Hi there, Thank you so much for the guide. I'm new to PoE and at first everything was overwhelming.

Where do I buy Charged Dash and Temporal Chains? In the Wiki it says that the item will be unlocked for purchase after certain Act 3 quest, however it's not available for the Witch class?

Could you please explain how to obtain those two gems? thanks

edit: Also it's a really good idea to use the new "War Banner" skill gem when you start leveling. You can just leave it at level 1 for the 40% accuracy boost to help your minions hit more often early game.

Awesome suggestion! The Witch can't get it (SSF) until Siosa in Act 3, but it's perfect for our build. Might be something to incorporate for the future...maybe with CwDT? :)

Thanks for the message! I hope you like the build.

one question: what are good and affordable uniques for this build, are there even some?
I could trade one or two for my brother.

*edit* another thing: would it be possible that you add all that good comments and suggestions to the first mainpage?

Hi there! I'm a speech-language pathologist who works with individuals with TBI (traumatic brain injury) and post-concussion syndrome. I just wanted to say I find this guide awesome and super well suited for people who struggle with the aspects of cognition affected by the injury.

For example, the way the build focuses on slowing enemies down helps a lot for people with impaired attention and/or reaction times. This aspect of cognition is very vulnerable to impairment following a TBI. It also results in short-term memory problems (because you can't remember what you didn't notice) so having slowed combat and only really two buttons to worry about (charged dash and convocation) makes combat a lot more manageable and accessible. As well, people who have problems with inhibition sometimes experience things "piling up" in their short term memory, and slowing combat gives these brains time to filter out the irrelevant or no-longer-relevant details. A process called "alternating attention", which is basically how quickly and effectively you can focus on one thing and then switch gears to another thing, is also very vulnerable to impairment after brain injury. The difference in speed of switching may only be an increase of milliseconds but that can have drastic effects on people's performance on things like video games - again, slowing combat and keeping the player's role relatively simple helps a ton here.

Executive functioning (problem solving and planning, basically) is also frequently impaired. The way you structure the guide, with literal and step-by-step instructions that aren't too wordy, hyperlinking all of the relevant gems(!!!!), and provide examples of different choices to make and the pros and cons of each, to just name a few of the things you do, are extremely beneficial to people who have trouble in a game that is as planning-intensive (so many passive points, so few refunds!) and decision-intensive (so much gear drops and it's hard to know what's useful and what isn't!)

And you accomplish all of this with a build that can clear all content.

All in all, I think you're making Path of Exile not only more accessible to people with disabilities, but more inclusive. As someome who plays video games as a hobby and professionally helps people with disabilities, it is disheartening for me to see how frequently developers and gaming communities fail to make the art of video games accessible. I hope you inspire developers and players to make more guides like this for their own games or builds.

P.S. I'm using your build this league and I gotta say it's pr sweet. I've been leveling with summoning skeletons + zombies. I've noticed that the zombies will switch targets to whatever target is closest to where I'm summoning the skeletons. I feel like a quarterback throwing zombie footballs lol.

I'm finally getting a start on my Necro! I ended up starting the league with a different build to play together with my husband, ironically enough because this build is so awesome for solo play and I wanted to save it for solo play XD

I'm making a couple changes this time around compared to last league for me. One is that I will have access to a Violent Dead jewel as soon as I unlock a jewel node. My other character took one as the Act 5 quest reward, which means when this character gets to Act 5, she'll have two of them :D

The other changes I'm trying are using Summon Raging Spirit and Summon Skeletons, both for the initial corpses I need to create my Zombies and also for a little assistance for my Zombies until they get beefier. I don't foresee that taking very long, though.

Hope everyone's enjoying the league!

since I don't have a phone (well not one that can game lol) I decided to ditch Diablo and give this a go and necromancer was always my go to and this helped me feel really at home.

Not to mention fate being really kind to me first gem I had drop that can go into the skill tree was a Violent Dead honestly could not believe my luck. Definitely picked the right build lol.
