[PoE 3.14 Build] Arc Shadow (Assassin)

Intro & build description

If you have never played Arc before, it is in a pretty good place right now and nothing is holding you back checking it out in an upcoming league. Although build uses two Void Batteries which can be quite expensive at the beginning of the league, they are by no means necessary for the build to function. If you enjoy fast and laidback gameplay, Arc might be the skill for you as it will automatically target most of the enemies for smooth gameplay experience.

 

 

Build Pros

  • Build can be played as a league starter
  • Cheap to start with
  • Engaging and laidback gameplay due to automated monster targeting Arc uses
  • Build scales very well with each upgrade you make
  • Fast clear speed

Build Cons

  • Min-maxing the build can get quite expensive
