Hey, thank you for your guide!

Playing the build now and it feels not bad despite of vortex change. Not sure how it will be later on, so considering trying Wintertide Brand instead of vortex

Could you please share your thought about it? Maybe some changes in tree or links in order to fit it?

Thanks!

The issue with Wintertide Brand is that it doesn't scale well. It cannot be used for high tier maps.

Hope your league-start goes well~

Well it definitely feels much more clunky than last league. Still enjoying it for league start and most likely gonna finish all voidstones with it, but gonna ditch fairly soon after that. Thats a shame, previous leagues I could just invest and invest in the same build until I get tired of the league hah. I never liked switching characters cause im slow at levelling (10h or so for campaign)

Maybe respec into another witch build haha... Looking forward to the new builds with the transfigured gems.

For those who are wondering how Cold DoT looks like post-Vortex nerfs, it looks like this: https://youtu.be/P4mbYl-yV-8

The video is based on Trickster but Cold DoT Elementalist gameplay is similar.

I played Trickster this league as I have played Cold DoT Elementalist for many leagues in a row and wanted to try other builds. Trickster works better on low budget, Elementalist works better on medium budget onwards.

My recommendation for Cold DoT Wildwood ascendancy is the Wildwood Primalist as the Charms are more useful than the Tinctures. Warlock is out of the question.

To be honest I've been interested in going for a bow build since I've never ever tried it. However im not sure i just wanna go the regular lightning arrow everyone plays. Saw a build on maxroll for cobra lash, it looked interesting, still undecided.
Which witch builds are good at endgame tho? As you can tell i dont have as much knowledge as you i just pumped this build guide for 3 leagues in a row now.

Last league I would have recommended EK ignite but it has been nerfed in 3.23. Need to wait for new builds to pop up.

Hi

Which Viridian Wildwood tree should we specialise in and what stats?

Thank you for the guide so far <3

I recommend Wildwood Primalist.

Might of the Bear >> Charm Socket >> Charm Socket >> Charm Socket

Top useful lines for the charm sockets:
-Culling Strike
-Onslaught on kill + increased onslaught effect
-Increased Curse Effect
-Phasing on Kill
-Banner skills have no reservation / mana reservation efficiency (remove requirement of jewel to have 2% mana reservation efficiency for banner)

Useful if its a high roll:
-Increased elemental resistances
-Evasion rating per 1 max ES on equipped helmet

The weekend is finally here! :) I have created a new section on the Wildwood Ascendancy Class. Do check it out!

Cheers~

Is this still a good choice for doing ubers?
