I personaly am liking Arc+Elemental Proliferation but I'm only 43 - I tried Chain, but had to put 20 Dex on to use it, and had to spend 30 more mana per cast.

I totally agree, elemental proliferation is awesome. You are geting a big amount of shock Debuffs for all enemys close together.

Not having played this setup before and just starting to purchase the required skills would you say that elemental proliferation > Chain? From what it seems chain looks like it's simply a mean of spreading shock, but maybe proliferation does it better and cheaper? (In both mana and currency)

Again - I'm no expert at this game, and really have just been following this guide because: It sounded awesome and I love to summon stuff in games like this. Especially this game, its just really really satisfying so far.

Any way - I'm up to level 50 now, and I'm still firmly feeling that Arc+Prolofieration > Arc+Chain

At my level, I still rely on the damage from arc to focus down some of the nastier guys (Like the Gas bomb throwers in the sewers) so having chain make each hit do 50% less damage really hurts on that front.

You also will have to find 20ish DEX from gear or go grab a dex passive node in order to even use chain.

Plus - when I was using chain (early 40s) it didnt feel like I was spreading nearly as fast as I am now with Proliferation.

On a side note - what do any of you think about Elemental Equlibrium? I was kicking around the idea of Running Anger (added fire damage to minions) and then grabing EE - that way I spam the room with Arc and in theory the Monsters take more damage from the minions. Does the monsters having +25% resist to lightneing hurt the chances of SHOCK applying? Or just decrease the damage? I figured, if I'm using conductivity any way it might not be a bad idea - I guess since its only two points, it could be worth it to expirement with it and respec out if its horible.

Saw this figured you all would like it.

Hm my Witch is Lvl 20 now and I still feel like the time I use to (re)summon my Zombies and Skeletons would be the same as just killing the mobs by myself using Spark and Freezing Pulse.
My Zombies keep dying, even with Minion Life and all that stuff, I pretty much permanently resummon them in fight. If I find a spare second I gotta spam Skellies since I don't have a totem for that yet, so I barely attack by myself. If I just ignore summons and attack I feel like it's even faster.

Will that change anytime soon? Will it get better, or will it always stay like this and I'm better off with a DMG Witch build in the end?

So far, the benefit I've seen of using this build is the safety it provides via the meat shield from zombies and especially spelltotem-skelle. It certainly has saved me while soloing, but isn't necessarily "faster" than my cold witch. But I'm still newish, only lvl 50, so who knows. I am enjoying it so far tho.

I suggest to not build 100% step by step this build, of course u can spend some points in hp, then minion explosion, but dont spend ALL your points in HP, give more in minion hp and damage. Im lvl 40, got freezing pulse with lmp, 6 zombies and im fine.


This is my build on lvl 40, im going same way, but i changed order in passives so is more farm friendly.

I dunno, I followed this guide pretty much to the letter and I feel pretty comfortable at lvl 50, but I like the way your bbuild looks as well. Hmmm..

I modified to suite my tastes and planning on remaking for HC what do you think?



Still undergeared and i dont have half skills so far

Hey void u should like link ur items with ur gems like others do in their builds.

Should I go for this build or a cold crit one for solo farming?

Which is more suited for solo and which is more viable in groups?
