@David Powell Is there anything I can do with 50c once I'm leveled to soften the blow? I have some other currency too that might add to my chaos... I'm not too crazy about throwing mines around... Would you recommend the EC/I Trickster he has, or maybe the toxic rain trickster Esoro did?

Finally a build that took me through the entire game without dying and taught me a thing or two on the way. So much more fun to learn the game when not constantly fighting for survival and losing each time!

Also you mentioned summon skitterbots, but with 3 spellslingers you can't reserve that aura? Thanks in advance for the answer!

League started with this. Just got into T16 maps. Been a lot of fun, amazing clear, good survivability with all the chilling and freezing. Thanks a lot! Now started to notice that boss dps is indeed the con of this build. Will now be working towards EQ with Storm brand on trigger wand to see if it helps enough with bosses, otherwise might create a boss killer alt.

Hey, thanks for the guide! Sounds great :-) I really would like to know how your cluster-free level 71-90 tree would look like and which of the surrounding remaining nodes are most important to you? I just played a bit around and "Heart of ice" + "Blast radius" + "Arcane focus" for instance are exactly matching 8 points, but if we aren't going for cluster jewels we might skip the preceding small regular jewel cluster as well. What would be your choice?

@destdest6537 3 жыл бұрын

If you want that build at league start (first 3 days): Snakepit - 60-40с, wand with only Trigger socketed spell - 30-40c, Tabula - 20-22c. Cinderswallow Urn - 100с, Dying Sun - 150c+

I dunno if i played the same way, but i played it on ssf hc harvest creeping frost with occultist with some twists(switched even to es only) and its a damn solid build if you are not about to get big boss killspeed. Depending on Bosses, it lacks a bit on damage output, but its a rock solid way to play the game without high investment. I will play it on heist as my starter again, since i dont see any big nerfs coming.

@tweedledee8952 3 жыл бұрын

I'm currently doing a test run (approaching A6 atm), and i have to say leveling is a breeze. Its fast, easy to play, safe and the damage is there. a1 with freeze pulse is a tad uncomfy on the mana, but otherwise it rocks, and once you got clarity and creeping frost you are flying. I honestly think racers are sleeping on this, its absolutely fantastic. If you really want more ST (you don't need it for lvling at all imho) you can just lvl a vortex in your offhand and swap that in. Can 110% recommend Creeping Frost so far. PS: the POB notes are greatly appreciated. Thx a lot.

Hey Ducks, quick question? I am looking for a good Witch build and I am loving this video. I found another Creeping Frost build at PO Vault by Clydeheart and I noticed the tree went off the Energy Shield path instead of the the Spell Damage path yours took, so I'm assuming this is going to be way more DPS and fun to play. Just wanted your quick thoughts before I start attributing points.. Thanks in advanced.

What's your take on this build with the current elementalist changes? Skitterbots are out for elementalist, thankfully. Shaper of Winter, Bastion of Elements and... then what? The golem nodes just for the handy utility of 3 or 4 golems w/ the new respawn mechanic? Use frostbite for damage or temp chains to slow bosses even more (if only a little)?
