Path of Exile

[Tommy John Surgery]

I want to level with Arc because chain lightning is always my favorite arpg caster archetype. How good is it in poe2 for leveling? It doesn't have to be meta, but I also don't want to waste my time trying to use a skill that ends up being insanely slow or annoying to build for.

My first poe character was an arc totem templar (during Legion I think) and I have fond memories of it, though I have played very casually on and off since.

Something like Spark spell totems seem more viable than Arc at the moment with the Ancestral Bond keystone changes.
