Yeah, i think that decision of the balance team is rather crude. I thought that zealotry would be 50%, or atleast 40% to compensate that it works only on ES leech.
But now that we know that it's just 30%, it's just inferior version of discipline one... Not only won't force you to add aura (absolutely ANY ES character have discipline), but also works for regen too (which is major point, considering that ES leech now don't use vaal pact).
What can i say - shame on balance team! SHAME!!!

Trying to figure out best flask setup for mapping. How does the concecrated ground from flask give es regen?

And would a quartz flask for the dodge and phasing be good?


Consecrated ground gives life regen, but we take Zealot's Oath so we regen ES instead.

Not sure the Quartz flask is worth it for 10% dodge.


I see.. Where do we get life regen from? Besides the quartz flask..

"Shaper" and 2 "life regeneration" nodes beside it, to grab top left jewel socket of scion.
Really want to grab "sanctity" too, 10 Int and str, 1% regen, 10% ES really sweet, but can't find a good way to do it, without wasting 2 additional points.

The build I went with last mid-league was a cast on crit ice nova build. It had 200+ pages on the thread in a month. But anyway he put a gear section for "god-tier". Could you add something like this? Gave something to strive for when I got rich in the league :)

Or is there a better witch build to swap into if we have 100+ exalts to burn? Those new soul rend builds look pretty promising.. Its my first league trying a witch so I have no idea haha


There is no special god-tier gear pieces for this build to be honest, anything different that is written in the build guide.

Last league with this build i reached some insane values: 19.270 ES (insane ES value for any CI build) and 2.609 Intelligence and was almost immortal with those values (Uber Elder and deep mine Auls can be tanked 100% with these values)- total value of the gear for that character probably over 150 exalts.

God tier gear means as much ES and Int as possible in every piece of gear including Jewels.

That means get as much (implicit or explicit) +Int, %increased Intelligence, %increased attributes, +attributes and so on on every piece of gear you can think of (including Jewels - Emperor Mastery and Emperor Wit lab Jewels for example)

I would agree with most of it, but it would probably be better to especially mention shaper amulet with "12% increased attributes" and "1% increased damage per 10 int". It is kind of specific gear that not included in basic "more ES, more flat int" :)

Oh, and if we are talking about GOD tier, i guess double corruption for 12% int on every piece of jewelery would be nice :)

OK, i'll try to make a list of GOD-tier items for this build based on my experience with playing it:

Chest (Shaper Vaal Regalia base ilvl 84+): 800+ ES, 12% increased Intelligence, Tier 1 flat Intelligence

Helm (Hubris Circlet base): 350+ ES, Tier 1 flat Intelligence, Nearby enemies have -9% to cold resistances (delve mod), +Resistances

Gloves (Fingerless Silk Gloves base): 250+ ES, Tier 1 flat Intelligence, +Resistances

Boots (Sorcerer Boots base): 200+ ES, Tier 1 flat Intelligence, 35% increased movement speed, +Resistances

Belt (Cyclopean Coil - corrupted): 12% increased Intelligence (double corruption), 15% increased Attributes

Amulet (Shaper base Onyx/Agate/Citrine): 12% increased Attributes, Tier 1 +Attributes, 1% increased damage per 15 Intelligence, Tier 1 flat Intelligence, Tier 1 +Maximum Energy Shield, %increased Maximum Energy Shield (craftable also) or Tier 1 %increased Spell Damage

Rings (corrupted): 12% increased Intelligence (double corruption), Tier 1 flat Intelligence, Tier 1 +Maximum Energy Shield , +Resistances

Jewels:

Watcher's Eye with 3 mods:
+ES gain on hit while using Discipline
%increased ES recovery while using Discipline
Gain % of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield while using Clarity

Emperor Mastery Prismatic Jewel : 7% increased attributes
Emperor Wit Cobalt Jewel: 6% increased intelligence

Getting all those items would probably cost a kidney or two though :)

Or more :) For example, there are no 12%int Coils even in standard.
Do we not get coldhearted calculation like stated in the leveling guide?

Wear your Int/ES gear. Replace Life Leech with Energy Leech. Do the Merciless lab (take Wicked Ward). Head into the maps and work on the final tree:
- Arcane Focus
- Foresight
- Path of the Savant
- Coldhearted Calculation
- socket between Witch and Shadow (rare)
- Shadow area socket (rare)
- socket near Light Eater (Brute Force Solution or Fertile Mind) + 30 Str or Dex node nearby
- socket between Templar and Marauder (Brute Force Solution)
- socker near the Scion start (Brute Force Solution)
- Zealot's Oath
