Hi there !

For beginning, thanks a lot to Shibloble for his amazing guide and all the people who contribute to improve it : All this informations/advice helped me and still help me a lot with my witch.

One thing i haven't found : What is the best choice for the bandit quest reward's please ? I was thinking to take +8% to all elemental resistances for normal and + 1 passive skill point for cruel and merciless.

Ty in advance, and srry for my horrible english expression.

nice, but how can you leech ES during battle?
I have a 5L only, but have to spend 2 sockets for life & mana leech. Poor DPS of course

I´ve tried a lot of gem setups for my FP, and I think that Power Charge on Critical is something of a hidden treasure :)
It seems like a drop in DPS compared to, say, Added Lightning Damage at first, but once you start to get power charges the DPS increases a lot. Plus, it´s not only for FP but all your spells will benefit from the boosted crit chance. I liked this setup so much that I actually respecced into getting another Power Charge from the skill tree.

Another great benefit is that the power charges allows you to spam Cold Snap. Couple that with an Elemental Equibrillium for instant freezing of whole rooms.



It goes like this: Frostbite a group of mobs. Coldsnap (usually everything freezes). Spam FP into the frozen mobs, and charge up power charges. When they unfreeze you usually have 4 Power Charges (=4 instant Cold Snaps) and just freezes them all again. Repeat and loot. The only problem is that Cold Snap becomes rather nukey and somtimes one-shots and shatter the mob, wich results in EE not proccing. I´ve countered this somewhat with Increased Area of Effect on Cold Snap.

TL;DR
Give Power Charge on Critical a chance in your FP setup. It´s awsome.
