Kripparian's - Freeze pulsar Build (The Witch Version)

Why Pick witch?


My Build:



Kripps Build: Forum link: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/125070/page/17




Skill Gems and Support gems: Note: You will need a 5L for this build to work.


Note: Anger, wrath and hatred wont work with Freezing pulse because its a spell.

Ways to improve the Dps on your Freezing pulse:

Note: Cast speed has a Diminishing returns. Its nearly Impossible to get your freezing pulse cast speed to 0.1 seconds. I believe the maximum is 0.35 seconds. So dont stack too much cast speed.


Crit Multiplier, Crit chance and Elemental damage on Items:


Amulets and rings for Elemental damage. (eg. 15% increased cold damage)

Wands, daggers and Amulets for Crit multiplier and crit chance.


Stuff that wont increase your dps on freezing pulse:





My Witch is Level 54 right now. This is the gear I am using atm:






I am going to Switch my Chest that I am using to

Because its almost impossible to get 2 red 2 blue and 1 green on a Pure armor item (I have used around 120 chromatics on the Pure armor chest and never got 2R 2B 1G)


You will need quality gems for this Build to work out in Maps. 10% Freezing pulse and 10% Added lightning damage is a good start.

With 10% ALD and static blows you get a 55% shock duration and 25% shock chance.




Please leave feed back or any questions here.

Edit: been busy with University, I Will update this during the week end.

you forgot to add that projectile damage(3nodes) from (shadow skill tree) gives some damage to FP.

Also tell us your DPS :)

It's not true.

Cast speed is like shield CD recovery.

If you have a 1s cast spell and 50% cast speed, your spell will be casted 1*(1+0,5)=1,5* per second, or each 0,66s.

If you get 100% cast speed, you spell will be casted 1*(1+1)= twice per second, or each 0,5s.

But in both case, you got only 1 more cast each 2s, there is no diminishing returns.

If you get 500% cast speed, your spell will be casted 1*(1+5)= 6 times per seconde, or each 0,16s. You got 5 more cast per second for 500%.

It's linear. In this example, you get one more cast per seconde each 100% cast speed. For freezing pulse, you get one more cast each 0,65s each 100% cast speed.

I Went with Cruelty close to the marauder tree instead, but people can change it if they think that they have enough crit multiplier. Dps on my lv 13 Fp is 449.1 @ 0.49 Sec cast speed without any Auras. 482.4 @ 0.46 sec cast speed with my rank 6 haste aura on (8% increased cast speed).

It should increase when I use the other chest and add Lightning support gem.

Can someone conform if this is really true? Because I have a ground slam templar and I seem to be getting less and less benfit from attack speed. It has 128% increased attack speed, but the actual attack speed on ground slam isnt being reduced past 0.35 seconds. So i thought its the same for spells.

well difference between 2 attakcs per sec and 3 attacks isnt that big as between 1 and 2 even thought in both cases u have 100% attack speed more over the previous breakpoint

Looks like fun, thanks for sharing :)

i can confirm the cast speed. i was able to reach .29 cast speed with fp before i respec

were you using freezing pulse to exp or start with smth else and then switch to freezing pulse?

Freezing Pulse is like the go-to spell for starting out anyway. I'm not seeing how you would not start with it.

I should think that:

Time per cast = Base cast time / (1 + Cast speed increase)

so, the amount of casts you can get off within the base cast time of the spell (increase in spells per second) would be:

Spells over time increase = Base cast time / (Base cast time / (1 + Cast speed increase))

Spells over time increase = 1 + Cast speed increase

That is a linear relationship according to the graph below
