This build is fun so far.

Started a new character in Standard, was getting bored of Torment. I had some of the items needed, but bought seven quivers and corrupted plus 1 arrow on, ofcourse the worst one ;) ..

I'm having a blast so far and can't wait to see how it scales later. Having a few mana issues early on, but I figure it will be corrected as I move on in the tree. I really enjoy the Frost experience, always seen it as lacking in the "mage" department, now I'm getting that feel, albeit with a bow, but never the less it feels caster like.

big thumps up so far, will follow the thread, and hope more pick up on it. I'll comment as I get further.


Glad you are enjoying it.

Yes, I would foresee mana issue in the early stages for sure a high linked tornado shot drains alot of mana. I couldn't experience this as this build was made on an existing character from free respec.

Key thing is to not get too much attack speed and instead opt for damage which leads to more mana leech. Another way to help out is to get mana or mana leech mods on your accessories.

Mana issues is barely visible once high level as mana leech, mana from kill and a larger mana pool from Lioneye's Glare.

Just let me know if you have any other feedback :)

just stopped reading and i really wanted to say that ball lightning is actually one of if not the best lightning skill and i find this general hate train about really misleading for a lot of people , if you think ball lightning sucks then you probably don`t know how to build around it , sorry but had to say it.No need to mislead people..


Sorry, I did not mean to say that Ball Lightning is a useless skill when it comes to its intended use for a lightning caster/mage. I tried it on my Witch with an acceptable clear speed.

What I meant that it does not achieve what I was looking for when trying to replicate Frozen Orb as its area of effect size lacks and damage does not scale well enough to match the devastation Frozen Orb does in Diablo2 while Tornado Shot matches it more visually in terms of spraying projectiles in a circular direction covering a large area with good damage scale.

Hi! Sure thing man, I have pmed you a skill tree for 77 points.


As for the main post, I have since updated it with my latest skill tree as per my current level of 92 with 111 points allocated.

I have also added skill trees at 85 points and 60 points.

Emphasis is mentioned to acquire Mind Drinker and Acrobatics as soon as you can with this build to beef up survivability and mana sustain early on.


Thanks and let me know if there is anything else.

Can't confirm if it is HC viable as I made this in standard.

But I would see it as Hardcore viable since I only ever die by doing reckless things like face tanking things I shouldn't and opening unidentified rare boxes.

Dropping some damage nodes to get more health would also make it much more survivable for HC attempts.

This build has good range and by splitting damage between 55% physical and 45% cold, both reflects are barely a problem.
