Just wanted to, again, thank you for creating this guide, Crackmonster.

Currently level 61, farming fellshrine in merc (lvl60) and its a breeze. So much so that I can 2x andvarius it up and still not worry about much. My biggest concern now is finding a decent wand + energy shield so I can replace my 5L Searing Touch (I already have a 5L 400-500 es chest).

At level 61, my passive tree looks like: (I deviated very slightly)

My IIQ: 46%
My IIR: 191%

Current Tooltip DPS on Fireball: 1124 (not the best, but I manage).
22% Chance, 195% Multiplier, Burning increase: 130%.

I need to focus on getting those higher, but I think thats where the wand+shield will come in handy. I run the 3 curses that you suggest and its quite fun (2 with my andvars - I don't seem to need temporal chains just yet).

My Farming Gear @Lvl 61

My Flasks that I run with (I just found a ruby, didn't put it in yet

- I am really happy about that diamond flask. It works wonders :)

I'm just saying. At level 61 and Fellshrine appears too easy for me, even running with 2 andvars. Pretty impressive.

I intend to resocket my Circlet and add Reduced Mana + Clarity + Discipline + Haste. Not sure what else just yet. I may add some zombies/skeletons/spectres to be my meatshield.

While this build is great, I have also thought about respec'ing into a farmer build, as I'd really like to 6L and add item quantity to the last slot (though that doesn't work with Damage over time attacks like what burning does, if I recall correctly), though I think I will rock out more with this build as it is pretty fun ;)

Heya, first of all, love your build. Had been using it for my first witch and have kept up now at level 84. Not to mention this build is actually a lot of fun in PvP too haha

So with the recent discharge hype happening, I got to thinking about this build, the fact that it has CI. For a time, I decided to put in Blood Rage, just for the frenzy charges, and then Discharge, which lets me discharge them. Noticing that I had taken so many AoE nodes to help fireball, these nodes have also made discharge have great AoE too.

So then I thought, why not put in power charge on critical and increased critical damage with the discharge. And I even had a red slot spare, where I decided to slap on Enduring cry.

The result now, is that I have extremely powerful long rage for fireball, but I also constantly have some form of charge, and letting me execute discharge every time.

Here is my current gear.

I am now Level 47 and in Act 3 Cruel and getting kicked around pretty good. I did get lucky and linked all my sockets on my staff. But not sure what skills should be in those sockets.
I am running 3 auras discipline lvl 5, clarity lvl 5 and artic armour lvl 2. This gives me 280 mana reserve of 745 total mana. Any suggestion of what curse I should be using ? Should I back up to Act 2 and level my witch to somewhere in the 50's ? The way I am set up now it does not look as though I can level her in Act 3 cruel.

Is infernal Mantle a bad idea at all ?

I just started this build as one of my first chars. I see ES has gotten a nerf in the newest patch. Is this build still a reasonable choice for a poor player? Would you make any changes?
