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

i'm currently at lvl 89 right now, but struggling a little with deaths (metamorphs), and with the Atlas bosses (i got 15 watchtones so far), but wasted all portals trying kill the hunter and i failed
And feeling a little unmotivated at the moment, can you check out my profile items and tell me maybe what I could improve?
with maps 12+ i'm feeling it's getting rough,and i'm not sure how would i be able to do all content

How do you make your helmet givet 2 red and 2 green sockets?

2 ways, either spam chrome and hope you get it (I did this, got lucky) or use the Crafting Bench like this:

Select "At least 2 red sockets"

then select "3 sockets". If it is a green, continue to select "4 Sockets". If it is not, select "2 sockets" again, and repeat until you have 2 red and 2 green. This may take a lot of jeweler orbs as you have to use them for every craft.

The trick is that the bench will always maintain the previous color sockets when going back and forth between the number of sockets. Only the newly added ones will change.

Thoughts on awakened added lightning and awakened spell echo gems?

Great build!

Im looking for a good 6L staff to buy if anyone here have one for sale, around 3ex

Thanks, happy holidays!

I like the build, but i'm starting to lack damage hard in T13+. Feels like i'm getting stuck soon.

I'm aware that I miss several items like the ring-setup etc, but will that and other changes make a substantial difference in my damage?

Am I missing something crucial here?

Tips that can make me boost my damage greatly is appreciated.

UPDATE: Once I got Arc lvl 21 and curse+shock ring-setup my damage improved significantly. Only problem is if you don't manage your flasks uptime and energy leech(keep hitting mobs) you can easily get oneshot by anything. The build is good and fun though, once you get some core items.

These are my items now;

A full 6L gem setup and Assassin's Mark on hit will make a substantial difference in your damage, yes.

Allright, that's my next goal then, thanks :)

Im currently in act 4, is there any reliable way to get/farm a 4 blue link item for the arc setup? I found one 4 link, but its not completly blue. I tried using chromatic orb on it but had no luck. Is there anything i can do or should i just continue and hope for it to drop one day? You said "If you don't have a 4L for your Arc Setup yet, focus on this before continuing". That sounded like theres a way to systematically farm for it.

the sixth link will help for sure on the arc skill, but not as sure about assassins mark atleast when it comes to bosses in the absolute endgame in this league at least with the current version of the build, anyway shaper/guardian/elder/conqueror type bosses have 66% less curse effect (map bosses have 33% less curse effect) , so you are looking at a pretty tiny dps (relatively speaking) increase vs them, against trash/rare mobs ets its great tho..not saying its a bad curse choice especially not for a crit build like we are but it will not do as big of a difference against endgame bosses as other things/gear options,



https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Curse




getting things that will for sure boost dps a lot tho is things like the sixth link for arc, level 21/20 quality arc and support gems (btw can check on the PoE wiki or in Path of Building app gem by gem to see which ones are worth getting 21/20 versions of, before considering awakened support gems to replace them, and so on, not all gems benefit from getting 21/20 versions of and so on)




awakened support gem(s) , +1 additional arc chain enchant on helm, very strong jewels like triple crit multi+lightning damage give a sick boost in dps too, for example this is possible:



16% increased lightning damage
15% to critical multiplier for spells
18% to critical multiplier for lightning skills
15% to critical multiplier for elemental skills


of course this is a perfect dps jewel and unrealistic, but you get the idea :D lots of crit multi as its the highest dps scaling stat, also you can replace one mod with life and/or cast speed etc.. anyway these things listed above will give the highest possible dps increase as far as I can see in the path of building app and of course some of the stuff enki lists in his high budget section on the first page, like double damage/double damage when focused mods and so on, you can see in path of building your dps vs shaper type bosses and assassins mark doesnt really do much against those endgame bosses with their 66% curse resist :C



i'm sure theres even more possibilites to further boost dps and minmax, which also might have to include going a bit away from enkis version of the build and his recommended gear and skill setup, he even says it himself on page 1 that his build is not intended to be absolutely min-maxed for endgame bosses, but more a build that is viable for solo self found players and to be a smooth and nice build to get from level 1 to 90+ into maps and farm currency easily and so on, while still being able to map at higher maps and so on with the recommended higher budget gear, if you want to make the build into a really crazy endgame arc build there are ways to do it, you can make any build or skill crazy strong if you throw crazy currency on it :P you *will* however need skills as well to be able to do the highest content with this build no matter gear, like good reflexes and dodging mechanics to avoid damage and a good knowledge of bosses mechanics and so on, no way around that with this build imo no matter how good the gear is ,





anyway sorry for a bit of a ramble here but yeah, this build is great for mapping and higher maps too but for the absolute endgame singletarget enemies you are going to have to invest some decent currency to get it really smooth imo! personally I love the build tho and the playstyle of arc and also the way enki set up the guide, been playing his arc witches since I discovered this guide back in 3.4/delve league,


and honestly his guide has probably helped literally thousands of players to get into the game and have a nice experience, its probably the most popular PoE build/guide of all time is my guess, idk, but sadly elementalist got some nerfs over the recent leagues with things like inpulsa chest getting nerfed and beacon of ruin and shaper stat sceptres and so on if im not mistaken, but yeah even experienced players enjoy the guide and how well its writtend and laid out etc :D



anyway good luck in your higher endgame content if you decide to go all the way and push a lot of currency into it, I did that in delve league with probably 50+ exalts worth of gear and it was worth it imo easily :D thing with this metamorph league is that some combos of metamorphs are just insane , and just normal map bosses and also endgame bosses have had their HP values super buffed etc, so things are different now, but I love it :)


cheers!
