Any dual wield melee witch build viable?

[Kyros]

Been a long time I've left the game, but I'd like to play it again. Last time I gave up because I was trying to make a melee witch but she ended up being too weak.

Any dual wield/2H build viable ? Something not involving Dominating Blow would be great.
Main goal would be just to have fun and clear content, I don't know much about end-game custom maps but if it works there too it would be cool lol.

Easy pal, I already said what I'm looking for while playing PoE. If I'm asking for such build, it's simply because I like melee and the witch character.
Now if you don't want to help it's fine, but no need to post a message then.

Many skills and combinations, but depending on the patches some skills are more powerful and better than others. I said melee witch, I kept it vague because I'm not saying I want to use this skillgem or that skillgem. The only exclusion I made was for Dominating Blow.

Anyway, I guess I'll go back to the official PoE forum.

@op. try a crit frostblade build with 2 binos :) i had so much fun witht this. can see this work nice with a witch though i used deadeye. i cleared maps up to tier 10 with that easily but i lack better gear to move on...

basically any type of elemental melee skill really, i used to run infernal blow with increased aoe and all the fire damage ever or even static strike can be amusing. Theres a lot of ways to go just with a witch its easier to focus on beefing up the elemental aspect of gems as opposed to relying on physical damage.

I think that's the issue I had on my last playthrough, wasted too many points to get some precious physical damage nodes.

It is not a two-handed build, but this wild strike build is tons of good fun: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1650762

Some may not call it viable, but I played it last league and got deep into end-game just fine. Just got to get past some relatively difficult leveling.

So far the melee witch has been my favorite. It's not a brainless death spam - actually have to be engaged in what I'm doing. Though with a bunch of gem supported minions, she's her own war party, and twenty plus hyperactive minions running around leaves slim pickings.

That's what I've been using - a combination of cursing frostblade and mana leeching ethereal knives - so much fun.

Reave's good too. Dual Strike's fun for bullying some of the bigger boys, along with something like Whirling Blades to slash your way out of tight corners.

You could almost run any ele damage melee skill and convert all the physical to ele. The best would be a phys to lightning with vessal of vinktar and it would more than likely be viable. The only real discrepancy is whether you rush resolut techniques or not.

[Nhika]

I think only way to do that is lots of mana for aura's and a few summons for added dps :P

Witch as melee works fine

[Mauseleum]

For example you can go hyaons fury, cospris malice or oros sacrifice and use the elemental nodes to pump those up.
