Fun and effective build until about 70. After that you will get destroyed in maps and not be able to level. Good for farming Docks though.
I'm doing fine in maps, what exactly is killing you?
Either you are moving at a snails pace spamming decoy/summon skeleton totem every 10 feet, which is far from efficient leveling/farming, or you are rolling very specific easy maps with low +item quantity, which is again not remotely as efficient as other builds. I also noticed you are not even 75 yet. Once you get to those levels, dying even once will lose you hours of xp worth of leveling time. This character is way too squishy and i have pretty high end gear, all quality gems, etc.
If you are claiming you are flying through high end maps, post a video or i call 100% BS.

This is not my exact build as stated on my guide it changes every day, i'm currently level 69, I don't use any form of totems and I'm running blue maps via maze/increased rare mobs etc for leveling. If you honestly feel you're unable to solo with this build you could easily duo with someone. I've taken a break from playing PoE so i'm unable to get you a video up but as i've said before i'm clearing maps with ease ( Level 70-72 )
If you chose to run high quantity maps with de-buffs such as Vulnerability or others, you're probably going to get owned since this build isn't made for taking hits, of course it's not the best build for soloing, It's simply for people who would like to play a fire build which can work

I think people are mainly speculating purely off the skill tree, saying it doesn't have much defense and you would die. Not sure how many have actually tried this build in 70+ maps.
Just want to say fantastic build, happy I could find a template that I was able to edit enough to my own playstyle, thanks mate.
Glad to see someone understands that guides should be used as a template xD

Except that people are following your guide not realizing that they are going to get destroyed once they get high level. So while it's all well and good to say "hey, this is just a template", people are going to have to spend 40+ regrets fixing the build so they have any chance at leveling past 75+ or rerolling. Obviously if you group it makes no difference what your build is, that is hardly an excuse or the point.

40+ Regrets? lol..
it's stated in my guide once again " It's simply here to guide you on the path you would like to take "
It's a template, it's not that hard to understand. I'm not here to argue, i'm simply here to inform & help people

Think you're taking this a bit to literal, he played a spec he liked and decided to share it. He even says it destroys Merciless and didn't bring up 70+ maps until others did. No where does he state this is a cookie cutter build that you follow exactly. He is simply trying to put some unconventional ideas out there.
If the intent was to faceroll content solo, there are about 20+ summoner guides on the forum.
Also, about grouping, it does matter what spec. People are not going to want to carry some kid not pulling his own weight and share items. This spec has high damage output but can also be modded for defensive.
Why the hate?

You laugh, except you concede you haven't even played the spec yourself past 70, so you have no clue how bad it is. If you really want to "inform and help", you might actually say that you haven't tested it at high level. In fact, a bunch of people in this thread asked very specifically how the spec was in high level maps because they didn't want to waste their time and currency if it wasn't effective, and you didn't reply to any of them.

LOL. Yes, "hating' because i'm trying to save people a ton of regrets once they get high level. What an asshole i am!

Anybody that follows someone else's build to the t to such a high level is missing out on a lot. Builds like this should only be used as a guide not as concrete mold. People need to experiment with their characters. Smh at any person who can't even design their own character and has to copy somebody elses.
Either way this is a good build. Most witches I see are all cold crit or summoners.

It's quite simple, I've played other chars past 70, I know how damage intake works, I know how debuffs work, I know a decent amount about the mechanics about the game. If you do not like this build you don't have to follow it. You're free to rage as much as you would like on this post. Many people have played it and claimed it's successful. I'm sorry if i've offended you in any type of way. However, it's just that simple. This is a
