Critical Bladefall | Pledge of Hands | Witch

Build Idea:
This build uses a "Pledge of Hands" as weapon to get a easy "6 Link" (because of the level 30 Spell Echo) for my main skill "Bladefall".
As second skill i use "Blade Vortex" to build up "Power Charges" fast.
Both skills are tagged as "Spell & Area of Effect" gems.
A second realy good Unique for this build is the "Carcass Jack" body armour.
It provides us with "Increased Radius of Area Skills" and "Area Damage".

Defence:
Arctic Armour protects against physical and fire damage.

The Chaos Golem grants 4% additional Physical Damage reduction.
The "Rumi's Concoction" is also a great flask for defence, if you dont have one use a "Granite Flask of Iron Skin" roll for high armour.
A high Life pool also help´s against big hits.
