You get different quest rewards based on your class. This is only important at the start of open beta and in races. If you have been playing for a few weeks you can collect pretty much every gem in the game.
it was worse when they didn't tell how many monsters was left. you had no idea if you were searching for 10 or 1.

Your build has character, that's for sure. It actually gave me a couple of ideas that I might try later on. Here's some notes:
I think that you're spending way too many points to reach stuff that really won't be beneficial enough for you. Increased radius might sound like a good idea but I think you're going overkill on it. I would save all the filler points and ignore mana regeneration (especially since you already grabbed the one from the templar).
I would grab Inner force, along with the two nodes next to it and focus on auras that will benefit you greatly (Grace, Anger, Wrath, Discipline, Purity etc). Your damage is fine so don't worry about that - your main damage output will come from gear, not from passives. Since you're going 2H, you should really prioritize survivability and should therefore start heading towards the middle parts of the tree (that's where all the juicy health-stuff lies). You can also grab 3x10 Elemental Damage nodes and some life regeneration nodes while you're there.
You have a solid thing going on, definitely. I'm just not a big fan of you going through the Witch-tree with the battle plans that you're going for.
Keep us updated! Also, if you know what gems you're going for, tell us :3
Kinda what I'm going for now, I made alot of Lightning Sorcs back in d2.
Most fun about is that when you crit all your sparks will crit. So for example if you fork it those to will auto crit. It is really amazing and fun to watch as screen is shaking non stop from crits.
I had like 25% chance to crit and 300% multiplier. So you had this boss fight with minions. You spark your way... nothing nothin nothing and BAM everybody dies instantly.

Is Critical Strike and Spell Critical Strike the same in the passive tree? Common sense tells me no, but the cluster in the upper left of the tree tucked inside a witch's int/minion cluster looks out of place if they're not related.
I really enjoyed the meta BS that started going around between krippen & Krukan (Or whatever his name was). Every few videos the fans start up some BS fight or something and Krippen makes a video explaining his part in it.
Use to watch his stream in bed on my way to sleeptown :/

Spell Critical Strike Chance/Multiplier applies only to spells, while Critical Strike Chance/Multiplier applies to everything.
Depend how you create character. I doubt that would matter if you would connect it with crits.
Yeah that's the plan.
Pain ? It's fun !

lol, cybrix died in the race.

When does he not die?
No I mean, I tp to town to sell things and turn in quests. Then go use the restroom, grab a snack or take care of something. Come back and now I need to go through this whole area again.
I hate running past people, and when It happens twice in an hour its annoying. Seriously my only gripe is how they handle portals.
Again, there's a million WP.
There is only one zone that has no waypoints between two areas that do. And zones take like 5-10 minutes.
It's already very casual with TPs and WPs. What you're asking for is like... ultra-casual.

Okay, that's enough PoE for me today... I seriously don't want to burn out before the game's out :lol
Jokes aside, experimenting with so many different things is so fun - I can never grow tired of it!

I get what you want but whole game just have ton of WP everywhere. There is only like one place where you will be using TP that much (vall piramid).

Just started seriously looking into this game, and it seems great. After the open beta is finished and the full game goes live, will all characters and progress be lost?
If so, I can wait until the full release.

This is the "full release". Characters will never wipe again.

Awesome, thanks. Guess I'll start playing as soon as open beta starts then.
Is this game built around multiplayer, or is the single-player experience just as good? Not really interested in playing with others for the time being.

SP is extremely good, yeah.
I'm going all out increased AoE for ground slam to compensate the lack of "range is end-game". I've built this build without the middle nodes pre-913, and the range was pretty far. This is really just going to test how much further I can get. Increased AoE and Ground Slam is the basis of the build.
I've done too much blood magic that I don't know how much that 40% regen node means. I had blood magic in the build before, but it kills ES regen and losing the mana from all that int doesn't feel optimal. I'm thinking having auras eat the bulk of my mana and having high mana regen will be good enough for my Ground Slam build.
Because I'll be picking up that ES leech keystone, I'll probably be looking more at getting more ES.

I'd like one
Man fuck this game I can't decided on an alt. I know I want a sucide bombing minion witch as my main. But for an alt I've got it down to a lightning, lifestealing crit build shadow or a dualist mace build with added frost for stunlocking. Though I would also like to try a templar because the staff looks awesome and I'd like a Hawkeye-esq toon but not so soon after my first caster.
Ugh!
Ugh!

I would plan out what gems you are going to be using for your witch. Then find out which ones she won't get from rewards and find out who gets them.
This will be out of date by OB: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0Anunpnd0-mAudHIxazRvZGpqLXdlQ3JfT0hkWVRjV2c&toomany=true#gid=0
but I would use that. Kripp is making a new one for alpha.

I'm well aware of this, I just don't got the money for it due to my gaming budget other big titles coming out and medical bills x.x/

Somehow I completely overlooked the different League's. Holy shit! Can't wait to play in a Cut-Throat or Attrition league. Cut-throat especially sounds great, but it also seems like it could have some issues.
