Enki's Arc Witch - maybe back some day?

Hi,

here is my Built and i would be grateful for advices to optimze it.

I am swaying between a better WatchersEye and Gloves with Culling Strike.

Its also a riddle to me, why my Manareg is negative, ingame i have arround 1100 Manareg.

I am glad for every suggestion.

I was thinking Watcher's eye for the next hit, but getting one with two good clarity/vitality passives are veery expensive.

Any thoughts on Darkness Enthroned by the way? Can 2 good abyssal jewels beat a medium to high end belt effects? Or is %mana recovery rate just too good.


Get an Essence worm and put Wrath in there and get annoint your amulet. Those 2 things are really cheap and really good to do.
Get a watcher's eye with mana recovery rate (imo the best mod for us if you want a cheap one, you could also get the damage to mana before life). If you want to splurge, it'll probably be around 50ex for both mods, so don't bother with that yet :P.
I think the large cluster jewel is only worth it if you get at least 2 notables from it, so scintilating idea and disorienting display for example.
For wands look for good mana and % increased spell damage. Those 2 mods should carry you for a while. If you feel like you want to try crafting, get some lvl 84 shaper wands (or maybe crusader) and use some deafening essence of woe on them till you get a good mana roll.
Darkness enthroned is probably pretty good until you can go really highend with the mana recovery rate.
If you run the agnostic, you probably don't need a life flask anymore, consider using atziri's promise.

That should give you something to do. :P Make sure you keep your resses fixed when you go for Essence worm and Darkness enthroned.

I'd suggest go for a watcher's eye with mana recovery rate.
Go for a crown of the inward eye with the arcane cloak enchant, or even without the enchant it's probably worth to get the unique.
Get the new ritual gloves, they're great for sustain.
Maybe see if you can find boots with MS, life and mana as prefixes, or ones with 2 of those mods and an open prefix, so you can craft the 3rd.
Follow the jewels Enki is suggesting. I'd get tempered mind and pure talent (don't forget to connect to the scion) and probably the anima stone. Personally I really like healthy mind aswell, but I'll leave that one to you.
In addition, your large cluster jewel works with shock a lot, but we can't shock. Try to get notables that are in the guide.
Try to get weapons with high mana and % increased spell damage. We already get a lot of flat lightning damage, so that stat is less useful for us. (I've found essences of woe to be pretty good to spam a few for high mana and guaranteed % spell damage)

Well, that should be enough for a while I think. :P

I think your mana regen on POB is negative, because of the agnostic. You can somewhere check the box with always on full life. See if that makes a difference.
Can I use Crackling Lance on this gear or do I need a new set of gear, gems and jewels?

Yes? No? Maybe? Save it for another build?
Not good, no mana used means very little damage. The Heist variant

is nice but I think this is the best option.

Gear is probably fine for the most part, jewels may be as well, but I think the support gems are fairly different.
Once I finish crafting my 6l to tide me over until I get Cloak of Defiance, and finish the Arc setup with Elemental Focus, should I worry about critical chance at all or is it a waste of a modifier?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but we need crit to help proc Elemental Overload. This is why we use Ice golem.

You just need to be careful on what mods you have on items. You want to look for "Global crit chance" and "crit chance for spells".

Also correct me if I'm wrong but because of EO stats like crit multiplier are a waste.

You are correct, crit multi does nothing if you have EO.

Cheers! For some reason I had no idea about anointing, so that was an easy improvement. I also modded my cluster jewel into an improved version and got a Watcher's Eye with life/mana recovery rates.

Haven't gotten around to DE or Wrath ring yet, the readjustment of resistances is a drag. Decent abyssal jewels are fairly expensive as well.

A few follow-up questions that occurred to me:
- Would Malachai's artifice + golem skill gem function well as a ring, perhaps instead of Essence Worm? In theory it's a +50% damage modifier (as well as some extra resistances, and an extra skill gem slot elsewhere). Not sure how consistent it is, but I could see it working against bosses.
- Is there any reason why the passive tree uses the two big agility/strength nodes instead of investing two points in "Practical Application" which provides 5 more str/ag as well as protection against stuns while casting? Of course only applicable when you need the nodes in the first place to qualify for gems. It seems a straight up upgrade.
