Witch - [3.1] Facetank w 15-19k EHP - The Immortal Spectre Summoner (all specs, hyper important for HC) - Forum

I have made a 5L and have around 10k ES/hp but i think I'm really missing something. chimera 3 shot me in cloud phase and minotaur one shot me from underground even when i precast desecrate before him coming up. so i guess something is definitely wrong with my build. can anyone help me here?

Pretty sure it's because trying to get RGGGGx on an ES chest is already hell. You could split it into 2 different links, of course, and fit Desecrate in that way (some people are doing that). ⚡ Lightning Golems: /1902593 ⛄ Ice Golems: /1914382	Posted by tomatopotato on Feb 18, 2018, 11:44:29 PM Quote this Post
Does anyone have a problem against packs of mobs with very high physical damage? Like around Kitava Heralds, they'll all slam on top of me in a 0.1s interval, removing my entire ES pool and firing off unearths in a random direction, and then their next round of attacks will drain my entire life pool + what little ES i had managed to sustain. Is the counter to that pre-desecrating corpses in the vicinity so you can immediately get spirit offering'd back? It's sorta weird, I can deal with things like GMP/IAoE/twinned Core, or Elder, or Shaper, or guardians no problems, but a chain of very strong hits all at the same time ruins me.

I wasn't able to sustain against Minotaur and the falling rocks on a map with only one damage mod. Unless there's something I'm not doing correctly? Edit 2/13: Forgot that any spell on CWDT shares cooldown with copies of that spell on another link. Removed Unearth from the CWC link. Added a separate CWDT-Desecrate-Cascade link: Spoiler 4L CWDT Unearth GMP LMP 3L CWDT Spirit Offering Bone Offering 3L CWDT Increased Duration Immortal Call 4L CWDT Desecrate Cascade Frost Wall 3L (all 20/20) CWDT Temp Chains Enfeeble I was at around 13k EHP (less than the OP, since I want to see how the build performs with Shavs/Presence/DreamFrags for immunities) and 69/75 block with Bone Offering up. Still at risk of being burst down vs. super rippy map mods or certain bosses, but quite tanky. Not quite immortal, but still really good. Maybe if I give up DreamFrags and Shavs it'll push my EHP past the threshold and into immortal territory? Oooh, interesting, I hadn't thought of splitting Cwdt-Unearth and Cwdt-Spirit Offering into seperate link sets. That would let you use a 6L Vis Mortis. So... how are you finding it? Is it reliably recovering your ES?	Posted by HarryBalzac on Feb 21, 2018, 5:41:38 AM Quote this Post

You can soak up damage quite well in the vast majority of situations you'll encounter, indefinitely even (depending on damage mods/mob mechanics). ⚡ Lightning Golems: /1902593 ⛄ Ice Golems: /1914382	Posted by tomatopotato on Feb 22, 2018, 10:16:07 PM Quote this Post
Hey guys, can someone please check my setup as it feels like i regen too low ES with CWDT... Char's name is CodeDemon (standard league) or PoB: https://pastebin.com/SxEXjFwA Thanks for your time!	Posted by aefoa on Feb 27, 2018, 10:20:12 AM Quote this Post
have to ask, in 3.2 is this still viable at all? or did they nerf it with the necro changes? The past is a ghost that haunts you from the moment it exists, until the moment you do not.	Posted by ZhardDee on Mar 7, 2018, 11:53:07 PM Quote this Post
" have to ask, in 3.2 is this still viable at all? or did they nerf it with the necro changes? Pretty heavily nerfed. Essentially you're looking at a 66% less healing e.g. previously on a CWDT you take ~500 damage, heal 2000 (total +1500), now you heal 1000 (total +500) It's still functional, but not facetank levels. ~50/50 block is probably better?
