Hey guys if I put Added Lightning Damage on FP and it crits will stack Shock?

Ta
Did you know level 91 is the halfway point to level 100? This means that a softcore character dying ONCE at level 85+ can lose many days of progress.
How about artic breath?
I'm actually using ice spear with lmp, crit dmg and chain as my main dmg, cause i dont like fp... but i tried artic breath with the same gems and seems to do a lot of dmg (in my case not so much cause it's underleveled)
Hai!

I am currently level 31 and wonder what i should prioritise linking with freezing pulse. Should i use FP with increased critical dmg and lmp or should i change one support for faster projectiles or even added cold damage?

Great guide btw, keep up the good work!

Isn't going to be a "DO THIS AND THIS THEN THIS AFTERWARDS THIS".

It will be more of a guide to making a build that could work. Such as notable passives, nodes that are traps, whether or not a witch will work out for your planned build. Thing like that.

I thought it was a cool spell, but I never see it mentioned.. What is peoples thoughts on Arctic Breath? Maybe not as a primary spell, but coupled with GMP and a spell totem? Why does nobody ever seem to list it as worth while spell?


Arctic breath is a GOOD spell, sure. But it's not a GREAT spell. FP, Cold Snap, Ice nova, Ice spear... all of those out class Arctic breath. That being said, if you want, you can run arctic breath if you wish to do so.

With FP, at lower levels (assuming you are just starting and don't have any items)

LMP/GMP > Faster projectiles > cold pen > added chaos/lightning damage. However, sometimes you can't run these due to the additional mana cost, it's all up to you.

2 ways you can shock.

a) if your crit causes 2% of the enemies life in lightning damage. (not counting ice damage)
b) take static blow, 10% chance to shock on any lightning damage

Hello lads, after some tweaking I made my own version of this build.

I'm running main [FP, Faster Cast, Added Lightning Dammage, Faster Projectiles] and will be adding more projectiles rune.
Secondary: [Frost nova, Added Lightning Dammage, Faster Casting, Increased Critical Strikes.]
Defense: [Spell Totem, Summon Skeletons, Blind] The blind rune is a test dunno if it works :)

The build:

I'm not a big fan of Energy shield, considering I started at the witch tree perhaps Templar was best. But as you can see I did not go for the Templar notes despite them being so strong.

Please give me feedback on what you think :)

---- @K4elan

I would take lower route via the 3 life nodes when you go to left from with the witch. Gives you access to some all resist node if you need it :)


You can't give up ES if you don't have enough life to support it. Meaning you WILL have to go into the TEMPLAR tree, and mostly likely even the MARAUDER tree. The only reason why pure ES builds work is because of how many ES nodes are taken, and how much more damage ES reduces compared to health.

Your skeletotem may save your life a ton, but when you get the enemies that can pierce or have flicker strike, your done.


Thank you for pointing that out, I'm currently level 57 and notice that mana regeneration is becoming a problem, my plan was to take as many life nodes as possible but the value of energy shield can not be overlooked. I tried to incorporate some of the templar notes in my new build.

Tell me what you think :)
