What exactly is IF supposed to be? Also, your account is marked as private, so can't take a look at it. Account inactive since Tencent majority share acquisition.	Posted by zagibu on Nov 16, 2017, 4:40:22 AM Quote this Post
You need to read the Spectre guides in the Witch forum. I don't know if chars used to be this focused on rarity and quantity, but in today's meta those stats are afterthoughts. Quantity is great, but you should focus on defense and offense first. Before you go into specifics, you need to get EHP one way or another on any char. Since you've opted for Chaos Inoculation, you have to get as much Energy Shield on gear and in passive nodes as possible. Only your chest and your helm provide meaningful ES. That can't work. Since 3.0 most people go for life instead of ES and those builds end up with upwards of 5k HP. If you go ES, you should have even more for your other defenses (armor, evasion) are naturally lower in that case.	Posted by Solmyr77 on Nov 16, 2017, 7:30:46 AM Quote this Post

I read lots of thing and lots of builds...i guess i must change really many thing on my witch. Its actually lots of cheap build but Passivetree be problem...must change so much things to adapt a new build and thats cost lots of orbs :S	Posted by amocpower on Nov 16, 2017, 9:38:24 AM Quote this Post
You should have full passive tree reset option available after so long time. Last edited by Rakiii on Nov 16, 2017, 10:19:35 AM	Posted by Rakiii on Nov 16, 2017, 10:11:55 AM Quote this Post
You have 3744 ES and uncapped resistances. A stiff breeze could kill you. But seriously, Energy Shield has been nerfed lately and needs a lot of investment into good gear to become viable. And uncapped resistances in maps is a very very big no-no. 21% Lightning resistance means you take over three times as much damage from lightning as someone with 75%.

Leveling your forsaken masters would already make a great difference. Allows you to get some extra stats. And, for a start, I'd probably stash the Andvarius and get a moonstone ring with good elemental resistances, that'd quickly resolve that problem. Well, part of it. And while your helmet is good, ES-wise, I'd probably try to get one with +2 Minion gem levels; Then move the arc down to your chest and the zombies up to the helmet, dropping the rarity support. Regarding the passive tree, you could start by optimizing a little, you're spending a few unnecessary points to get to clusters. Like this. When I open your link I also get a non-sensical jewel in a non-connected slot? Anyways, you get easy access to a jewel slot, wouldn't go amiss to use it. Reduced mana support doesn't help auras anymore - But zombies get a Slam attack that can be augmented by jewels - that'd be an option for that slot you can access. As Item Rarity/Quantity supports only work if you actually kill with that skill, given you have an arc with culling, your minions shouldn't get too many kills at all; Might as well give them extra combat supports. Zaanus: Global chat: Mechanics for A work one way, B for another, C for a third but also with A, B uses C but not A, and D uses A&B but not C ___ Isn't a "no" better than an ignore?

Maybe its better to not go to CI? I will work on my resistance. " UnDeaD_CyBorG wrote: Leveling your forsaken masters would already make a great difference. Allows you to get some extra stats.

Woah i really didn´t see this Jewel! I have really not clue how its come XD Maybe i out this some years ago and forget it. It was some Passivetree reset at the time. Btw actually thats what i need! You give me a exactly a roadmap that i can try! " Rakiii wrote: You should have full passive tree reset option available after so long time.
