I've been using ele proliferation and its been working out very well from what I can tell. I'm still curious how much better chain may be, if at all however. I haven't seen anyone say that it is definitively better though, so for now I'll be cheap and use it. :p

I decided not to use Chain for my arc after having this problem.
I gave my Spectres chain+LMP making them shoot 5 chaining fireballs, its quite fantastic.

For arc i just use faster casting and lightning penetration, its a lot cheaper.

I have a question, should we be getting the passive just beyond Static Blows as well? The one that grants a 10% bonus to shock chance?

anyone know why we don't get this? I feel like my question was unfortunately passed over :-/

prolly u can get that if u have 1 point left, but 10% is not much, since ur arc should have 4 chains and u spam with it.

Thank you Voidmoon for sharing this witch build. I am now level 51 in act 3 cruel, and I gotta say, if you have the required gems and items, and a bit of micro you will hardly die/won't die with this build.
This is a little update and a few opinions on the build.
-As I went through normal, hp nodes don't seem to be that necessary until you hit cruel. I would rather focus on the mana regen nodes and minions nodes, which are more helpful than having hp but low mana.
-For the gear, I was lucky to have a 4L +1 minion helmet and the bones of Ullr unique boot, also I got Chain, Greater Multiple Projectiles on my Spectre so I pretty much roll face through most of the maps.
-If you have a secondary slot in the GMP item that you put in, I advice you to drop in an Ice spell for slow/freeze, this helped my life a few times due to fast magic mobs.


+ A couple of tips for people who have trouble with certain mobs/bosses.
- Don't get impatient, try to hide while casting your spell totem until the mobs/boss is dead or low enough for you to finish. If it is too dangerous don't try to run out and summon Zombies, that would risk being hit and kill in 1-2 hits.
- Get Prismatic rings with +mana and Mana regen. Really help out because chain+Arc is very costly.
- For bosses:
-Merviel (or whatever she's called): try to hide behind walls and summon totem at the corner of the wall, never stay in the open for her ice spear and grasp will kill you in 2-3 hits( you get frozen quite often)
-Vaal: Drop a few traps before he spawn, then RUN AROUND AND NEVER STAND STILL!!! You don't have to even hit him once, as long as you have your spell totem do the work. When he spawns those ancient artifacts thingy, make them into Spectre, they are very powerful. Watch out for the falling rocks, just keep running. Speed flask + speed boots help.
-Piety: A pain in the ass, but doable. Never attack her with your chain!!! Focus on her portals instead, summon your totem behind the pillars. You should focus the fire portal first, leave the ice alone if you want. Don't try to hit her, let your minions do all the damage, HIDING IS YOUR PRIORITY.

If you do all this you should be fine, bosses really require you to use some skill, while most of the time you just being lazy anyway. Good luck with your adventures :))
