[2.2] Fyndel´s LL BM or Mana Spectralthrow - UPDATED FOR ASCENDANCY

I personally tried mana and thought it sucked balls, can't even empower anything, no heralds, no haste so you are slow as hell. I'll sitck with BM and probably use crit chance gem instead of crit multi (thanks to lib for the idea). I don't agree 100% with lib's build though as i think 127 life unreserved is way too low, you want at least 200-250 for smooth gameplay.

Yeah the dps and clear speed on mana is pretty rough,

The unreserved life being too low is something I've dealt with for a while so it's not the end of the world to me. As far as mindlessly spamming pots to sustain attacks goes...I can live with it...

Just as long as we can get somewhere close to where we were before.

The struggle is real.

I managed to get about 170 unreserved. I have a life roll on my belt instead of arm/ms so it helps a lot with that problem. I'd truly suggest..if sticking with bm mc getting a t1 life roll on a belt as opposed to the benched ms or armour. It's a nice utility as opposed to the others now.

170 life is decent yeah, getting life on belt was something I had on my mind for a while but I don't really play anymore so I don't feel like recrafting it.

After trying mana there is just no way I can stick with that lol, BM is still so much better.

just leave it here

You crit capped or no?

I was only able to reach crit cap with multi gem as mana based..

As for blood magic I needed crit strikes instead. There's not really much more crit within a reasonable stretch aside from the essential nodes.

What interests me most was that I was able to reach the same numbers you are with mana,

Sadly I'm on mobile and can't check your tree but something's lacking somewhere possibly. Your gear is obviously perfectly fine. But as I stated earlier it really probably all comes down to how necessary getting a char to 100 is

I have now 76.1% crit chance and 561% crit dmg (before nerf i have 94% crit chance)
If i want more DPS, i down my ES nods and UP crit chance and crit dmg nods.
100lvl in process :D but i started on new league, Standart borred me...

I don't want change any thing in my build/gear because GGG nerfed again and again.
I think, 3 months later, GGG again change something. I'm tired of this fight.

I've been testing out the mana witch version after finally switching gear around to cover resists and such.

At first I was very annoyed by the low amount of unreserved mana left over which was leading to many blank fires if I wasn't spamming my mana flask 24/7.

Then I decided to remove a few spell damage and a few es nodes and spent 5 points on max mana/regen nodes which actually turned out great for me, I have been able to spam much more freely and it feels smooth now. I very rarely ever have to use a mana pot now.

Obviously we got nerfed, but it's not too bad imo, The way I see it we lose some dps or lose a projectile. With LMP instead of GMP I am very close to my previous dps. I'll prolly still use GMP for mapping as everything still dies pretty much instantly with it. But I'll prolly use LMP for content with high HP.

Pre 1.3 I had: (was BM)

8.3K ES
117k GMP DPS
95% Crit Chance
88% Chance to hit


Now: (Mana)
7.9k ES
106k DPS w/ LMP | 78k w/ GMP
95% crit chance
92% Chance to hit

Obviously not as OP as before, but still pretty good imo.

Also I still need to recolor my +1 paws and move my Wrath, Disp, and Anger over to the +1 spot. That will give me a bit more dps and ES.

What do u guys think about this one ?

It's designed with VP for Witches without Acuity.
I left some points, so everyone could decide if he wants more ES / Crit / Multi or Ballistic Mastery

Tree


Gear

Thats just about the Gear. Dont check Gems, all in Work and need to swap them for 1.3.

Drop crit dmg gem for crit strikes..your crit chance is God awful :(

Getting crit capped is even more important then before because of the acuity nerf...your gonna need that crit I promise you.

Your build will feel exponentially better if you get that sorted out.

You must be missing a substantial amount of crit nodes or a power charge as well because 76% with the gear you have is just a shame!
