Hi!
I have a witch level 74, low life/ critical focused. All I will say is this number: 412. Guess what it is. I have stopped using it in level 68+ maps, because you die just too much (got 2K dps on my arc with only a 3 link. But you get destroyed way too fast past a certain difficulty cap for it to be efficient). Even if you can achieve stuff like 10K + hits, damage is not reliable enough on average for high level monsters, plus chaos damage, + mana problem (got 120% regen + clarity and still run out of mana at every pack, need to rely on potions). Biggest problem I see is crowd control, you basically only have your totem skele, and against flickering mobs, you just get stun locked in place, not able to run, and not able to cast any spell except your totem that gets destroyed too fast to be usefull. BUT, it is really fun to play till before high level maps, because you just destroy everything really fast (1 yellow monster, really nice). |

hi, i got 5k dps with arc lvl 18 and 3 supports (cast speed, critical damage and add lightning) and im curently lvl 81. I think in lvl 84 and with 6L i could reach 7k. (but hard to made this build --> more than 30 regret orb used... and only 1,5k dps when i was lvl 70)
Edit: lvl92 up to 28k DPS Arc 6chain 5L+IIQ + herald thunder/ 13k EnergyShield / Doriany belt light + leech applie to ES, but i prefer ligth penetration gem so 18/20k DPS. can do rare RIP 78maps alone. Last edited by kifouil#6285 on Dec 13, 2014, 4:14:28 AM

I got currently 67lv witch and i do 2,2k dps with arc. I do fine with minions and spark totem.
My combination: arc + Increased critical chance + Chance to flee + Faster casting. While i have 6 zombies spectral and totem thay say alive because enemys cant focus anything while thay try to flee. In bosses i change summon skeletons on spell totem so i can focus on bosses more easily. First fresh exalts in three hours. Seven days zero drops. Wtf?

Hi, I wanted to share my build with you guys mainly as feedback in comparison with your stated builds.
I've been playing for about 6 weeks now, brand new to PoE and used foxtactics' arc guide. Google it you'll find it, with that being said I'd like to go over the basic elements of his build and what I did to mine since release of Herald of Thunder (fox's build was released just before HoT) The build is has great sruvivability. But took a bit to get there. Skills:Arc+Echo+CurseOnHit+WarlordsMark+AssassinsMark, you can alternate adding life leech to that or a faster cast if you have a 6L. Where the build gets insanely tanky, is with the addition of Lightning Coil. This armor is great because it reduces phys dmg by 15% converts it to light dmg. It looks scary when you see the -60% light res, but once you get your dual res gear it's tanky for me and I'm just now running 70maps. My current resistances are capped and for the coil I had to get my light res waaay up to remain capped. I think im over capped now at 125% light res. I haven't fully understood the breakdown but I know that the extra res helps absorb the phys attacks I'm sustaining from vipers, flower looking Venus spotters and skeleies. My energy shield you might be wondering, is at 87... Two more things I did that made this build fun for me (able to farm high maps solo).. First: 3 link boots high dual res 35-40% cold/light with RRR with CWDT+EndCry+ImmCall (the 4th slot on my boots I saved for Herald Of Ice; I'll explain in a min) This will pretty much act as energy shield, when you do take dmg it triggers invulnerability and you won't take any dmg for a short while. The trick is to not level the 3 gems higher than say 7-9. This allows the dmg taken to remain low so it trigger more often. Second: Since the release of HoT & Tendrills, my build had to hybrid from fox's to include those gems. Here's what I did (best proven dps/defense method) Buy a Golden Dragon Mask (lightning will freeze instead of shock), buy a pyre ring and a Herold of ice. Why? The Dragon mask will make your arc freeze your mobs, but you will not bble to trigger the critical storms of Herald of thunder. So you have to put on the pyre ring and run Herald of thunder and ice. By doing this you Perma freeze and storm crit everything just running by. The defense: I mentioned the best phys absorb armor lightning coil... well that's a must. The second part is spell totem with these 4 geslms: Tendrills+CritInc+LifeLeech+SpellTotem I want to go into more detail but on a phone is just too much. Current stats: LVL 79 11.5 dps, 1500 armor, +245% cast speed modifier (pledge of hands 5link), 2.5k HP Tendrills totem adds another 5.6k dps. Appox 18 dps, the best part is the ability to freeze, crit, tendrill, arc, dual curse and life leech for me and my totem all at the same time. All I can say is frozen worms & frogs shattering over head into a million pieces like Wonka vision is pretty bad ass. All that with out getting hit once! Farming bosses: I keep them occupied with casting skeleies (alone single slot) and Tendrills totem, extra time I have I arc. Hope this was helpful. I spent a lot of time theory building since new HoT & Tendrills. Message me ig if you have any questions or want skill tree help. -MissArcJangle Last edited by MissBowJangle#3294 on Nov 12, 2014, 11:14:53 PM

" Some feedback: 1. Its appreciated to post such an elaborate post 2. You dug up an old thread, which is outdated. Build ideas are not really supposed to be in other persons threads but rather its better to post one yourself, so that more people see it and it doesnt polute other thre ds 3. 2.5k hp is not survivable in maps, not even with mitigation. Its one shot material basically. 4k hp is the general consensus around lvl80 with all round mitigation (either block for spells and attacks, acrobatics and phase, max res increase with armor etc) or 5+ without any Ign: Leary_AscendedNecro

I have 36k Tooltip 700 multi on my arc build, so how is this the "highest dps arc build"
Edit, I realized this is an opinion thread. My apologies. xD If you're looking to up your dps, it is quite expensive when it comes to Arc. So obviously currency is a factor when trying to upgrade total dps. If you need any specific information or have any questions about how to cheaply and effectively improve your dps, contact me in game : tuscanii :P WTB Pain Pills!
