Love deep dives like this. Super helpful for me when I'm not sure at all about what I'm doing. Got any advice for a poor level 80 WH trying to transition away from the league starter with Cloak of Flame? I have a random Choir amulet waiting for 4 more levels and a crappy HoWA but I don't have much funds left. Definitely not enough for an Ingenuity belt.
Try your luck on doing your last ascendancy in the Trial of the Sekhema. Final Boss drops the Relic that is about 3-4 Divine. That’s how I got my HOWA.
My findings from Witchhunter - Armour / ES version - Couture of Crimson chest + Mahuxotl Max Resistances + Sorcery Ward + Leech This is a physical version utilizing either melee physical or flash grenades + physical bolts Had a weapon master idea but the Molten Blast seems low while Hammer of the gods has 450k ish average damage Ghost Dance Non-Acrobatics Take at least 1k ES and 20k Evasion and you'll recover full ES when hit - requires scaling 5-6 jewels with 20% energy shield and 20% faster start This version is favourable with Culling Strike + Decimating Strike + Myris Uxor and there's great potential for weapon master. It's near a lot of lightning nodes and scales falcon dive and movespeed really well for something like Tempest Flurry Armour / Evasion Melee is kind of mediocre for the Life / Strength / Chaos Resist investment required to stand in Stampede range but if you combo everything you have it's fairly smooth, just needs much more attack speed and I think Giant's Blood is the wrong call; leave that to Warriors, the Witchhunter should just use a 2h in Weapon set 2. I have to try build out an idea for 1h Mace Stampede to get a more fluid mapping experience. Evasion Acrobatics is great until you stand in an AoE, otherwise very tanky and maybe when swords are here, we'll have a 1h Sword + Shield WH
It's actualyl very good, have to use it right. Culling + Decimating with Myris Uxor. Weapon Master is one of the most potentially broken ascendancy nodes. Sorcery Ward could use buff to only 25% less
@@fr_z_n3727 think of SW taking 50% of ES and armor. Then in trial of chaos you get unlucky with having to take 40 or 75% less defenses. All you’re left with is life at that point. SW should be reduced to 25% for sure
I can confirm that i felt more tanky with the Sorcery Ward + ES/CI it was a very nice mix of protection. I cannot feel the same right now with the current setup [High-End ES/CI Concentration/No-Swap] but the DPS drastically raised up. Still unsure if the switch was the smart choice but with all the divines i currently invested i might as well go till the end >
i think rn going tanky in a way is not good as bosses and or mobs have 1 shot or high damage to 1 shot you going ress cap and doing high damage possible is the best rn b tier builds b for balance are not doing well enough in the late game as of now. 100% effort for you to compete with an a tier build
this video is way more informative than all your other xbow guides because its an easy way to understand the decision making process, thx

you just deserve way better than this dude ... thank you
Yah i hope there are big buffs to this class and the skill tree. Witch hunter just feels sooo underwhelming with its ascendency passives.

@ Wind Dancer + Scavenged Plating do add back that ES/Arm but you're right, it's too much
Why call it a 5 link when it only has 4 slots for gems?
5 link means one skill gem slot and four support gem slots in a socket, if that makes sense.
comes from the poe1 pilled gamers out there, it kinda makes sense if you know how gems are in 1
In 1, a 6-link includes the main gems.

Well, you can always get more es/Eva and go sorc ward on the new setups
they really ought to buff sorcery ward
why didnt they just give make it a second energy shield
