What's the difference between sorc and witch?

[storm2150]

I am still new to the game and try to figure out, which class to pick.

AFAIK both classes start at the same point on the skill tree. All classes can use any gems, so skills wise they are also equal. I guess that their sub-classes have different skills / passives.

But apart from that is there a more noticeable difference in the early game?

I prefer the sorc. With all necro builds in every game, the minions always lag behind and you have to drag them into rooms/battles. The necro has so many effects too that it may cause lag. The necro can be really strong but I think its better played solo than with a group.

ROFLMAO, clearly you have no idea what you're talking about.

sorcerors are squishy especially in early game - they die lots. Witch is the better choice for a less frustrating experience for someone new to this game.
Minion witch is tankier and much more forgiving right from the start. Sorceror takes a little longer to come together in terms of defence. I played both, and both are lots of fun...but Minion Witch has my vote as most approachable for a more satisfying first playthrough.

If you choose the Infernalist ascension, you get a hound minion that absorbs 20% of damage to you, making survival much easier.

Both classes start at the same point, the but starting areas for both classes are different.

Witch gets minion, physical, and chaos passives. Sorceress gets fire, cold, lightning passives. Some passives also give mana regen or ES recovery depending on the class.

I agree thank you.

Oh thx, I didn't notice that in the begining. I wonder if other classes have different mixes in their trees.

Depending on the physical layout of an individual map, minions can be crammed into a cubby hole while you get smacked. When you have a more open area, the pathing problems aren't bad. You can actually run around in a very odd manner, and usually kind of guide the skeletons a little bit. It's a special skill.
