What do you guys suggest i start upgrading first?

use life leech instead of life gain on hit, its much beter with this build.

You should get more life on belt,rings and armor the rest seems okay

This is my Witch build:

Shave off 20 points

I know I know, before you yell at me, I know that build is with 120 points! It's because I can't deicide what to get. So can you guys help me shave off 20 points or so? Do I drop hp? Attack speed? Elemental dmg? (and Im staying Witch cause of the sexy voice)

Hey Victor,

I'd like to say thanks for the AWESOME build. This is my third character into merciless, and the first one that actually feels like its going to work and be fun in the long run given my lack of great gear.

One question/comment: I'd like to hear your rationale for why you focus on all three armor types in your passive tree. You do the nodes with armor/eshield bonuses - is that just to get up to Body and Soul, or do you think the eshield bonus is worth it? Also, you go for Iron reflexes. At first glance this seems counter-intuitive to me, since you have very little eshield or evasion rating on your gear to get buffed anyways.

Thanks for the tips!

I got a question.
I'm not level 58 yet so I can't be searching for that same sword type.
Which type should I look for if I want to try roll my own?

I was thinking Graceful Sword or Cutlass but I'm not 100% sure.

Hey, i played your build until LvL 65 on HC and i died at Vaal (Merciless). How you handle meele fights you can't win? Don't know how i can play your build on HC. Do you have any advice for me?

I'm not sure if it's been talked about, but I'm also really liking the look of Leather and Steel (24% Evasion and Armor), because it double applies onto Evasion Rating, and around 70% of my armor is Iron Reflexes. It's only a very small branch away from the main build.

Also giving very serious consideration to dropping the Chaos Resist nodes, until I can pick up some more CR off of gear. They only work out to be around 5% Chaos Reduction each, and while Chaos is extremely dangerous, I'm not sure it's better than the alternatives. Until I can raise my CR to the point where they scale up, that is.

Another question crossing my mind:
Have you tried out to use Shield instead of DW at some point? With the right one you can get like 300-400 more Armour/Evasion + the defensive Stats on it. Seem to be pretty good if you do difficult Maps/Areas.
Or does it drop your DPS to hard in the end?

Any experience with it?

You loose roughly half your dps. Not worth in my opinion. If you need the defenses of a shield with this build, then you have neglected your defense on the way.

Hello dears,

This may Not be the correct thread for my request but i would be happy to buy your Old templar elemental stuff for my lev 39 guy.

Awaiting your PM ;-)

I have sad info for you. Leather and Steel (24% Evasion and Armor) don't applies 2 times. It applie only to armor or evasion.
