POHX IS BACK Inform Me If you Want Updates! Fire Witch! 18k+ Dps. ( Youtube Vid Included )
|
Hello again guys, This is pretty much a direct variation from my molten shell witch. I feel that this witch offers more party utility, as well as faster clearing speed. This isn't written in stone. It's simply here to guide you on the path you would like to take. It's subject to change at any point in time. I really want to grab serpent strike. The staff nodes right above Static Blows. Also if you're having mana issues. Pickup the witches mana nodes at the start to help, They'll make a big difference once you've taken EB ALSO. For everyone who is going to complain stating you'll be 1 hit via Reflect mobs there is a simple solution to this. Don't get your crit till you're max resists while running purity for 80%, You have 130% burn damage you can abuse with your fire. Ignite them and watch them die. You take 0 Reflect damage from Ignite. Recommended gear/gems before starting this build. -Searing Touch -Quality Fireball. -Quality Fire Penetration -Some type of mana regeneration Acc's -Reduced Mana For when you run Clarity + Purity I'm going to be completely honest, Having a searing touch from level 13 Will literally carry you through your entire gameplay. Witch Gameplay This is basically just some gameplay of me running through some merciless content, demonstrating how quickly it melts down mobs and can even handle reflect without capped fire resist. I can also upload my status screen if you guys would like. Level 1-20 Level 21-40 Level 41-60 Level 61-80 Level 81-100 Level 101+

Leveling: During my lowbie levels, I used Searing touch with firestorm to literally blow mobs up. Including resist yellows. The +2 To level of fire gems is just so strong all throughout game Once I got to city of Sarn I swapped over to Fireball LMP Fork and chugged saturated Mana potions till I went EB at 61. It's your choice on what level you want to swap over. Weapon Style Weapon Type: You have 4 choices here. Wand, Mace, Staff or Dagger(s) Wand: High spell damage, can roll crit. Can roll projectile speed Mace: High Elemental Damage, Can roll spell power + Elemental Damage ( ? ) Dagger: They can basically roll what a wand can, Aside from the base Spell power, along with projectile Speed ( Not 100% Sure on all stat roles. ) Staff:

Can' say much more to be honest
My personal favorite for this build is the " Searing Touch " Staff. It complements this build so well. Accessories: Rings: Hp, Mana Regen, Fire Damage, Spell Power, Resists Necklace: Same as rings
Spoiler
Gear: You want to prioritize Pure Armor Gear, or if you really need it, Hybrid armor + ES for EB so you can have more mana regen. Rolling pure armor will give you the defense you need to take a few hits just incase physical mobs get to you

*Single Target
Fireball, Currently i'm using LMP, Fire Pen, Fork. Obviously this isn't made for single target but it's just annihilating monsters due to searing touch +2 Level of gems, along with Flammability. Molten shell: With concentrated it's hitting well over 11k Dps.. you've seen what it does on the other witch lol **My goal is to run GMP instead of LMP as it'll do more single target damage when up close. not sure if i'm going to replace fork with chain however. *AoE Fireball, LMP , Fork, Fire Pen *Curses: No supports really needed since the AoE is huge due to the 2 AoE nodes you pickup in the passive tree along with the 4% -Enfeeble: For Survivalability -Flammability: You major DPS Curse Other Gems you can use: Pierce Chain GMP Chance to Ignite. Farming Areas Act 1: Ledge Act 2: Western Forest/Fellshrine Act 3: The City of Sarn Bandit Rewards Oak +40 Hp ( Normal ) Alira 4% Casting Speed, Or skill point ( Cruel ) Unsure.

Looks fun. Currently running your Molten Shield build, looking to transition into this. I'm very new, though, so is the Searing Touch staff just a drop? Or is there a way to get it. It may sound like a dumb question, but the way you mention it sounds like there's a specific way to get it or something.

" Buy it off of someone - use the trading forums, there are usually several of them for sale at any given time. Or be really lucky and have one drop for you.

Work in maps with chaos damage?
