Enki's Arc Witch Memorial Page

Hey all,

i know this is a crit-arc build post, but its the most active thread regarding ARC atm, so ill ask here:

Iam building am Arc-witch atm,
but i cant chose to go crit or not yet.
I plan on dualwield

i dont realy plan on invest in spellcrit wands, but maybe i find some on my way.
I will use a +1 Tabula, as i dont have a 6L cloak and will not buy/link one before patch.

Witch tree should i chose?
Non-Crit tree



Crit tree


I will mostly map with this char, so getting vaalpact to forget about reflect is realy nice.
Please give me some ideas on those two trees. Should i change anything? Am i missing anything?

Thanks for your help!

@bcutter: Crit Arc will be stronger in the long run, but you are more gear- and level-reliant.
It's better to level as noncrit Arc until ~70 anyway and both trees aren't far off and can be respecced within the free quest respecs, so i'd say try noncrit, if it's not enough damage for your taste spec over to crit.

Btw. Vaal Pact is complete overkill for noncrit Arc, and the noncrit tree is overall a bit ineffective. I would rather suggest something like this:

Hey finally got my 5l CoD.. in your guide you suggest to use empower instead of life leach. I have only 1% lifeleach from my belt. Should i use empower or LL ?

Use Life Leech until you have 3% leech across your gear (belt + 2x weapons for example)

Hello!
At first I want to say thank you for great guide!
I have one question about dps. Im lvl 69 atm (Amelanchier nickname) and I have 3441 dps on arc unbuffed. I have two items for replace in my stash (3821 unbuffed dps)

but I cant get right colours on my boots so I didnt wear new dress yet.
Is that dps ok, or I did something wrong?

Hey, thanks! :)
Nothing wrong with your DPS, Arc (spells in general) scale best through gem levels, and yours is only Lv16 without Empower. Only getting Arc to Lv20 without an additional Empower will probably double your DPS.

Love this build.

Hello. I'm still a beginner but i wish to know why keep these gems so low lvl:

CwDt (Lv4) - Enfeeble (Lv7) - Vaal Haste - Increased Duration

I understand that vaal haste can get too dex intense but enfeeble is int based and cwdt only level 4? Just wish to know...

We keep CwDt + Enfeeble low in order to have Enfeeble proc whenever you're hit (in most cases).
You could also take off the CwDt and selfcast a higher level Enfeeble, but i know most players (myself included) are a bit lazy to selfcast curses, especially in a high-pace build like this one.

Updated the guide a bit, especially parts of the gearing section and the DPS comparison screenshots.
Thinking about writing a little FAQ, would you guys want one?
