Hi there,

First of all, great guide! Very well written and overall the most powerful char i ever played (kinda casual)

Just rerolled my lvl 86 witch, that was a summoner before. Put all my currency in the required gear, 6L a CoD myself (pretty lucky at that) and now I´m impressed by the toon. Kinda reminds me of my old BM spectres (good times..)


Now my question is:

What does spell echo do for flameblast. I kinda see no effect in my 6L. BTW Off Colouring CoD is a pain, i stopped at RBBBBB (conc. effect)

thanks!

Edit: Sorry got that, you reach your max charge up faster :p

Hallo, could you explain me the phrase "Cloak of Defiance is what lets us get such high block chance while still having a decent "life" pool."

One of the biggest problems I had when aiming for max block was that to get all that block I had to drop life nodes and end up with less life than I was comfortable with, Cloak of Defiance gives us Mind Over Matter which makes it so that your mana kind of works as your life.

Without Cloak of Defiance I would only have my 4.7k life which isn't enough for those times damage does get through my block but when using it I have a total of 6k+ life & mana (now all "life" with MoM). That's why I also don't like using Lightning Coil with this build as it makes you too vulnerable to high elemental damage bursts.

I hope that explains it.

Hi there,

Im using conc effect in a 6L CoD since I couldnt get right colours. Since Conc effect wont increase burning damage and most damage comes from burning, as I suppose, how important would you value fire pen? If its very important, I´ll throw in 200 chromes more...

Quote wiki: "As a degeneration effect, Burning does not benefit from any support skill which requires a hit. This includes Fire Penetration"

"The base duration of ignite is 4 seconds. The burning damage over time is 20% of the initial hit of fire damage, per second. Therefore, over the base duration the target will take 80% of the damage dealt by the original hit."

so fire penetration increases the initial hit, thereby increasing burning damage over time?

Edit: ACtually I use item rarity most of the time :p
