Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary

I cant seem to sustain mana at tier 8 map+ and die extremely easily.
It seem that the mob hit too hard and alot of my mana are being use by agnostic + arcane cloak.
I am now with 4k hp and 7.5k mana and lvl 88.

I guess i am lacking a shield with mana gain on block, but that is too hard to get with Life mod at this early in the league

also for mana flask, is enduring mod better to stack the regen or concentrated for more mana.

My Arc is using 1.6k mana per cast now and arcane clock is on left click for auto cast.

I am also using Smoke mine for faster movement and clear, but often I also jump off screen into a pack of mob, which might be the cause of my death.

@skybluerock do you have your "trigger socketed spell" wand yet? I was having the exact same problem and I caved and just bought a mediocre wand with the craft. Having that wand also allows you to use the katavas teachings cluster jewel, which further helps with mana sustain. If you have an exalt to spare, Atziri's Foible is another huge upgrade. Even if you don't have Foible, you can annoint your amulet with mind drinker for 2 chaos or so.

If you are having mana sustain issues, do you really need to ask if 30% reduced or 30% increased is more helpful? Enduring is a QoL prefix, but it is the worst in terms of amount of mana recovered. Also, as LawsonGD mentioned, Kitava’s Teaching is a massive boost to your sustain. It will probably account to close to 50% once your mana pool increases and flat regen becomes less effective. You not only recover 5% per second, but it allows you to keep 100% uptime on Essence of Glutton’s 4% per second regeneration.

:/ I did just notice the keystone is recovery, meaning it won’t benefit from increased regeneration. 😥 I’m not sure how I missed that until now.

Of course you cant sustaint your mana when you cant get the block cap like build says you can. :) Someone help with this already.. How the hell do I have 8 spell block chance following this build step by step?

Because the rest of your block comes from gear and skills.
- Bone Armour = up to 17-18%
- Tempest Shield = up to 3-4%
- Rumi’s Concoction = up to 20% attack, 10% spell
- Shield = Whatever native block chance your equipped shield has

Thanks. I didn't realize the flask did so much. How the heck do you get 7k mana though?

I have over 7k mana and I'm only level 90. Aztiri's Foible is an insane mana boost. Otherwise, just make sure that you have mana on every single piece of your gear (literally every piece). You can inspect my character for this league if you're curious. I'm still using a junk 6-link and starter boots/gloves.

That should clear it up.

Why do we keep Wave of Conviction and Tempest Shield at lvl 1?

Is it just to save mana?

I understand we are using them primarily for Exposure and Block chance.

But it seems like even at lvl 20 their mana cost will be negligible, so why not get some extra DPS?
