Witch - Cold ANIMATE WEAPON Summoner | League-Start & Leveling Guide - Forum

Yeah I imagine it would be fine. I like the pace of play with animating weapons that drop (also thematically, I get a kick out of it) but reducing clutter would be a plus. " CharminBear wrote: Fortress Covenant jewel I thought it might be good if gear-starved at the start of the league - in light of cluster jewels being easy to get and fairly cheap, I may edit it out of the guide. Is the EE version definitively better than the impale/CiP version? I seem to be having pretty mediocre dps , nothing like the 30m shaper dps that was mentioned.

I'm fully ascended and have a decent amount of defensive notables from clusters I'm still having issues with delirium. Though it's not as bad as it was. I think I have a pretty good build going, but not sure where to go for more dps without things getting much more expensive. Only thing that really stands out is swapping melee phys with added cold and maybe swapping out chernobog once I get a better way to proc EE. I'll post my PoB for the cold version if people want to take a look at it. https://pastebin.com/kRxBEmsW While you're changing gems around, I'd also suggest Hypothermia instead of Deathmark. The extra freeze does help for survival. My only other suggestion would be minion taunt on a jewel, and getting rings you can craft minion move speed on. Also, Vengeful Commander is one of the most impactful cluster jewels to get if you can squeeze it in. my current POB: https://pastebin.com/JKpJsvs9	Posted by ThanatoZGaming#6817 on Mar 15, 2020, 10:23:30 PM Quote this Post

Right now AW is feel super clunky to me. Having to cast bladefall multiple times then having to cast AW 13 times and they last only for a minute and a half. Is there like really no way to summon multiple of them? "The heavens burned The stars cried out And under the ashes of infinity Hope, scarred and bleeding breathed it's last."

spell echo should spawn 2 aw at same time Last edited by Deus0Ex0Machine#0342 on Mar 15, 2020, 11:01:25 PM	Posted by Deus0Ex0Machine#0342 on Mar 15, 2020, 10:52:39 PM Quote this Post
btw can ee proc 2 times? If I have fire and lightning damage, mobs get res, but do they get cold weakness two times?	Posted by Deus0Ex0Machine#0342 on Mar 15, 2020, 10:58:17 PM Quote this Post

Never runs out of stacks that way. you could link it to Unleash but that's never seemed necessary to me. " spell echo should spawn 2 aw at same time, not sure if cast speed affects aw(if not mistaken, it should give them attack speed, but this is questionable) it does not help attack speed. Spell Echo affects the spell, not the minion " Deus0Ex0Machine wrote: btw can ee proc 2 times?

I played mage skeletons some time ago, and their basic attack is spell, not just attack, so this confused me, so spell echo affects minions, not just skills, but minions should have something to cast for this to work thx for build and idea!

Generally, life leech is the way to go for minion life sustain. If it's delirium, yeah they do just die a lot and have to be resummoned. My hope is that after eternal lab and +2 skills, weapons are more tanky. can you see it now?	Posted by Daesmondy#0133 on Mar 15, 2020, 11:26:52 PM Quote this Post
" Ayam1414 wrote: Does the weapon type we use is important because I read that animate weapon take base damage from then weapon and add the bonus ? The weapon you carry has no effect on AW. The weapons you animate take on 2 forms 1) Lingering Blades - These are the blades that are left over after Bladefall completes. They are left in the ground and you can animate them 2) And/or you can choose to animate weapons that drop from killing bad guys	Posted by AndyLovesHisBge#5265 on Mar 15, 2020, 11:38:27 PM Quote this Post
