Witch - [3.4] Teleports Behind You - Poet's Pen Lightning Warp & Arc, MF / Facetank t16 / Shaper / U. Elder - Forum

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Inpulsa is super expensive this league. Everyone and their brother seems to be running some arc build. As such, I decided to get my dual poet's pen first. Instead of doing warp/arc, I went ahead and just did arc/ball lightning. It plays just like a self cast arc for now, but you also have really good bossing damage from ball lightning. I'm guessing I'll end up running 3 pens, with ball lightning swap out for warp depending on boss vs. map. Also: with lack of Berek's early (expensive), i found that linking warlord's mark with curse on hit and HoT does nicely for now.

Author of https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2043679 here. Updating my guide. Really don't understand why you would use lightning warp?! Investment is huge and it's a worse bodyswap... You don't need this volatile / unearth you are talking about... Your poet's pen skills kill enemies thus generate corpses. I tried lightning warp over and over and I really just don't get it so please explain, I go at least twice as fast with bodyswap and alot less effort as well. Also thinking about a 5l/6l ( Arcane Surge? Leech? ) setup in chest for single target, this would be either (Vaal) Blade Vortex or (Vaal) Storm Call with or without CoC / Power Siphon ( power charges, doesn't need gmp, auto target and culling = PERFECT ) First Poet's Pen: Arc Support Support Second Poet's Pen Bodyswap ( Switch to support on bosses ) Skill Support Pro's of Bodyswap compared to Lightning Warp: SAFER! You tp in AFTER enemies die FASTER! It's instant with more range... More Damage than lightning warp You can swap to a support on bosses No need to aim, I keep getting stuck with lightning warp... You don't lose dps because you are teleporting around vs rares and bosses Cosmetics Only negative thing would be is that it doesn't work when there are no enemies, which is why I run a 4 link flame fash, lightning warp or phase run ( got buffed hard ) PS: What about using Stormfire? PSS: Which ascendancy would you take for HC? I will be using MoM + Enfeeble + 180-200% life PSSS: Don't forget that Inpulsa doesn't do much for trap / mine / totem builds Last edited by Yagamai on Jun 2, 2018, 7:26:32 PM	Posted by Yagamai on Jun 2, 2018, 6:59:30 PM Quote this Post

I like lightning warp because it's easier to control. Where you click is where you will go. Bodyswap picks the closest body, which can result in some strange rips. Lightning warp is a bit finnicky because if you click somewhere you cannot actually teleport into (ie. like offscreen) it won't go off. Once you get used to it, the precision is actually quite nice.

Yeah won't work with Inpulsa ( I play HC so I need defensive chest anyway ). Bodyswap picks the closest body to your cursor so it's pretty spot on most of the time.

Since Inpulsa's is real expensive I've decided to go for the 2 Poet's pens first. It's working out pretty well! It's much faster than self cast and I'm having no issues in maps up to T6 so far (The highest I've got). Here's to hoping Inpulsa's goes down a little bit!
