Casters are all about criticals. Their fine, you need to level up your game.

Compared to a basic melee ranger physical elemental? There garbage.

I've been leveling a witch to 65 the last couple days as my last character to 65 needed for challenge completion. First witch I've rolled since release. It's ridiculously slow compared to any of the other classes, and damn near half my nodes are simply +10 to int as try to reach something useful.

It only gets worse. Wait until you get into maps.

no, I'm done with her as soon as she hits 65 unless I decide to use her as a summoner farmer for piety, and going back to my aegis. I haven't touched any of my level 80+ casters since the patch.

I breezed through with my Storm Call Witch up to Merciless only to hit a wall in Act 3. I could slog through it but clearly no payoff in the end. The problem is not my gear. The Witch skill tree needs a "Ranger" overhaul with more keystones combining things and would like to see life regeneration (I don't care for Chaos Inoculation).

Way of the Mystic: +12% Spell Damage, 40% Mana Regeneration, +1% Health Regeneration. (Just a quick example).
