Mind sharing the build? This was pretty much exactly in line with what I wanted to try in HC but I'm still unfamiliar with the game. Thanks!

There isn't much to it, really. Just go onto the Path of Exile webpage, open their Passive Skill tree, type "Minion" into the search box, then pick up every single one of the minion nodes as efficiently as you can. Even if you use the best route, you'll still end up spending the majority of your early to mid-game points just getting that done.

Summoner witch is a really easy starting build, at first it may be slow but later levels it is strong without amazing gear. A character like that is great for finding stuff to build something else specific.

I really want to see the OB notes so I can try to guess what changes I might have to make for my OB build.

Build


My dual curse summoner witch, atm level 72.
I use no offensive attacks, and just let my minions do all the damage.
I use 5 auras: Wrath, Anger, Discipline, Purity and Grace.
Enfeeble and Temp. Chains as the 2 curses.

The first levels of the build till around 30-40 will be very hard because your minions will be weak.
But after that you just face roll the game.

You will probably won't need to use Purity in OB(because merciless will be 60% resistances nerf)
And you should run Vitality with the new keystone.

Yes. Many good dual wielding builds. Remember when you dual wield you get 10% block/perry and 10% extra attack speed also some really good skills you can use.

I actually always wanted to make a high block/perry dual wielding Duelist but never got around to it

Btw if any1 need help you can find me in HC im either on: Lifeleech or Testastic.

I got a 996% unarmed facebreaker unique if anyone wish to try out that build is really fun

Thanks guys! Will try that build to farm up some stuff for other characters since it seems pretty safe (similar to mf orb/blizzard sorcs in D2).

I guess I might as well post my planned build and get input since there could be something I overlooked that could improve this.

My Build

My plan is to go Bow Templar, but I will be running 2h melee until I'm at the point where I have what I need for bow to be usable. I'm still unsure what I'm going to use as my AoE and single target skills, but I will decide either by the patch notes or by testing in OB. Currently I use split arrow for AoE and Ice Shot for single target. I may switch single target to elemental hit if it still is very strong. I may switch from split arrow back to LA, but that I can't predict that yet.

I'm going to be running Anger and Wrath but I may include Grace since having evasion is beneficial. I will use a mix of AR/EV and AR gear for the mixed benefit of both. Currently AR/EV chest is only -4% movespeed vs -8% from AR so I might take that into consideration, but it depends on changes.

I'm probably going to need to find a replacement for Decoy Totem unless they rebuffed it some since it only has like 33% increased life around level 15 vs ~104%. I've heard of Kripp using summon skells on a spell totem since they have 2k hp without any passives. I could just use something different entirely for a replacement.

Then to simply increase my single target burst damage I'm going to run at least 2 bear traps with added fire.

On my passive tree, I included attribute nodes based on how I needed them on my current BM Bowplar. Some may not be needed based on gear. Some of the paths I took was influenced by leaving quick access to large attr nodes. I decided not to get RT since I can get high accuracy from gear and using Projectile Weakness gives me pseudo accuracy. I have kept the first 4 melee nodes there because currently I don't have a need for the AoE nodes but I can always do some respecing to get them since it's the same cost.

You may notice I left myself fairly open to grab endurance charges and add that to my build for levels past this tree as long as this character will be viable long term and needs the defense. There are more regen and HP nodes I'd like to get, but as of now I will probably leave them in the same category as endurance charges.

Most of the things I chose should be self explanatory but I'd like input if there is input to be had. If I need to explain any decision that I made, feel free to ask!

he runs them mostly for his minions though, and the buff effect nodes only affects buffs on your character.

I'll probably run a summoner first too. My take on the build is slightly different- melee summoner using Dominating Blow and Conversion Traps (not sure if MI procs on the traps but it does on DB). I definately do not use Purity, but Vitality instead (want minions to have high life but as little survivability as possible). Spell totem- summon skeles.

That's one of the great things about this game, even similar builds can be cusomized to play extremely different.

can you give me an example of a good dual wield build or what it's called so i can search the PoE forums? also should i go for weapon specific nodes or dual wield nodes for dmg?


also can i miss any quest with good rewards if i join a party that's about to end the act then go straight to the next act? i'm worried (in joining parties) that i might miss any good rewards like the bandit quest that gives a skill point. this is my first playthrough so i want to make sure.

hey man just curious

There are quests that are mandatory to move on, so if you haven't completed them you can't progress. (Bandits are needed to beat act 2, weaver and chamber of sins is needed to finish bandits, etc)

so even if i join a party that already finished these mandatory quest i still have to finish them?

edit:

ok i got clearance that i can go back to any quest(any difficulty) i missed and finish them.


anyone here who's using a dual wield character?

Yes, if you try to TP past where you currently are it will not allow you to enter the TP.
