How many exalted do you estimate is needed to build this character to your level from scratch?

Probably around 50 depending on how good the armour is and 6L and how good the weapon.
Cheaper if you go with 5L.

loving the char a lot tho im still far of the 20k damage :|

hard to get all the stuff upgraded to lvl 20 and 20% quality

It takes time to itemize.
If only there was a faster way to trade.
Gem leveling also needs an overhaul.

Lucked into a 5L Holy Chainmail (Lvl 36) that Piety was kind enough to leave laying about... Only L36 so I really don't want to spend the crap ton of Chromatics to get the links set up right. But I will likely have it for a good long while. Need to work on the Mods some though.



Many of the Gems I am currently equipping I am just carrying around to level until I get the "Cast when Damage Taken's" and the gear to slot them in.

That will do just fine.
Use PCOC when you have enough base crit to maintain the charges.
It wont help if you cant keep the charges up.

hello again!
what do u think about this change?

Added a 250ms cooldown to Cast on Damage Taken. There are more changes to this support gem coming in 1.0.1.

I'm running the build in nemesis (lvl 52). I don't have it yet and i'm doing just fine.
But I don't know at end game how this affects.

Thx again!

The answer to that lays to the description of immortal call and increase duration.

Immortal call base duration with out charges is 0.20 at all levels. 20/20 has 20% duration thats 0.04 extra duration.
Increased Duration level 1 adds 50%. A 20/20 adds 103%.

So you are getting 0.30 second of immortal call when you take damage with a level 1 Increased Duration. 0.406 with a 20/20.
Cast when damage taken cool down is 0.25.

Remember, this is with out endurance charges.

So a 20/20 Immortal Call + 20/20 Increase Duration + 1-3 endurance charges will give about 2-6 seconds of physical immunity. To lazy to do the

I doubt you can ever have enough cast speed with EK to go lower than 0.25.
You shouldn't be stacking cast speed on the build anyway.

Enduring Cry has a cool down of 4 or 5 seconds anyway. I think is 5.

Everything will be cast like before.

Nothing really changed, they just made it less spammy.

Until the next patch...

EDIT
My math might be slightly wrong because I don't know if the quality gems add to the base or the total. Margin error between 0.1-0.3 on duration.

is around 2k dps on the tooltip good at level 61? I have a pretty "meh" weapon + shield but i kill everything pretty damn fast.

Well if you are killing fast then I guess is very good.
10k DPS with EK is consider very good. It will 2 shot normal monsters.

You need to remember that EK is physical damage, very few monsters are resistant to physical damage.
9/10 monsters are resistant to some element or all elements or chaos.
And pretty much the physical resistance monsters are inside maps with "Armoured" prefix.

Well, pretty much stripped my higher level Ranger and Shadow to afford it, but bought the 3x "Cast when Damage Taken" needed. Set them up and wow... I had thought the Witch powerful before...
L43 now, made Dominus my bitch a few levels ago, now I nearly fell asleep finishing Act 1 Cruel. LOL

HP - 883
ES - 331
MP - 651



Jewelry is adequate so far.


Weapon is meh and mostly a stat stick and container for Gems I am leveling. Seriously want better Weapon and Shield.


Made a mistake and leveled my AA a bit too high, if I run long distances my mana runs dry.
Thanks again for posting this build, Fun as hell!
