Sooo decided to have some fun with a coc build to end the league
I am following this guide https://pobb.in/5TEEgwVougLQ
And my current build looks like this https://pobb.in/zcDusmDNdKRG
I must have missed something crucial, my arc does pitifully small dmg, compared to the target from the guide
My arc : 46k
Build arc : 3mil
I copied the gear from the guide to my build and leveled the gems, and its still not even close
T6 maps are painful
Alright, Im playing the same build and here what u can improve:
- Improve the wand, its your main dmg contributor. "Gain as X" is direct multiplier, so it will give a lot more dmg (aim for 2x25%+). Try getting crit chance as well.
- Socket wand with +1 to all spell skills
- Upgrade skill gems! They need to be 21 (+1 from corruption).
- Level up! PoB shows you are only 78, 12 more skillpoints is a lot.
- I didnt find Rakiata being good for anything but arbiter of ash. Most of the monster and map bosses have little to no res, but even if you get tanky ones, maxed out Elemental weakness is way better. In addition, rakiata is only in CoC slot, meaning spark doesnt get this buff and deals way less dmg to resistant bosses -> triggers CoC way less often -> way less dps. El weakness doesnt have this problem.
- Replace Blink (if you have trouble clearing T6 you dont even need it lul) with Charge Regulation (dont forget to anoint Infusion of Power on ammy). Latter gives multiplicative(!) crit chance increase. Having 100% on Spark is crucial for triggering CoC (yours is only 60%)
- PoB shows you actually have 1 empty jewel slot
Also in PoB you need to put "arc deals 200% more damage" in Configuration->Custom Modifiers, because it doesn't count arc's light infusion dmg increase for some reason. And in Configuration->for Effective DPS put "Shock stacks" to 2 (because you have Strike Twice asc notable)
UPD: quick PoB comparison

At a glance, I'd say you need maligaros virtuosity gloves. They let you lock your crit dmg bonus at 250 so you can put pinpoint crit on everything without losing dmg.
Edit:
At a second glance I'd recommend dropping rakiatas from arc. You're a stormweaver. Hit them with elemental weakness and exposure if you want to lower their resistances. Instead socket in whatever the gem is called that increases energy gained
You have 20% less crit and 300% less crit DMG that I can see after a few seconds of looking and 22 less levels
Because its not a bloodmage. Your welcome.
I’m using coc frostbolt infernalist
Hey you can auto upload your build and it'll show you all these stats??
I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?
I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
