Getting skyforth and another void battery pushes this skill to insane damage most people wouldn't believe.


what would you use to replace Power Charge on Crit if you get a skyforth?

also, would you be able to handle reflect with such massive damage?

I think maybe a threshold jewel that gave arc some kind of extra effect for single-target would be a decent fix.

Something like, "with 50 intelligence allocated in radius, arc calls down a lightning strike on the first target in the chain."

I like that idea.

Come on. With gear like that every skill is ridiculous. Thats hardly an argument towards "skill is balanced".


I definitely dont disagree. So yes, buff arc. It needs some love. AND MORE MTX!
I love pie.
Would like to see more threshold jewels all around.

To be fair though, arc is really good for clearing. It has huge 'AoE' and no targeting.

70c option

Call of the Brotherhood *2 = 100% lightning to cold
Avatar of Fire = 50% cold to fire
Cold to Fire = 50% cold to fire + % of cold added as extra fire
- - -
Elemental damage is now worth more than 3 times as much.
To put that in perspective... one Doyani's Scepter will add more than 300% increased damage.

I would like to know what numbers are hidden behind "insane damage most people wouldn't believe". It was good before Atlas. But after Atlas came its poor for bosses. Thank you.

Following is with 135k dps in base, over 200-240k dps buffed, but not enough for lvl 16 bosses. Without shield it has around 7.5k es and with Shield it has 11k es but dps is rather low, over 100k. Tried with Controlled Destruction or Maligaros Restraint but nothing much changed for boss fights.

With 2 voids, skyforths, lvl 4 empower lvl 21 arc, you can easily reach 600k+ dps. I've seen tooltips of 1.5mil on arc.

After testing with 2 Void Batteries there is no way to have 600k dps+ and be able to do high level maps. Its impossible, character is too squishy. With around 450k dps you can get around 6.5k energy shield and that is just too low. I am on Witch exile.

I havent tested but heard that assasin can get +30% more dps than witch, but I still doubt its able to do lvl 16 maps or Shaper.
