With Fork it's abit low. For ledge/felshrine/docks farming,you can switch it for added fire, just be extra carefull for reflect packs.You can also pick the 3% cast speed 8/10% spell dmg nodes in the witch tree, and respec out of them later on.
For maps tho you'll definitely need life leech.

Just started using hatred and added fire dmg whilst farming like you said, it helped.
Got 2,2k dps on EK now at lvl 65.

I honestly dont know how you sustain the manapool needed for chain+EK lol
i cant use chain, only fork.

running clarity+grace+discipline to reduced mana
and hatred on reduced mana

e: also how do you get your ES so high? mines 900 with discipline running :/

I was inspired by your build, and started a Shadow myself.

Modified the tree some, going for some more resistance nodes, more minion life, 40% extra mana-regen, plus Minion Unstability (explodes when low on life). (dropped some armor and some life, but not that many) Other than that I am going more or less for your build (the latest one you updated).

EK is very fun. I am using EK - Fork - Faster Projectiles at the moment - and it east mana. But with those 2x 20% mana regen nodes I just got before going into the Witch tree helps a lot.

Level 25 atm and my gear absolutely sucks :D .. just didn't find any good yet. But got a lot of good lvl 40 + items in my stash. ;)

Hi Grynwald,

Firstly nice build and nice gear.

I wanted to make an EK in open beta and i like playing witches so it was an obvious choice to go witch.

I know kripp had a build which went unwavering stance/ IR but i wanted to make something different.

I went into templar/ mara trees instead, getting a lot of body and soul and shield nodes

Can you check my build out, see what you think? Any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers mate.

Hey Grynwald.

Been making an armour/es version of your build that I intend to try out as soon as I can replace my eva/es gear.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated :)

Edit: If I lack Dex for bear trap endgame I'll replace a note with acceleration.

Glad you like it! At the endgame you'll have good gear to compensate for those mana regen nodes. You need that life /armor nodes! :)
Hf and stay safe!

Well I checked it out, and overall , it looks pretty good. For suggestions, nothing comes up on top of my head. As for optimization , I can't really help here,cause u have to prioritize, and you know more than me what's best for you.
But overall looks pretty good..not sure how I feel about the mullet tho ;p

Should be as good,difference here is that you're sacrificing armor for Elemental adaptation ,and abit more life from the starting marauder. You could also drop grace when you have mana problems,so should be fine overall :)

e: nvm realised it didnt work

Doing the 1 week, will not be answering questions the following week :/

Enjoying this Build, Good Luck in the Race!
