CI Wand Lightning Witch Build (HC)

i think this is about as beefy as a CI/GR/ZO witch can get without sacrificing much in the way of wand dps. this is intended for hardcore. it hits almosy every available energy shield node and wand damage node with a side of lightning/projectile/crit damage

original version has been replaced with this much more refined build thanks to suggestions

I like this. I'm going to try it with my HC Witch, but I may sacrifice one 8% ES node for "Hex Master" just because it would be nice to not have to cast "Critical Weakness" more than once on an enemy. Also, Wouldn't it be good to grab the other "Maximum Power Charges" we are right next to?

i made it to be as defensive as possible, there are a few points that could easily be allocated elsewhere if you felt safe enough to sacrifice a little ES.

bump for critique as i am currently experimenting with this and have found critical weakness/power siphon/added lightning damage/added crit chance to be natural bedfellows for this build. anything im missing?

Check out this thread i made of my build.

i doesn't have as much ES but has a lot more resistances and a lot more DPS.

obviously a shield is required.

Think you should ditch the 5 nodes on es in the middle and go for body and soul nodes at the templar area, it's 48% more es and armor and 10% resists vs 40% es, also 1 less travel node. Static Blows seems really good if you are incorporating lightning damage.
