Witch - Slow Mo Zombies! (No Uniques Needed|Relaxed Playstyle|Easy to Gear|Anyone Can Play|All Content)[3.5] - Forum

Wow, I just had this drop earlier and immediately swapped it for my old belt. I had no idea this type of belt combo existed! Did not play abyss. Now I can switch my staff to either a unique or something with more defenses. My health is now 5k and my ES is around 500. Would be great to get myself to 5.5k life though.

Hey onigokko0101! Thanks for suggesting the build / giving this build a try! " onigokko0101 wrote: Hey! So my significant other is new to the game (and im newish) and I linked him your guide because it seemed fun and he wanted to be a summoner! That said im at endgame and hes still leveling, ive also saved up some currency! Is there any good uniques for this build I should look out for? I saw this post on the 3.4 version of the guide but I'm replying in the 3.5 version. I make different threads each league to keep the comments and replies relevant for those that read through them. This build actually isn't really better with Uniques. There are some that are neat, but they don't dramatically improve the build. Here's a list of some that I have personally liked (not all have low requirements for leveling): -Sidhebreath Amulet -Singularity (more slowing) -Bones of Ullr or Alberon's Warpath -The Baron -Severed in Sleep/United in Dream -Mon'tregul's Grasp -The Scourge -Queen's Decree/Queen's Escape -Femurs of the Saints -Dying Breath -Geofri's Legacy Those aren't specific to leveling though. Honestly, the only gear get excited for while leveling are the Wanderlust shoes (with the right links of course). I'm not able to play anywhere near as much as I like, but I'm slowly unlocking some of the new crafting mods and such. Great rares will be much more helpful for this minion build in my opinion. But good question! That's nice of you to share your currency! If my wife played POE, I'd tell her to stick it and play better ;)...just kidding...kinda...maybe...maybe not(?). https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 25, 2018, 3:39:46 AM	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 23, 2018, 5:40:36 PM Quote this Post
" Ramus wrote: I definitely think that part of the issue is the movement skill...Just blew through a t9 map pretty fast with the updated setup. A few of the physical hits are still taking over 50% my hp but im feeling a lot better so far with the extra hp and an instant-flask on standby.

The first playthrough is always slow for Atlas progression and getting that fourth set of Ascendancy points. Hang in there. Progression is slow for everyone the first character of a league. " I have abandoned Minions now...zombies just don't die...Really enjoying myself, thanks again! I feel like a Mom out there, as long as I keep these kids happy, they take GREAT care of me! Ha ha, Awesome. The guide without modifications takes you through all the difficulty increases that the Atlas gives.

" Guru1619 wrote: Been playing it all morning with enough reduction nodes to hit 18% Mana Reserved Reduction. About the only thing I can't do is summon more then 3-4 Skeletons(don't have the Ascendancy 2 Skeleton summon at a time) or to stutter step Charged Dash with out running out of mana though with the Quick Recovery node in the tree it regen is pretty fast so it's not down for long heh. Pretty much just CD around into packs to get our zombies to smack stuff. Vaal Skeletons on Bosses summon the occasional Skele for longer lasting fights or just hold the CD to proc any life on hit you have. Another thing I've noticed is physical damage really hurts. Thinking of grabbing an Armor Flask or a -Phys damage Flask and swapping a health flask for it. Life on Hit really seems to help survive-ability a lot with charged dash since each time it pulses, every enemy hit returns health and with the faster attacks/casting form the minion nodes counting towards us, it can add up quickly. Just an idea for an extra stat or even enchant/craft if you have it! Edit: Forgot to mention, Hatred with the gem reaches to the edge of your screen, so you can Charged Dash through a bunch of stuff and your zombies will come in behind you and be buffed and shatter everything with their slams. Anything not instantly one shot is usually frozen thanks to running them with Ice Bite Support. I'm glad you're finding success with the Mana reservation nodes and survivability! I hope it works really well to the end! It sounds great :). https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 23, 2018, 6:41:24 PM Quote this Post
" rem0nster wrote: Is there any room for an empower gem in the 6l zombie setup? Hey rem0nster!, You could always replace Melee Physical with it, but according to PoB (not sure if it's up to date or correct) even the level 4 Empower does less damage that a 20/0 Melee Physical. Empower level 4 would add 6k life to the zombies, but not increase it's movement speed (not sure why...I think that's wrong). But for the sake of endgame, I'd replace Melee Physical instead of Fortify. Up to you of course :). If you do it, let us know what you think. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 23, 2018, 6:51:28 PM Quote this Post

" Ramus wrote: ...i'm awesome again, after some tweaks. Blowing through T10+ like nothing and at 120 delve now. Glad to hear it! " Maybe I didn't pay attention enough to the guide, but it doesn't make clear what gems are worth 20% on. Check all of your gems on wiki to see what increasing them gives you. The intent of the skill gems being linked is so I don't have to have easily found information taking up my character allotment. I may have the quality of the gems in the guide in the future, but for now I put the quality of gems that are "needed" to be at 20% in the guide. The rest are user preference. If you have the currency though, any build with all their gems at 20% is a big deal. " ...Whew, this turned out to be long but I hope it helps some of you that are entering the end game this league! You gave great advice :). That was a good post! Thanks for all the effort you're putting in. This build as it is can easily clear all aspects of the Atlas. But as some have noticed, that's for my playstyle. And even though 100 people may play the exact same build, it'll play very different for many just based on how people react, what they notice on screen compared to others, what they enjoy/prefer, and the strategies they like. So I really like what you're doing to make this work for you. Not everyone gives a build as much effort as you have. Great job! The more people that give input, the more people are helped. :) https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 23, 2018, 8:06:52 PM Quote this Post
" Guru1619 wrote: Agree with you on the gem quality because that can be really useful depending on the gem. It's on my consideration list for 3.6. " As far as Syndicate goes, I don't mind doing the large forts as I Charged Dash the door down, then Charged dash into the fort and pop Vaal Skeletons in the middle and Charged Dash through the Totems and Syndicate members which generally keeps me alive since I stay moving the whole time. I do the same. I Leroy Jenkins everything. " ...Forgot that Health flasks can roll an armor affix. May try that and drop a quick silver... or an immunity. I like my double Quick Silvers since I tend to full map/area clear hehe. Haven't started doing maps yet, just about half way through Act 9 and this is the farthest I've actually gotten in the game, ever. Everything else you mentioned is spot on far as I have experienced. So obviously really enjoying this league and the build! Thank you for all your effort and input! It's great to hear what everyone thinks. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Though Each Tier of maps cranks up the difficulty, I hope you enjoy it until it's all crushed :). https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 23, 2018, 8:20:19 PM	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 23, 2018, 8:15:36 PM Quote this Post
I just want to thank everyone for all the effort they're putting it to help everyone else. It's appreciated. I hope none of you feel like you need to comment or respond. Whether you type huge replies or none at all, I hope you enjoy POE and the content it has to offer. Thanks again for everyone that's taken a look at the guide and tried it out. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 23, 2018, 8:19:13 PM	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 23, 2018, 8:18:54 PM Quote this Post
