Witch - [2.6] Chaos Animate Weapon Necromancer (EHC level 100!) - Forum

" NorrYtt wrote: I know Spell Totem is all the rage but I made a demo with Cast While Channelling which I've been using in select circumstances to bypass the mana cost of Animate Weapon. This really only matters if you stay mana-based which I am (using Heretic's Veil). I use it for post-breaches and on no regen maps. Cast While Channelling + Animate Weapon Demo BTW, how are people handling no regen maps? Doesn't it just completely own your ability to cast spells if you are Eldritch Battery? Does something like Sorrow of the Divine still work or what am I missing? I just use a mana flask with Cast While Channelling and it works. You can only do no regen if youre EB. And despite totem costing about 250 mana its overall cost is lower than self cast because you put it once and it summons on his own so its better even for mana based builds Last edited by arcadius#6258 on Dec 21, 2016, 5:42:52 AM	Posted by arcadius#6258 on Dec 21, 2016, 5:40:48 AM Quote this Post
Uber what do you think about going hybrid chaos/ele? You get poison from sword + added chaos from Envy which is like 50% of added chaos gem. On top of it you run Wrath + Anger and 6L like that - AW + MinionDMG + WEaponEle + Ele focus + Void (for poison double dip but I dont know if its the best option, maybe just inc duration/totem) + Splash No curses on Blasphemy but CWC wither instead. Only problem is fitting Discipline into all this. I got interested in it because my tooltip with aurabot went up from 1.8k to 14k on single weapon. For single play it may be total overkill tho Last edited by arcadius#6258 on Dec 21, 2016, 5:48:21 AM	Posted by arcadius#6258 on Dec 21, 2016, 5:46:33 AM Quote this Post
What would be the issues with just going ci? I've got a ci spectre/golem necro with a similar tree and thinking about a respec. Edit: I've answered my own question.

I have to say I love this build. The damage is awesome. Did as third map on this char a Xoph's Domain and the boss got demolished withthin 3 seconds. Couldn't even put down a vaal lightning trap. And with the helm enchantment I reached 100+ weapons today, but than lagg became an issue. Gear at lvl74 (4.3khp/3.6k ES): Spoiler I lvled with SRS, severed in sleep, tabula with lvl2 empower, anger on genersoity, ball lightning coh + enfeeble & vulnerability. Was quit fast. Still have to improve my gear, but that can wait for now.	Posted by 7thSlap#3889 on Dec 21, 2016, 5:07:58 PM Quote this Post
Thanks for your reply ! Another question, does the level/stats of weapons animated is important ? Ty !	Posted by Misereux#3583 on Dec 21, 2016, 9:00:01 PM Quote this Post
What about the perfect form + atziti boots for defense instead of MoM? you get free arctic armor and 46% spell dodge and can just use evasion/life gear to get at least a 40% evasion?	Posted by lailaseth#2860 on Dec 21, 2016, 9:44:46 PM Quote this Post

Level is good to have for minion life i think but the dmg increase isn't that great. But, if you use Skin of the loyal, the difference between a lvl20 and a lvl22 added chaos is the same as Envy so it s a really good increase Last edited by corsi2b#2711 on Dec 22, 2016, 1:43:26 AM	Posted by corsi2b#2711 on Dec 22, 2016, 1:39:35 AM Quote this Post
I've never played AW and oddly enough, SRS for that matter. Does this build have a high APM? https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/988f3369-4b68-4eb9-bc0e-edfce4c3c950	Posted by Moridin79#6328 on Dec 22, 2016, 6:06:19 PM Quote this Post
