This is meant for newbies as a generic guideline for their first character.

You built a lvl60 character. That flask is not above level 60. That was why I posted it. For end game, meaning gear included, they will have to respec many nodes in order to become efficient.	Posted by SL4Y3R#7487 on Dec 11, 2012, 5:35:11 PM Banned Quote this Post
Again this isn't supposed to be a super efficient end game build. This is for NEW players who want a general direction on their first character that is playable. By the time they get a character to level 60 they should then have an idea of how the trees work, what skills there and what they like best. At that point they re-roll. That is what usually happens. Very rarely is the first character you make in this game going to be very efficient at all. IGN: HotnessEverspleen	Posted by Secksy#6268 on Dec 11, 2012, 7:51:55 PM Quote this Post
As slayer has noted, the build wastes points in too many crit chance nodes, it also wastes points in mana regen, a point in +5% spell damage node and 3 5% Ele nodes, passes right by the most efficient cast speed cluster, picks up CI but not ES recovery(which is like picking up armor and no life). Every witch should be picking Clarity from Brutus, which will make many of those mana regen nodes obsolete. Here's a more efficient build, that uses a few more points, but also has alot more versatility, survivability, and damage. With better options to choose from with subsequent passive points.
