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

Hey there, could someone please take a look at my witch cause I really am stuck. I haven't been able to find a chest with offerings and I'm unsure what to upgrade next. This is my first league since Delve (I think? I'm not even sure). Last I played actively offerings to the goddess were worth 5c

Would be awesome to hear some feedback to my gear and my char in general, thank you!

(Currently doing leapfrog in atlas, haven't killed sirus yet)

Great job on the guide/build, it's been really fun so far!

Being fairly new to this game, I was hoping some of the more experienced players could give me some advice on my current setup.

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/supremej/characters

Few questions I have:

1. How important is chaos resistance?
2. Which enchantment on my Atziri's Foible would benefit me the most?
3. Is there a certain amount of mana / mana regeneration required to run 'The Agnostic'?
4. What's the biggest upgrade to my setup right now?
(Currently have 1ex and 266c).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Is increased mana recovery rate and increased mana regeneration calculated the same?

No, increased mana regen is narrower. All your increased mana regen is combined additively and then multiplied with the combined base mana regen you have from various sources (e.g. innate regen, Clarity, Arcane Surge, Essence Glutton, Cloak of Defiance) to get your total mana regeneration rate.

Mana recovery broadly refers to any source of mana you gain, including regeneration, leech, flasks, mana on block/kill, etc. Mana recovery rate applies to all types of mana recovery that occur over time, which for us are mostly regeneration and flasks. It's a separate multiplier that is applied after regeneration and flask recovery rates are calculated, making it very powerful.

Increased mana recovery from flasks = meh
Increased mana recovery rate during flask effect = okay
Flat mana regeneration = good
Increased mana regeneration rate = very important
Base mana regeneration (i.e. based on a % of your mana pool) = crucial
Increased mana recovery rate = GODLIKE; applies to all things listed above

Hopefully that helps. As logical as GGG has strived to make it, this is NOT all intuitive.

edit: reading the comments and seeing your builds I realized how utterly trash my build is and nowhere good! needs a lot of work. sorry for posting mindlessly out of frustration.

This build has been really enjoyable and the progression quite smooth, i remember this was one of the first builds i played when i started PoE and will recommend a few friends to play this next league who are planning to try the game. This league i wanted everything laid out for me so i didn't have to waste anytime thinking too hard, just wanted to login and have fun with the limited time i usually have to play.

Currently clearing tier16 maps with ease but still occasionally get one shot my burst damage. I only just replaced my chest piece this morning with increased effect of offerings which feels like it's helped.

I have 3exalts currently i was hoping someone could have a quick look and tell me where i'd get the most band for my buck. Currently have 4800hp and 7200mana

I've had a little bit of trouble finding a shield upgrade with Recover #% of your maximum Mana when you Block and the resists that i need.

I'll try.

1. Chaos resistance isn't really that important if you've got Agnostic and good mana sustain. Just stay out of Al-Hezmin's stupid triangle!

2. Go with the guide, here. Since you have a Crown, Mana Flows is best; Mind Drinker is also a good budget option.

3. Practically speaking, yes, but it looks like to me you should be able to support it with your current setup, as long as the snip you posted reflects your unbuffed mana regen (i.e. standing still in hideout). I can't give you an equation, but generally you'd want at least twice as much mana as life.

4. Incremental ones, in my opinion. 20x fertile catalyst on the amulet, Arcane Cloak enchantment on the helmet, 160+ mana on the wand, t1-2 mana/life rolls on the rare gear. Your goal is 10k mana, keep pushing for that. Mana is everything for this build, defensively and offensively.

New player here, loving the build so far!

I noticed Enki swapped out the "Controlled Destruction" gem to boost spell crit chance, allowing the "Elemental Overload" passive to be active more often as a result. He swapped it for "chain", but I'm curious, why isn't "faster casting support" considered instead of "chain" as a substitute?

I'm also curious about this since "chain" mostly adds extra clear speed, when thats already a very strong aspect to this build -- what this build is slightly lacking in is single target/boss dps (according to Enki's "pros/cons").

Wouldn't "faster cast speed" (or something else) be better for heavy single targes/bosses? Is there some interacting mechanic with this build I'm missing that makes "Faster Casting Support" a bad choice? (something to do with the necklaces I mentioned?) Is it mainly because "chain" has a 150% mana multiplier?

Thanks so much for the help here!

Made a weird thing. Too bad no open suffix :(


Maybe shaper/redeemer experimented shield next time.

Arc also gets "15% more Damage for each remaining Chain", maybe you overlooked that.

For those struggling to keep up their elemental overload on bosses with controlled destrucition. There is a cheap head enchant for sigil of power, boosting critical strike with 30% per stage which equals to 120% increased crit chance.
