Hmm hard to say, got an Eternal, 354dps 1h Sword and almost perfect Alphas Howl (can be seen in media), also two Empower gems. I'd say those are the best drops so far, all from solo Lunaris.
Currently leveling my new witch, my Lv86 already has a too high drop penalty.

Any idear how much push my damage?

Get rid of the Doom Cast node and take the 12% Spell Dmg on Witch Starter. You should also respec Inner Force for now, then you'll be able to pick up the 3x 8% Spell Dmg nodes and Blast Radius.

Weapon can get an ugrade too. You should aim for something with 60+ Spell Dmg, 20+ Light Dmg, 15+ Cast Spd and crit mods.

Last but not least, maxing gems will help a lot. You should be able to get Piety down within 1-2 minutes.

Hey, I have a few questions to see how I am progressing on this build.







I know the belt is really, really terrible. I am replacing that soon. Merciless monsters take a lot of my hp fast if I don't at least kite a little bit (assuming they get through the ES).

I am still saving up for Anvil and possibly Lori's Lantern, although I will probably just use some decently rolled rare rings. Eventually I'll probably just drop/buy a decent Saintly Chainmail, but I think my current chest piece works okay for now. The wand is sort of shit because of the lack of cast speed, but it seems to work for now. I have a 3L Moonsorrow.

Also, regarding the Passive Tree, I thought about getting Static Blows anyway (my guildmates insist that it will be extremely useful in maps due to the damage buff from shocked). I am not sure how much I will follow the guide in terms of the Low Life (even though it's essential). I probably won't buy Pain Attunement. To be honest, this build seems entirely based around Aegis Aurora, and I kind of doubt whether or not my character will be complete shit in Act 3/Merciless content and maps. There's no way I can afford the shield. How survivable would I be in end-game content (read: maps) if I stuck completely (or almost completely, assuming I spend a few points to get to Static Blow) with DC shield + life leech + Ghost Reaver?

Sorry for all the questions. This is my first character.

No need to be sorry for questions, that's what i made a guide for ;)

You are right, this build is built completely around Aegis and requires one to work as intended. I tried to make a life based version of this, but you just won't be able to pick up a map-viable amount of life nodes. I'd rather suggest you to go CI, but that again requires good Ar/Es gear which will probably cost as much as an Aegis.


Note that shock usually needs you to crit, but you couldn't pick up any crit nodes up until 85+. You can however shock without crit by using Conductivity.
Link Storm Call with Lightning Penetration - Iron Will - Life Leech - Elemental Proliferation (+Increased Aoe/Concentrated Effect if you have a 5l/6l) and Tempest Shield with Reduced Mana and Life Leech. Take out Cast when Stunned and replace if with Life Leech in your Molten Shell chain. You'll also have to give up one aura, it's really hard since this builds needs all three auras but you have to, so give up Determination.

Both Daresso's Courage and Lori's Lantern won't be a good choice if you don't use low life. Get a Rathpith Globe as shield and some good resistance rings. The other gear needs a good amount of armour and high ES, chaos res is not needed at all.

All in all, this could work but it surely won't be as strong as the initial Aegis build. And gearing up won't be really cheap either, so you might better just farm Lunaris until you can afford Aegis.

Edit: This whole thing about shock made me think about it twice, i'll try around some variations and will update the tree, if it becomes a viable choice.

How come you don't use Clarity? I'm doing that right now for leveling, and it seems to do just fine at replenishing my mana fast enough so I can continuously Storm Call spam without drinking mana flasks.

I do use Clarity ;)

Reviewed some suggested improvements, and did according changes to the final passive tree. Thanks to everyone!

Edit: In particular the changes are Inner Force switched for Influence, and Reduced Crit Dmg Taken switched for Static Blows. Comparing Armour with Granite Flasks between IF and Influence, the ladder one provided ~800 more Armour and also ~50 ES and ~2 Mana Regen.

I found an exalted orb yesterday with the Witch.. which gives me 1/8 exalted needed for Aegis shield lol!

Did you already have the shield before planning this build?

I don't have Rainbow stride boots and am using the Wanderlust wool shoes still at lvl 53 (lol)

Should I keep saving for the shield or just buy the Rainbowstrides which are 1 exalted...


My Gear Lvl 54


Also I tried soloing Solaris lvl 2 Cruel, but I was getting hit hard... what should I change in my gear? Thanks!
