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

Hi,

Could you please have a look at my gear? I know that next step is chest, i have loreweave in my stash, just needs linking.

What then? What should I focus on improving ? For now the usual problem - bosses :)

Thanks in advance
B
which of these also to apply us (bc of spiritual aid)?

minions have increased attack speed
minions have increased cast speed
minions deal additional lightning damage

thanks
1 & 2 for sure no.

Not sure about additional lightning damage.
Why does this build have 5 minion nodes in the tree? That seems like 5 wasted points. 6, if you include the 1 travel node.

The last minion node has text that says, all the increased damage to minions, are actually moved over to the character.

Meaning, every mod that has X% increased damage to minions, actually is X% increased damage to our character.
Read the discussion - last 2 pages are about this :)

Spiritual aid - damage increase attribute to minions apply to main character.

can anyone confirm this or could this possibly be a cheap way to boost dps?

I can confirm that neither of these modifiers increase character DPS if used in conjunction with Spiritual Aid.

In general, if the modifier isn't explicitly worded as "Minions deal #% increased/decreased damage", it almost certainly won't work. Even then you have to keep in mind what the modifier affects (see Infernosaint's explanation for Minion Damage support gem).

As sny83 said, it won’t work. Wording in PoE is extremely specific, even if half the time the mechanics are vaguely worded...very annoying. More/less, # to #, attack/cast speed, etc are all independent of each other. You can pick up Spiritual Command to allow increases/decreases to minion attack speed to affect you, but I know of no other way for minion stats to affect us.

Also, I recommend not grabbing Spiritual Command unless you have a bizzaire set of gear offering a considerable amount of increased minion attack speed.

That seems like a reasonable start. However, when I try to use the traps, i often end up doing less damage than if i just spammed arc. the reason is trap placement and trap delay. I can throw 3 traps, after that there's an 8 second recharge to get another one. Unless a mob steps on the trap, there's a delay before the trap goes off. So often i place traps, the mob wanders off and the trap goes off on nothing. then I spend time flitting around until the trap recharges and again throw a trap off into futility. Even when I do manage to hit something with trap damage, it does not seem to be doing significantly more than arc. It seems my time would have been better spent just hitting the arc button. Granted, i love putting the traps under a strongbox, activating it and dashing away, but clearly I'm not using it correctly on bosses and other large encounters.
You got it. Its primarily learning trap mechanics through experience, knowing when/where to cast and knowing when/where the boss is likely to move. As you said, there is a CD, so no rush on dropping all 3 traps at once unless you have the time to do so.

Is this any good / of value?

Couldn't find ANY like this on trade at all...
