Witch Dex

[ShipfusAreLaifu]

I found some armor I like but my Dex isn't high enough. I know the witch is Intell driven class but is there way way to up my Dex as well?

[geistXIII]

Well yeah, take some dex nodes on the passive tree or look out for equip with +dex ^^

[yampot]

There are the +30 dex nodes on either side of the witch tree, but a Jade Amulet would help on top.

[ShipfusAreLaifu]

Thanks, I'll look for the nodes again!

What about wands? I'm still using the starting wand and I'll level 11 since I havent found any new ones.

[Papaya]

You seem to be really unlucky. The game throws masses of driftwood wands and goathorns at me.

[ShipfusAreLaifu]

That's lame. I really need a new one. All it gives me is swords and clubs.

[Nodoka]

dex nodes or you can get a dexterity amulet as a temporary solution

wand drops can be a bit hit and miss, and really the vendor is the best place to get a new one.

How are you going to find a rare wand in the store, by using alch on one? Thats a waste of currency.

[ShipfusAreLaifu]

The vendor hasn't had a single wand the entire time I have been playing as a witch.

The wands are sold by a seperate vendor. Not the same one that sells armor and swords.

But don't buy or waste currency on a wand in the shop.

[ShipfusAreLaifu]

Yeah, I just found out where they was sold. And they aren't very effective?

[Nodoka]

Not really no. I barely ever pick up whites or blues unless they are either 6 sockets or 3 linked with 3 colors for currency.

What league are you on I might have a few wands that you could use.

Also, you might want to consider a Citrine Amulet. You can pick one up at the NPC for cheap then orb it. Gives Dex and Str as the main stats, would be a good and cheap stop gap between you hitting up a major off stat node (look for the +30 dex and str nodes if you can)

Generally speaking, if you are going a caster witch, and are avoiding any dex or str areas, might want to keep a watchfull eye on your naked stats, and keep those stats in mind when upgrading skill gems.

Sometimes youll swap out of a piece of gear and it will cause that gem you just leveled to be unusable due to changes in your stats.


Also, you should be picking up more stuff and selling it at the NPC. You are going to want to build up a stash of orbs, even if they are crappy ones. You could have baught a wand at an NPC, then transmutted it, making it blue, then rerolled the stats on it to something you like...for next to nothing in cost...and often those items are pretty damn good early game before you need resists and life/mana stacked.

Also, its good your screwing up your first build on a witch since no one likes them. WHen you reroll using a premade build off the forums the gameplay change will be nice and you will be impressed with how much more fun the game will be. Took me a couple self made character to figure it out, now i tweak premade builds to my liking.

I would focus on building your bank and getting familair with the game, then head to the official POE forums and pick out a noobfriendly build (noobfreindly means you wont be required to have expensive uniques or six linked items to make it work) and follow it exactly. It will really help you learn the game.
