Never played witches before but threw this bg together and plan on playing it quite a bit, tell me what you think and what i should change. thanks! https://poxbase.com/deck/clnCfJClDc93CwaCoPchbCaXcaVcoicwus6Zs8Vs6As3ds4NSns4fs7DrTr1r8r1ae1m
Drop Sarinda, Death Bird, Wretched Witch and Tome of Hate, add another Scrofula, Frostvein Witch, Mysian Lamia and a Soul Reaver for spot-cleanse
Your spellset seems OK, but 2x Mobi seems too much, you should add a Essence Drain and a Soulbane. Festering Wounds is better then Decay because Pain Curse and global damage from UT. Good luck on your games
On the topic of witches, how does this look? https://poxbase.com/deck/ClnCfJclDCwaCoPc9gCaBCaXclxcaVs56s8Vs4gs4IsnS72s7DrTr2Pr1ae14e1me1= I am thinking adding a second claw. Not sure what to take out for it. Thinking dead zone voodoo due to the amount of deadzones. Also, I kinda wanna use undead crone with punishing aura (I wanna use ap punishment) but can't seem to balance my BG and its rune roles. Opinions?
It's for the ap denial. Several of the witches already punish ap in different ways it just adds to it. Follows the ap punishment tactic. What would you have to say about the undead crone? I wanna use her, but idk about it. Cackling witch and her compete and I love both on paper. Witches are a theme that I seem to want to cram full of stuff I don't have room for
Imo Dark Seductress deserves a spot, considering today's meta envolves alot of magic damage, I'd swap coven for it. It's a really underrated rune. Also I would find room for another Hourglass and Essence Drain.
As much as I love the art for DS (one of the best for the early runes) I have never been able to justify her over other options. I am taking out 1 soul bane for the essence drain. And I don't think 2 hourglass is necessary. Sadly that's how it feels each time I play them. The aura is just really good. Here is my logic for each role and please weigh in on them: Scrofula: just really good for the cost. Surge brings some damage especially with how much dmz I bring. He also can feed summons to the follower Cackling witch: font rush/interference. The aura is awesome but I have a hard time choosing her other upgrade (not sold on rabid) Coven claw: amazing finisher. Considering two but I don't feel she is survivable enough to rely on. Elsarfirefiend swordsman is a great beater with exploit. Haven't figured out which upgrade is better in his other slot. Voltary: bring dmz zones and his signature pain curse. Commander is awesome too Forsaken follower: not the greatest rune but she is good against swarms and summons and is just efficient. Frostvein for alt damage, good DoT and drudgery. Inkblight as the best tank ever for the theme. Malefica fo dark healing Rip witch for amazing damage. Enervation for aoe damage Chains for CC Despoil for dmz and Nora grab Soulbane for finisher Grimwell for ap denial hourglass for healing Doll for depression on a tank Reaper for immunity counter Helm for more ap denial The other choices I didn't list they are just standard FW picks. I don't run UT due to space and since I am not running festering wounds for the combo.
Hourglass doesnt provide healing, it gives exploit (+ dmg and ap refund for each atk against cursed). Also, if you go for exploit with swordsman your basically removing it's synergy with hourglass. I use him with fear and Magic atk. Magic bomb is great vs. high def, but since I run a foul rite module and soulreave thats not a problem to me.
I would recomend you running Caclking Witch as you don't run that much DMZ. That's what I running at the moment
