I've had great success with Sorcery Ward and Cloak of Flame on my Witchhunter. I run an ES helmet with the +2 evade per ES on helmet node and have 12k+ evade with Wind Ward. With just my helmet (and cloak) I have around 500 ES which fills completely whenever I'm hit from running Ghost Shroud. You can get a cloak vaaled above 40% phys -> fire for reasonably cheap, and there is a node to get 5% phys taken as elemental so you can move fully half your phys damage through your resist and into your ward.
Unrelated, but like eye of winter bone storm can spam debuffs. My Unearth Witch takes the node to put chaos on phys attacks. Wither immediately goes to 50 cap on a half charge use.
Good work! I was considering working with bonestorm clear once I feel my poison monk is finished. Was debating Witch Hunter for the explosion, or Pathfinder for poison+movement while channeling. I thought the poison pathfinder idea would really work, but saw that the hit and explosion portion of Bonestorm are separate :(
@@BigCheese1138 his path goes by the quiver nodes for 80% effect. those + a 270% widow (2-3d) = +350%, so 2 * (1+3.5) = 9. can pump higher with emeralds (5-15% quiver & 3-7% proj chain) but those start 1d ea.
@@s324 oh wow had no idea those nodes/jewel mods existed, thanks for that. i've been using weapon swap widowhail to get a high level bonestorm (level 34 atm) to get a massive ignite with hotg/perfect strike and how i think i can go a bit further without much investment
If sorc ward was just 2 points instead of 4 and did the same thing as all 4 points it could be good/worth getting. But you would need to play life base with Cloak of flame. The ascendancy just feels bad really. Because naturally if you go Go for Culling/decimating strike you should go for the concentration points too. But with them both needing 4 points it feels kind of bad. I've messed around with it myself. The ascendancy has me torn hopefully they make some changes in the future considering not many people are playing it. As for the build cool stuff I was just thinking about doing Bonestorm /bonecage as Im bored of Ice strike. I never would have thought Bonestorm could clear this well.
@@TheViperGuy91 imo chrono is bad only because life is so bad. The recoup is so good (imo), but because the amount of life you can get is so low you're still not protected from one shots despite being a defensive ascendency
Bro all of your builds are so interesting they look enjoyable.. love every single one of them
As with all your builds, i just want to see more haha
Please dont stop innovating, I love every single one of your POE2 vids
thanks man!

I was using the same build on a blood mage, but the clear was lacking especially while leveling. This is a nice workaround.
if you join the widowhail cult for the terrain chain corrupt (and +9 skills, ~180% proj speed), can drop ricochet gem
how do you get +9 skills with widowhail?
@@s324 not sure I can afford giving up the crit but that is interesting

My next build let's go
lm using Bone cage for clear and Bone storm for bossing on a blood witch and its so smooth 5k hp/6k es then over shield on both
@@UmrAl-Tawil4422 yea I did not like bone cage myself but blood witch is likely better overall
@@TheViperGuy91having bone Cage on astral projection support helps make it feel better
Might be a dumb question, but it looks like you are floating. Is that mtx or a skill?
mtx
the interaction with snake ring and terrain chain still working is probably a bug?
dont think so, i think they are seperate mechanics
How is the single target on bone storm with this gem setup? Or do you swap out Ricochet for something else?
no in most situations its a more damage multiplier because u can bounce of walls and rehit the boss.

yea its one of the weaker classes ive played, chrono being the worst overall though, followed by war bringer, and now witch hunter.
How do you pump out these builds?
@@calzord what do you mean? Like ideas?
@@TheViperGuy91 Good ideas, good grind set.
@@calzord 15k hours into poe1 helps a bit :P
Witch Hunter is just so ass really needs a buff
this and acolyte are the worst ascendancies rn
id vote chrono is terrible bad outside of time freeze cheese
