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.

Can someone explain to me why your ES has to be >43% of your max life for mind over matter to work well?

Mind over matter says 30% of damage goes to your mana, in our case ES, first. This means that your effective health now consists of 70% health and 30% ES.
EH=H+ES
H=0,7EH and ES is 0,3EH
let's say EH=100
100=0,7*100+0,3*100
100=70+30
This was to prove that H=70% and ES=30% of your EH.
To see how much your ES is of your health you can divide it it by your health.
30/70=0,428571
So let's round that to 43%.

Has anyone other than Enki started working on a possible Archmage variant to the tree? Right now I am sitting at ~500k dps (900k with crit flask + shocked enemy) but was tempted to try Archmage to see if I could push that further.

How much of a difference does +1 to all intelligence/lightning skill gems make on amulets? Hard to POB. Considerably more than e.g. % increased spell damage?

Here is a post I made a while back (last league arc build) which may interest you:

This is how much my tooltip damage changed from different crafts on an amulet, good guide to show how comparable different types of mods are. (but the real power of +1 intel/lightning are at arc levels: 23, 27 and 31 when you get the additional chain). I always go for the +1 on amulet.


Start Damage: 178,367

Prodigal Projection + 12,103

+1 all Lightning gems +11,570
= 189,937

+1 all intelligence gems +11,470
= 189,837

35% crit multi +11,490
= 189,857

10% cast speed = +8,156
= 186,523

1 dmg per 15 intel = +5,725
= 184,092

36% crit strike = +5,280
= 183,647

25% spell damage +5,303
= 183,670

25% Lightning damage = +5,112
= 183,479

Thanks for the info. Why does +1 to lightning gems grant more damage than +1 to intelligence gems does? Am I misunderstanding what constitutes an intelligence gem?

I am curious if it wouldn't be useful to move toward either Blunt Trauma or One With the River in the staff area in the upper left area of the skill tree, catty-corner to Arcane Potency. Apart from not giving more life, which a proper gem could do, these nodes seem like they would be really good for increasing damage output.

My arc witch is level 86 at time of writing and getting started on yellow maps, carefully. Boy, have I ever learned to dislike porcupines!

This does not work. Those nodes are attack based, and we use spells.

Hey Enki,


Had a quick question. Does Zealots Oath apply to "life regen" "life leach" "life per second" ? So would these apply to energy shield now instead?

Can anyone chime in on how they deal with Sirus high awakening last phase? The golems constantly die - impossible to damage him while resummoning constantly.
