ICE WITCH GUIDE (CI + FREEZING PULSE with LIFE LEECH 0.25 Cast Spd Per Pulse.)

First of all, thank you so much for this guide. I started an ice witch yesterday and I'm 48 now and loving it.

What do you think of using Taryn's Shiver rather than dual wands? Would the chance to freeze and extra damage on frozen targets as well as the extra level of gem make up for the loss of extra spell damage/cold damage/cast speed from dual wanding?

Could I persuade you to link your gear please? I'd love to see what you're running with.

Also you mentioned using 2 diamond flasks but I thought they don't exist in the game anymore?

If ur running out of mana with mana leech on then i dont know what to tell u. You must be missing alot of ur hits then.

u need more ES at ur lvl, at least 2.5k. Get a better chest with 400+ ES chest and a 200+ ES shield and u will have alot more ES to avoid deaths. And what is your passive tree btw?

thanks for your answer

this is my passive

Passive skill tree build

i also want to ask

spell damage and critical chance witch is better?

because i have 2 ES shield.

and i use high ES one,now i have 1900 ES with buff,but FP dps is down to 15xx.

Although i solo in dock is easy but slow.

Thanks for your reading.

If u farm docks then get a Wondertrap boots and run haste with blood magic and grab the Pain Attunement passive for 30% spell dmg. Also why didnt u take the big ES node at the start and why do u have 2 ES recovery in the Shadow path?

Get rid of those recovery.

Wand + shield is better and dual wand if u think u can handle it

Does anyone have a "pulse" on what to offer for GMP in today's economy? I'm up and coming so I don't want to overpay. I've tried up to 4 chaos and am not having any luck!

GMP is 2 gcp or 6 chaos.
I have one for sal eif ur interested.

Im glad to see people are liking this guide.
Just for you guys, I've added a new section which will further improve your gameplay with different support dps gems to choose from. It is on the first post of the guide, look for March 20th update.

Have fun!

Hello

I just hit A3 Cruel with my Level 50 witch and up to this point it has been pretty easy and fun thought I have died quite a few times to some nasty rares that insisted on taking down. Now though I find I am dying more often to just normal mobs whereas I can usually run into a room and wipe/freeze lock it out in seconds.

So my question is, is this normal? Is this that hard part of Cruel the guide mentioned and should I just slog through it until I get to Merciless?

My stats are
75% FR/CR/LR and -12 Chaos (This really sucks but hard to find chaos resist)
Life 482
ES 845 (with disc)
Freezing Pulse DPS 664

I'm running 4L FP and 4L IS + spell totem as listed in the guide. I am trying to save up to get 5L but I only have 1 exalted so far and they cost so much.


Any tips?

TL;DR
Should I just slog it through until I get to Merciless?
Anyway to get a 5L chest with 1 exalt?
Any other tips?

]Hi,im using vaal pact but it seems not work (or not so good) did you test it?

its not gear depended
