[1.3] pabrt's Frost Wall Kinetic Blaster - Budget Friendly!

Can you make a witch passive tree for this build? Im starting a witch in bloodlines, got bored of my trapper. Im picking witch so i can get kinetic blast as quest reward.

new video showing some changes: http://youtu.be/o4cx3WhfhWM
crit at 95%, using heralds & thief's torment

you can see the reliability went way up + the healing/mana from thief's torment is quite good

If you're going witch I'd go hybrid ES/life and skip the stuff by scion

Something like this could work for elemental es/life hybrid:



The only big thing would be keeping up power charges by occasionally siphoning something. Also the tree I made probably has way too much damage, the scaling from the skill combo is already insanely high.

That video was amazing, can't wait to try it and use wrath and anger. And thanks for the Skill tree.

Here is an elemental shadow tree I came up with

Edited with more mana / defense.

Doubblepost, nvm this

Was toying around with the idea of using frost wall to do silly damage with KB after I noticed how quickly I would drop anything as long as it was close to a wall. Didn't think of using CoC to do it though, and after seeing the video it became clear to me that this is what I shall do! :D


It got 220% crit chance and 54% crit mult, which can easily be increased once you get extra points or decide to drop dodge. It got 80% increased evasion rating as well as 40% dodge and 30% spell dodge.
It does also have 21% increased effects of buffs and 26% increased effects of auras and 8% reduced mana reserved.

Plan is to run the following setups for auras/deeps

• HoT - CoH - Ass Mark - Reduced mana
• HoI - Wrath - Anger - Reduced mana
• Clarity - Grace or Haste - Reduced mana in prism guardian

And the following setups for utility and KB

• KB - Pierce - GMP - CoC - Wall - Leech
• CwdT - EC - IC - Increased Duration
• Warp - faster casting - reduced duration

And I plan to use the following unique items

• Alpha's Howl
• Piscator's Vigil
• Maligaro's Virtuosity
• Atziris's Step
• Prism Guardian
• Lightning Doryani's Invitation

Got any thoughts on this? :)

@Titan_Uranus

After checking out your tree I noticed mine doesn't have nearly enough INT to use a Piscator.

I have changed it to match yours (but Shadow instead of Scion)

PoE Builder - Shadow Start



Aside from that I agree with most of your gear / aura choices.

*For crit chance I would use one of the following:

• Maligaro's
• Ungil's Harmony

*Using an Aura calculator it would have to be like this:

• Alpha's Howl - lvl 20 RM + Wrath + Anger + HoI
• Prism Guardian - lvl 20 RM + lvl 20 Clarity + HoT
• Reduced Mana Reserved 16% (from tree)

That would leave you with enough mana and hp to be viable.

Titan your build looks pretty good. Only thing I'd worry about is life pool because of how many uniques you're using.

Also regarding curses, I think poacher's mark is the best one (for me at least). I've been trying out assassin/poacher/warlord and I'd rank them poacher, warlord, assassin in terms of best to worst. The defensive benefits of poacher/warlord and the evasion reduction on poacher are really good.

Assassin offers a lot of DPS but that part is overkill. The major benefit is the power charges if you don't have another way to get them, but you could always just use power siphon. Maybe the convenience is worth it.

I also totally forgot about cwdt EC IC, going to use that now as well. The skill effect duration nodes affect that, right? If so this build is perfectly suited to it because those nodes also buff out DPS. What is the ideal EC IC setup? like what level for the gems

How about this tree?



Witch start for extra mana. Can probably end up using Arctic Armour as a defense, as well. Lots of accuracy. Only issue is the lack of damage nodes, but maybe the crit will be enough? (Could always remove a few mana nodes like Deep Thoughts & Trickery)

What do you think?
