inactive, and I really appreciate everyone taking their time to respond in this thread.
I've noticed over the years that it's pointless to go back too far with questions because many people never check back if there's no reply after 1-2 days anyway, so I just focus on the more recent ones that haven't been answered. I will also work on some small guide improvements tomorrow. No changes to the build, just improving the guide in some parts. One of them being the "What to upgrade next" section based on current economy, so please just refer to that once it's done.
@justdeezy
In the beginning, just focus on basic stuff with atleast 70% of the recommended life and ES values, resistances and damage where possible, then work your way up from there.
@Magicphoenix
Use Ryslatha Pantheon until your damage gets higher and you have to rely less on life flasks during bossfights. There's also the flask charge on crit belt affix we want later on, and optionally using Sorrow of the Divine to switch life regen to ES on demand.
@StealthReborn--
Check my "__Whaitiri__" character in standard, she got a Lv31 Arc setup.
@Aldora_the_Summoner
This is indeed a good question. My personal reasons for Zealotry is the extra crit from aura and Cons Ground while initially not having much crit, and it also can heal golems if they stop running around like headless chickens. But it's also totally fine to use Wrath first instead, especially if you happen to get your hands on a good Watcher's Eye for it.
@vickyd04
Something that currently works well for currency farming is farming Deliriums in the Act 8 Harbour Bridge zone. The rewards aren't level gated and you can get lots of currency, fossils etc that way unless it gets nerfed.
@KaiosTheViking
Lifesprig, Axiom Perpetuum, the Dark Seer, Xirgil's Crank.
@tuangd
Anything above 0% chaos res is fine, for higher content i'd push for atleast 30%. Poison immunity on flask or upgraded Shakari pantheon is good to counter his poisoning snakes.
@1337jays
To some degree yes, but maybe i'd use a Granite of Iron Skin + VMS + Inc Duration instead of the Steelskin 2L for HC.
@ViperTech
Pledge feels really bad for Arc, and we also don't really benefit from its huge mana multiplier. I'd rather use a simple 5L staff with trigger mod. Spellslinger would not be able to replace it, since it only works with wands.
@earlvin14
Tabula, Mark of Submission, amulet, boots and gloves to get some more Life into the build.
@Propancake
I've tried investing into more golem life in passives, gear and jewels and it still wasn't enough, so best you could do probably is linking them to Cast when Stunned.
@Kuszluk
Anything that has no or a very low life roll basically, so helmet, boots, gloves and belt.

Hello everyone, and thanks Enki for the guide.
I looted this beauty but I don't have the currency to 6L it so I don't know what to do... :( |

" Thank you so much Enki :D |

Hey Enki - I'm following this build to the T... I'm made of GLASS since using the passives Mind over matter and Elrich Battery. I get 1 shotted in the 3rd labryth and I'm level 73.
i only have 2.7k health and 1.6k mana from this build. At end game (I'm in act 10 now) you say dont start real end game content till 5k health and 2+k mana - how can i get there when the rest of the passive tree seems to focus on dmg?? |

I think this is like my first legit forum post in nearly 9 years...
I am having some real troubles grabbing a replacement staff, not because this is great or anything, far from it: I have zero luck when it comes to either socket colouring and god forbid the unspoken thousands of links that have been devoured over the years... Does anyone have any tips for sniping one of these? I could go down the route of the Agnerod West but the cheapest currently is like 1 ex, which isnt problematic on its own but i'd need to shuffle gear to meet strength requirements. I am currently attempting to farm for the Trigger socketed gem on cast but they are illusive... Last edited by Exiled_#1140 on Mar 21, 2020, 12:52:11 PM

" chaos resist is hard to get and expensive since chaos resists on top of a normal piece of gear (like life + fire + cold) would turn its price up. its hard to cap normally, so go for at least neutral (0-10 resist) early if you can. still the basic pieces of gear like head, gloves, boots and the high resists ring can have chaos easily as those pieces are rly cheap if they dont have any extra dmg stuff (like gloves having + spell power) so its worth to try and find some chaos resist there with the item filters its somewhat easy and not rly more expensive. |

Hi Enki,
Thank you for creating this amazing guide. It helped me to get back with my favorite elementalist witch! I feel she has been in a bad shape for quite some time now. Same with self cast arc. I have followed your guide pretty well and had no trouble until I arrived at tier 15 juiced maps (I can clear them but with all the traps and explosions from Delirium i get killed a lot and it takes up lot of time to complete a map). As you said it would be good to have 1mil Shaper dps and 5k hp. The hp one is not that difficult but I struggle to improve my dps further (a golden rule for all games: when in doubt - increase damage). Could you give me a hint which piece of gear should I upgrade next? I have around 6ex in my bank now but I will need 2 to improve my staff with multimod. Could you advise me what should I buy next? I was considering either a Watchers Eye with increased lightning damage or Devouring Diadem. The highend stuff you posted would probably go for 10 to 20ex a piece so I don't know when I will be able to afford that. All the best P.S. I am using Zealotry Wrath and Flesh and Stone thanks, but I was thinking on switching to Hearald instead of FaS. That would further improve my dmg but would it be worth it?
