Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Ignore this post I asked a question and then saw you answered it already.

How important would you say The Agnostic is? It's nice on paper but with the big mana cost of Arc with Archmage it has put me in a lot of dangerous situations when the mana is drained and I'm unable to attack or even Flame Dash sometimes.

Would be interesting to hear what you think!

First of all big kudos for this build and all the work you've put into it!
So I have a question: I've been using this flask

for quite some time now and today it suddenly hit me that Archmage boost depends on mana cost. And so I wonder does this flask negate Archmage effect or flask's mana cost removal works some other way? I can't say I lack damage, but I barely scratched yellow maps so far (time and currency starved to push further and/or juice maps).
Anyways gonna check it out, but I'm yet to get accustomed to not see damage numbers as a measure of my dmg output... Yes, all the time spent in D3 and Grim Dawn %)

this build is worsest i played,if you are see here dont play this build i'm not joking man this is worsest if you dont believe play it you will see why worsest...

A very well constructed and thought out post.

Thanks for your contribution.

First of all, check if your damage numbers change while it's active. If it goes way down, then you have your answer.

Ayman, you might check out my gear which was pretty darn cheap....maybe 60 chaos and the gems were about 100 chaos. I am only level 81 and the tree is complete except for filling out some life nodes and another jewel or 2. https://pastebin.com/KY0gSjVu

5k mana
5k life
mana regen 508/sec
I strongly believe in buying 1/20 quality gems as soon as you can afford them especially in your arc links. You will notice that the only arc link I didn't quality was lightning pen and that is because the awakened version is pretty cheap in a few weeks.

Ok thank you
How is your damage to bosses and survivability in red maps

Just wondering what upgrades i could work on next with this build i can do maps but my mana sustain against bosses isn't great, im 2/3 trigger socketed gems so i will be putting that on my wand next obviously change tabula to a rare with mana etc.... and my two stone ring is awful i know, but if someone can give me some sort of advice on how i can sustain my mana better and overall damage upgrade for T16's would be awesome!

Definitely feel you on the lack of transparency in this game for the amount of damage you are actually dealing at any particular moment. Not sure if that's by GGG's design, or if it would just not work very well because PoE has WAY more complexity to its damage calculations than other games.

Don't use that flask, it will neutralize the effect of Archmage and turn your damage into absolute garbage in the endgame. You're way better off with an enduring eternal mana flask of warding (at least that's my favorite suffix because you can get so much more uptime out of a mana flask than any other type of flask).

But TarrasqueSorcerer is right, you can easily observe the effect on your damage if you hover over your Arc tooltip DPS and then pop the flask. I'd imagine the number plummets as soon as you use the flask and snaps back to normal as soon as the flask effect is finished.

Very nice guide ! Thanks Enki
