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

I am level 73

So get to level 90 at least before upgrading?



And how do you make a rare with only 2 mods ? so you can make all the other stats yourself?

My currerent gear....taking suggestions on what i can upgrade. Everything that has multi-mod i crafted myself, but i feel squishy,currently Lvl 98, 5.4k life/2.2k mana. Have 20ex for upgrades/recrafting. Thanks in advance.

the way your character is built (a lot of res on everything, but not on a ring or amulet, I don't see much room to upgrade without replacing half of your gear. You can craft another gloves with pristine + shuddering fossils with 100+ HP and 3% HP and cast speed.
You can swap flask node for HP nodes, vessel of vinktar for basalt flask (vinktar is just terrible imo, 1 use on bosses)
at least, you can try hardcore version of the tree with acrobatics and phase acrobatics. You lose a lot of cast speed, but you gain 40% chance to dodge attacks and 30% chance to dodge spells which is huge for surviveability

I use the gloves for the minion dmg, took me awhile to craft and isolate the cast/minion dmg. I would trade off dmg for HP, but i'll go ahead and do that tonight. Thanks big!

Why do items change frequently?
Video has a lot of items and skills to change
I am confused as to which direction to go
Give me a solution.

Use alts and then regal, scour until you get the mods you want then anull and pray the stat you want is the stat that doesn't get removed.

Just dropped this pair of gloves:
Is it worth replacing my current pair for it if I craft attack speed on it?
Currently using this:
How exactly does the hypothermia work with this build? Won't you only chill enemies when chilling conflux is active if you only have a little bit of cold damage or am I missing something?

if you read the guide, you can find this:

"

Hypothermia is another damage increase that's not represented in our tooltip. It gives a huge more multiplier against chilled enemies while also buffing the effect and duration of our chills.
To reliably make use of this, we need Beacon of Ruin and atleast 1 cold damage dealt with Arc, which we can gain through gear or jewels. Due to that, it's our 6th link choice.

To receive a solution you would have to turn off private on your character so we could see your gear and skills. It would also help if you let us know what part of the very nice guide and walkthrough Enki keeps mostly updated on page 1 was confusing you.

As for your other question... items change frequently because this build can use almost any gear (hence it's beginner and SelFFound friendly nature).

Most of the magic is in smart passive tree and ascendency choices to make arc a very fast and friendly chain gun.

Because the build is so flexible folks have a lot of room to experiment and try new tricks also... but some that I would rank critical:

1 - When you can afford it, make sure you have an essence worm with wrath socketed, a clear mind gem, no other mana reserved and a leech watcher eye - super convenient not to have to worry about mana.

(If for some reason you cannot afford 1.5 ex http://poe.trade/search/reboraseyumanu I have found that using a weapon with cast on skill use and a warlord's mark slotted is almost as good for mana leech without having to babysit it)

2 - Make sure you have a quick movement skill and you use it to sting and move, sting and move all the time. Daggers and whirling blades is the best, but leap slam is OK, and Flame Dash is OK (if you don't run out of charges when you need it). This will automatically avoid most attacks and is good practice for tough bosses.

3 - For bosses and Syndicate, try a spire 4 link. It's not in the main spec yet, but it complements arc immensely. Drop a couple where the boss(es) are (or will be) then sting and move with arc. Arc is amazing at clearing, but slightly weak when against really tough single targets. Spire pounds them while they chase you, and you keep em zapped.

Putting it in this kind of gloves makes it effectively a 6 link, and it does MORE damage than arc by far on wide slow boss butts:

Other than that - don't forget to have some source (abyss jewel is convenient) of +cold dmg to spells... even one point is enough (with our third ascendancy) to chill and add another 40% to everything with hypothermia.

FInally - read the thread (at least ALL of the first post and the most recent pages) - TONS of great info about gearing, tactics, and mechanics... POE is so solo, but you are not alone. :)

Maybe this is sticking my hand in a bee's nest, but why all the talk of expensively crafted weapons? Isn't this build already super strong and whacking all content?

Don't get me wrong, I kinda want to try it on my own character, if only to actually having done it once, but it's not needed. And it's probably much the same for this Arc build, which is also super strong (I've played it several times in the past, and it looks even stronger now).

I appreciate the top players in here are maybe swimming in exalts from going to maps on day 1 and selling lots of stuff, but for the vast, vast majority of players, we'll never have that chance, due to the obscene costs of (multi) crafting in this game.

I don't intend this post as criticism, not really, but more as a reality check perhaps.
