Your gear is better than mine and I'm doing T16 maps. You should be absolutely crushing T4-T5 lol. How much did that belt cost you? 5ex+?
Yeah, your build should be fine with yellow high tiers, short of obnoxious rolls.

I think my build hits the wall, until I get smart enough to make several exalts. Feel decent about my wands, and I am running a yellow cloak over defiance mostly because I haven't had any luck 6Ling one. Just trying to get money, and then Ill do the uber lab to roll for some enchantments.

Hey everyone, I played POE a bit on the PS4 a couple years ago but built a PC last year, and with the new league I thought I would download and start playing again. I have gotten further than I ever did before in POE, and I decided to make my first major character an arc witch!

I have made it to level 88 and things are going pretty good, but can definitely feel it getting a bit more squishy so I am looking for any advice on what specific things I should be looking to improve/replace/fix on my current build. I really appreciate any advice you can provide! Thank you!

A few things I can see...

1.)Get a healthy mind jewel and socket where you have Pure talent (move pure talent down near scion start area. This will add a bunch of mana to your pool (at the expense of HP). The bigger your mana pool the better.
2.) Spec into Agnostic keystone for added survivability.
3.) you don't need your +30 strength node anymore so you can repec that somewhere else (Agnostic).
4.) More fertile catalysts on ring/belt/amulet
5.) if you have the currency go get a Watchers Eye jewel like described in the guide. However this is very expensive.

I can't offer much in the way of your gear as much of it is better than mine. :)

More mana on wands, you kind of have to find a wand with mana and then Harvest craft on top of it because there is no Harvest craft for mana.

Better enchant on the hat, expensive unless you just want to run a bunch of labs yourself.

30/30 gloves for mana sustain, like these


Belt with mana and health, might have to give up the abyssal socket to find one at a reasonable cost.

Check your permanent gear: hat, chest, amulet, for low rolls and use divines on the lowest until they are 90% or more of the possible on the stats that matter.

More catalysts on the amulet as you can afford them.

Healthy Mind due north of the starting point

Look at the flask section, you don't need two life flasks, here is what I think works best.

If you can change your boots to these

then this

can replace the silver flask but those boots with the 70% enchant are expensive.

The unique mana flask you are using is very bad for the build, damage scales with mana spent and the flask completely removes the benefit of Archmage.

Dump some health skill points if needed to get: the mana by Battle Rouse, The Agnostic, Forethought.

See if you still need the +30 strength and dex nodes

By the start change the spell damage nodes over to the +10 int nodes.

Large cluster jewel with Disorienting Display + another notable, again, dump some health nodes to get points needed.

Anima stone to run another golem, can go in the large cluster.

Switch ascendancy points from Heart of Destruction over to Bastion of Elements.

My final analysis before respeccing - the build puts out the damage but it is squishy, very squishy. You should be able to get it to level 95 and do most content with good gear but expect to get one shot on the regular. I didn't see any way to avoid some one shots but upping the damage seemed to help there be fewer of them. I could avoid a bunch of small hits priming me for getting taken out by a medium or large hit because I killed the small hitters. That didn't prevent very large physical crit one shots but it was better.

I am now running a Necro for mapping which I will get to level 98 and use for currency farming and fun playstyle but leveled a second witch that's doing an Elementalist crit build which is miserable for mapping because it is clunky to play but does well on bosses. To be honest, Enki's build is kind of the sweet spot between the two and if I only had one witch then that's what I would be doing and would just learn to live with the one shots.

Awesome thank you so much, those are some simple things that I knew I was overlooking so I really appreciate it. That should definitely help with the survivability. My damage right now for ARC is hitting around 350-500k right now so that has been okay but I know I need to get my health to 4K plus still!

This is so helpful thank you for putting in the time to go through the build and pick it apart/help suggest where to go from here. It's good to know about the strengths/weaknesses about it, so I'll learn to live with the fact that I may be one shot hah. I have thought about starting a new character already but I am enjoying the playstyle and would like to see how far I can take it before switching to a new build.

I will definitely look at adjusting my gear/nodes to these suggestions and go from there!
