Witch - [3.6] Triple Herald Blade Vortex Elementalist - Forum

" Mmmh, from my calculation it takes 5 points to go from the node on the left of Heart and Soul to the intell node below the 30 dex one, while it takes 6 +10 int to go from the crit nodes to the same point, as told on the guid. Im realizing now that there is no link between those nodes in the guide pictures, but there is one in-game, that might be why :D It's because later you are going to take the Throatseeker cluster that branches off of the path he has specified. If you use the more southerly route you are suggesting you don't have access to that cluster or the Cruel Intentions/Deep Thoughts cluster without spending more points overall.

" AnythingZ wrote: Hey, First off, thank you for your build, trying it out right now and having a lot of fun. I just have a quick question on the leveling tree. Im by no mean a good thoerycrafter so maybe it has been talked before. When you go the left side of the witch area, wouldn't it be better to start from the life&mana nodes instead of the spell crit ones? It costs one less point, and you get 10 dext on he way (which is not negligable considering how Im starving right now :D), 20 ES and 20 mana. You would still have to use one point to go the life & mana nodes on right side at some point, so the 1 less point is nulify but that's a (very) minor gain, no? Anyway sorry again if this has been asked before :) Cheers ! it is only worth it if you also take the jewel slot in that area	Posted by DirtyDot#7220 on Jun 4, 2018, 6:46:17 PM Quote this Post

Like a new tree with less hp or flask duration, things like that, and more damage and speed/cast speed? Personally I'm using this type of builds just to farm shaped t10 over and over again to farm currency, not for bossing. - Is the 5% non chaos as extra chaos damage better than 20-30% extra damage as lightning/cold/fire damage? - What's your choice for 6L on BV for mapping? I'm using Inc. crit Damage but maybe Efficacy is better? gem setup in the guide is tilted towards safer gameplay. personally i use bloodrage and HoI-Cull-Onslaught setup instead of immortal call for faster mapping, but it is riskier.

Does HoI+Onslaught proc often for you? I gave it a try and the uptime was bad. Feels like Inpulsa's "steals" the kills.	Posted by Guenselmann#7597 on Jun 4, 2018, 7:00:29 PM Quote this Post
Thanks for the build. Casually playing got almost all MF gear (still need the quant amulet or bisco's), really smooth levelling and mapping. Incursion are always with 100% clear and 15-25 sec left. Easy and satisfying. Spoiler	Posted by Whitedondi#3742 on Jun 4, 2018, 7:11:18 PM Quote this Post

Also did you know the Intuitive Leap is now restored? We can have the Overcharged node again and maybe add flame dash for the power charge on crit gem in the orb of storms - arcane surge setup since we don't need that gem thanks to the overcharged node. Why is Hypothermia good? Last edited by MiguelFg#3451 on Jun 4, 2018, 8:36:54 PM	Posted by MiguelFg#3451 on Jun 4, 2018, 7:26:11 PM Quote this Post

I saw a video from TarkeCat, he suggested using EO to boost herald damage and make up for the lower damage on BV(non-crit). That would free up alot of nodes on the passive tree?. I was wondering if you had any opinion on this, great build btw.	Posted by HeManNZ#1098 on Jun 4, 2018, 8:23:53 PM Quote this Post
