What stuffs for Witch?

[Nepo]

Hi!
I play witch by this guide: http://pathofpoe.com/builds/view/summoner-witch-9-zombies-3-spectres-8k-life-zombie/
But I dunno what gear should I get on early levels, I got really bad (IMO) now and my def is really low at lvl26 now, here is my gear now: http://i.imgur.com/rje2pCS.jpg
What should I change on it?
I run now freezing pulse + raise zombie + raise spectre.

oh man not another one ... please change just everything in that guide ... most of the guides are people that buy crazy gear on ebay and just rule the game with overpowered items .. at some point they decide to make a guide with a /facepalm spec just to show of and brag with their awesome stuff .. please dont follow guides on the internet ... most noobs will recommend you that .. but its just not true .. you need a spec that works out well with garbage gear .. the best tip i can give you here is .. make a build on your own .. realy its not as hard as it seems to be in the beginning .. you may need a second char .. but this one will be good then

first of all ... 30%hp will get you nowhere .. you will be frustrated even in cruel difficulty .. hell may even struggle at normal dominus

second .. you either go for life OR energyshild as a main healthpool .. for a beginner i highly recommend life, because the gear is cheaper and easy to find because life can be on every item .. energy shield stuff is a special type of armour
also your minions use life .. and therefor a vitality aura is highly recommended .. double profit here for you and your minions

third .. dont use summones and a spell .. at some point you will figure out that freezing pulse makes no damage any more and is just useless, because your whole skilltree is built around minions .. and not spells .. of course you still use and active skill and not just watch your zombies do the work .. u use temporary summons in that cas .. "summone skeleton" as tanks if you struggle .. and/or "summone raging spirit" .. both will get full benefints from your skilltree .. a spell like freezing pules will not

and you want to have auras .. ppl will like you in groups because you got many awesome auras .. and you want that auras for your minions anyway .. so double profit too

thats my summoner build that carried me through merciless hardcore .. and it was a walk in the park .. just for you to get a basic idea ..
this build only needs one single cheap unique chest armour
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Cloak_of_Defiance
its a cheap low unique that costs about 4 chaos orbs but gives a hell lota defense.. but you will need to trade for it
http://poe.xyz.is/
you will easy be able to afford that at this level .. 1 chaos orb = 16 alteration orbs = 2 fusing and so on .. just dont use your orbs on low lvl crap .. safe all of them for the endgame

the rest of the gear doesnt realy matter any more .. you can utilise several armour classes and make use of anything .. you want life/mana/energyshield .. if its an armour or evasion piece of gear that might be good? .. put it on why not .. doesnt matter .. it its easy to get the elemental resistance up to a point where you will survive when you can use multiple types of different armour .. and not rely on a single armour type
also use this
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Arctic_Armour
you will get that as a quest reward as witch ..

Thanks for the answer! Im not familiar to the trades yet, I dont know how its even working.. I dont want to start a new Witch again, I will paste here my current skill tree.
And for the gears what do I want? For the wand most spell dmg % or what? and what options should I look after on my other clothes? The most Armor/ES/Evasion?

Heres my current skilltree:

And my main question is the gears I should use that I described in the post above.

delete that character and restart .. might sound a bit harsh but its not worth respeccing a lvl 30 character not even a lvl 60 one

also there is no need for a screenshot to post a skiltree .. just copy the url, it includes the spec


also spelldamage does not increase the damage of your minions ... spelldamage is a worthless stat for a summoner .. and so the weapon doesnt realy matter .. just get something with a manareg and maybe some resistance if you find that

also as i already explained .... you do NOt want to rely on a special type of armour if you are poor .. and you are .. you will not find upgrades if you specialise the armour type and so you will hit a gear wall in early merciless or even earlier if you have bad luck

the arctic armour skill will be your armour specialisation that does not rely on a certain gear type

energyshield or energyshiel hybrid items are good for the spec i postet .. but not necessary
get life and elemental resistances on your armour pieces .. dont care about the type

a build that works out for a good geared character will not work for a not geared character .. thats a completly different skilltree in almost all cases

use this build is awesome! http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/458054 (it is actually but really but really expensive)

Aside from the trolling yea make your won build but one thing that I recommend is to always have a bit of Item rarity on it because it helps a lot to make money for those op as hell builds

exactly what i meant .. if you are at this gearlevel you realy dont need a guide anymore .. this is only some dude that wrote a "guide" to brag
at least its a solid built that makes sense ....
the build the op postet in the summoner guide is a catastrophe for any gearlevel

Okay, thanks for the answers! I really dont want to start over again the game, your posted skilltree is barely covering my skilltree, my question is how many respec points will I get?

Another question:
Whats your opinion about this build? http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/811707
I know it isnt summoner but may I try it on another character, it says cheap and begginer friendly that fits me :D

Any build that requires a six link, not to mention his unique shield, is not beginner friendly. While starting over may seem to drag on, it is significantly faster than trying to respec... especially when such a low level.

As for respec points, you can achieve 18 over all three difficulties. 21 if you choose to eliminate all three bandit lords. (You will reach that in act 2)

solid beginners build .. incinerate + arctic armour is also a very good combination against reflect .. good defensive stats .. i would scrap the long road to mom and would go for cloak of defiance here too .. and spec some damage instead, but in that case its just personal preference .. it will work out without the cloak too so you have no troubles with trading ..and it does not rely on an armour type

also lets you some room to experiment with different spells .. there is no real downside if you once choose to use something else than incinerate .. if you get mana issues due to lack of gear you can switch it out for fireball or whatever spell you choose
solid core and good flexibility but dont expect massive damage without good gear

the dude in the guide has nice gear of course .. but its not necessary for this built . he does not lie in his guide at that point .. a 6link is not needed to get this to work, neither is the unique shield .. but a 5 link would be realy great at some point .. but im pretty sure you can play this even without a 5 link to the end of merciless and start with maps

i would recommend to get the life/mana nodes first right after the eb+mom combo though

[Nepo]

Well I dont have any chaos or stuff that I can trade with yet.

What spell do you think I should use alongside with the summons to not just stay and see the minions do the stuffs?
Flameblast maybe?

This is the build I am using. It got me to about 65 100% self found.

At that point I did need to buy a 5L. I bought a white 5L for 4C, alch'd it and that got me to 70. Bought a 6L for 20C.

So at this point I'm 73. In total, I have spent about 50C on all the gear I have. I did not craft any of it (beyond alching the 5L I bought). I sold most of my crafting orbs and that's where my C came from.

One thing I personally found is that FirePen seems to work FAR better for me than added lighting damage. So that's what I've been using. I found shock to be far too unreliable and bosses are often immune to shock - they're NOT immune to penetration.

Feel free to chat me on Steam. I may have some noob gear left over.
