Path of Exile Gems PoE Builds, PoE Currency guide and other guides
Intro & build description
Arc as a spell is alright, however, when you make mines out of it, it gets much stronger. This build is very cheap, therefore great as a league starter but with currency investment it’s great as a very end-game option.
Build Pros
- Cheap - great as a league starter build
- Very fast clearspeed
- Can do reflect maps
- Can kill Shaper / Uber Atziri
Build Cons
- Not everyone likes mine builds

Build uniques / Example rare gear
Tip: Click on the item to view it on PoE Wiki or to view similar rare items in poe.tradeHelmet
Hubris Circlet / Eternal BurgonetLook for white helmet with 40% increased Arc Damage enchantment.
Best bet is to buy white helmet with said enchantment and craft life + resistances on it. Energy shield is a nice bonus.
Body Armour
Cloak of DefianceThis is a great body armour, which allows us to save several points on the passive tree. Mind over matter is in good place right now and will provide another layer of defense to the build.
Best part is that we only need 4-link in the body armour slot so it’s gonna cost you a lot less.
Another great option would be Inpulsa’s Broken Heart which synergyzes with the build extremely well but would require Mind over Matter keystone to be allocated on passive skill tree.
Gloves
Fingerless Silk GlovesLook for Fingerless Silk gloves with life and resistances. Some energy shield is a nice bonus.
Boots
Mutewind WhisperstepsGreat damage boots for the build giving us spell crit, elemental damage and some utility.
Left Ring
Diamond RingLook for Diamond Ring base with life, some resistances, mana and mana regeneration.
Amulet
Choir of the StormChoir of the Storm is superstrong amulet for the build, it synergyzes with the build ideally by giving mana, crit chance, lightning damage and Lightning bolt trigger on crit.
Choir of the Storm will probably be pretty expensive at the start of the league, so rare amulet with at leat 30% global crit chance and 30% global crit multiplier and some life would be great option.
Belt
Leather BeltLook for Leather belt with at least 85-90 life, some resistance and an open suffix so you can master-craft trap and mine damage on it.
2Hand Weapon
Tremor RodThis is core item for the build – start saving up for it as soon as possible.
You can do all endgame with 5-linked Tremor Rod and getting it 5-linked usually is pretty easy, however aim for 6-link.
Jewel
Jewel SetupOn jewels look for:
1.) Increased crit chance with lightning / elemental skills etc
2.) Increased crit multiplier with lightning / elemental skills etc
3.) Increased Maximum life
4.) Increased Lightning / Spell / Mine Damage
5.) Resistances and attributes if you are lacking
Flask
Flask Setup1.) Divine life Flask with bleed removal
2.) Divine life Flask with freeze removal
3.) Atziri’s Promise
4.) Sugeon’s Quicksilver Flask of Adrenaline
5.) Lavianga’s Spirit
Spell rotation:
Place mines -> Detonate, if you need, detonate additional time because Tremor rod allow us that.
Boss Killing:
Put Orb of Storms down to apply Elemental Weakness and Conductivity -> Throw maximum amount of Arctic Breath traps on the boss -> Put down Detonate mines Spell totem -> Drink Atziri’s Promise -> Start Placing mines quickly, when your mana drops to around half or 1/3, drink Lavianga’s Spirit and continue placing as many mines as you can while avoiding hits from boss.
This is an easy way to dish out lots and lots of damage and kick any bosses ass.
Is there a guide of some sort for leveling this?
Leveling is easy – just use Blade vortex until you can get 4-link. In it put Arc – Remote Mine – Minefield – Trap and mine damage gems and you are good to go until you get Tremor Rod.
How Arc work with this gems with out mines remote??
Tremor Rod.
