Are there any simple leveling builds that aren't stupidly over complicated?

[--->> Marty ---<<]

Looking for a stupid simple build for a witch class.. Nothing too advanced or hardcore coz i'm just a regular filthy casual who doesn't know jack about this game and I suck at this game, so I am looking for something that I can play and just kill ♥♥♥♥ and have fun. Thanks.

Bonestorm was pretty fun, not sure how far into maps it will get you i left mine off at T7 it was doing good i just wanted to try other builds. i'll edit this in a sec to include my supports and passive tree

Ascendancy I took Infernalist the dog was pretty good for survivability as its a good meatshield tank and will shield you for a % of damage you take but i had refunded it to try other things in that tree. If you struggle to get any good wands and focuses you could pick up the Demon form it disables your weapons on use, its more of a cheap alternative to decently good weapons than anything right now. It gives +5 spell level plus a stacking buff/debuff that deals more damage to you and grants you more damage output the longer its active, the node after that limits demonflame to 10 meaning it can only do 5% max hp damage to you and will only grant 150% extra spell damage so with some life regen to offset that 5% you can keep it up forever.

Skills
Bonestorm. Early on near the end of act 1 i was using Pin support plus Scattershot support. Pin is great with this ability as it just locks down enemies preventing them from doing anything. Scattershot "adds 2 projectiles" for bonestorm it doesn't actually make it fire more projectiles, but it does make it charge 2x faster.

late/endgame supports for it are Scattershot, Fork, Ricochet, Supercritical. crit chance 39% and crt damage is 429% It still inflicts pins as I picked up a pair of unique boots called Bushwhack which makes all physical damage inflict pin if you dont get those boots then you will want the pin support as its important. It feels like a shotgun that just blasts everything in a general direction and locksdown anything still living.

Second skill is Combat frenzy with Profusion support combo'd with the Resonance keystone from passive tree (right next to that big crit tree on the right side of screenshot) This means Pins I inflict will generate Power charges. The Bonestorm consumes power charges to cause secondary explosions on every projectile, and it looks like those projectiles make an explosion every time they hit so thats on hits plus bounces from fork and ricochet. So imagine you hit a guy with 20 spear size bonespikes each of those explode then fire away from him doubling to 40 projectiles bounce off the ground making more explosions and hit everyone around him exploding again. its just fun

for equipment keep an eye out for +spell level, +Physical spell level (bonestorm is a physical type spell) +spell damage, +physical spell damage, +crit damage and +crit chance. Its not super important to get all those on everything, it will be in endgame, the build works well enough with + damage and crit.

To be honest,you have already spent your time almost 100 hours and you still did not even reach mapping I guess ?

May be instead of trying to find some class that suit you ,Why don't you just focus on a single class first.

It seems like you have been trying to find something that easily to play with your time.
The problem is .....there is no such easy class ,every classes have their own traits.

Beside ,the game is not complicate at all if you are using someone's build,it was properly designed ,so you don't need to understand a damn thing.

Just follow and find the items,equip the same gems.spamming the same buttons.
