Is the Witch version just better than the Necro version for SC? I've heard Necro is more well-rounded as far as tankyness and damage, and Witch is better damage but much worse survivability. Considering the name "Tank Simulator", can i assume that the lack of survivability compared to the Necro isnt quite that bad?
PoE-Ninja also has about 10x as many Necro as it does Witches, so its been a hard decision for me.

i think im going to respec to this, two questions what is your playstyle/rotation? for clearing and bossing? Second, you said necro is more tanky, what ascendancy points would you take and would you change anything else? I love the idea of tanking everything in the game.

Well, it's tankier in that you have true block instead of Glancing Blows Block. I'm starting to back pedal on my opinion of going Necro Instead but it's still viable.

basically you'd take offering effect mastery, more damage nodes instead of GB+Block nodes, and make sure you have 100% chance to ignite.

But the reality is that you lose almost 50% of your damage by switching and I don't think the defensive gains are enough to merit that. DPS=Defense in a lot of cases.

I have also set up the build to take advantage of taking damage from blocked hit with the life recoup mechanic as well. It's a Pillow Fort Defense! :D

If you were to go necro though, you'd take:
Plaguebringer - Corpse Pact - Commander of Darkness - Mistress of Sacrifice.

Ah, bad news: Wellspring of Creation (monsters deal 25% less, have 50% more life) doesn't affect corpse life.

Correct. It should, however, work for the monster corpses of the ones that you kill (rather than the ones you generate).
