Cleave Witch Video

A few people have asked for my hardcore witch's build (currently #1 in the HC ladder), which in essence is a very standard marauder build converted to witch instead.

I recorded a few clips of me running Chaos, nothing really new or special build or skillwise though:

Main skills are Cleave and Heavy Strike, supported by Faster Attacks/Melee Physical Damage/Increased AoE. Then there's the standard Enduring Cry/Warlord's Mark/Immortal Call, and Hatred (aura).

It's actually more of a tank oriented build as 99% of the time I was duo'ing with an AoF cleave templar, with whom I shared my endurance charges as I kept taunting/tanking groups of mobs. My damage wasn't very significant or important compared to his, just mainly keeping myself alive through life leech from cleave and warlord's mark.
Killing speed is really quite slow without diamond flasks, however with a diamond flask enabled one cleave will pretty much oneshot a group of mobs in Chaos.
I'm pretty satisfied with the character and build being a HC player, there's only been very few near-death occasions and those were usually due to my own mistakes :P.

Obviously this works, but why would it be better than a murauder?

Because there are less witch on the HC ladder
Unviable build tester.

So would a marauder of the same build idea actually be more powerful? I mean don't get me wrong I love that you used a witch.

Basically a marauder would have realize this build four skill points sooner. That's all the difference to be had besides quest rewards, really.
That hat on a witch with a shield is quite amusing :D
I dunno, the Witch hasn't got much cleavage to... Oh! =~[.]^=

Why does your wraith axe look like a ceremonial axe?
Also why choose wraith over siege or reaver axes?
So it looks like cleave with dia flasks reigns this ladder as well? :) First raato, now you.
