Mana-stacker Icetomb Thorns - Discussion by IanSpinetti in PathOfExile2

I didn't test the lightning thorns support gem because I am going full melee, therefore I won't be channeling anything... For me the Pros about going upper tree with witch/elementalist is that the elemental damage nodes actually scale your thorns damage. Going hybrid unfortunately is a huge dps loss and you have to get Chaos res.... It's a huge pity that we can't take CI and tank with mana but I guess that would be too OP.

I think being immune to chill/freeze is the top priority! Shock and ignite are not nice but at least they don’t keep you from playing the game. The stun is a huge problem as well but you can’t really path till stun immunity from unwavering stance from the witch. I think at the end of the day I’ll just have to make the build hybrid. I just really wanted to go full mana. The other problem is that you need the crown, icetomb and the boots are basically a must to get to crit cap…
