Eye and fragments refer to Eye of Chayula and Dream Fragments - two unique items that are borderline essential to making a successful CI caster. I linked them in the first half of the guide. I will check out your topic to see if I can give a few tips to your specific build as well.

Roger, for no stun and no freeze. Got it, thanks!

you should write down that this build is so expensive that most players who needs to follow a guide can't afford it. i'm right now lvl 46 and when i actually come near to the CI switch i realize that i need tons of currency to use this build :( well i love it anyway.. gonna farm a lot more with my marauder until i can play on the witch.

As someone who plays on Anarchy, I dont have access to the Eye, and Unwavering Stance is miles away. Still worth it?

You will die in maps without Unwavering stance. On the new leagues, you will have a hard time trying to adopt this build because Eye is a core item. Taking US with your anarchy witch is still highly recommended and using a caster-oriented ammy will help to lessen the nerf to your damage from having to use 20+ points to reach US.

Really? A CI Build that takes damage from reflect w/ crit chance+multi and doesn't have Vaal Pact?
GL in standard.

With over-capped fire resist and quality life leech, I can plow through reflect maps with ease. If you are scared, though, feel free to carry a ruby flask or two to make you practically immune to reflect damage during that effect. Vaal pact is not at all needed. Ruby flask is optional.

Are you sure Assassination affects spells?

The tooltip says: "Critical strike chance"
While the tooltips for Witches normally say: "Critical strike chance for spells"

The critical chance on that node does in fact apply to spells. I have tested it.

The guide has been updated due to upcoming changes in the 11.2 patch. I have also written a section for Anarchy/Onslaught players since I have been receiving a few questions related to these leagues.

Thank you.

Changed from a sporker to this build, with much better experience than iwas expecting!! Clearing 68-69 maps with complete ease. Working on getting a dream fragment ring now (anarchy league) stun is annoying since no eye on this league. Have about 5.8k fireball Dps. Any tips on increasing Dps? Thanks for the guide!!
