So how do life witch-builds usually manage with armor?

MoM+AA+Block+CWDT for me. Lvl91 ambush fireballer.

Figure I'd post it here since I got a little help in this thread when I was starting - I killed Atziri as a fireballer last night. Viva el fireball!

Hey @J0zef!
Can you give me a link to your actual skill tree please?

And if i use Armour and ES as defences, and use life leech too, taking the Ghost Reaver keystone is a good idea?

I'd love to see your passives too, I'm a fireball witch level 58 and I'm aiming for Atziri, but I don't know if spending 17 points to go to MoM, looking at your tree would help me a lot.

Updated/changed the gem setup to include echo gem.

Quite curious about the new skill tree. Trap/FB lvl 77 on standard.

I went and made this passive tree.

I don't know if it has enough life or not. Mana regeneration seems more common and more spread out. The whole thing feels more spread out. Cast speed is more frequent while damage nodes seem higher. Theres more stuff for ES but it mostly looks like %s, so CI may stay requiring the right items.

After playing around with the new tree for some of my builds it looks like there isn't much difference for life builds as the life nodes nerf is made up by the higher life-per-level (actually most of my builds have slightly more life now).
The big question is how much mana/manareg is required as the mana costs for skills (all? only some?) will be lowered in the expansion.
Here is my first draft of a life based tree (which might change quite a bit after testing):

Thanks for updating the build.

Do you think Fire Walker isn't worth it anymore ?
