![]() In single-target/boss fights burning damage is a wonderful tool in kiting situations, and most bosses are pretty easy to hit with at least two of the three projectiles. LMP Fireball has thus-far managed to be quite effective at killing both groups of mobs, and also single enemies. Even at level 1 LMP’s drawback can be nullified if two of the projectiles hit the same target. I believe that this amount of damage, in combination with max level gems and decent gear, should be plenty of damage to clear enemies.Īlso, I’m aware that many builds have a single-target ability and an aoe ability, however LMP modifies Fireball in order to fulfill both roles. And finally damage, which although the most exciting aspect, is also the least focused upon. I grab a decent amount of resistances, which should allow reasonably coming close to capping resistances with gear. Reaching that shouldn’t be difficult with any +all gear, and if absolutely necessary I could invest in another +30 node. The reason for getting a +30 DEX node is because I would like to level LMP fully, which caps at 79 Dexterity. The mana and mana-regen passives are meant to allow me to spam Fireball and interact well with Clarity. Also note that INT directly affects energy shield, so stacking INT on items is never a bad thing. This build clearly focuses on stacking as much bonus energy shield as possible, and the reasons behind doing so are simply because that is essentially my hp bar, and I don’t like dying (speaking of I play soft-core, sorry). The End-Game Passive Build that I posted has the following stats from the passive tree:Įnergy Shield 181%-from Passives +74% from INT (excluding gear)=255%Įlemental Resistances 82% Fire and Frost 97% Lightning However, I’ve learned that PoE doesn’t reward that type of play nearly as much as it does more well-rounded options. When I first started Path of Exile I was all about glass-cannon passive selection, and had every point in fire spell-damage that I could get to. At its core it is based off of the very simplistic archetype of a fire-mage, and is a character designed to destroy things with fire whilst remaining survivable. Now that you’ve had a chance to peruse my build, both current and future, I’d like to offer some explanation as to how this build plays. ![]() Offensive stats will include as much Spell Damage (in the form of elemental, fire specific, or spell damage) and Cast Speed as possible, in addition to things like +levels to fire gems.ĭefensive stats will primarily focus on as high energy shield values (both flat and percent) as I can obtain and resistances. ![]() I will most likely be rocking wand+shield as the shield allows for both ES stacking as well as some damage. Obviously I’m not at end game yet so I won’t post actual items, however, the important things to stack should be somewhat obvious. Lesser Multiple Projectiles-May be upgraded to GMP when able I would love to hear your critiques/comments, and thank you for taking the time to peruse my build.įlammability-In Order to Maximize Effectivenessĭiscipline-Because I’m Focusing on Energy Shield Without further ado, here is my Witch in its current state, what I wish to eventually accomplish with the build, and discussion on how I play this build. Also, My Witch is currently only level 50 as I am a university student, and as much as I’d love to simply play PoE constantly, I can’t justify doing so. ![]() It may be important to note that I am relatively new to Path of Exile, but I have attempted to properly interact with knowledge on the forums and believe that I have a decent enough understanding of the game’s mechanics. ![]() Although I acknowledge that HP seems to be a more effective defensive strategy than ES I believe that an ES build should still at-least be viable. This build takes advantage of CI and obtaining a suitable amount of energy shield to survive end-game whilst doing respectable damage. Hello, I wanted to post the build that I started theory-crafting during the end of closed-beta (which was when I learned about PoE’s existence and bought my kiwi).
