Hello guys.

I've been slacking quite a lot with this guide since 1.0. The reason is i have started playing on domination and the time to play a new build has come. Still, i have been getting a lot of requests to update the guide so that is what i will do today.

I have just been tinkering a bit with this new skill tree and thus far i have come up with a new version that i think is it.

Full build (lvl 96), bandit reward: +40 mana chosen

Changes to the build is that we are no longer using 4 auras. Clarity is the most important, followed by discipline then purity, and grace has never been very important. I recommend to use just two auras, Clarity and discipline. It is now easier for us to maintain mana costs since we are reserving less of our pool and gain more regen from clarity when using inner force and influence.

My witch is using below build right now at level 88 (techincally level 89 had i chosen mana as bandit reward as i should have). Notice i have the "Throatseeker" crit multiplier circle chosen, i can do that because my chest refuses to become 6-linked, even after 4k fusing... If i had a 6 link i would have been using those 5 points on mana regen/pool instead to maintain the increased mana cost. Also notice i have taken no +30 Str nodes, and only one +30 dex node. That is because i have the rest on my gear, and you may need to adjust until you can find gear to cover that.

My level 89 build

Above build matches my gear:

I still use 4 auras in my gems, it's just the good old pre-1.0 gear.

33.2% Crit chance (before critical weakness)
217.5 Mana/sec
6844 Energy shield

About maxed resistances (lack a few lightning since no longer using purity but the same old gear)

As you may notice there are some free sockets to use in the gear. In my head i am no longer using purity, and because of that, i have one socket left. That socket could for example be used for empower, depending on how your mana pool handles the increased cost. It should be very possible to run empower on those two auras now that we only have to use two auras. Another possibility is to run purity when you have a large mana pool, but it will reserve almost the entire pool which is not recommended since you probably have slightly less mana regen than it takes to cast nonstop with arctic armour on.

Because of not using grace/haste in my setup anymore, i have the entire 4-linked gloves open for any use. There i would suggest some sort of "Cast when damage taken" combination to save you if you should get caught. I have not tested that yet, but i imagine there are some very defensive things you could use, for example decoy totem if that can be triggered could probably be a life saver.

I am also using Reduced Duration with Lightning Warp now, a sick combo.


I will look into editing the guide now..

EDIT: Actually i will probably not update the guide right now. I want to test out what things work well with cast when damage taken first. That i will do on my new witch in domination. Hope this helps thus far. Updated intro so others may find this post in case they want to see changes.
