ICE WITCH GUIDE (CI + FREEZING PULSE with LIFE LEECH 0.25 Cast Spd Per Pulse.)
I just hit Act 3 Merciless, currently in the mid 50s levelwise.
Running a 15%FP with LMP, Life Leech and faster casting. Will be a few Levels before start looking for a 5 Link armor but i have been curious if anyone tried out the Soul-Siphon Cluster which gives 25Mana/Kill and use more damage orientated support gem instead of Mana leech. Result would be something like that http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMBAv4FOgVCB2MQexEtES8RUBa_FvMXVBzcIoEmPClPKwosnC1HL50y0TrYO-FBlkLDRUdG10cGTdhQQlZKVytdxl3yX2pgbW0ZcFJw1XNTfIN_xoIQgpuEr4fbiEKMNox2jjyOZI6-j_qVBJmanYCio6crrrOvm7TFtQS297b6uJO71r46wFTBAMHFwfPC7MNtxczN-tsa2-fd89-E37Di9-Qi5oHrY-vu7BjsOPId8-r1S_em Anyone has tried that already? |

Thanks for the great guide Xmu. I certainly appreciate being given some direction. I was kind of not knowing what to do since Open Beta. I hadn't played in awhile since the character wipe (not for that reason), but knew from reading the forums that the old CI Cold Crit Witch (which is the type I used to play with in CB) wasn't as viable, due to CI being nerfed?
Anyway, I was already well into my new witch (level 35) when I stumbled upon your guide and realized I'd need a lot of regrets to change her. I instantly used the 5 respect points I had to try to follow your passive skill tree more closely. I really don't want to start over, so I think what I'll do is start to follow your path, respec when I can afford it (as I'm sure will happen as I continue to find currency,etc.) until I'm completely on track with your guide. Here is the link to my build. If you think I should just start over, I will, but if you think my plan to follow your guide and change the mistakes I made when I can (right now I think I still need about 10 or so respec points?LOL), then that's what I'll do(and is preferred). Thanks for any help Xmu, and anybody else that would care to comment/offer help. :D Last edited by Illuvatar_82#0609 on Mar 23, 2013, 11:28:22 PM

" That is the most useless passive point, dont bother. Firing one pulse will cost u more than what u get from 1 kill, so ur better off getting some mana regen instead. Also if u play in party, u will not always be the one who gets the kill. " You dont need to start over if u dont want to. You will get more free respec point as u do more quest in each difficulty. But u should refund those Crit multiplier when u get respec point. My IGN : Xmu / TeeBones

Already used more than 250 chromatic in order to do a gggbbr vaal regalia.... but nothing sigh sigh ... i think critical is better then cold penetration :P

" Or you do what i did after i burned through my chroms: buy a carnal armor. You have to live with a 400ish ES though (at least the eva bonus from Nullification is no longer wasted). |

What do you guys think of the windscream boots? Is the extra curse and 10% dmg increase worth the drop in ES and MS? Was thinking about getting a pair since they aren't too expensive.

" i spent 350 chromatics to get mine. " No, it is not worth it at all. If u really have to run 2 curse then get a ring instead. My IGN : Xmu / TeeBones
