Witch - [1.2] KuteKitteh’s Tanky Arcer, 20k+ Effective DPS, Atziri/HC-viable. Poor-man’s BM Arc included - Forum

I'm not too keen on BM for Beyond league either. I'm probably gonna try rolling without EB/MOM and just get 158% life and use fewer links for Arc and toggle Arctic Armor or rely on granites. Level 42 so far and the build feels pretty solid, though the single target damage is definitely weak compared to shotgun projectiles. Can take a decent amount of time to kill tanky targets. Need to get my hands on Spell Echo...

OK quick question. Is immortal call cwdt? Because when I link it to CWDT it does not show as affected by it. Am I supposed to manually cast it? IGN:FlamingGash	Posted by Noobin_it_up on Aug 26, 2014, 8:05:49 AM Quote this Post
" OK quick question. Is immortal call cwdt? Because when I link it to CWDT it does not show as affected by it. Am I supposed to manually cast it? CWDT can only cast spells that meet its level requirement and triggers after a certain amount of damage has been taken. Read the description.

Cant seem to find an explanation on the interweb :) Thx http://www.poemods.com T1 life for rings is the "virile" prefix. For Boots, it's "Athlete's." etc. etc. it's basically the highest tier of rolls a type of item can achieve. " crowdog wrote: Also after I finish the 81 point tree on the BM arcer and get BM. What do you suggest we go for next as I try and complete the level 85 portion of your tree... the life and block down by the duelist or the lightning damage up by the witch? If you feel you need DPS, lightning damage. If you need survivability (e.g. Hardcore league), get the HP/block.

Btw Combat Stamina is more efficient use of 4 points than the ones near Marauder. 24% more armor, 10 str, same regen, same life. https://poebuilder.com/character/AAAAAgMAghDfsESrj6YsnFWu5Ox2ERBYVcaD2wQHHwIyNDpY5wudrqcI2CQ2xfO-J2EG6drdFm8abONqNukkqlFgT32AVn7i-tKplVNSRZ2a4OvuuJPYvf4Ktz5Bh_nogsco-ngNqW618jWSn8sOPN-_FHGnMBiRUEcUIN--hcVCSysNTLN5aAthXz_BBKC08wYnL-Of7w68n1OlDF8cp8auWK826DpS Loot Filter -- https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1490867 Filter Parser -- https://github.com/ffhighwind/Path-of-Exile-Filter-Parser Last edited by ffhighwind on Aug 26, 2014, 5:29:28 PM	Posted by ffhighwind on Aug 26, 2014, 10:52:03 AM Quote this Post
Hello KuteKitteh, First I wanted to thank you for your build. I've always liked the arc concept, but I play mostly solo and the need for endless kiting was always a major nono for me. Thanks to your build, I don't need to kite anymore I can go straight on :) I switched to BM at level 48, and have been using a 4 link arc-fc-lightpen-lifeleech since then. I used mostly self found gear, spent maybe 10c on perandus, lazhwar and armor pieces, and the leveling phase was really ok. I'm now at level 67, and just bought the doedre and went EW-conductivity. Prior to that, I felt the clearing speed was a bit low, but with dual curse OMG :) This really changes a lot. On the tanky side I'm sitting at 75/48 block chances; only 2.7K life, but I feel safe. Next step will be to buy the Cybil, and maybe drop the lifeleech gem we'll see. Thanks again --Powernic	Posted by Powernic on Aug 26, 2014, 12:01:22 PM Quote this Post

I didn't realize the first node in it was a .3% regen so I always thought it was 1.5% regen and 5% life for the 4 points.

In fact, you could run EW + Warlord's mark to externalize your leech, and run SE instead. Once you get a good health pool or a Cybil's, you can start relying on instant/catalysed flasks more. Thanks for the positive feedback!
