Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page & POE 2 Arc Summary
"Sorry, poor choice of words on my part, what I was trying to say is that you cannot just swap out the Arc and Crackling Lance gems for a boss fight. I do think that with some minor changes to passives and some different support gems it would be viable to put in CL to do some bossing. Perhaps it would be worth it to make the change for Sirus and then to run some elders, shapers, and mavens. I don't know the return on that and if it would be worth the effort but it is probably less work than my solution of making a second witch for bosses. Having a character that is designed for single target is pretty nice - mine is a complete glass cannon and dies often but phasing shaper, elder, and maven in about 5 seconds makes up for it. |

I have a question regarding the weapons for this build. I’m an new player on my second build this league so I don’t have a great understanding of the best methods to achieve the higher end weapons.
I see in the gear section under weapons there are four weapons listed there, just so happens that on my first build I picked up two void sceptres I level 85 and 86 with a shaper base, which if you see the guide is the fourth weapon suggested. Now I don’t have multi mod but I know how to get it, I have both crafted mods ie the trigger and double damage when focussed, my question is before applying those mods how do I get the sceptre to the state it would have been in prior to multi mod.... He has both 100+ spell damage and 100+ mana. So how do I get those two mods and only those two before crafting mods on it. Bare in mind I have no understanding of if alt regal is good or fossils etc. Secondly is this an expensive process, I’m down to my last 20 ex for both weapons. Thanks |

" You shouldn't worry too much about base types. Only if you use wands, they'll both have to be wands. But sceptres, daggers etc can be wielded together. More important are the stats on the items. I suggest looking on the trade site for weapons with prefixes you like (Probably high mana and spell damage) and then you can multimod from there. About how expensive it is... That's hard to say. The wands will be more expensive depending on your standards. cost me about 20 ex in essences to craft, but I really wanted t1 mana on it. But you could also just go for decent stats on the market, buy that and multimod them to finish. If you're interested in crafting, I can definitely recommend https://poedb.tw/us/mod.php and https://www.craftofexile.com/ |

The issue for me is I’m playing on console thus my options for buying bases from websites etc don’t exist. The trade market on Xbox is awful and obviously there are a lot less items for sale. I’ve looked hard and can’t find anything that matches what i want.
Because I have the two void sceptre shaper bases just lying around in my stash Im going to use them. You seem to be suggesting essences are a good option for crafting? The thing is all I want on the sceptre before I multi mod are spell damage and mana but I’ve never in my limited play time seen a sceptre that I’ve used an essence on that only has two mods on it thus will I have to annul the other mods off? What essences are best used for spell damage and mana? Thanks |

Hmm, if you want to use those 2 for crafting, and just want mana and spell damage on them I'd say go to craftofexile, put in the mods you want and see whether the site advices you to use fossils, essences (of woe), alt spam or chaos spam. Afterwards, yes you will probable have to annul stuff.
If you want to multimod suffixes only, it's possible to craft "prefixes cannot be changed" for 2 ex and then safely use an orb of scouring to remove the suffixes. And then you can multimod. |

That was really helpful, going to give all that a try and see what happens lol.
Thanks again. |

So running this build @ L85 right now (first character this high) and running into the needed upgrades now. The recommendation is 5L Defiance and then further. Is the 5L that much of a difference that it will overcome my 6L Rare right now? I am worried about losing DPS since I'll have to take a support gem off.
If I am worried for nothing, please let me know. Thanks in advance from a new player! |

"Maven orb hit, now I need to get the second hat and then I can combine them. Also working on some other stuff but it seems my expectations were a bit off. My rng with Harvest was running pretty hot for a while, now even after buying watchstones to juice it I have barely gotten any decent crafts to use or sell. This is the 1/2 of the hat done Working on this wand for my Necro to get my crit chance up, probably going to be a grind to get mana on it but all the good stuff is suffix so it should be possible. Just need to find or buy some augs and r/a life and this belt will be useful. |

"Tough call, probably a dps decrease but survivability increase. It is really hard to run your end game chest while trying to link it so I would probably wait. One advantage is that with harvest you can save a 5l craft to fix links, just make sure it isn't a 5 socket craft. What I would suggest is that you take off the chest and hat to see what you need for resists without them. Work on getting that sorted out so you can put on Crown of the Inward Eye and Cloak of Defiance (when you can 6l it) because both don't have resistances. The belt is a good place to look for resistances, not with jewels in what you have now, but with a different belt. You also want boots with a 70% mana regen enchant. It's not too bad to run lab yourself to do it, seems like less than 10 runs from my experience. |
