[1.2.0] Almost Full Uniques Confusing Pulse Witch!
Pros
Cons
This build is not cheap, but it can work without having full uniques! The Core items you will need to make this build work are... Pyre For survivability against reflect (as you will be running Artic Armour). Three Dragons Will allow you to Shock instead of igniting enemies with Freezing Pulse as the damage is converted to Fire. Also allows you to Freeze when having Added Lightning Damage support gem linked to it.

Reasoning
Pledge of Hands Essentially a 7 Link item, although I only have it 5 Linked at the moment. Benefictial with Cloak of Defiance as it gives 100% Increase to Maximum Mana. Cloak of Defiance Major boost to mana and mana regeneration aswell as having Mind of Matter for damage mitigation. Maligaro's Virtuosity Major boost to critical strike and multiplier. Also gives you the bonus Dexterity you need to run High level GMP & Artic Armour. Rainbowstride Gives nice resistance, decent move speed and boost to mana from both flat mana bonus aswell as the conversion from Eldritch Battery, which is much needed when running Mind over Matter (Cloak of Defiance). Doryani's Invitation Fire Variant Damage Boost is nice, some armour (though very negligable as it will only give you 3% or so after lvl 80). Mostly needed for the +1% Fire Leech and dual resist. Eye of Chayula Since you will have under 3k Life anyways you will most likely get stun locked. By using this you can put those worries to rest (don't nesecarily need a "corrupted" one with +1% Fire Leech but it helps). Dream Fragment Survivabilty item, aswell as giving mana regeneration and freeze immunity (which is nice). As you can tell, I don't use Pyre to and Rainbowstrides to their full advantage, though Rainbowstrides can serve very well with Saffell's Frame + Stone of Lazwhar. Main advantage of using those boots is that they are relatively cheaper than a high end mirror worthy boot.
Gear to Consider
Reasoning
Doryani's Catalyst Solid item, gives crit, high elemental damage, some cast speed and +1% elemental leech. Voll's Protector Great item, I used it 4 linked untill I got a 5 Link Cloak of Defiance as it essentially was a 5 link item. If you Intend on using this instead of Cloak of Defiance with Pledge of Hands, you get an 8 link (if you 6 Link Pledge of Hands). Saffel's Frame Situational Item, I tend to use this with Stone of Lazwhar, Rainbowstride and Tempest Shield when against boss fights like Dominus to face tank his Lightning Stream. Stone of Lazwhar Situation Item, works well with shield (rather than staff), the bonus mana and cast speed is also nice.

Key Gems
Main DPS Skill 4 Link (with Voll's Protector) Freezing Pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Spell Echo + Added Lightning 5 Link (with Voll's Protector) Freezing Pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Spell Echo + Added Lightning + Faster Casting 4 Link (without Voll's Protector) Freezing Pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Power Charge on Critical + Added Lightning 5 Link (without Voll's Protector Freezing Pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Power Charge on Critical + Added Lightning + Spell Echo 4 Link Pledge of Hands (with Voll's) Freezing Pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Added Lightning + Faster Casting 5 Link Pledge of Hands (with Voll's) Freezing Pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Added Lightning + Faster Casting + Increased Critical Damage 4 Link Pledge of Hands (No Voll's) Freezing Pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Power Charge on Critical + Added Lightning 5 Link Pledge of Hands (No Voll's) Freezing Pulse + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Power Charge on Critical + Added Lightning + Faster Casting Escape Skill 3 Link atleast Lightning Warp + Reduced Duration + Faster Casting Can add "Culling Strike" if you really want to, but not nessecary. Aura's Discipline Energy Shield to Mana conversion from Eldritch Battery. Clarity Much needed mana regeneration to sustain Mind over Matter or Artic Armour. Purity of Elements With my current gear setup this is what's keeping me resist capped. Herald of Ice If you don't intend on using full uniques, and are resist capped this gives a nice boost to damage. Artic Armour Technically not an aura, but it is a self cast buff that drains mana and provides both fire and physical damage mitigation. The fire mitigation will help against reflect mobs as your Freezing Pulse does fire damage. The physical mitigation helps as you only have 3% physical damage reduction. Curses Assassin's Mark Makes you crit more and harder. Enfeeble Good for end-game especially against heavy hitting mobs. 3 Link atleast Curse + Faster Casting + Increased AoE If you can find a slot for 4 Link, Increased Duration is also nice (though you don't really need it as you kill most mobs in less than 2 seconds). Other Gems Comibination of these 3 Linked will provide additional physical mitigation. Cast When Damage Taken lvl 8 Immortal Call lvl 8 Molten Shell lvl 11 You can add Increased Duration or Enduring Cry in addition if you want but, it's hard to get 4 Reds on Int and Dex items. I will make a levelling guide in the near future, aswell as updating this thread. Last edited by Razokur#1010 on Sep 18, 2014, 5:45:59 AM

" Sure, I was just getting to 90 first before posting anymore aswell as tweaking (using herald of ice now). " I want to maximize added lightning support gem so that I can freeze lock, so getting elemental and spell damage seemed like a better choice. |

I've been following your build on a new Rampage Witch and am currently 47 - so far it's been really fun!
