Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Hi enki, if I remember correctly, there was a section about upgrade order, can u report it here? Thanks a lot :)

why do u have minion nodes so early in the build? bone helmet is for lvl 73

I've switched to an ES CI occultist crit arc build and it works very well, if anyone is interested I can try to create a guide.
It's a little bit more expensive than enki's build since everybody wants ES stuff this league, and you need at least 4k ES to be comfortable when you switch to CI.
With high end gear (like 2 void battery) I would be around 1M dps with arc and 9K ES (on PoB, haven't been able to test it yet since that ideal gear is super expensive).
I find survivability to be higher than the life/ES build too.
I'm still tweaking my build (first time that I work on a build on my own), but so far I love it!

can i use both defensive setups IC and blind and remove Lightning Spire Trap setup?

For an ES setup i'd prefer Occultist, it already gives so much flat ES and stun immunity, and you could use a chest with more ES than Inpulsa's and still gain similar explosions from Profane Bloom. There would be a big damage loss from missing out on 50% shocks and Hypothermia, so it's probably a good idea to go crit and maybe even Lowlife in this case.

I've thought of different ES versions and agree there is a huge dps loss switching out of Elementalist. Granted, I think the gems would be fine. Arc > Spell Echo > Lightning Pen > Arcane Surge > pick 2 Unleash, ALD, ES Leech (not sure which 2 are better). I'd probably go tri curse applied via bane, but maybe more and take a staff instead of dual wield, especially since curses got buffed heavily in 3.6. The biggest problem would be utility. I cannot replace the chill slow nor the massive attack/cast speed loss.

How can I use Wrath, enfeeble(aura) and Discipline (at the same time)? What happens with Wrath I was supposed to acquire together with Discipline and I can't see it even mentioned in next acts. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here.

What do the notes in parenthesis mean in the crafting section?

I've switched to occultist and I'm using power charges, not curses. My dps is way higher than the elementalist build

i gave up at lvl 60, i was dieing 10times to every single boss

Any thoughts of using Coward's Legacy and Atziri's Reflection combined with Pain Attunement? It would require our belt as well as swap a dagger for a shield, but would allow us to pick up 30% more damage for 1 passive. Both are ES based.

Edit: Probably not. On further contemplation, you would reflect Vulnerability back to the enemy, and I'm not sure if it would override Blasphemy. It almost certainly would override any other source of curse.

Hmm, I'll look into it. As Enki said, Profane Bloom could replace Arc explosions. I'd probably look into low life though (I really, really want to finally find a viable Arc low life build, lol). Basically it would take a 50% reservation aura + Blood magic + Shavronne's Wrapings (body armour) and allow you to pick up Pain Attunement.
