Fire witch build input?
|
I just barely started playing and was looking to build a fire witch. I've made it to level 29 now and I finally started to get a feel for the game and looked into where I was going to take my witch, but I got some questions about the current witch builds that I'm seeing around.
Why is it that there aren't builds built around the actual fire element, but instead a single skill? Is it viable to run a witch with high crit and fire/elemental/spell damage passives and run multiple skills (I'm looking at fireball, firestorm, and fire trap along with some sort of curse). Of course I'd need some mana passives thrown in here and I'm sorta on the fence about where to focus concerning life or energy shield but I know I need those in there also. Is there something I'm missing here at higher levels than won't make an all around elemental devoted build useful? I don't know a lot about totems, so IDK if something like that would be a godsend. I plan on throwing a bit into some area effects radius/damage(just like 3 passives) for fire trap and whatever curse. And what would be the best curse in a build like this flammability, elemental weakness, or critical weakness? Also, I'm still feeling out how the items are in this game, is there some item options I should focus on? Any help at all would be awesome. Edit: My current passives(I still have a few unused points)

Direction I was somewhat thinking of going with it.

I know this maybe more of a glass cannon. But I'm sitting with 34 open points right there. I've hit most the crit nodes and the damage nodes, but as it is there I'm in close proximity to quite a few life nodes (fairly close to discipline and training, 2x fitness, and plenty of 8% to life) plus short jump to unnatural calm or even close enough I could reworked it to chaos inoculation. Anyway, it sounds good to me, I just need to know if it's at all viable. Last edited by shlogan#6188 on May 10, 2013, 1:08:25 AM

I think u should consider getting CI (Chaos Inoculation) and Zealot's Oath since it makes the life leech regenerate ES inteast of HP, and add some more ES nodes too.
I already played 3-4 witches build, all of them on HC, if you are playing on default league, i think these passives will fit well on you, but for HC, i think u should consider what i said up here xD |

" that build is messed up you cant progress to merciless with so little HP/ES you need to decide what defensive mechanism you want to have HP, CI, or low life (if you have shavronne) |

Do not play CI if you're new to the game. You will not have the proper gears to survive cruel or merciless. Stick to a health base system it better overall IMO.
There are several type of fire elemental class. The three major ones are pure direct damage, pure damage over time, and a little of both. You need decide which type of fire class you want. Pick an offensive skill you like. Map it to the right mouse button. This is the skill you're going to spam. The other skills are for support. |
