Enki's Arc Witch - maybe back some day?

So I'm not quite understanding why we don't use normal RF after a point. It's a spell damage increase for minimal requirement since we're constantly regenning with Kitava's Teachings.

Another question: Would Inpulsa's not be worth it here? I know you'd be sacrificing res to allocate somewhere else as well as no mana modifier, but the damage increase from shock seems more than worth it.

IMO the real sacrifice for the body armour is the 10% damage taken from mana, which you can have on both Cloak and shaper influenced rare but not impulsa. You can probably get away with it with 10% damage taken from mana watcher's eye, but I would personally prefer using both. Increases EHP by a lot.

I'm running regular RF myself. Since you don't want to run out of mana under harsh conditions, I'd suggest you try running it in hideout with all buffs OFF except for clarity. If you cannot sustain it then probably don't run it. Another thing is you'll have to be careful about map mods that reduce max resistance.

I currently don't have a chest piece that has 10% damage taken right now, so it might not be a bad tradeoff until I can actually get one.

I've also started using regular RF too. It just seems good with enough sustain.

Are flask clusters actually that useful? Mana flask is only a small part of total recovery, after all, and the only other useful effect from them is +% max mana. I'm considering aura effect clusters instead, or skipping mediums entirely.

Yeah I'm not sure either. I'm using curse based medium cluster right now to boost conductivity + having culling strike and unnerve for cursed enemies. The name for the notables is Tempt the Storm/Wish for Death/Master of Fear. Getting all of them on a single jewel is impossible so I use two. Boosting wrath should also be a good option, especially since we can get culling strike/unnerve on gloves.

Before I got decent arc crit chance I was even using a crit based medium cluster. It has some interesting effects like

* (Pressure Points) small chance to deal double damage on crit despite having elemental overload
* (Quick Getaway) increase movement if crit recently

on top of overall crit chance it provides.

Just being curious: What do you all consider "decent arc crit chance" ? 8% ? 10% ? 12% ?

Hey guys
I'd love to start with a fact that I'm completely new to this game and it's my first character.
So I've managed to get 4.4k HP and 4.6k mana, I've got every gem that's pointed in this guide and eq that I could afford (ofc according to this build).
The problem is that I constantly run out of mana after using arc four times. While I'm able to clear mobs, bosses are the main problem since my mana flasks are empty and so is my mana.
You've got any tips for me what I can improve so I could fully enjoy this build withouth spending tons of money?

You need to make your character public so we can see it. But do you have an Atziri's Foible? If not, that's where I'd start.

Had no idea you can check someone profile, it should be public now. I just got Atziri's Foible and it's better not flawless but better.

i'd imagine with your crit chance, you aren't keeping EO up that much so the DPS on PoB is probably inflated.
