Path of Exile

Invasion League

Build Progression

For Invasion I am going to be playing a Storm Caller Witch loosely based off of ZiggyD's build. I have modified the build a bit for leveling and then finalized the build for end game.

The following is the skill gem setup one would use for this character.
