EYESTORM's No. 1 [EB-MOM-AA-BLOCK-WITCH] build. {video} KILL 2 piety in 7seconds, END GAME CASTER
(UPDATED MARCH 26, 2014 2:00pm)
(latest Version) WELCOME TO MY EB-MOM-AA-BLOCK WITCH GUIDE Hi, I've been experimenting with this build for ages. I've been in to the 30k armor for this build and more. And I found this to be the most effective build-item combination for incinerate. Enjoy and try to be the most powerful spell caster. note: although without 6-link, or corrupted items (in my items) you would still reach end game maps, and kill lvl 71 piety with ease. and do a lot of 70+ maps and survive lvl78 maps. Enjoy! TABLE OF CONTENTS: I. What to Expect II. Videos III. Level 86 skill tree build IV. Important Passive nodes V. Important gems VI. Important items VII. Game play (what's special in this build) VIII. Weakness IX. My Items X. Recommendation XI. How to play I. WHAT TO EXPECT:
Spoiler
1. DPS: 30,000 - 50,000 PURE DPS (unlike added lightning damage builds which do not shock bosses due to their high Life)
2. Reach and survive END game maps. Able to solo end game maps. maps: a. can solo face-tank 66-73 map and 76 map crematorium(except torture chamber, this one's pretty hardcore,) Haven't tried lvl 74 dominus map, and the rest with this build. b. Able to survive in parties up to level 78 maps. 3. Cheap items, although can boost your damage alot if you have the GOLD. II. VIDEOS 1. level 71 Double Piety map: http://www.twitch.tv/jeromeladan/c/3949812 2. level 72 jungle valley map: http://www.twitch.tv/jeromeladan/c/3949977 3. level 73 Canyon map: http://www.twitch.tv/jeromeladan/c/3949914 III. lEVEL (86) SKILL TREE BUILD: The Best incinerate build (MOM-EB-AA-BLOCK Witch) IV. IMPORTANT PASSIVE NODES:
Spoiler
1. Eldritch Battery (converts all energy shield to mana)
2. Mind Over Matter (MOM) (When hit, 30% of damage is taken from mana before life) 3. Iron Reflex (Converts all evasion to armor) <although thinking if I would remove this one> 4. Elemental Adapatation (2% max resistance) 5. 8% block from passive nodes (more if not using old saffell's frame) 6. Mana regeneration (your choice, although my 6-link incinerate can last 30-40 seconds without leeching from any monsters) V. IMPORTANT GEMS:
Spoiler
1. Incinerate> Life leech> mana leech> Greater Multiple Projectiles (GMP) > Added Chaos > Faster Casting
2. Arctic Armour (level 20) 3. Purity of Fire, Purity of Lightning, Clarity 4. TEMPEST SHIELD (with life leech gem, sweet) 5. Vaal Molten shell (w/ lifeleech, increase duration) for more survivability 6. Whirling blades? (i prefer this one) VI. IMPORTANT ITEMS (unique)
Spoiler
1. Cybil's Paw (+8 life gain on each enemy hit by your spells)
2. Alpha's Howl (for purity gems) 3. Infernal Mantle (chaos damage is sweet) 4-6. Saffell's Frame, Stone of lazhwar, conjurer boots (FOR SPELL BLOCK PURPOSES) VII. WHAT'S SPECIAL IN THIS BUILD?
Spoiler
1. Max block (75% spell block)
2. MOM 3. Arctic Armour 4. high Dps and fast life and mana leech 5. 88% fire and lightning resistance, 82% cold resistance 6. mini-aegis aurora (with tempest shield +lifesteal) (physical damage is countered by MOM + arctic armor, Spell damage is countered by Block + MOM, + purity auras) VIII. WEAKNESS
Spoiler
1. Low life, (around 2-3k only) but can survive alot lols,
2. Low armor (exchanging it with block nodes, anyway, armor is countered by arctic armour +MOM) 3. CHAOS (this is the WORST enemy for this build, anyway can put alot of chaos resistance equips) IX. MY ITEMS:
Spoiler
X. RECOMMENDATION:
Spoiler
I wouldn't recommend changing the nodes. You could lessen the life nodes for block nodes if you are using the new saffell's frame.
I would also recommend replacing the saffell's frame with other shield, and put more block nodes. One that would block physical and spell. with your tempest shield (w/lifesteal) it would be hard to kill you, coz you lifesteal when you block, like a mini aegis aurora. XI. HOW TO PLAY First, cast purity of lightning and purity of fire auras. Then cast clarity, then cast Tempest Shield. Enter in a map then cast arctic armour. Use whirling blades to get to the place you want. Cast incinerate and wait for them to die. You can tank almost any kind of damage, even when there are poison gas around you. But if you run out of mobs to leech life from, you will die. So get out in the range of the poison gas using whirling blades. Then cast incinerate again. That's how easy it is to play this build. Prepare flask with removes bleeding to counter corrupting blood. If you have any question feel free to post in this thread. Last edited by jeromeladan#4070 on Mar 26, 2014, 12:07:34 AM

Interesting build and looks quite tanky but im not a fan of incinerate. Does this build work with some other skill as the main spell.

So here's an idea: skip MOM and IR and use Cloak of Defiance instead. It's simply too point inefficient to get them I think, and it's 10% more damage reduction compared to the passive, since you aren't using grace anyway, IR is pretty meh.
This is what I drawn up: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMA37BXK4IQB2MHpXNTAuPAVEmyeQMsnAj0MYhVrkkbRKuvt4-mh2UtH5wtbRkfAsHzNsXmfKKjgh7YJDbYhcV_xtsLpwjvhX7iHNwnqRGWL524k49GiBsrDZMnLUdabQ5IcLsW8-vuDH0dFNDQ7FXcV1BCJDydqtkTJjx6qhB_-tJMNc9lHpSfe4w2p1xirC9vmuDGnnB9Fy826SjFVcasP3i6pLFzs0lR1p1FnamVZOckquNq874Wb-WO8GsaMlXWGYUV51FggKQabNVP893edw== The idea here is to use the point we save from skipping IR and MOM to accomplish a few things: - Get enough block chance so that we reach max spell block with rathpith's globe instead of saffelll, this way we can block attacks 56% of the time as well, and we get a significant boost in damage - Get 80% increased life point - More cast speed and damages to compensate for the loss of Infernal Mantle I think overall this build should be way more tanky than the old one, and should do more damage due to rathpith's globe, more cast speed, and more damage nodes Last edited by petercai#7135 on Mar 26, 2014, 1:09:56 AM

" Skipping Mom won't do any good. 30% versus 10% is quite big. Minus the damage you get from INFERNAL MANTLE, is a big no for an END GAME CASTER INCINERATE. you may use 5-10 skill points or even spend 15 skill points for damage nodes, still you won't reach the added DAMAGE you get from infernal mantle. (see damage conversion specially for converted chaos damage) The idea of IR is not to get one, or two, or three hits from physical damage monsters. This will let incinerate leech life from enemies. and while getting more block chance, (more waste of skill points) you won't be able to get Mana regeneration nodes and your skill build won't get the increase projectile speed which is a big loss for incinerate. Your skill build won't also be able to sustain a level 18 arctic armour, what more if level 20 + inner force buff to buff the Arctic Armour (but also increases the mana needed to sustain) And your wrong in being more tanky for your skill nodes. I already tested that build. Saffell will able you to get 88% fire and lightning resistance. But if you use rathpith's globe, you will be having trouble in the skill nodes due to lack of skill points and 56% chance to block is quite low dude. You don't need to block physical attacks because Mom+AA is enough so that it won't kill you. unless your skill build will let witch have 5k HP, then maybe that could work. THanks for the comment. Gonna try the Rathpith some time after I reach 95+ so the block nodes won't affect any of the important nodes. again 10% from Cloak of Defiance is too low compared to the passive of 30%. |

" Yes, but only for fire spells. I'm thinking of trying this build for FIREBALL. But you won't be able to make use of the Cybil's paw +8 life gain for each enemy hit by spell. And other spells need CRITICAL for them to have good DPS. Only incinerate (spell) can reach high DPS without critical. And bump for @petercai 56% block, will again reduce the spell damage of incinerate due to the effect of Cybil's paw. More block = more spell damage. so overall, using that skill tree and item build will only increase your life a little and block physical damage. But overall it will decrease the incinerate damage by almost 1k in tooltip (around 20K DPS if computed) and will decrease your max resistance, and will not be able to sustain the arctic armour. Thanks for the comment though. |

Bump.

" The cloak actually provides MOM +10%, so it's 40% in total, which is why it's way more tanky. The loss of +5 max resist from saffell is huge, that's true, but I think the extra 10% from cloak + health nodes made up for it. The loss of projectile speed is huge, but that can be compensated from the gear. Here's an updated version that accounts for more mana regen. 120% is more than enough to run lvl 20 AA, heck I ran a summoner with 100% regen and she can sustain lvl 22 aa. Plus, there's no reason to walk when we have access to lightning warp, which means sustaining AA is not particularly hard. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMA37BXK4IQB2MHpXNTAuPAVEmyeQMsnAj0MYhVrkkbRKuvt4-mh2UtH5wtbRkfAsHzNsWio4Ie2CQ22H_G2wunCCqNHNwnqS-duJOPRpeFkyctR1ptFvPr7gx9HRTQ0OxV3FdQQiQ8Jjx6qhB_-tJMNZuhz2UelJ97jDanXJrgxp5mnnB9Fy826SjFZ71Vxqw_eLpVS3OzSVFFncAaqZVk5ySq42rzvu5vFm8mlfBrkFUaMlXWGYUV56eEUWCApBps1U8aOPPd3nc= Side note: A rare wand with cast speed and projectile speed might be better than cybil's paw I think.
