[1.2] GIMP's Ice Spear Low Life Witch (DPS+crowd control)+Much Vids. Atziri capable.

Heya, guys!
This article is still in progress, more content added soon.
My IGNs: GIMP_shdw, _PIPIRKA_, etc(look my sig).

VIDEOS SECTION IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST!

I've finally decided to share my oooooooold build with everyone! So lezgo.
This is a flexible support build which does AOE freezing job (via elemental proliferation) in a party, and can switch gems to burst asses while soloing. 7 auras+Arctic Armor.


Prehistoria:



PURE PURPOSE OF THE BUILD



Items needed:

1) Shav's. Base of the build.


Will work with 5L too, but gunna be lame a bit.

Possible colours: BBBB G R for ultimate supporting.
Ice spear+spell echo+crit dmg+elemental prolif+LMP/GMP+leech. Swap LMP for penetra at single bosses. EVERYTHING is frozen. Permanently. Also swap ele prolif to faster casting while running solo maps.
BBB GG R for soloing. Huge DPS. Remove prolif and put penetra/add cold there. (spear+echo+crit dmg+pen/add+lmp/gmp+leech)
BB GGG R for soloing. Highest damage. Remove crit damage and put add cold/penetra there. (spear+echo+add+penetra+lmp/gmp+leech).

2) Hussar's Wings Ass Attachment to RIDE THE WIND!

3) Formosan Bear pet for NYA!

4)
for auras.

5)
not to always die.


6) And a fat want.

Recommended: huge [total spell cold] damage, crit damage, mana regen.

Example of my gear:

In this gear I overcap elemental weakness maps. Hell yeah!
Also, I have enought stats for all my gems with only one +30 str node in a tree.

STATS





SKILL TREE.

Witch:

Shadow: the same, but you are taking shadow's starting elemental damage nodes instead of witches' ones.

Scion: blaaaaah, useless class for most builds. They must rework her starting nodes.

As you level up further, you may grab more cold/spell damage nodes or +6% es nodes at huge ES ring inbetween a witch and a scion.

Required gemmes:







AURAS:
Purity of Fire+Lightning+Cold, Herald of Ice, Discipline, Haste, Clarity.
So totally 7 auras+Arctic Armor.


GEAR OPTIONS:

Wand:
As mine or any other good wand, nut i wouldn't aim for spell crit chance on it, as it is 90-95% without that mod on a wand. So it would be a waste.

Helm:
Any fat ES help, most prolly with DEX. Vertex would work too, but in this case you gonna grab dex anywhere else.

Gloves:
Again, any fat ES gloves. As mine or better, DEX would be great.

Boots:
Rainbow or any fat ES boots with some resi. (rainbow's spell block isn't needed at all; I just wear them cuz they are cheap and nasty)

Body armour:
6L shav's or 5L shav's or 4L shav's or 3L shav's or legacy oneslotted shav's.
SHAV'S.

Shield:
If you replace Prism with any other shield. prepare to stack lost resistances (from Prism and auras) and DEX on other gears... I wouldn't.

Belt:

or

or
AUXIUM
or any other shield with stats/es/resi etc. But if I remove perandus, I will need to respec some damage nodes to +30 DEX node. So +90 allstats and 20% flask duration suits me perfectly.

Rings:
Fragments and:
mana regen, cold damage, cast speed, %es (Elreon 7 lvl), mana, resi - something from this list.
Mana regen+%ES strongly recommended.
to swap at some bosses.

Ammy:

Stats, crit dmg is already enough. But would be great to add some %Es, spell damage and mana regen there.

Flasks:
Any.
My combination:



PROS AND CONS. (still in progress, will add more as I remember it)

Pros.
-Cheap.
-Overresistant and overcapped resi. Elemental weakness maps? Pffff.
-Arctic Armor.
-Can easy switch to a bit MF (Rainbow->WOndertrap, Life leech gem->Item QUantity) for low lvl not dangerous maps.
-Safe. Freeze proliferating is fqen awesome, parties gunna love you. Really. Frozen bosses gonna hate you. Really. Shrine 77 and Courty 78 approved. (NOTE: they can be frozen directly, not VIA ele prolif)
-Cool DPS at range.
-May do mad single-target DPS with definite gems options (add cold and cold penetra involved).
-ROCKING CRITICALS.
-95% crit chance = good surgeon flasks recharge.
-Can survive 20 stacks of corrupting blood (look 1:03)
-Gives a fuq about reflect. See videos section for more info (Videos-Reflect spoilers).

-Able to run halfregen maps, but without Arctic Armor.
-In two green slots shav's option able to run nonregen maps by adding mana leech gem. No Arctic Armor of course.
-Can easily switch to hell burning build simply by putting on Three Dragons.
-soooon

Weaknesses:
-Close range, where my Ice Spear doesn't wanna crit. Proximity Shields and fast running mobs may be annoying.
-Still didn't test it on Atziri. First need to up spears and Herald.
-Chill. Due to small life pool it's very easy for mobs to chill me, so "add cold dmg" maps may go slow.
-Devourers. Huge physical damage, get out of nowhere, natural cold resist, packs, chase you. May be deadly :'( But, honeslty, that is fair for MOST build, not just mine.
-Desyncs. May be deadly due to I dont have stun immunity and any armour rating/defences but AA.
-sooon


Videos section. (still in progress, will add MUCH MOAR soon; now I'm adding videos that I've already downloaded to youtube).




MOAR soon...

Hope you'll enjoy my build, cya guys!

Atziri Killed. Pretty easy and fast, just need 2 be careful at Trio.

I am using the build and love it so far. You neglect to ever talk about power charge gems that seem needed since gear doesn't show power charges. Or should one just regret the points in passive that boosts power-charges once one has a 6link? 5link?

Thanks for the build. Been working on it for a while. Currently lvl 60 on bloodlines.
