What kind of gear i need for this biuld?
I mean which stats and how many gems.

Umm read the guide dude?... Everything from gear to stats are there including screenshots and links to gear he's using.

yeah, i saw this screens but its gear for 3rd difficult. What about normal..

Does anyone have any comments about the difference between Byrr's build here and Invalesco's build here?http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/74774/page/1

The obvious differences is that Byrr heads south towards Duelist Territory for armor/hp nodes while Invalesco heads north through Witch Territory and then Templar.

I'm not gifted enough to really decipher the difference between the two, and I'm at the ~level 30 crossroads where I need to choose between the paths.

Any suggestions/ideas or feedback from someone who knows more about both?

I'd say Byrr's version will have more survivability, and eventually DPS, through Iron Will and stacking strength.

I was rolling EK EB as a witch, with something similar to Invalesco's build here. Unfortunately I skimped on HP even more, and went for more crit in my build, thinking I could get away with kiting around like I did in CB. This seems to be a lot harder now, there are many fast mobs which will destroy you if you don't have a good HP pool.

Currently in the process of releveling a new witch (I am all about dem witches) a bit closer to the idea Byrr's build. I'll be updating my old EK EB witch guide or making a new when I get through to maps. :)

pretty good stuff, I learned how to build a proper EB build from this thread.

Made my EB/iron will/life dual ice spear totem/curse build with reference to this.

It is a physical spell
What this means is that EK's DPS is affected by:
- %Increased Physical damage mods on non-weapon gear

However, it seems this spell goes unaffected by the "x% Increased Physical Damage" found on belts.

How are you using bear trap with 121 Dex? There are not a lot of dex nodes possible to pick up with this path and I am having trouble keeping my dex high enough to use bear trap. Level 16 bear trap costs 130 Dex and I don't even know how you would use level 20 bear trap.

There is always gear.

It should. It's affected by Magnate Studded Belt. Not sure if it's affected by Rustic belt but I imagine it should too

At which level can you use EK with the said support gems ? And how is the mana management ?

I am level 46 atm and EK costs way too much mana so i can't use it at the moment. Pretty sad that this is also a late game build because the earlier lvls weren't that fun. Do you have to use mana flaks often in higher lvls with EK ? Because i don't think clarity is enough to compensate the mana costs of EK.

I have not finished the game in Softcore yet , currently am in act 2 cruel.
However i was thinking of going straight for a hardcore character and this build seems really interesting.
Would you guys say that this is a viable build for a first HC character?
Also , is it worth going into HC without having finished the game in merciless on SC?

Cheers
