Level 31, no quality gems or anything (well apart from the 9% IB). It's pretty hilarious in action.

Glad I could help with the facebreaker idea. I have a level 79 facebreaker duelist that I really enjoy playing, but again the drops just suck. That is what gave me the idea of trying out the stuff on the witch :D

This build starts off really slow. Like all caster builds your dps is dependent on gem level. Join public groups and get carried into your 50s, also get carried through content. Make "HELP ME, I'M AT X" groups, usually high level players check other acts once in a while and help out with bosses.

Or, if you got some currency, do this:



960dps, lvl 43 and kills groups with 1 or 2 hits. :)

I could do exactly this, but I just quit a facebreaker char and am not really in the mood of doing it again lol. I guess I just have to bite my way through until merciless with 40 tooltip dps spork! gonna be fun :)

e: zomg it's 58 now

Don't worry, I did the same. It's slow progress but if you can grab a soul mantle, you're good to go. :)

Posting to remember the colours and links and items for later in case I use my sporker again.



In case any of you encounters a helmet with the same or higher MF and ~400 ES, shoot a PM at me. I'll mirror it.

Oke so i decided to use my full respec to turn my lvl 47 summoner into this build, because it's my first char and i want a char to farm with.

I'm looking to buy some good stuff now, like wondertrap, facebreakers, soul mantle. But can someone explain to me why the face breakers are so good, my spork totem is not effected by the huge increase in physical dmg is it?

And another question, as i can do a full respec now, is it wise to get ancestral bond right now? (i suppose so, trying to help my single totem out with some arc now, not really impressive and mana intensive).

And another question, the low life is to enable pain attunement right? And the low life is reached by using blood magic on auras (like clarity) right? I think it's wise to not start using this skill for some while now, untill i've been comfortable with it and know i can sustain the drain.

The entire right side of passives (following the link in this thread: will cost me about 40 passives, i currently have about 57 passives to spend. Which passives should i absolutely take with my 57 or so passives to spend?

Thanks in advance, already looking forward to farming :P

The earlier you got double totem, the more problems you will have. Totem dps will be low and you can't deal any damage which slows down progress (and causes many deaths). Facebreakers is only nice for leveling, though I ran into big problems at merciless docks and switched to freeze pulse for a bit until I could get what I wanted.

Here's your fixed endgame build.

No need for EA and other shenanigans when you wear Springleaf.

You're pretty early on, grab the shock node and pick up ES nodes, then slowly move over to the right side of the tree. You go low life in your mid 70s to 80s unless you have very good gear before. Crit nodes.. grab the most efficient ones first and skip the others for a long time. ES is more important. Run auras asap.

Oke yeah that's what i thought, no double totem until the totem is really powerful enough.

Why is facebreakers only nice for leveling? It gives 60% increased critical strike multiplier, i guess thats good, not just for leveling?

I don't know what EA or other shenanigans are . . .

Oke so i take the right path along the ES nodes, to Unnatural calm (12% max ES + faster recovery), bloodthirst and doom cast (60 and 45% critical strike) up until the Shock node, Mental Aquity and Assasination, Coordination with the Evasion and ES nodes with Nullification at the end. That path will cost me: 41 passives. It will give me:
- 40% mana regen, 28% increased mana,
- 98% increased ES, 25% increased ES cooldown recovery
- 20 mana, 140 Intel, 20 Dex
- 45% increased lightning dmg, 2% increased cast speed,
- 230% crit strike chance, 60% crit strike multiplier
- 5% chance to block
- 3% increased cast and attack speed
- 4% movement speed
- 36% evasion rating
- 8% all elemental res

So with following the right path (spending these 40 passives) i have 10 left (at lvl 47) to follow the left path, which means i can reach ancestral bond at lvl 60 soonest. Other things to pick along the left path are: Inner force (increased effect of buffs on you), Mean streak (more crit), Zealot's Oath (life regen applied on ES), Arcane Potency (lots of crit), Celestial Walker and Elementalist (+10% ele dmg each) and Body and Soul (ES) and Static Blows (but OP said this was unnecessary, but probably not for low lvl noob like me right?).

Oke so think the right side seems like a good way to both find ES and dmg. To then go to ancestral bond and pick all the rest of the extra dmg nodes there. Am i missing something important? And no pain attunement until im strong enough to use blood magic. So how about RF, is that still important or is that also something to worry about at later stages?

Do not go Inner Force until you are very high level. It's mainly used for righteous fire (RF) and before you can make good use of RF (~2k dps with it) it's a waste of points. You can go for RF maybe around 65ish? You definitely need Springleaf, vitality aura and the 1% life regen node for it as well as high fire resistance, making it hard to sustain RF for many people.

Get ES nodes quickly. This build is squishy. I've seen my ES drop by 3000 in Lunaris 3 in a matter of seconds and that is certain death for many people.

Here are 57 spent points. Next to grab for the next 15 levels:

Here, maybe get totem a bit earlier, up to you. Look at totem dps. Depends a lot on your wand and your spark gem level.

I cant find the post again, but somewhere on here was a list of the maps we could possibly run pre-shav.

Does anyone know what they are?

I found I can do sewers since the hallways allow corner tossing totems, but would like to know what else is safe since I'm stockpiling level 66 maps currently.

I don't think you quite understood the purpose of FB here - you're not supposed to use it to play an actual spork witch. You simply ignore the entire spork/totem/etc. setup until you get to a higher level, level up your passive tree as you would if you were playing a spork build, and just punch your way to merciless Docks with a decent shield*+FB, physical damage rings/amulet and an Infernal Blow+Faster Attacks+Multistrike+Melee Splash combo.

is nice to start with due to the life leech and all.
