I know that the build doesn't require snapshotting but I was just wondering if it would be cheaper. Should I purchase a good 5-6L es chest or just use a high es chest without links and a white 6L? I am new to summoners and snapshotting so I don't know if it will be nerfed any time soon.

I was also wondering how much ES I should aim for on my chest.

There's a snapshotting thread, it's probably on page 2 or 3 of the witch forum. A search should find it quick. All I can say is that you can get to level 84 without 'hardcore' snapshotting and without dying much at all.

How much ES on your chest? As much as you can get. Hit poe.xyz and see what you can find.

A 5L chest is not needed; my 5th slot is taken up by an 'Item Rarity' gem. So for just killing mobs and pharming experience, that gem socket is wasted. It really depends upon your goals. A decent 5L chest is something like 5 exalted. That's just 6 'rows' of alts. Not so hard to farm that much.

This gear was about the best I was willing to afford. It hit my 'gotta haves': 5L, a solid Life attribute, and 500+ ES. The nice lightning resist was a bonus.

There is far better gear out there of course, and it costs 30 to 200+ exalted.

Don't spend the currency on a piece of substandard gear. You should have a gearing strategy. If a piece of gear doesn't fit your strategy, do not buy it. (I am assuming you're in Merciless and things are getting harder...)

If you don't have a gearing strategy, come up with one. It will help you refrain from buying great gear that does not advance your character. For example, I am wholly satisfied with my main weapon.

Inexplicable to most. But look at that mana regen. That, and the 3L, are the only attributes I care about. That weapon cost me about 1c. I have been using it for at least 10 levels. If I found one with 55%+ mana regen and '+1 cold gems' I would switch to it, maybe, since I use Arctic Armor all the time (literally, I never turn it off, and it never goes away...)

I don't know if you know it but I'll say it anyway :D.

You can +1 all gems on weapon, you should check poe xyz atleast 1 a day for it.

I really hope you get one.

Hi guys, have a question here. So I had a 5L chest that consisted of multistrike + melee splash + raise zombie + IIR + IIQ. The thing is, the spectres (evangelists) are killing some of the other monsters before the zombies do and all that IIR and IIQ are wasted. How do you guys deal with this?

My idea is just to 5L my culling strike arc which also has IIR. So it would look like this: Culling strike + arc + iir + iiq + chain.

Is that the most ideal setup? How do you guys do it effectively without "wasting" some of the mobs?

Thinking make CI MF summoner, since got 64lvl witch with reseted tree. Some things bothering me:

1. Full MF summoner clear speed, how quick and "good" drops combared to 0 MF quicker clearer Blender/Ele ST for example and its viable to do end game maps?

2. Evangelist? Wiki didnt know nothing ???

Got some "decent" mf es parts rdy, 12% Q belt, 24% Q gloves, Item Quantity gems and thought give this try if it could give some more and "better" drops in quite same time than previously named builds. Prolly even I could sell my Blender gear (leg bor, decent weps) for CI MF gear.
