I know right totem dps is good but the clear speed is pretty bad, it's annoying as hell.
Sometimes you need to focus on the right one ( necro raising skeleton hello ), and instead of focusing on the rare summoner, they just keep firing at the skeletons raised, and there's no way to address it. Keep summon totems near the one you wanna kill helps, but not much in pack of blue consist in 4+ necro. Hence the map takes forever sometimes.
Also solo Vorci's mission is literally impossible with Ancestral Bond =/.

Thanks for the cool tip.

I'm playing a Dual Flame Totem character now, as I felt that's going to be super safe while still strong. So far it feels good. Have never played that. The Cleave/DS char I ripped before was pretty awesome too, just a bit too low on life for a melee which made him die. QQ


I am playing dual flame totem right now in beyond, in maps, and its fine, its easily safer than many other builds because you can summon and hide like a little girl while your totems clean up.

1930 EDT or right after they reset. Unless all six of us decide to wait until the last minute and not have time to do them all ^_^

Worst channel ever. I'd rather find some people I know and grind tidal than that thing. :3

Also yeah, we decided to do them just after reset. Life is hard.

Man I wish I had more 'late game' experience, running the HC leagues is difficult when I've only been to merciless like once and have never done any maps -_-. I decided to try and kill merciless hailrake which ended up being a terrible idea and i ripped. I was cruising through the regular zones in a1merciless so didn't think the side zone would be that bad; the level jump was huge (like from 52 to 58 I think) which was a bit higher level than I was but like I said I didn't think it would make that huge of a difference.

Live and learn I guess, time to reroll :@

Was having fun with freezing pulse witch but I basically skilled pure defense and it still seemed a bit risky, though once I had a 5l to link life leech I think it would have been much better. So I am not sure if I want to reroll that again or something else. Plus I had spell echo from a random mob drop early on which was wrecking shit and I doubt I will be lucky enough to get another one this time ='[.

There's no shame in doing softcore league for a while to feel out powercurves.

Started playing Beyond and so far i am enjoying it. The monsters from portals are sometimes annoying though.
Everything went smooth, but now i reached act 2 Mercilles and man my witch is squishy.
I always played hardcore leagues so i always focused to survive and now i don't feel comfortable at all with my witch.

What is the best way to not die as a witch? I know that max. resists are mandatory and i am also using AA.
Thinking about getting high block chance with block chance to spells, but that will take some gear and nodes before i can rely on it.
I have some life in my gear and took as many life nodes as i could and i am at 2,5k life which is not sufficient for mercilles.
Any good tips will be much appreciated.

If someone can invite me to TL guild - Character name: Ricjiina

Maybe you could post your tree and what you are up to. 2,5 k life at act 2 merciless sounds like you either havn't picked enough life nodes or don't have enough life on gear (or both).

I am not at home so i can not post the tree, but my question was towards general mechanics what people use to defend with as a witch. I can think of some options, but can't really decide what is the good way to go:

- CI or not (good items for CI are more expensive to obtain, dream fragments and chayula are a must + RESPEC from life)
- Evasion (many nodes to take for it to be effective and still die if get hit)
- Block chance nodes + spell block
- Acrobatics (too many points on tree to get there including spell dodge. Also -50% ES not viable with CI)
- Cloak of defiance (can't run many auras)
- CWDT? What setup

Looking for general good tips on defense with a witch. My friend is using warlord's mark for life leech which is great. I just don't like the fact that it is too unreliable - can not use on curse immune mobs.

Oh ok.

- High Life/ES base
- MoM or Cloak of Defiance is pretty common for HC casters, alongside with EB (you don't need many aura's as caster anyways)
- Block/Spellblock is used and pretty strong, but more so for melees afaik
- Grace+IR is a good combo to get your phys res up, alongside with Granite (with %armour on use)
- general resist flasks, instant flasks
- I'm not too familiar with current CwdT set ups (levels) but good combos imho are EC+IC, Ice Nova+Blind, Devouring Totem/Decoy Totem
- Enfeeble helps immensly, selfcast or with CwdT to your likings (going dual/triple curse to maintain your -res curses at the same time is an option)
- I saw acrobatics being used this league in HC, I'm personally not a fan of it in HC but at least Etup uses it in the top5 (alongside with Ondar's) so it's probably not that bad

Your health seems pretty small. Do you have (high) life rolls on almost all of your gear? Some things you can add to any build are endurance charges (enduring cry), granite/jade flasks, CWDT with some combination of molten shell, immortal call, etc etc

Depends on the time you want to go CI (assuming u mean CI). In Lategame meele CI's tend to have the upper hand in survivability but you will need to invest craptons of currency for colors mainly.

Pretty sure he means Chaos Inoculation a passive that gives you 1 life but makes you immune to chaos damage. So you just stack energy shield.
