'Path of Exile 2' Witch Class Guide: How To Level, Best Skills & Equipment

The early access version of Grinding Gear Games' "Path of Exile 2" has been immensely successful and features six of the 12 classes that will be playable in the full version.

One of the classes that is considered among the strongest in the meta right now is the Witch, which is an intelligence-based class in the game. The freedom that players have over their character's build also plays a role in making this class even more powerful.

This guide gives a general overview of this powerful magic class to give players an idea of what skills and equipment to use and how to level up efficiently. There are also some tips to which passives you should go for to make your character stronger.

Witch Passive Skill Tree

One of the more immersive parts of "Path of Exile 2" is the Passive Skill Tree, which features a ton of different stat buffs and other benefits. The Witch class, in particular, takes advantage of spells that deal physical or chaos damage, according to Game Rant.

This means that you should prioritize getting parts of the Passive Skill Tree that increase these damage types to make your spells do more damage. You can also opt for critical hit chance and spell damage for an overall boost to your clear speed.

Leveling the Witch

In the early game, you should try to focus first on upgrading your physical and critical damage to help you level faster. This is to let you take advantage of the Bonestorm spell. It is recommended that you start by going to the Raw Destruction passive skill and then split it towards Jagged Shards and Practiced Signs.

You then keep going from the latter to get Critical Overload, which buffs your spells' critical hits even further. You then have a chance to get the Potent Incantation somewhere around this part of the Passive Skill Tree.

It is also worth noting that when it comes to stats, you should try to have enough Dex and Str to wear useful gear. You can also invest in Skeletal Warriors to help you out, Sportskeeda said.

Equipment for a Witch

When it comes to weapons, a Witch can make use of scepters, particularly ones that have high Spirit value, as well as the Skeletal Warrior Minion ability. This will give you the freedom to spend SPirit points on other types of minions.

If you are looking for a good piece of armor for your character, you should prioritize searching for one that has a good Energy Shield value. You should also look for armor that will increase your Spirit, according to Eurogamer.
