Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
|
Just want to post to show people what the early end game looks like, and I wanna say with enough effort and some currency put into the build it definitely would work pretty well. Really recommend the Orb of Storm set up where you link culling strike, curse on hit, conductivity which will help you kill the boss when they are at 10% hp. Here is my A5 Sirus fight and Cortex Boss fight for anyone whos interested.
Both was without 20/20 Gems. Lvl 92 for the A5 Sirus, did not have Kitava's teachings, Sirus Dps was around 1mil. You can see the build is really tanky, can tank a few of the "Die!" rays. Just take longer if you have less Dps.

" How much did you spend pushing the build to that level? I'm struggling at the start of red maps right now and I feel like every time I look into upgrades they're just more than I can afford. |
|
" I bought upgrades fairly early so it was rather cheap, I got the watcher's eye for 1ex which was really lucky. 6-link body armor for 1ex which is for the damage but the prefixes should be quite cheap. Kitava's teachings 78c. Rest of the gears combined should be under 200c. Some of the gear you can just harvest craft it, its not too bad to get a decent one. I would say good jewels are more expensive than some gears lol. |

I'm sitting on 1ex so far...so yeah, that's totally un-affordable for me.
I've been spamming harvest crafting as much as possible, but my luck is garbage and I don't really know what I'm doing 100% anyway, lol |

" Well kitava's teachings and the watchers eye are only there for the mana problem, if you can find enough mana regen from else where, its not necessary to have them. I still do not have the 70% mana regen boot enchant yet. 1ex should be able to get most of the gears. I just looked over your gears, you do not have both life and mana on almost all of your gears, its a surprise you even reached red maps in my opinion. Try go for Life, Mana, Elemental resistances, Mana Regeneration on your gears. Your wand is like ok, if you have extra currency you could go for higher mana. But prioritize your defensive gears first. That should help you a lot. Zuletzt bearbeitet von PricelessWombat#5452 um 28.06.2020, 00:45:36

" Oddly enough the defense hasn't been an issue at all. I feel tanky as hell. It's DPS that's murdering me. It just takes FOREVER to kill anything relatively tanky. I didn't think Kitava's Teaching was necessary since I got the trigger on skill wand? |
|
" Kitava's teaching is the small cluster jewel, the helmet is Kitava's thirst. Remember we are using Archemage, so more mana equals more dps for us. Also you could look for better item base for gears. Such as Fingerless silk gloves, bone helmet, and Fossilized Spirit Shield. So for DPS, your Arc mana cost is only 753, your probably want it to be higher for higher base damage, thus why we are stacking maximum mana. Second of all you are using unleash rn and your Total DPS on PoB is 240337, if you switch from unleash to spell echo you will have 365867 dps and you cast rate increases from 2.66 to 4.49, and if you get 6 link and put on controlled destruction your dps will go to 594380. Now your mana regen is only 461, if you are taking hits and casting arc, that regen is not cover the mana cost of arc. You should also try to get an essence worm and put wrath in it, which will also increase your dps by alot. |

" (trimming quote due to limit on forum) Gotcha, yeah, I shoudl get more MP. I went for more defensive bases because I was having survivability issues earlier, and this fixed that problem. Unleash is bugged on PoB and doesn't contribute any Speed/DPS except for the MP cost. If you math it out, it's SLIGHTLY (like ~1%) less DPS than Echo, but it outperforms if you're actually dodging around and not facetanking since it stores casts while you're moving. Ok, so, priority right now would be, is this correct?: • More MP • 6L • Essence Worm + Wrath Where should I look for more regen from? I've just been chugging flasks, mostly. |

Looks good to me, you can get mana regen as the enchant on the boots, affix on the rings and amulets, shields and wands. If you check the affix list Enki listed for each item they would be more accurate than my memory rn lol

" Oh wow, like there's a guide at the beginning of this thread, who woulda thought! LOL, I'm an idiot. Thanks for replying. :D |
