Spoiler

If you can make up the resist on other pieces of gear atziri's step is worth using


Other then that any high armour or evasion boots with hp/res.



Helmet
Spoiler

Devoto's is a option if resist can be capped without a helmet

Other then that any good high armour or eva helm with hp/res



Belt
Spoiler


Great resist and some physical damage

Prefered belt is a rustic with hp/res, WED is a bonus



Rings/Amulet
Spoiler

Rings are used for hp and to cap resist.
So just look for hp/resist and flat physical damage or life leech is a bonus.


Amulets you'll want a good flat physical roll with hp, same with ring life leech is a good bonus.




Hope you enjoyed my little witch build.

Just letting you know I've been using this guide for my first ever character and I love it. I love being an avant garde witch. Thanks for all the hard work. :)

Question: Why did you decide to dual wield?
Its for the dual wield bonus and also 3 green socket prismatic eclipse gives 36% global increase attack speed.
