Enki's Arc Witch - maybe back some day?

Enki states in the beginning of his build "None of the current Witch ascendancies synergize enough with this build concept." Even though the POB shows that Shaper of Winter and Hypothermia does more DPS, I've always questioned it because we are investing everything into Lightning, then choosing an Ascendancy with cold for just one cold skill gem.

Has anyone tried this build with Shaper of Storms to continue with all Lightning skills? If this could work, what could replace Hypothermia?

If you really wanted to drop Shaper of Winter, you could replace Hypothermia with a generic damage support. Probably either Cruelty Support or Empower. If your crit chance is high enough, then maybe Controlled Destruction (you'd have to make sure you still have good uptime for elemental overload).

But a big advantage of elementalist is that you can run elemental ailments without needing to do that element's damage. Most of Shaper of Storm's value comes from being able to shock with non-lightning dmg. If you're playing arc, you don't get any value from that.

I have played PoE in 3 seasons and all 3 seasons i played with the Arc Witch. Why? Because your guide is simply the most perfect guide for beginners like me. I tried looking at your profile to see if you got any more guides for any other classes, but unfortunately i couldn't find anything. Even so, thank you for making me like this game, i don't think i would have been able to get into it otherwise :)

Any idea where the lack of DPS on my build is coming from? To me it seems like the differences are not that huge, but there's a 4kk gap.

Enki, with your build i managed to progress really far in this patch.

Any suggestion to enhance survivability or damage?

Keep up the good work.

Great build. Picked it up after coming back to the game after several years and it's lots of fun.

Can you dual wield fishing rods? Do you think you could get the fastest cast speed lightning warp with two fishing rods or with a +3 lightning 22% cast staff?

Unfortunately not, they count as 2H. I think 2x perfect Apeps would beat out a +3 max CS staff.

I wanted to tell you that this was an excellent response and the wisest one you've had regardless of the foolishness of having to deal with it.

Golems are back?

I recently got that amulet that lets you 7-link. Uul-Netol's something. Is anything I put in there an upgrade from the recommended unique?

Is this build doable but with trickster? someone tried?

so ive tried to kinda min-max this build during this league. its my 1st league btw.

for this moment, i tried uber elder and it was EASY


pob stats:


Significant upgrades that i made:

1)i maxed out chaos res with my gear, so i have 75/75/75/75 and dont need a chaos res flask. i grabbed armor flask instead (2nd life flask is viable too i think)

2)i used this cluster jewel


3)corrupted inpulsa with +1 socketed spell gems lvl


4)bought all awakened gems needed

5)took out some dexterity and minor max life nodes for ele damage in the tree (i had dexterety on my gear too, which allowed me to fill the requirements)
