Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

A Question about Cluster jewels. I've used large,medium but for the small i'm confused! I have the regular one and the kitava one. Which one should I use? Also is there a way to use both? Lastly, I've removed Profane Chemistry, Arcane Chemistry, Sentinel and Battle Rouse to have enough skill points. Do you think I did right? Because the guide says remove the skills beyond the Constitution skill on the tree. Please help me, thanks.

So the build started off a bit slow on the boss damage but still felt tanky enough to survive at least.

Since adding Crown of the Inward Eye, Essence worm + wrath, and adding Healthy Mind, my dps has been actually decent enough to kill bosses without too much difficulty or time.

Disciple of Kitava was 100% necessary for me for mana issues.

Picking up the Supercharge + Scintillating Idea also helped DPS a bit.

Super fast mapping and solid boss damage too - many thanks Enki!

please need help :(

Sorry for the dumb question but, how do you even calculate DPS for this build? :D I'm pretty new and dumb, what I do is put a cursor on the arc skill to see it's current DPS, but it changes everytime and it obviously doesn't take into account Orb of Storms and Arcane Cloak's effects on it.

I don't have PoB but is that how you calculate it? Does PoB calculate everything and gives out a true DPS?

Ok, I am going to try and answer a few that I can here:

Yes, you need PoB. You will import your build and then there is a tab for configuration that you will need to set up properly with consumed corpses, etc. That will give you a more accurate DPS. For example, my Tooltip only shows 441K but POB shows me at 1.74 MIL.

I recomend using Kitava's Thirst if you only have room for one small jewel. I am still using Battle Rouse; Unless you have basically two perfect cluster jewels, then I would say to keep Battle Rouse and use later level skill points for the jewels. As for Sentinel, I still have that as well. I need the resists.

Spell Echo is superior. Unleash only gains seals once every .71 seconds at level 20, and it deals 11% less damage at level 20. Those numbers are even worse before level 20. Take into account that you are only really going to gain the full benefit from unleash (3 extra casts) maybe 1-2 times per map. And almost never in a boss fight. For reference, a 20/20 Unleash Support gem drops my over all DPS by over 600K in PoB.

Hi. I'm a total newbie that just finished campagin and run my first map. It's a bit challening and I wanted to ask what i can do to improve my stats and DPS. There are so many options, that i have no idea what to pick. Even comparing items to each other is a challenge, especially if they are offensive. I also have almost no currency, only 10 chaos from levelling. Would really appreciate some advice.

Spoiler

You have plenty of upgrade options. I would start by trying to get a Tabula Rasa. Your body armour isn't doing very much for you and the 6 link will be a huge damage boost. Then focus on farming for currency. Do the Chaos recipe. I recommend doing it for 2 chaos per set, odds are you wont find the gear you need sooner than you can just buy it anyway. While doing that, just keep an eye out for decent gear; you will get there. I was honestly at about level 85 before I really felt like the build was taking off, and that was in SSF before I switched over so all my gear was trash (except for a lucky 6L chest).

I'm just to act 5. I got the Essence Glutton asendency notable and desecrate. I cast desecrate two times... I see the corpses, how do I consume them to make essence glutton work? Or, how do I tell it's doing anything at all?

It works automatically. If you enable show all auras in UI settings, you can see it with a number showing how many corpses is within range. Oh, and there is a very noticable blue glow around corpses.

Hey!

Love your Arc build. Amazing

Got a question, which gem would you use as last one if you had 7 link?

I think at some point I will have to transfer this to trade league. Otherwise I will probably never have crown of the invard eye, Kitava's teaching and essence worm. I already consider this run fairly lucky since I looted an Atziri's foible and a Rumi's. =)

It might still be SSF friendly, I can complete T16 maps and all, even though a bit slow... But those are such key items, especially kitava's teachings and essence worm.


Anyone doing SSF with this who was able to farm those?
