Path of Exile Solo EB 7 Aura Summoner Witch Build

Path of Exile Solo EB Aura Summoner Witch Build by lllll8lllll

Introduction:
During Closed beta i tested just about everything i could test and was leaning toward making a Ranger but my PC couldn't handle the amount of skill animations that were being casted in groups . So when Open Beta came out i had a choice to make, A) do i want to group play and FPS lag all day or B) solo play and have no issues what so ever.

I choose option B) and after that i had to come up with a build that did very good solo, without depending on really good gear to work.


Passive Tree Build:Click This to see the build. I choose this build since it is extremely safe and can work without good items.

Other Information That you may need to know.
Q: Why Eldritch Battery?
Spoiler
A: This goes back to my PC problem, i cant group play so i had to make my minions stronger than other summoner builds in order to give my self faster killing speed. The only way that this could do done is by stacking more Aura on the base line summoner class. Finally in order to have 6-7 Auras up at any given time then EB is needed.


Q: Which Auras do you use?
A: I broke down the Auras in two groups, (Need and Want)
Need: Wrath, Anger, Discipline, Clarity, Grace.
Want: Purity, Hatred, Haste, Determination, Vitality.

The set of skills in group [Need] were always chosen. But only 2 skills from group [Want] Can be chosen. Right now i use Purity and Haste since i don't have max resist without purity but once i do get better items, i plan on going with Hatred and Haste.


Q: When can i run 7 Auras?
A: To begin with, you can not have all 7 auras up. Depending on your Mana you might be able to do this sooner then me, but i was able to do this at LV17 Reduced Mana + Lv17 Discipline. Before this point i was running 6 Auras.


Q: Should i pick 8% Mana or 8% ES on passive tree?
A: IF you do reach lv80 and want to increase your Mana base for any reason. pick up %Mana keystones. They give you over all more.


Q: What is next after Lv80?
A: At this point your options are
1)Since you already have 258% maximum life; Stacking more life wont do much but still a good option.
2) You can go for Elemental Adaptation, This Keystone + Lv20 Purity + Inner Focus keystone = 85% Resist. This is what i am thinking of doing.
3) Work on your attacking skill. With this build you use X skill to tell your minions which target to kill. So you can work on making that X skill stronger in some ways. X = Any skill that you want it to be.
4) Double Curse route, the second curse will add either survivability with temporal chain or more damage with punishment. Personally i am going for this double curse route after elemental Adaptation and i will use Punishment as my 2nd curse.


Q: Which skill do you use to Order an Attack?
A: I personally like Fire Storm. it is AoE so it can be done from behind walls and doors. To tell the truth i hardly ever cast this. my minions kill targets so fast that i just need to walk. Minion AI is not good and sometimes they just walk around and wont hit the targets in narrow gaps. that is the only time i order an attack with casting skill.


Q: How did you level early on 1-20?
A: I leveled as pure caster witch and ignored minions. At low levels the minions are utterly rubbish; they die as fast as you can summon them. I had the gems socket-ed in to my items but i just didn't use the skills. Around lv25 is good time to start using them. The hardest part of making summoner is the early levels; This part of game goes by very fast.


Q: When should i pick MI?
A: i picked it around lv35 and my build was like this . You want to ignore minion damage% keystones early game, since they dont do much for you early on.


Q: Which curse to choose?
A: Enfeeble is a must have but if you choose to go the double curse route after level 80, then you can add either temporal chain or punishment. I personally like punishment.


Q: How do you cast your Summon Skeleton?
A: I have mine linked to a Spell totem so it is done automatically after i cast a totem. IMO this is the best way and just about every summoner dose the same.


Suggestions:
Early part of the tree can be done in two ways.

Method 1:
Skill Tree

Method 2:
Skill Tree

When leveling, i had Method 1 pattern but once Mana was not issue (around lv74) i change to method 2 and saved one skill point. I think everyone else should do the same. you will have plenty of refund skill from quest to do this.
