[Strongest Solo Variation: Projectile Madness Spectres] LMP/GMP Ice Spear 2x Totem 2x Curse 3x Traps

I rebuild it a bit and i think it's more effective because you really don't need the castspeed!

Ah well my templar died due to desync and dc happened at the same time. Went to bed last night after they announced the maintainance and this morning I was in softcore.

Building a HC dual ice spear witch now with Armor/Life/ES, I believe CI might be too difficult for hardcore, I want to minimize the risk as much as possible.

Can post a build I'm working on at the moment, would be fun if anyone else have any open beta dual totem life based witch builds which you are currently running successfully in HC

Having your totem cast faster almost always equates to more damage than stacking damage. The point of the speed (beyond damage) is to keep mobs perma frozen. It helps you (and your group) live longer. I'm sure that build will do well up to A3 merciless though, then freezing enemies 24/7 becomes paramount

At level 55 now and I got Windscream with almost perfect resist + 4 sockets. Having 3 curses is really nice. In a group with mainly archers I was laying Projectile Weakness first and stuff was usually dying before I even had time to lay totems.

My gear still needs some work and I need to get more ES, but the right things aren't falling I guess. Pretty soon I will switch to CI, dump the couple life nodes I took near the start and grab another set of 30 STR/DEX so I can get rid of the gear which has those stats.

I'm thinking to head down toward Inner Force, get Prestidigitationa and the -Mana cost node.

@hypershatter i'm planning a witch similar tou yours, but with Zealot's Oath and with less Energy Shield Recovery nodes, what do you think? Of course is more gear dependant, but i want to play hc and i think this way i've more chance to not die.

Posting this again because it got drowned / lost in the thread :

(Please note I am referring to the levelling build, lvl 20 or so)
How did you get the "Unnatural Calm" notable (on the far top right edge by itself)? Am I missing something or did you get the 3x int nodes leading to it then refund those passives? Is that allowed? Could someone please explain the rules of refunding points when they are linked in a chain between other nodes? Can you refund a passive even if it will break a chain of passives, or can you only refund a skill on the end of a chain / cluster?

Hello Daegon.

As far as i know, it is not possible to refund points between two nodes. You can refund ending-nodes only. This may be a mistake of the skill-tree flash-plugin.

Regards.

Regarding the sixth gem slot, which would be better? Faster projectiles, increased critical damage, increased critical chance or something else? I currently have is with gmp, faster casting, reduced mana and spell totem.

Hi mate, thanks for the reply :) Yes it must have been a mistake with the plugin - after refreshing the passive tree a few days later, that notable passive wasn't active anymore. Was really confusing at first!

I'd say critical damage, your spears have a 600% increased chance to crit after they travel far enough, so they actually crit pretty often, it would be a decent.

edit: Also I haven't even seen a 5L drop for me yet, I wish I found a 6L :(
