I'm not currently using the 5 auras, because I need to get some more nodes/levels for Arcane Vision
The Grace in the boots is just leveling, I do have hatred ready too

And I need to improve my ES with better helmet/boots/gloves/rings

What would you change on my passive tree on lvl 87 or itens?

BTW, ty for your guide. That build is amazing :D

Let me start with saying that I am glad you're finding the build entertaining!

Soooo.....
I would get dexterity on amulet/rings to avoid getting so much extra dex from the tree. (refering mainly to the +30 nodes). Sidhebreath is not recommended as the need of a rare amulet with dex,ES,int,all attributes is WAY stronger both for survival as well as more nodes in the tree.

The suggestion i would put towards your build would also be to drop all minion life nodes as well as your zombies, with a +3 staff you don't really need the zombies. Minion Instability is a very low valued keystone, it fills no purpose in this build, would recommend removing that as well.
Personally, i would remove the 2x nodes giving you 6% increased aura effect each on the top left corner of the tree (In the Sovereignty circle) and take "Athletacism" which is just a bit further south giving you some extra Strength but also an additional 5% increased buff effect that will be goiod for both your Haste as well as your Discipline.

The flask nodes above the witch start area is very crucial for boss fights such as Atziri to make them easier. Not only for resistance but also for Granite flasks or Rumi's.


TL;DR
With your gear you should be able to follow the HB-SRS tree and drop Zombies from your usage, make sure to get yourself Dex,All Attributes,Intelligence as well as ES on your Rings/Amulet to make up for the loss of +30 Dex nodes.



I hope this helped you on your adventure with this build. Feel free to drop in on my stream for live answers to your questions, that way i can also show you visually what I'm talking about! :)

Ghazzy,

I am considering starting a witch to enjoy this build.

Do you think this item is any usefull?



I will use mine other chars to farm some ES item to bump this build

Thanks for the amazing guide

Little update on my journey, as i'm attempting uber atziri as soon as i can get my hands on a 21/20 srs.

I ripped 4 of them already, 5th one should be lvl 20 in a couple of days.





Currently sitting at about 7.2k ES, thanks to that crazy moonstone ring (700 ES by itself), but i'm still working on getting more. Not an easy task in Rampage at all...

Managed to get more mana regen and a lucky lvl 21 clarity, still can't sustain lvl 21 AA but i'm almost there. How i wish i didn't fixate that shitty mana reg roll on my staff when i crafted it

I chose to ditch ES delay on the north-east quadrant of the tree and i'm taking ES nodes instead, i think it's worth more to me that way as my gear isn't GG yet. Also i still have to move around some points, like str/dex (maybe) and minion life leech so i should be able to increase my ES even further (almost lvl 94 too)

I'll capture a vid of my 1st uber atziri attempt after vaaling another 20/20 srs (21 or not i'm gonna do uber anyway) and post again ;)

Bye!

You don't gain much DPS from using it, but increased skill effect is always going to be a DPS increaser. But you must never forget that the longer duration you have on your spirits, the longer the "charge" time it takes for you to cast til the point comes where you've reached "max" ammount of spirits which is your peak-DPS point.
That is why i do not use inc duration or faster casting gems in my links as the other gems provides more DPS and also lowers the "charge" time before i reach that peak DPS that is higher.


With 90% inc skill duration from tree your SRS lasts 6.65 seconds. With chober chaber you'd increase that which also increases the time you need to cast to reach peak-DPS.


TLDR;
I don't think Chober Chaber is a good choice for this build, no.

Forgive me if this sounds rude but...
Where is the quality on Melee Physical Gem?
Where is the quality on Melee Splash Gem?

Getting quality on Auras that benefits your SRS would be ideal if you got that possibility.


Gloves looking sexy with those 4 offcolors, nice. I believe you can do Uber without 21 SRS as long as you execute the fight properly. However you NEED the quality on those gems i mentioned in the beginning of this post.

Skill tree seems in perfect order, but clearly as you've noticed yourself you must strive towards getting that str/dex to avoid those points in the tree for that extra cast speed at this point.
I would personally take the decreased ES recharge timer rather than a higher ES pool for the Atziri fight herself as you can get hit by a small flameblast before she pops in to clone phase, so even if you have remove burning flask you wont have time to recharge the ES to survive another hit during the clone phase if you get unlucky. (I myself find it stressful to see my ES barely getting recharged after removing burning in that phase transition, and i have those nodes specced).

Second ring needs Elreon craft as well.


In general the looks of your layout seems to have some minor flaws in the gear/gems but nothing major, as long as you sort those small details I don't have any doubts that you can kill Uber if you execute it properly even with 20/20 SRS.



Wish you good luck and i look forward in seeing that video!

Aaaand uber is down

Got that 21/20 srs (actually, after the 6th rip i just bought 2 more lvl 20, GCP to 20 and vaal)

And OBS fucked with me so there's no video of it yet (i'm making it when i fix it up)... but both runs i did were pretty bad i made so many mistakes, things to be ashamed of (like misclicking vaal auras, or starting boss fight before setting up... that was actually hilarious, swapping in Added Fire Damage while Atziri was impaling me with her spears xD) all because of me being nervous actually, not gonna happen again i hope!

In any way, she went down


How did i feel about it? Pretty ok tbh, not that "huge" step up from regular atziri i was expecting (i was sure i had to waste at least my 1st set, but it didn't happen, and i had to recover a fight where i died during 2 split phases).

It is overall the same encounter tactic-wise, you just need the gear to do it, because the DPS needed is higher of course, but it poses as much a challenge as regular with bad gear and i had a lot of practice with it.

Well, thanks man for your build, my best experience in PoE so far for sure ;)

Bye!

Edit: I got 20/20 Melee phys and 20/21 Melee splash ;)

I'm SUPER happy to hear about your success! Good job!

(Switching gems mid fight...? Don't switch in splash as some people do during healing phase, just keep spaming single target ones. I've discovered that melee dmg on full life is even better than added fire since the spirits so rarely take dmg during this fight.)

Actually, i started the fight by mistake before even switching gems xD

And about melee damage on full life, i was thinking about that too during my last run tonight, if spirits get damaged by anything they are dead anyway, so it should work pretty good, and the damage gained is definitely higher

I think i'm gonna get one and test it out

I would suggest using added fire for the trio-boss due to the risk of finding yourself in a situation with lots of extra enemies if the last boss ends up behind a pillar!

For the other 2, i've started using melee dmg on full life. You notice the difference very clearly on Vaal Overlord.

About Trio boss, I had this fight yesterday were everything went wrong. I've done it countless times in regular, i didn't expect such a behaviour but maybe you can shed some light.

I did everything as always, totem near left pillar toward the center of the room, vaal skeles all the way to the left, went back on the right side of the room and started the fight when at peak number of spirits.

The problem this time was that for whatever reason titty bitch fled the fight (went all the way outside of the screen to the left), cleaver boss whirlwinded towards me (that happens sometimes, it has never been such an issue, i just move and put myself so that i still send spirits to ranged boss), he died first and after a couple of seconds i got literally oneshot by a rain of spikes. There was no way for me to recover that fight, with a puddle of shit right in the middle of the room and ranged boss oneshotting me as soon as i cast anything.

This is the first time ever i had that behaviour, usually i just go straight to the middle of the room, focusing down titty bitch and then letting spirits clear the rest (usually cleaver first, then dual striker).

Do you think this may be caused by me making a mistake in positioning totem, skellies or even me? Is there any "trick" that would help in boss positioning? I should just watch you do that fight again and see specifically what i messed up (even if I'm 99% positive that i did everything as you do)

Also, did you ever die in that fight with titty bitch still up? And how did you manage to recover such a fight if it ever happened? Using any other vaal aura was not an option as (on top of that) i had a shitty populated map where i barely managed to fill 1 Vaal Haste and Vaal Skeles.

I guess if you get that unlucky, there's nothing you can do but suck on it and get another set :|

Bye

EDIT: It won't be easy to get another good ES ring with all the resists i need, but if I manage to get one and master craft elreon ES, i will swap out max ES nodes for recovery delay, i see the point in taking that cluster.

Also, if in the next days i get lucky and manage to drop and sell Atziri gloves, i'll probably start crafting this and get some more ES

I wouldnt recommend crafting that. I am almost done with my new helmet and on top of that there already is BiS helmets on the market. I'm only crafting cause i want the original piece crafted by myself.

Make sure to summon the V. Skellies as far out on the edge as possible to avoid having them spawn behind the pillar and if that behaviour still occurs, make sure to run after that bitch til shes dead.

And yes I've recovered that situation ones. You have to use another vaal haste and use splash to clean properly and make sure to always keep totem up to have them target it instead of you. Also you have to pillar kite the bitch. The spawns will be agroed by your spirits and actually then move on to the bitch even if you are behind a pillar throwing your totem out and spirits on the side.
