Not very far into the game, mid to late Act 2 with both a Witch Hunter and a Spellbreaker. Enjoying the play style of running up to a group of mobs, hurling a DoT then picking off bosses or stragglers with Nidalla’s Justifable Ends. With the Witch Hunter my build is pure poison (Dreeg’s evil eye), with the Spellbreaker it’s cold (Olexra’s Flash Freeze) for the trash mobs and poison for the bosses. My question is : Am I gimping myself for later in the game by splitting my gear over 2 types of damage or is much better to stick to one. The reason I ask is that of the two I much prefer the Spellbreaker…
Ya you’re gimping your self. There are no legendaries or sets that support cold + poison…
Pick one to build around.
Thank you!
You are not gimping yourself by splitting your gear over two (or more damage types). You are gimping yourself by focusing your gear on increasing a specific damage type.
Both masteries give enough % increase to damage that you really shouldn’t focus in for gear. Focus instead on OA, total damage, resistance reduction, attack speed and adding more constant damage types. Since damage is additive each 100% does a lot less for you than to just add additional chaos, vitality, etc. damage to your attacks.
