Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
|
Hello Enki,
Thanks for the great write-up and all the explanations. I got the gloves below that comes with "%# Increased Damage with Hits Against Chilled Enemies" suffix.  Since our lightning damage can freeze and frozen enemies are considered chilled, do you think this would provide a reliable source of increased damage? |

" I was confused myself, and I am still confused after your answer. If I understand correctly: 1) You level 5 Arc gems to 20 (1 being used, 4 in alt weapons). 2) You use the vendor recipe "L20 gem + gemcutter's prims -> +20% quality L1 gem" with all 5 Arc gems. 3) You level all +20% Arc gems to L20 again. 4) You corrupt all 5 gems, in hopes of geting one of them L21? What do you do if you don't? It is the last point that I am not sure of. I am assuming corrupting can result on +1 level, and also that the guide talks about 5 Arc gems just because you want to max your chances. Am I right? It is confusing because in the guide you say each gem that should be quality vendored is marked with an asterisk, and Arc is not marked so. Also, despite the guide being VERY detailed (kudos for that), the procedure I mention above, specifically the fourth point, is not mentioned anywere. Anyway, congratulations for this very fine guide! |

" You aren't leveling Arc to 20 and then flipping them with a GCP for 20% quality, as this only improves the shock chance, which we don't need because we're freezing. You level all the Arc gems for a better chance at hitting level 21 with the corruption, as it's somewhat rare to get. |

I'm in tier ~7 maps now and this build has been a lot of fun. However I am starting to feel the extra HP monsters are getting, and wonder about sources of additional damage.
Would it be ridiculous to scale Herald of Ice in a 6L staff instead of the different golems? With this setup, meat shield and minion life would be removed and the golems would be socketed into some 4-socket item elsewhere. Then HoI would be linked with increased crit as described, but maybe also added cold damage, cold penetration, added lightning damage (since I'm using Agnerod West and it gives lightning pen), and whatever else, maybe increased AoE. Is this setup an effective use of a 6L staff, and worth the squishier golems? I don't mind recasting them a couple of times a map. edit: Never mind. I'm dumb and forgot that the links with HoI only scale the explosion damage and not the added spell damage like I was hoping. Última edição por Monkestful#7937 em 28 de dez de 2019 20:37:44

Got tabula rasa at act 2, is there a good way to incorporate it in the build? also, am i understanding it correctly that any recommended gem in this build should be replaced for vaal version of it in case it drops? You also mention that two 3-linked wands have to be crafted with lightning damage, i don't understand why is it necessary to have 3 linked wand with lightning for secondary slot for gem leveling, why can't we use non-linked 3 blue gem wand for this purpose?

Lots of the questions people are posting about are actually answered in the guide text itself, you guys should really read over it and not just skim it.

Hi all,
Just wanted to say this build has been an awesome intro into POE and been having a blast leveling and now doing maps. I will say that I am a bit lost at this point. Dont know if someone wants to take a look at what I am running, but I'm really feeling capped out with the build. I have the flasks and feel like the right stats and whatnot, but my DPS just doesn't seem to be where it should be? If someone wouldn't mind taking a look at my toon it'd be much appreciated as I'd really love to push this further. |

" Haven't played current vers of the build but noticed a couple things: Agnerod North isn't really doing you any favors with the 15% shock chance (your lightning damage can't shock because of three dragons helm). Replace with duskdawn or a multimod staff get a ring with assassins mark on hit. use the medium budget tab as a guideline for upgrades, then move to the high budget tab is the tldr of your answer, mostly. |

I ended up getting around 20+ exalt with this build so far. Does anyone know a good end-game build I can spend this on in order to do highest level content easier? I feel like it will be hard/more expensive than necessary to get this build to that level with this currency.

Dumb question, how are people getting their strength high enough to use the Agnerod staff. We'd need a good bit of +str gear, or an efficient training jewel, right?
