[3.0]PewPewPews Official Cheap Firestorm Build - Perfect for Newcomers/SSF

Hey, I kinda wanna upgrade my rings/necklace

Can you post some god-tier rings/necklace so I can work towards that goal?

@Appels_Zijn_Gezond

Thanks for the answer

I found this build is weak at Thornrunner.
My minion can't catch up this shxt and melt in a few seconds by its spell.
And this shxt is almost immune to my firestorm because of its fxcking Proximity Shield.
And its attack is too hurt, so my witch should run away.

Except this shxt, this build is awesome!

Don't rightly know if anyone else has mentioned this, but zombies on Kitava's are broken with this build!!!

Can you take a look at my gear and see where I need upgrades or make changes to? I'm running t 12-14 maps and can clear the mobs but when it comes to the bosses i'm having trouble. my life is 4,089 and es is 2,111.
fire res. 166% / lighting res. 149% / cold res. 147% / chaos -40%

Hey guys, i have a question, i just recently started playing PoE and i made a Firestorm Witch and she's lvl 63 right now but i wanted to try to make my firestorm cast by totems because most of the time I die is because of randoms meteor and stuffs, do you guys think its a good idea ?

Hmmm, what about The Consuming Dark as weapon?

I got a question regarding cast on damage taken, what if I put molten shell there? would it mess with immortal call, how would it work out?

It works well. Many builds combine both of them. They'll both cast when you hit the damage threshold.

Pledge of Hands 6 link (Firestorm,Controlled Destruction,Empower,Increased Duration,Concentrated Effect,Elemental Focus Support) Im tool tipping for 5k+ and 5.50 duration.

55 x 5000 = 275,000 x 2 = 550,000

550,000 damage over 5.5 seconds seems great to me.







So yeah the 250% spell damage is very effective so yeah Im loving the build. now i adjusted it to my liking but still solid.

Thank you very much for this fantastic guide. Excellent! May I ask some questions please? Forgive me if they seem naive, I'm not a pro. Your time in answering is greatly appreciated.

. Why is this so important to you? Without an investment in Endurance charge nodes, how important is it? Would it be possible to get Mana leech from a different source?

2. I have never tried Firestorm before, since I always figured it was great for killing big packs of mobs, but I need another skill for bosses. And as a witch, especially one which hides behind summoned meatshields, bosses are so difficult to me: my minions always die, even with more investment than yours. Do you sometimes switch main skill to something like Fireball for bosses, or is that ridiculous?

3. Elementalist is your favorite by far, what would be your second and third choices?

4. Since you are also adding some lighting via HoT, why not then take Elemental Equilibrium? Wouldn't that give you free penetration? (I use an arc-totem to proc EE on my Flame Sentinels, it seems to work, and was considering using your trick, or perhaps using Ball Lightning until I get the correct Ascendancy points....)

5. Are you by any chance Dutch? Just guessing by the healthy apple name. Your English is fantastic; if by any chance you should want a donation to your cause, I would "correct" the very few idiomatic and orthographic anomalies in your main guide for you. PM me if you are interested.

6. I'm having trouble understanding HoT and boss fights, you use HoT to proc WM, but this will only work once you have killed a shocked enemy, right? What do you do in boss fights without much trash?


I love this guide because it is (1) well-written; you explain instead of just show; and most importantly (2) it is reasonable and doable for may people. I really dislike builds which require Shavs (5+ link), since (a) if I can afford a Shavs then I am already strong enough to not need that build, and (b) what can I NOT do with a Shavs? I don't need help anymore once I have one. Your guide is tremendous. Thank you!
