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

This part is a little confusing to me, could someone explain it a bit better to me?

How do you know what your crit chance is and what is the thing about the diamond flask mean? Is an Empower level 2 any good, or just wait until it levels to 3 in the background before using it?

5th Link: Increased Critical Strikes* adds base crit chance and a multiplier to our crit chance. Once you reach ~50% crit chance without this gem and before Diamond Flask buff, replace it with a Lv3/4 Empower to raise Arcs level and with that its base damage, and even gain extra chains if the result is a Lv26 respectively Lv31 Arc.

I found something about this topic. but I still haven't figured out which one is better. :D

Skill functions and interactions
Since it is not a projectile, Arc cannot fork or pierce, and it cannot be supported with

Lesser Multiple Projectiles Support
or

Greater Multiple Projectiles Support
.
Supporting Arc with

Chain Support
will result in additional chains.
Arc will chain to a random target within a specified radius centered on last target struck. Arc cannot chain back to the same target immediately, and must bounce one more time before chaining to the previous target. Because Arc also forks with each bounce, it requires 4 grouped enemies to bounce back to the original.
Arc will target the nearest enemy within range if not cast on an enemy.
Can be used in left mouse button slot to cast and move.

Wouldn't Arcane Surge instead of Added Lightning Damage give us more DPS?

Also I'm on a very budget build right now, if someone has the time, can you look at my build and let me know what I'm missing to lower my death rate? Thank you.

let me know if you can find a solution about deaths rate :D I'm stuck at level 91 and currently deaths is 850 times :D when i see delirium portal i run there :D

Arcane surge only works when you spend mana. Since you have eldritch battery you are not spending mana, you are spending energy shield to cast spells.

Hi all, Thanks Enki for the great build, last league I tried other arc build with Impulsa and 2 wands, didn't impress me much but this looks very nice, Im enjoying playing arc now :)
Anyway I have question or just maybe some idea for Enki or someone who could solve the problem. I'm 89lvl and looking at 90+devouring diadem skill tree (after I reach 90) somehow I'm missing 2 extra passives!?

If any one would know why it could be I would be really appreciated with answer.
p.s. I checked my tree 100 times and there is no mistake (unless Im all 100 times missed one spot :D )

Thx and good luck Exiles

P.S. just checked all side quests who give skill points are done.

I believe you need to change your bandit choice from Alira to Eramir. That will give you 2 extra skill points but you will loose the bonuses (all res) from Alira. This is how you can change it:

I tried to do that now, says "You already have Eramir's favour"

Hello,
I have a problem. I have 85+ level with some average items (I guess) but and I'm still dying ... In map tier 5+ I think I'm mostly one-shooted :/

Could someone, please, check my profile and suggest what I could change to stand on my feet longer and be able to do tier map 10+?

Here is my view on the dieing thing. I have always died consistently with arc witch. Maybe a little more with this particular build but not by much (perhaps my experience is starting to help a bit).

But I have still done awakener level 5, shaper, simulicrum level 20, tier 16 maps no problem most of the time, and I expect to be able to do most content. If not all content.

I think you have just got to accept you are going to die a lot and do what you can to cut it down.

1: I think moving is key: dont stand in the same place for more than a second.
Arc arc arc, move, flasks, arc arc arc, move flasks etc.
2: For mapping your flasks should be permanently up.
3: Just continuously improve everything you can about the build
4: Pay attention to the difficult and dangerous mobs and avoid them or find a way to overcome them

If you want to gain a level you got to lower the danger for a while.
- Bring down the map levels by a few levels.
- dont go as deep in the mines etc
- Dont do map bosses which are tricky
- If you see those annoying porcupines, just leave the map!
- Open a portal in the boss room (if it gets tricky, use the portal to refill flasks or leave altogether)
- Make sure your running the best pantheons for your requirements

Get a calculator, take your health, and times it by 0.43. Whatever the number is, make sure your energy shield is higher than that number. (energy shiled has to be above 43% of health for Mind over matter to work well.

I tried Herald stacking.

I started with:
Life: 4905
ES: 2465
Arc Damage: 265159

I had to take 35 points away from the skill tree which devastated everything!

Ended up with:
Life: 4131
ES: 1967
Arc Damage: 253298 (500% increased damage from Endbringer stacks)
Evasion rating: 10523 from the gem alone (no evasion gear)

I could only get 4 heralds running at once with wrath and grace. (I have no idea which are the best haralds to use)

Got herald of lightning and purity down to a cost of 5% mana reserve the others are 10% mana reserve.

Still have MOM, zealots oath, eldritch battery.

Since i have +200% effect from auras I wonder if grace is the best defensive aura to use? I wonder if someone who actually knows what they are doing could do better.

there's already a build for arc elementalist herald stacking and is very good. its basically the same as the guardian templar. since i swaped into it i can tell you: its expensive! if you dont have at least 30 exalted dont even bother (you will spend 30 exalts for basic stuff then 100+ to go into godmode, voices with 3/1 empty nodes go for mirrors, even with 5 passives it goes for 20ex each). also in the start you will die from phys stuff and its a weekness thats hard to attend with the elementalist herald user, elemental dmg you lol at it, but phys? damn... and thats why the templar is better suited than the witch for the build.

if you like playing arc, heralds is the way to go once you have currency going on, enki build -> elementalist heralds build -> reroll templar guardian with the same gear and rofl you ass off at the content.
