I just killed Shakari... She managed to one shot me when getting out of the sand. That kind of ridiculous death never happens when i go whith witches. 13 deaths and not even in maps, i can tell you it's really far from my usual way of playing the game. Carpet playstyle is not really my thing XD



No offense Ashandaar but idk what witch build would "not die" if you are lvl 68, but half your gear is lvl 10-20 stuff without any stats(no life..)

I understand your play-time is limited, but if you make it to lvl 68, you must have inserted some hours going through the acts, so idk how you haven't managed to pickup any upgrades at all, even just plain gear with LIFE on it from the ground heh. Again, your belt is lvl 11 with no life, your rings and amu are all lvl 14 to 24 with a combined total life of 33 between 3 items, all other items have 0 life with exception of gloves/helm.

I claim the build is rather tanky yes, but you're not a build at this point.. you're a shadow in almost non-existent gear. Leveling was actually imo made easier this league since you get an overpowered +30 life on traps trigger! A literal mini-tinker skin from level 10 and onwards! ...You also have 25/25 spell/att block by lvl 16!(act 2) with the ability to reserve multiple auras of your choice (could be arctic+tempest+skitter+ as example if you crave defense).
You get a first ascendancy that gives you 10% regen life/es or 15% less dmg taken from all monsters (if again, you go the tanky route as explained in the guide).

You have off-screen clear, most of what you fight should be dead before it's swarming you, for anything else you still (even with 0 investment) got passive 25/25 block from lvl 18+ (pickup any grey shield on the ground..) and 40ish block soon after that.

Once you got some decent ES, Vaal disc is a 3sec immortality giving you plenty of time to clear the screen and it recycles the charges extremely quickly. Plus it's usable without needing to reserve discipline.

... again, i'm not trying to be a d*ckhead, but If you go from act 1 to 8+ (to be lvl 68) you must have found a few alchemy and a chaos here and there. You'd be amazed at how much life or es you can get from just a few alchemy, but i'm honestly shocked if you haven't found better gear than those extremely low level items, even just by ID'ing occasional stuff from the ground as you go.

Try adding pierce gem in place of trap and mine dmg and then pickup any weapon from this list, for 1c: (heck, you can offer 1 alch for most of these and ppl will sell and you badly need a weapon)

I'm not denying that maybe the trapper playstyle or shadow tree in general just isn't your taste, but imho you haven't tried it fairly at this point.

Ok, it sucks but I understand. Was also struggling hard and have died to most everything, deaths=24. I usually don't die that many times leveling :D

But just now I manage to kill act.10 boss Kitava deathless! That's my first time! :) And I have only you guys to tell.. :D

Good luck with your next build, I normally quit around lev.90 and start a new one.
Oohh.. Look at that!

'll struggle with this beginning and make my way out anyway, no worries.


I also hard a hard time in the beginning, because I missed taking the right quest jewel in act5(?).. :(

And then I noticed that oestergreen also use a pierce support gem!?
I followed his advice and things went from frustrating to fun! :D

Keep in mind, everytime you shift in and out of the "nightmare" your debuff stacks higher. (top left corner)
So if you frequently jump in and out, you'll eventually get 1shotted regardless what you do almost. The debuffs clear with each zone reset and they won't stack as high, if you let the blood fill to max and then clear it a couple of times each zone. League mechanics always catch players off-guard, that's why it sucks being a hardcore player:)

Ahh.. I'm to stressed out to have noticed!? lol! Thanks for that info. I was watching when Ziz playing and noticed he jumped out before blood-meter was empty. Now I spam trapps and kill everything around me when I jump in :) VERY satisfying! :)
I love this build and start thinking it will be my first lv. 100??

Well i can tell you i grabbed almost every rare gloves, torso, boots etc on the ground and the ones i have on my toon are indeed the best i found. As deeply disturbing as it appears, my rng this league is at it lowest XD.

I call this the shadow doom as each time i tried this class, i always ended up stoipping it because i couldn't get anything valuable. Just for fair comparaison, last league i played a necromancer with skeletton mages. Well, before the end of act 9 i was sitting on 4500hp and already had 9 skelettons mages, 56 when using vaal skeletton. The difference is day and night, from steamrolling content to being steam rolled here.

But as you say, every build would be destroyed using the crappy gear i currently have that's why i wanna try and struggle more, i wanna try to forget each time i die because of the abysmally low hp and es i have and hope for the best for the next few days. To me, it really seems that class is cursed when i play it...

yap same;P had to pay 5c though, needed the STR!

Now i can toss the pierce and get back trap&mine dmg until later when i can fix lab enchant + get chayula to replace the amu. :)



Just went on a big upgrade spree. Got the following for 10c


1k life and 4340 ES and still on act 9

Hmm what about dropping the mostly useless 2% life recovered per second while moving for 100% vitality efficacy?
