EPTEdit: Granted, this was at low level - mainly seemed boring because you can't control where the sparks go/it's slow.

I tried to play with it and wanted to play a Witch based on that spell, but Spark is somehow better in all regards, i dont get it. Because I like Chain Lightning and I don't like the little fairy looking sparks  Before the game was even out it was probably predetermined I would be chain lightning spam. I wish there were more fire/poison/ice stuff tbh, it's kind of lame to see all this lightning from everyone.. i wanted to be unique as Lightning.Lightning for life! | ||

Given that you dont get the double totem node till late levels, seem like both are viable so want to hear some opinions if anyone has any experience. | ||

Class only determines where you start on the passive tree and what skill gems you get from rewards. Both are viable. | ||

Generally-speaking mid-late-game it doesn't matter at all whether you pick templar or witch, because the nodes are so close and so similar that it hardly matters, and like 90% of builds that have any overlap whatsoever will traverse identical nodes. It's essentially, as said by Blitz, just the appearance, quest rewards, and how you want to level early. For example with witch the easiest way to level is to grab SpOrk or LA, while with Templar it's usually easier to go Mace+Shield and just bash shit. | ||

Same concern on witch for strength/dex. max level skills ur gonna need stats on gear which shouldn't really be a big deal. templar is probably tankier than witch this is what im using http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgMA37BXKwdj5oFzU8BUEVC71jvh4vdtGacrwfOOPIt6gh4XVIhCTC0igfIdwcUXUCy_f8bsGAD9EZYvncNtFLB0VQ5IFvOsmDowfM7jhKIuJjz31zlS6-SIa13ym6G8N18qtvdw1ULD0NBObZmaES9wUt-Ej0ZYB-tjAv4dFIw2-tJmnulzwBpxTVprWfOaz7x5WitDY01BLKe3Mbb6o_JY9femncSOZOQiKU_sOIKbOtgwl03YEGmePIx2OYqBb31Ttobd82BtXcadgEbX | ||

I've been trying to sell this amulet for at least 1 GCP on the forums, but haven't got any bites which is surprising to me. Is cast speed just flat out better than spell damage? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yGlEtjj.jpg) | ||

I've been trying to sell this amulet for at least 1 GCP on the forums, but haven't got any bites which is surprising to me. Is cast speed just flat out better than spell damage? I think people usually prefer getting at least either resists or str (via onyx) on casters. Otherwise the stats look good... so that's my guess, anyways. | ||

My first was a pretty wimpy shadow I gave up on around a3 cruel, this ones a ele bow ranger. I dont know if I have better than average gear or something but it was a lot easier than I expected. Brutus got like 1 cast off before dieing and merveil hit like a wimp. My Frenzy does 3k dps, is that a lot at this stage? what level are you? and what are you skill setups? (like what skills do you use with what links?) also can you post your build? My LA ranger doesn't do anywhere near 3k dps and I'm lv54 in act 3 cruel. I have basically taking every life node or defensive option in my tree so far and all my gear is resist/hp (for the most part) but god damn. I couldn't imagine doing 3k dps by act1 merciless. | ||
