Minion and leveling Witch build in PoE 2

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent navigating the labyrinthine realms of Path of Exile, I can confidently say that this Witch build guide is a godsend for squishy sorceresses like myself! The combination of minions and spells outlined here has the potential to turn even the most frail of witches into formidable forces.

Following some technical hurdles, Path of Exile 2 has arrived, offering players an engaging gaming experience. Naturally, the initial step is to select a character, and surprisingly, many enthusiasts have opted for the Witch. Unfortunately, her minions aren’t particularly durable at the moment, leaving the Witch quite fragile if not carefully built. Fortunately, we have some tips on how to fortify her.

Leveling Witch Build – Active Skills for Witch

Minions

  1. Skeletal Warriors – it is no brainer. You can have these minions for free from the scepter. Moreover, as your character is squishy, it is a good idea to have someone in front of you to take the hit.
  2. Skeletal Snipers – later on you will be able to summon more minions, however the Poison shot is quite a powerful ability, which can be even useful against bosses.
  3. Raging Spirits – it is an ability which you can get after finishing the Ominous Altars quest and killing The King of the Mist. For that, you will get an Uncut Spirit Gem. Of course, it is not the only one in the game, but it is the earliest one. Once you use this item, you will be able to pick this skill. It makes you summon skulls whenever you use a fire spell.
  4. Unearth – while it is a damage skill, it can also rise dead bodies into minions. While they live for a short time, they can be summoned in a great number.

Useful Upgrades: Minion Instability (it makes them explode)

Other Skills

  1. Flame Wall – especially useful with Magnified Effect, which makes it bigger. It is essential skill for Raging Spirits, as it is the source of them spawning.
  2. Contagion – it debuffs and deals chaos damage over time. Moreover, it goes well with Unearth, as if the opponent died with cursed by Contagion, risen corpses will also spread the disease on hit.

Leveling Witch Build – Passive Skills for Witch

Keep in mind it’s simple to appreciate your abilities. If you’re unsure of how, we provide a helpful guide for you.

For the Witch character, developing Passive skills isn’t a challenge – enhancing damage dealt with spells and minions should be your primary focus. Additionally, the speed at which minions revive is crucial for gameplay efficiency. Furthermore, boosting their maximum health is essential. Lastly, investing in Intelligence from time to time can provide additional benefits.

Leveling Witch Build – Items

  1. Offhand – It is crucial to equip Scepter with bonus to Spirit and the Skeletal Warriors ability on it.
  2. Armor – Spirit and energy shield are crucial. Additionally, all items which will strengthen your magic abilities (mana and Intelligence) and health (regeneration and maximum) are important.
  3. Wand – Chaos Bolt with bonus to damage is a good choice.

How to Play Leveling Witch Build

  1. You are not a frontline character, send your Skeleton Warriors first.
  2. Use the Flame Wall to keep yourself safe and summon Raging Spirits.
  3. Once there are some corpses on the ground, use Unearth to raise them (you can use this skill even if there are no corpses, as it deals damage).
  4. Don’t forget about Archers’ gas arrow on command.
