Witch - [3.21] ShakCentral's Cold DoT Elementalist For Everyone - Forum

Hey, i really liked the guidee and after testing it a bit i'm planning on league starting with it in 3.13. Just a quick question i'm not entirely sure about. After finishing Act 10 it's recommended to farm Ossuary a bit and craft parts of the early mapping gear. What level of gear do i actually need to get into mapping. Is it enough to get decent life/es and capped res. to get into white maps or do i need to craft every single slot beforehand ?	Posted by jreg1s#0957 on Jan 12, 2021, 8:21:51 AM Quote this Post

Levels also help alot so just level as hybrid while picking the dmg nodes and you should be fine until red maps imo. Bated breath / rime gaze / the beast fur shawl (5L) until you get a decent 6L vaal regalia should be ez mode. Cerberus limb + high armor es shield works wonders aswell until you get a decent crafted weapon.	Posted by returnofsnow#5524 on Jan 12, 2021, 9:26:43 AM Quote this Post

Would it be worth to push the Betrayal Atlas passives in SSF so you have a chance to get the trigger craft a bit faster or is this not really important/ efficient? Never played the build before and don't know how important the trigger craft is, in terms of progression :)	Posted by morfer#3102 on Jan 12, 2021, 9:52:05 AM Quote this Post

Never played the build before and don't know how important the trigger craft is, in terms of progression :) The trigger craft is really quality of life, most monsters will die quickly without EE and on bosses you can cast storm brand/frostbomb/oos manually. That being said, it is a really nice QOL boost lol.	Posted by Mentosman42#6052 on Jan 12, 2021, 10:03:27 AM Quote this Post
" ascendancy changes make it very tempting to take vile bastion (finally). and to drop profane bloom while still having malediction. honestly with that kind of dps, I if i really wanted clear speed, i'd go back to my favourite boom boom wand - obliteration. just swap swap. i agree about high end, it frees up neck from requiring chayula's presence. Pretty sure this is the way to go, yeah. That being said, we lost a bit of clear in terms of explosion, lost a bit of dps, but the overall quality of life gets higher and the build is perfectly viable. I´ll do this eigher as a leauge-starter or as a secondary pick up to min-max and end the league on, depending on the Patch nodes. 12mio dps on that is definately enough to clear all content. Final decision if it will be starter or finisher will be decided after patch nodes today. HYPED	Posted by Vennto#1610 on Jan 12, 2021, 10:45:10 AM Quote this Post

As mentioned a few posts before, I will try SSF for the first time, since I dont have that much time anymore for playing and have to keep myself out of the competitive (economical) driven trade league. The builds sounds pretty fitting for SSF and at least the last two GGG infos about the ascendancy changes and balancing didnt hurt this build to much (only at the highend were @roseland and @donbrawler chipped in with some first infos and numbers). Going to be running this for my first SSF experience as well, getting pretty pumped. Did a practice level and it's super smooth leveling which is nice.

Related to EE, is there another viable trigger setup that would work with fire skills? I would be playing a good bit of co-op with a friend playing Arc and I wasn't sure if EE would be possible to run in this setup as cleanly as it can work with Storm Brand/Orb of Storms.

Armageddon brand perhaps? That was my thought, but I was unsure if it would tick fast enough that it would create enough uptime of the buff compared to the hits of the cold abilities themselves, since I know OoS/SB tick insanely fast.
