Best farming Witch for end-game?

After leveling a melee Duelist to 64 and repeatedly getting my ass kicked, I'm going to make a ranged class.

All I'm wondering is: which element of Witch holds up best in Act 3 Merciless?

I was thinking Fire (Fireball and Firestorm). All I want to do with this Witch is farm Act 3.

Thank you kindly :)
with good gear you melt everything in act 3 with any build
Bumping to ask: Does Ice Spear work with Greater Multiple Projectiles AND Fork?

I can't decide on an element for my Witch :X
Also, does Critical Strike Multiplier count for both Melee and Spells?

Yes, however Ice Spear can only fork in it's second form because the first has 100% piercing. This is the same reason why Freezing Pulse can never fork.

Yes, if it doesn't specifically state otherwise.
Brutus. Do you even sync?
Thanks for the quick response. I really want to go Cold, and use Ice Spear + GMP + Fork and Freezing Pulse, but the other part of me is really liking the Firestorm and Fireball combo.

Anyone have any suggestions on which is better for farming? I know that's a very open-ended question.

GMP + Fork fucks your damage until late game ^.^
Ahhh...I didn't think of that.

WHAT WILL I DO? So many possibilities with the Witch. Anyone know of any good fire/ice hybrid builds?
If you go Fire/Ice hybrid you might want to research the Cold to Fire support.

However, using Cold to Fire uses up a precious socket and it means splitting your passives so is generally a bad idea. (as far as I've heard)

That's what I thought...splitting up the passives between the elements must be brutal.
