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

I can see this being useful with Conductivity.

Hello everyone and my apologies for the newbie question. I've played POE three or four years ago and it seems that much has changed... At level 85 now and I really need some gear advice. Hopefully my character is visible to everyone.

At my level I no longer feel safe. For example, I only do Ultimatum encounters if I've recently leveled as it is certain death. Not sure if it is my play style, connection, PC, or just gear. Probably just missing a critical step somewhere. But feel like i have no defenses. :)

Thanks for taking the time to read and/or assist.

Any tips on keeping the golems alive? Mine seem to die so often and I find myself without their protection/damage buff, which ultimately leads to me getting killed in a milisecond.

I have a doubt if someone can help me, im upgrading the build and have a ring with "Gain arcane surge on hit with spells" and have the buff activated everytime i hit, so, should i quit de arcane surge gem from the link with Arcane cloak and put another gem there? or its still worth to have it there for the increase duration? (Srry for the english)

I'd probably keep the surge in your arcane cloak links. That arcane surge is lvl 20 (or ideally 21) and it's effect is stronger than the on hit one from your ring (which is probably counted as lvl1). But you could take it out, I don't know what to replace it with tho.

Might be different last league than now, but I didn't really have problems with them, as elemancer respawns them. You can give them some more health by giving them quality (,use the vendor recipe when you get them to 20. They will level up quickly again).

thanks for the fast answer and info! ^^

Is this a good modifier or should I go with #% increased cast speed when focused?

I'm trying to get POB to show me what I can do while focussed but I can't find an option.

Remember that mana recovery rate and total mana is basically our tank. If you're finding yourself squishy, this is where I'd look. Checking your gear/passives I notice the below improvements that should help with total mana + mana recovery rate. Enjoy :)

-----

Atziri's Foilble will help you a lot. Ungils is just for beginning.
Leyline gloves help a LOT
Mana recov on belt also helps a lot
Boot enchant is also super important
If you can swing Crown of the Inward Eye while retaining 75/75/75 resists, do it.
Your mana roll on CoD is pretty low. Worth divining a higher one if you have the orbs.
Flasks. You're not using the recommended ones under Flasks section. Unsure how much this is effecting you though
You're also missing a mana passive next to Battle Rouse.

First off, thank you for this guide! I'm pretty much a new player, having just reached maps for the first time, and this guide has been an absolute lifesaver.

On to my question: I've just reached tier 11 maps, and I'm having a bit of a struggle. My DPS feels fine (except boss DPS feels super low), but survivability is hit or miss. I'll feel fine on 100% HP, then suddenly get killed from 100 to 0 before I can react.

I realize I can use some health on my gloves and body, but is there any other easy tip at this point to improve surviability?
