Witch - Dual Totem Dual Curse EK Witch level 83 6.1k dps ( Video and Guide ) - Forum

" zekerferc wrote: I guess you don't have 5l yet. This build shines with it really because we already waste 1 socket slot for spell totem. Also I had a really nice gear :) My wand maybe lack some cast speed but had a huge spell damage as well as the shield. My rings had cast speed and amu had spell damage,crit and cast speed. Even my gloves and belt increases my dps. I don't know why your mana is too low though, I didn't have too much mana, es coming from my gear and I had like 700 active mana. I really don't know why people think Chaos damage is op and needs some resistance though. I mean the only tough mob that deals chaos damage is the poison bombers and they are not that quite hard. I thought of making a Marauder Dual Totem LA and even written a build for it :) https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/204333 Actually I do have a 5L ^^ My gear is just bad, it's basically all defensive. It's working anyway and will only become stronger and stronger. Chaos Damage is just nasty because of me having -60 resistance. Spitting Snakes with LMP are really dangerous, given they pierce (or fork or whatever) and sometimes hit me if I'm not asap out of their firing line. Funny that you did a guide about that build. Didn't look in the Marauder forums, my bad. Will check it out immediately.	Posted by Unimatrix on Mar 13, 2013, 7:13:47 AM Quote this Post
How is the DPS on this build compared to the 2x Spark or 2x Ice Spear builds?	Posted by Valentia on Mar 13, 2013, 6:43:39 PM Quote this Post
i would even say that for a new player in this game this build is a very good starting point. i find melees, rangers and to some degree other caster classes very dependant on gear because survivability = resilience * how fast does the mob go down * 100% just kidding. with my (physical) ranger (and her bow) i had problems putting down sanguine mobs at times. EK scales very well. the only thing i havent really figured out yet is min-maxing auras; 2x 1540 dps without haste and curses is something my ranger or my templar will have a hard time to achieve. edit: figured out the min/max thingie Last edited by ab_ on Mar 16, 2013, 9:48:19 PM	Posted by ab_ on Mar 14, 2013, 3:17:06 AM Quote this Post
I wonder how my build works with the new unique es chest, low life, righteous fire combo :) 100 points Wand and Belt will be the same, Shield would be Saffel's or Springleaf, Chest is Shavronne's and rest are high ES stuff. Auras will be Vitality, Purity, Clarity, Discipline and Hatred. One or two of these will run with Blood Magic to maintain low life. Although I will need Life Leech in one of the sockets. And Mana regen and active mana pool would be too low. Last edited by zekerferc on Mar 15, 2013, 11:45:13 AM	Posted by zekerferc on Mar 15, 2013, 11:44:32 AM Quote this Post
What do you guys think about using CI instead of EB/HP for dual totem EK? Pretty much Dom's CI Spork build but taking projectile damage nodes instead of lightning/elemental damage.	Posted by Arkius on Mar 16, 2013, 7:42:17 PM Quote this Post

Could be done actually. I just made a quick build. 102 points Misses additional 1 curse , some spell damage and crit. Hp/eb is still the viable option I think, because you need large mana pool for EK to cast it efficiently. It has already huge mana cost with the spell totem. ( 190 for me ) Also , you will need Life Leech for it instead of 1 support gem ( FP, FC or ADF ) And obviously you gonna need an ES Chest with RRRGB or RRRGG which is kinda hard to get.

What is the point of linking leech to EK totem? As far as I'm aware neither life or mana leech count to the player via the totem, they just add to the totem	Posted by Doddzy on Mar 16, 2013, 10:10:11 PM Quote this Post
so... i am running discipline, haste and clarity (naturally) and still got some 1400 mana left. which aura would further my dps? (66-68 maps and i pretty much cant die, even if there are a lot of spike shooting snakes around and no way to duck the damage). naturally, i pop drinks rather often, and i see no way to get a rrggb linked on an eva/ES chest so i am pretty much stuck at 2x2100 dps for now (no added fire damage). edit: hatred works with spell totem? ima try it out edit2: hell yeah! 2x2500 with very mediocre gear and no added fire damagen gem.

bump! Way too strong and fun a build with low requirements to be hidden in the later pages. Last edited by Unimatrix on Mar 29, 2013, 8:10:02 AM	Posted by Unimatrix on Mar 29, 2013, 8:09:43 AM Quote this Post
Could be a stupid question, but I noticed that on your passive tree you took acceleration. Is that just for the dexterity, or does the +12% IAS apply to EK even though its attack speed and not cast speed?	Posted by ShadowyDream on Mar 29, 2013, 10:15:07 AM Quote this Post
