Wither is not a curse (or a hex). The only curse this build applies is Despair, which comes from Witchfire Brew, so you can't support it in any way.

Question about the Uber melee PS build. gems linked with arctic armor is this just to increase the arctic armor effect on enemies?

Yeah. Pretty much when 1 monster from a pack hits you everyone around him gets chilled.
Arctic Armour has max chill effect (30% reduced action speed) and with 8% attack speed reduction from Soul of Gruthkul it's quite noticeable.

@TorsteinTheFallen: If this is my league starter (never play poison builds) what do You think: play normal build with totems (play with wither totems many times with ED/Cont) or go for uber melee.

Seeing a lot of phys conversion alternate quality gems for poison, are they any good for this build?

Also is it easy to switch around skills with this build? I like zooming around maps but not getting my ass handed to me by sirus and other content bosses, was thinking of doing cobra lash but if pestilence strike is the more balanced skill i may lean towards that instead haha

-Arctic Armour
Alternate Quality 1 20% chance to Freeze Enemies for 350 ms when Hit

With Bonechill support would be very interesting

This will enable use of fully physical claws

Also full phys claws

Very good

Go with normal variant if you never played it before. You can switch things later if you want.

Ok then! Then You so much for fast reply and I'm rdy for new league!
Good Luck :)

I checked the Uber Melee build option very cool - a tank that kills everything) I was only killed by the lich 83 delve from all the content, because I went under the beam myself =)

Any interest in Divine Flesh for uber melee version? Paths you right next to Method to the Madness as well, assuming you corrupt Perfect Agony keystone.

I'm not sure what you'd give up, though. It might be that Divine Flesh is enough by itself to be worth dropping some block and ignoring the Method wheel. Potentially some of the dual wield block nodes, or the worst three point damage wheel?
