well it was mainly a question about itemization, mainly if I should try to go for armor/es gear instead of pure es gear. 120% increased armor from skills does nothing if the base value is 0 etc.

Go for it

Do note the fact that most of them are mirror services.

Can I get links of your tree, items and some screenshots of your defense/offense tabs?

Basically for reference for other people that want to use this build on nemesis.


Regards

Sure you can!
It was really slow until about 70+ as you said in your post. But im enjoying it alot now. :-)

Gear:


Passive:


Screenshots:

This build has been great so far... Now I'm not poor as dirt like with my other characters.

My stuff


Been trying to copy OP's stuff but some are really expensive, so been trying to get alternates.
Also, zombies are pretty good and managed to survive to Merciless. This build isn't super OP yet for me, I can't do damage to dom on cruel, guess it's the lack of everything lol.

Found a lot of uniques on Ledge which would never happen on my other characters. Although they were crappy uniques but still pretty cool. IIQ 98% and IIR 144%.

Well, keep in mind that I have been playing for a few months and I did find some expensive items, like the two Kaoms hearts, which I sold for total of 48 exalted and now they worth like 200 exalted each :/.
It took time to collect my gear.

If you go back a few pages you will see a screenshot I took of Dominus dropping 4 uniques at once.

Edit.

Here is the screenshot.


Also I never claimed that this build is OP. I said, you can stack a lot of IIR/IIQ with high survival and decent DPS.

Ah okay.
You've got ripped on that one btw :D.

Hi, passed by to say I like your build. Sadly I haven't found your leveling guide before.

It's my second character, I play it in domination, my main is in standard league, it's a duelist(a "blender" lvl85 without any of its core uniques). The character is level 62, curently act3 mercyless.

So I'm very still "noob". I may say that I find your spec quite nice in theory, in practice I am more and more amazed by how skills scale and how long it takes to level up a gem. It took me roughly 85 lvls of xp to get lvl20 gems as a blender duelist jumping around like crazy in 67-70 maps without dying or almost.

How have you managed it? It seems really crazy to me. Cherry on the cake I derped severely and leveluped clarity like a noob to lvl9, so no dual aura for me.(I was taking mana on gear like no tomorrow, thinking it was the way to go! :D)

People need to know that witch is far harder to play and far less immediate than it seems. 15 times more things to check than a melee and nothing is handled with a rightclic; gear and gems are very hard to manage(because of the scaling of some and those str/dex requirements! but also the needed quality of some!)

As a duelist I could farm a lower lvl map when I had gear issues, here with those level 20 gems required I'll definitely have to do harder and harder maps for like two weeks, probably dying a lot and stagnating level wise!

Sorry if this was asked before but I can't read 100 pages of thread.

Can this build be played with Shadow? I rly don't like how Witch looks and would like to try it out with Shadow instead. Anyone maybe tried it and has passive tree build for this as Shadow? Thanks!

You will waste 5 skill points with a shadow character.

I rly rly rly don't care, that's how much I don't like Witch class and I rly want to play Summoner MF build. I guess build would look the same with Shadow I will just invest first 5 points into Spell Damage -> 3x Intelligence -> Strenght -> Intelligence to come to the path of your build, right?

Hey, Thanks for the build and advice

I'm new around here, and this was my third toon through normal. Hardest playstyle so far and, as you pointed out, very hard survival at low levels. Infact it mostly felt like I wasn't playing a summoner until late twenties with me mostly using Firestorm/Fireball/Freezing pulse/Cold Snap

I finished normal at 40th level solo, with found gear, although only just. I very nearly gave up trying to kill Dom a second time since i couldnt get minions out quick enough. Fortunately, in the end decoy totem seemed to work long enough for my skele bombs to take him. That said, I finished having died nearly 20 times in total. I think my claws shadow (first toon) died 10 times and my Scion chainsawed through with less than 5 total (from memory).

As I started cruel, I invested in a couple gems. In hindsight I should have bought a rejuve totem much much earlier and, once the +1 skele keystones were in the build, a spell totem.

All of that said, in Cruel it's been quite fun so far and I'm looking forward to rounding the build at a bit more, certainly more than my other toons.

Thanks again.
