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

" return33 wrote: Is life leech (=ES leech) really vialbe without Vaal Pact? Around 600-800 HP before CI i guess - so you can leech a maximum of 120-150 ES per second? Life leech depends on the amount of damage u dealt and the % of life leech on ur gem. Lets say u did 5000 damage and your life leech gem is lvl 20 which gives u 10% life leech. That means u gain 500 ES but this 500 ES will take a few secs to regen. What Vaal Impact does is to make that 500 ES apply instantly instead of waiting for the full regen duration to take place. So even if your max ES was 500, u would still leech 500 ES back. Max ES dont affect how much u leech, only ur gem and dmg does but it affects the amount u regen in that duration. But to answer ur queston, Vaal impact is very effective against mob that reflect elemental damage. The videos i have in the guide doesnt use Vaal Impact so u can use that and judge for urself. Edit: i just went over ur question and noticed i read it in a wrong way but yea ur right.

Pretty huge change to CI in tomorrow's patch : " There are now four Energy Shield passives behind Chaos Inoculation. There are three 8% additional Energy Shield nodes and a new notable (Infused Shield), which adds a 20% multiplicative Energy Shield bonus. Source Procurement : The Ultimate Exile's Companion!

Im so excited ... so damn excited :)	Posted by return33 on Mar 12, 2013, 7:28:18 AM Quote this Post
Hi, i fell in love with this build and respecced my dual totem ice spear witch to get it. However I find damage to be on the low side and can never in my dream reach 6k dps on fp. I am using a 86% dmg wand with rathpith and have 2,35 atk per second (without frenzy charges) right now on my lvl 17 q15 fp while sitting on 3,4k es and 75% to each resist. So I know that i need to improve speed and get quality on my gmp / fc gems but i still only shoot at 1200 dps and i don t know how to get to 6 K or even 4K. Is this because i lack crits nodes ? (Haven t picked em yet) or am i doing sthing wrong ? I also get pwn by far away archers which interrupt me continuously? Does better cast speed solved this ?

First, ty for the build and your responses to the many pages of comments and questions. I am enjoying this build very much, currently lvl 31. Here are a few comments and questions. 1. There are three crit chance nodes 25-15-15 opposite three cast speed increases 3-3-3. in your build you took the crit chance over the cast speed. With the stressing of the cast speed commented on in your original post as well as comments by others, please comment on the why of one over the other. 2. Above the "Savant node" you took three cold damage nodes: +6%-+6%-+12% = Total 24% cold damage with +15% cold resist, but above the "Deep Wisdom node" there are three cold damage nodes that have +6%+6%+18% = 30% cold damage with 0% cold resist. What I have heard from others is all resists to +75% late game is really not that difficult, whereas I admit to being way below any end game level, I am still curious to hear your comments.

I just don't get how you get 3x more dps than me with you having 0.25 cast/ sec and i'm at 0.34.. Very similar gear and build in comparison.

Just to ask, i see that you didnt take hp nodes and then respec them, how did you deal with chaos damage until you get CI with so low hp, doesnt chaos damage do damage directly to your hp going trough energy shield	Posted by dzanko on Mar 12, 2013, 8:25:02 PM Quote this Post

As for ur dps, i cant give u any advise unless u post ur equips or skill tree. " Ishkabibble wrote: First, ty for the build and your responses to the many pages of comments and questions.

Ishkabibble The tree passive i have on my guide is only around lvl 75 but you should take both the 24% and 30% above the Wisdom when you have enough passive points. And i chose spell crit over cast spd b/c i have wands with high cast spd to cover that. I want to maintain a 40% crit chance on my pulse. " I just don't get how you get 3x more dps than me with you having 0.25 cast/ sec and i'm at 0.34.. Very similar gear and build in comparison. there is alot of factor, i cannot tell u how to get more dps unless u show ur tree and gears.
