Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Thank you for your very detailed response! I'll work on my defenses.

For some weird reason it feels as if this build becomes better and better the higher the maps are which I am running, is this placebo? :P

WhiStler, try re-logging or un-equipping and then re-equipping the gems?
I have each golem on a different button ("mousewheel" and "R") and when I press "R" twice it summons 2 of the same kind, if I press the "wheel" and then "R" or the other way around it summons two different golems.

Thanks owa, looking at the gems as you suggested, I found my issue.... I am running 2x Reverberation Rod Spiraled Wand's, where the golems are socketed. the Rods adds Socked Gems are Supported by L1 Spell Echo. This was causing the double casting of my golems.

;)

Hello again! Doroni here.

I just figured out a GREAT damage boost for this build :)

Anger and HoA don't work, i've tried it.
Use flame golem :)
Enjoy!

See You!

Doroni

(15% incr dmg + 30% reduced cold AND light res for just one ring slot? YES PLEASE!!!)

edit: of course it's not an option for elementalists (liege of the primordial) and inquisitors (inevitable judgement) but in my opinion shadows and scions can usie it with very good effect :)

Hi,

my char is lvl 87 now, having great fun with the speed of this build, can clear a lot,

just a question tho, why does immortal call has to stay at lvl 12? wouldnt higher level increase the duration of melee reduction buff? (and give more time to build new endurance charges for the next one?) what am i missing here ?

and what is a decent base wand to spend essence of woe (the +spell dmg one) on? i'm thinking Omen wand, but not sure

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Sorry for the late replies everyone, was a bit busy the past few days!

@MalakielCL: I've got pretty positive feedback from HC players pretty much every league, with a few reaching 90+. I'd say it's not the most faceroll build for HC, but it does work if you know how to play around this builds weaknesses.

@_WhiStler: That was my suspicion while reading this too, good to see you already figured out the issue!

@owa: Thanks! It might be that you get to feel the balance between defense & offense better at higher map tiers, coupled with the build still evolving with nodes you can pick at higher levels.

@doroni: Hey, that's a good idea, although a bit inconsistent for my taste. But if it works for you, sure why not :)

@steve444: A higher level IC would require a higher level CwDt and with that, a much higher damage treshold to proc, and doesn't really add enough duration to justify this tradeoff. I feel Lv10 CwDt + Lv12 IC has the perfect balance between amount of procs and buff duration for builds that don't heavily invest into endurance charges.

Opal Wands have the highest possible implicit spell damage, another option would be Profane Wands for that 12% cast speed implicit. You could also go with a Sambar Sceptre for that sweet 6% Ele Penetration implicit, which synergizes very well with this build as we split our damage into two elements.

could you recommend me what to upgrade next? this is my current gear

and please give me some tips for survivability, because tier 9-11 bosses just annihilate me. 4.3k hp and 880ES

@darkowozzd97: There's nothing particularly wrong with your gear, but your flasks and passives need some improvement. Switch your life flasks with a Seething Divine flask and Catalysed Eternal flask, and Atziri's Promise with a Granite or Basalt flask, preferably with Surgeon's or Experimenter's prefix.

In your passive tree, spec out of Frost Walker, Lightning Walker and the ele dmg node leading to both. Use the gained passives to get Mind over Matter and the 2x missing 5% life nodes.
You could also spec out of the shadow power charge, and 20% crit node at Doom Cast and put these 4 points into 2 more jewel sockets, and get life on all your jewels including the one socket you already have.

thanks, that clears up a lot, the lvl of the active gem that the Cast When damage Taken gem can support are linked , and our optimum is at 12/10, i get it now (seen the interaction on the wiki. and we're not life heavy or have LOTS of endurance charges).

and good to see there's also a sceptre option. :)
do we get the 6% elemental pen. bonus twice then ? (i guess not?)

thanks

Steve

EDIT : nevermind, major mistakes made here

Hey,

i'm new to PoE, and i start a witch following this build. I'm now lvl 59, and things start to be serious.

I don't understand the choice of Cold Penetration Support when we do lighting damage ?
Can you explain it to me (and don't forget : i'm new :p).

Thx
