Witch - Moiraine: Life-based SRS specialized for uber - Forum

I have died to the split phases like 4 times now, too many times to keep trying. Level 18 purity of fire, ruby flasks put my resists at 89 or 90. I have almost 3900 HP and get destroyed. Then once I die to the split phases its all over, since I can't get a foothold against them again. Any advice would be appreciated. You need more damage. Level your SRS gem to Lv20. More cast speed on gears, or more on passives. You need to spawn at least 20 skulls by the clone phase, the more the better. Use added fire in place of melee plash, or better yet, re-chrome it to use Minion Damage (but much more mana hungry). Pop vaal haste in clone phase, it's crucial to take down the clone as fast as possible. Offense is the only choice for this build unless you can get up to 5k life, you can just face tank the clone (only a few seconds but it's the difference between life and death). Last but not least, you need to learn the rhythm of Atziri fight, once you get it, it's a breeze (but still dangerous). Dodge the flameblast if possible, unless you can tank it to kill the clones. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1215585 pretty much the same advice.

Thinking about SRS as my first character in the 1.4 softcore league. From original post: " Scion is 1 pt more efficient for life-based SRS, start by taking the mana nodes. I prefer playing witch though, so I play witch. Now, to the point, witch or scion. Witch 6 points through Deep Wisdom 12 % increased maximum Energy Shield 34 + to maximum Energy Shield 55 % increased Mana Regeneration Rate 24 % increased maximum Mana 20 + to maximum Mana 52 Intelligence 14 Dex 14 Str Scion 4 Points 20 % increased Mana Regeneration Rate 24 % increased maximum Mana 20 Intelligence 20 Dex 20 Str So, for two points, the witch gets 12 % increased maximum Energy Shield 34 + to maximum Energy Shield 35 % increased Mana Regeneration Rate 20 + to maximum Mana 20 Int -6 Str -6 Dex Given the mana needs of arctic armor and hasted, vaal hasted SRS, looks to me like witch is the better start?

End game, yes, the witch is slightly better as you point out, but for leveling I found Scion much better due to much earlier access to 90% increased duration, life wheel, ele res, dex, int, str nodes. You can basically use SRS from lv4 for single target and from lv19 with MPlash for all purposes and still pretty tanky.

looking at your staff ...+1 gems and +2 to fire gems ... there is only 1 fire gem in it (SRS) and several support and several melee ... does SRS scale to the point that 2 levels to it, out performs 3 melee gems each getting 2 levels (6 gem levels)??

Had a really rough time running all the auras and keeping enough mana to cast SRS. Mana regen is still kinda poop until I get more mana regen on gear. Had to change the tree around a bit too, but so far I like it. 6k HP finally :D Spoiler Spoiler http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMBAecD7gQHCPQMfRB_FE0UqRZvFy8YkRo4HRQdviSwJwsnLyj6LR8vbzOHNZI26DpYOuE8LUGHQqNFnUrITLNM_025TeNTUlXGVdZWLVcrWK9ZbVqRXypfmGFSZOdmnmjyakNqrGvbbRluqnC7eA18S30YgKSCHoLHg7aD24VghmCG0YhCj0aQVZUglnSYrZrgm6GiAKZXpwiofaluqsSsmK9stfK3PriTvJ-86r2CwBrAVMHFwfPGnsauzLzPMtP72L3ZE9sL3uXfiuNq6QLr5Ovu7BjsivAf8kX31_no-tL8S_4K_o_-sw== If I could get a larger mana pool and more mana regen I would be extremely happy, but it's kind of difficult.

I guess I came to that conclusion in 1.2 and never reconsidered for 1.3. You're right witch does seem better than scion, since we do need as much mana regen as we can get to support vaal haste.
