After playing a bit with it while Contagion WAS on blood magic, I honestly don't see it work smoothly at all.

Contagion is actually not that big of a problem, quite expensive abyssal cry is more annoying. The key is putting whirling blades on blood magic.

And if ES pool is still an issue, switching to 4l Abyssal Cry-Contagion-AOE-Blood Magic solves ALL of the problems.


First of all Contagion is our most used skill, you want Faster Casting on it for sure.
Regardless, ok so if i put them both in blood magic I can just drop the Dreamer node from my passive tree and spare 2x skill points, why bother EB?
You could do this links setup and be just fine with 85-90 mana un-reserved.

To link my tree after using EB in order to 'spare' points I need to waste some points again, so I don't realy spare anything (maybe 1 point) and even then I skip Faster Casting on my Contagion.

Not worth it in my taste, but if it works out for you so sure, maybe Witch can do it more easily.

hello, i'm leveling this build right now on talisman. Lot of fun really.
I've some problems with colours on gear. I don't have enough currency for 2x3off colours, so i'm wondering if i drop alpha howl and the third curse the build will remain end game viable with only 2 curse (enfeeble/vulnerability+temporal chains).
Also Doedre damning over windscream?
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Doedre's damning over Windscream since Windscream literally gives us nothing but the +1 curse. Instead, you can buy rare boots with high life + 30 movement speed (or Atziri step).

Yes, you can go dual curse until you manage to sort your sockets.

I was thinking, this build plays a lot like a Caustic Arrow build, meaning most of the damage comes from the gem level of Essence drain.
So, aren't there any 6l items with +1 or +2 gem level where we can put the Essence drain setup?
Maybe a +2 to socketed chaos gems?
Also, I think a corrupted empower with +2 to supported gems level would be the best investment for this build.

Frankly I have thought about using a staff with +1 to socketed + 1 to socketed chaos gems but:

1) barely any in market.
2) very expensive.

So I couldn't test it yet.

As for the empower, not sure what you meant. we're using empower on our ED links.

Yea, I figured it would be very expensive.

With regards to empower, I was talking about how you can buy a lvl 3 or even 4 (corrupted) empower, which could increase the build's dps by a lot, instead of a lvl 2 empower.
But naturally, a lvl 3 empower goes for 2 exalts, and lvl 4, 30 exalts.
So it can be extremely expensive.
I bought it level 2, but im still leveling it.
Corrupted gem still gains exp and can level up.

I took a break from this build after realizing that I needed expensive jewels to survive (sorry, those are nowhere near 20-25c in Standard). Nice to see that you have a Witch variation with a different approach! You abandoned Exceptional Performance and got more +life and even Herbalism. Sounds nice. But losing 45% inc duration - isn't that pretty bad?

Small optimization: drop the aura nodes near Leadership and the INT node, get 4% aura node near Influence. This saves you 1 point. Use it to connect to Deep Wisdom through Practical Application and drop 2 INT nodes on the left. Avoiding interrupts is really nice.
Test in Progress.

P.S : Post Jewels that you are using pls.

@minecrafter, check the 'Gear' section, i added it.

@Kelvynn I'm sad to hear you decided to do that, and I disagree with Jewels being expensive as a reason to abandon a build.
You could get 2x damage jewels and 1 stat that you don't even need, this will do. You could get more HP via passive tree, I could help you make this tree. You could also drop 1 or 2 jewels and take the Chaos damage nodes at the beginning of Shadow tree.

But its your decision mate! :) Glad you had fun tho.
