Quite a number of the available passives only affect a single element, or only Minions.ĭefensively, the Witch with a pure Energy Shield focus surprisingly has one of the most effective defenses while Evasion and Armour only work for physical attacks, Energy Shield works for absolutely everything except Chaos damage and there are even items that can prevent that it can even protect against damage from Traps such as those found in the Labyrinth. It would be best to choose and focus into only one of the above builds, so that you can get very powerful skills instead of a mix of weak ones. This can be fairly effective in PvE but has proven extremely weak in PvP, as the minions have extremely predictable and avoidable movements and are very vulnerable to classes with decent AoE attacks (like other Witches of other builds).

Fire Witch: The Fire skills are typically focused on dealing raw damage, both through direct effects and Damage Over Time.There are effectively 4 separate subclasses of Witch based on what passives/skills you focus on: In general a Witch can be a very dangerous class, but also quite difficult to build. The armours associated with the Witch's intelligence are circlets, robes, fabric gloves, slippers/boots, and spirit shields, and her typical weapon is Wands. She is a leery friend, and a dangerous enemy. In addition to pure damage-based magic, the Witch can also cripple and kill her enemies with curses and diseases. Her tremendous will surrounds her with a shimmering barrier against physical and magical attacks, a barrier that must first be pierced before the Witch herself is vulnerable. She wields the power of raw magic to decimate her foes from a distance. The Witch is Path of Exile's pure intelligence class, making her an unmatched master of the elemental and dark arts. Many have, and they are counted among the burned and withered corpses in her wake. Though she may look frail and delicate, do not underestimate her. These are the tools of the mighty witch and she wields them with a reckless power she can barely control.

They burned her home and drove her from the village. They pointed fingers, pulled their children away and whispered in the streets.
