Small questions, I'm following this guide, but I have some doubts about:

-You use a dagger or a wand for start leveling?
-All the Ele. Resist. you have is all in your gear?
-Do you pick any node that isn't there now? I mean... for leveling first.
-At what level did you get Vaal Pact? I know Chaos Inoculation isn't needed until Merciless...

Greetings.

P.D.: Sorry for my bad english.

Should this work with Ice Spear?
And why not a lil spell dmg ? its on one hand way from the tree? Maybe just to the elemental dominion, just 5 points.
And i really hate CI.
What about Pain Aatunetment whit similar for this build??

The choice between a wand and a dagger early on really falls into the "pick whatever gives you the most" category.

Some of your questions (regarding spell damage and blast radius) were answered and updated before you even posted - please try to make sure you didn't miss something while reading.

I'm investing time in writing this guide, and being sure not to ask a question whose answer lies within the two first posts, is the most basic form of courtesy towards me and everyone who comes to read this thread.

Now i'll consider adding a "F.A.Q" section, hoping that helps.

Added a lot more info to the "Advanced section", be sure to check it out !

Is this viable as 1st nemesis character or should I make something else?
I got to lvl 72 in onslaught on my witch before the release of 1.0.0 but I struggled hard without any gear and totems was boring and I really like discharge.
Should I go for this or should I go for something safer.My scion croaked at lvl 39 at dominus and I don't know what to go for.
Sry if this is off-topic or was answered before just didn't got the time to read all the replies.

Hi guys, I have one question for new player. Is it this skill tree playable as a Shadow? And if yes, then will be there any differences in play-stile? And witch pathway is more suitable for it - shadow or Witch?

Hi,
first I want to thank you for the guide.
I am rather new to PoE, I followed the build with some minor details, I am not on Merciless (Domination) but I doubt I`ll get further. Reason for this is my very low survability. I failed to find good ES armors so far, and my rezists are pretty crappy also. The second quest boss - Hailrake from Mercy Mission - 2 shots from range / 2 shots from melee.
In terms of items I have a 5 sockets (2l + 3l) Voll Protector, and Eye of Chayula - this was my first big investement in PoE, I keeped getting stunned by ranged mobs in Cruel so I buyed it. The armor I found myself and the proceeded to waste all my orbs in trying to make it a 5 socket and a 5L. And failed.

So finally my question. I am lv 57 (530 IS DPS). I mainly use Ice Spear + LMP + FC. What should I be doing next? Try farming Cruel A3? How important are rezists from here on, because I don`t see myself getting a lot more very soon.
