Hey mate, first time player on ps4 and loving the build :)

Just wondering what you think on the weapon Montegrul Grasp (https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Mon%27tregul%27s_Grasp)

Thoughts are to go pure lightning with phase and make the fire and cold DMG count

Also thanks :), will likely try the RF build next season

Other players have commented that MG by reducing their Zombie count made them feel that their Witch was a little more exposed (reduced Meat Shield). So I was a little concerned when I tried it out for a bit. It was not against fierce content mind you, but I did not notice anything worrying regarding the Zombie Shield. If you have easy and cheap access to one (never a sure thing on Console), I would say "give it a go". If you like it, great; if not, no big deal.

For End Game, I run 6 Link Skeletons and 4 Link Zombies (I transition from 6 Link Zombies and 4 Link Skeletons). 4 Link Zombies mean that I can deal with Physical Reflect (Zombies less likely to die, and I can re-summon them on the fly). MG made Physical Reflect destroy my Zombies once more - if you care. I also suspect that MG might be better in tight spaces (if Zombies can crowd each other out) but I didn't use it long enough to find out (the Delve comes to mind).

Out of curiosity, how were you going to do: "Thoughts are to go pure lightning with phase and make the fire and cold DMG count"?

Thanks for the reply, I am currently using the weapon and kill speed is pretty much the same, I like the giant tanky zombies :P

With the weapon, enemies killed by zombies explode dealing fire damage, I don't know how much damage, but was thinking that on higher tier maps, it might be useful

Sweet! And the "pure lightning with phase" part?

Ah, I meant charged dash, sorry

So what I meant was I'd do only lightning damage so that Elemental Equilibrium would lower both the fire and cold resistance of mobs

"

I didnt like using Charged dash as I found the charge up time to be dangerous to use. standing still for it to charge is a good way to die and doesnt give a lot of mobility options when fighting some of these more irritating bosses with high aoe.

Instead I swapped to Leap Slam and put in a jewel that gives something like 2-25 lightning damage, so EE still procs and i can just jump around for days while my MG zombies smash everyone.

"

I also swapped in Convocation into this build so its no issue that there are fewer zombies. No need for the desecrate gem skill when my zombies almost never die. Except for physical reflect maps which they still dont die that much.

"

Additionally, using MG opens up gem slot because you no longer need for minion life because frankly 24k life on one zombie is enough lol. I'm going to be filling this slot with a MF blue gem as soon as I get the 6 link chest piece

For bosses and big rooms Vaal Skeletons is simply devastating (those laboratory things for Jun where you have to protect the chests, final part of a delve, huge packs in memory nexus when you gotta run to find the nodes, etc.) Flesh and Spirit has the benefit of giving double Vaal souls when you're rampaging (which is pretty much all the time). If you're running fast then you can pretty much have permanent uptime on vaal skeletons.
