I fixed a few pathing issues, removed a few bad damage nodes as well as a few clusters to get some life in exchange. I tried to leave the tree the way you did it as much as I could. It's a lot of points though and leveling into the 90s takes a lot of time, although not nearly as much as d2 currently.

Awesome, thanks guys I'll definitely PM you within a week or so to join the guild (if there's room) if I really start playing the game a lot. I have a feeling I will, lol.
I found the Passive Skill Tree template online and I made a cold + minion route... please let me know if you find any glaring mistakes/ have any suggestions

Get some life for yourself. Most beginners don't skill life and get rekt in cruel with 600 hp. Although it might not be much of a prolem for you if you are going minions. I would still aim for 100-150 % life by the time your build is finished. Having 1-2k life in normal and 2-3k life in cruel should be safe, especially for a summoner (and I guess softcore?). Minions are rather slow in the beginning but pretty safe to play and easy to gear for a simple playthrough. Zombies are pretty good.
For your equip, get life on it as well as elemental res. Capping your res at 75 is important just like, or even more than, in d2. There are helmets with +1/+2 to minion gems, which could be nice.
Don't go for too many different skills. Focus on one or two minion skills and support them with curses, auras and offerings. Adding another cold spell might not help much. Just takes away from your minion damage and there is enough to cast all the time anyways afaik.

Hey all,
Brand new player here (just a few hours into my first character, a Witch), and I'm really excited to play because I loved Diablo 1 and 2 (spent years and years playing them, especially LoD). I felt really let down by D3, but between reading through online PoE info, watching videos, and playing the game, I'm optimistic that I'll enjoy PoE
Given my irl time constraints and desire to not be super tryhard at a game for once, I'm looking to try out some fun, casual builds that are viable enough to get me through a simple playthrough. I'm not worried about godly tier anything or hyper-optimization... I just want to get a solid feel for the game and the gameplay.
With my Witch, based on the passive skill tree (forest? Christ that thing is huge!) and some of the spells I've tried out, I'd like to make a hybrid cold + minion/ summoner build. It also pays homage to my D2 sorc and necro
Are there any rules of thumb/ guidelines/ beginner's notes you could offer? Thanks

Well, to level up it is probably going to be easier to focus on spells, as it is very simple to scale spell damage. You get yourself some sort of 3-linked item (either buy a lifesprig for a couple chaos orbs or you can get a quartz scepter and craft +1 gems to it - do this by making the scepter magic quality, then selling it, an alteration orb, and a resistance ring to a vendor (fire ring = +1 fire gems, saphire = cold gems, topaz = lightning gem).
As for summoner there are many good uniques that are quite cheap for summoners, but as I said I would suggest focusing on spells and go from there once you reach level 60-70 (merciless dried lake).
Also, we have a TL guild in game if you are interested, just give your character name in the thread or PM it to me and I can invite if you would like. It is a good place to ask questions and get some help!
