Witch

Witch is an Intelligence class whose source description centres on minions, chaos spells and curses. Unearth is its recorded starting skill, while wands, sceptres and occult spells describe familiar equipment and skill routes. A minion build and a direct chaos caster can therefore share a class without sharing their damage links, reservation budget or equipment priorities.

Infernalist, Blood Mage and Lich are the main ascendancy names recorded here, with Abyssal Lich noted as an alternate form of the Lich identity. Compare the actual specialisation mechanics before deciding that a Witch guide fits a desired playstyle. Lich introduces resource and curse interactions that are different from simply summoning more skeletons. Persistent minions such as Skeletal Sniper also reserve Spirit, so their quantity has a resource cost even when they revive. The separate gem page describes that reservation and the Gas Arrow command. When reading a setup, distinguish the minion's attacks from the player's spells and check which one receives each support. A source describing a curse or an energy-shield interaction is not a complete defensive plan. The Witch page establishes the starting identity; the ascendancy, minion and skill pages provide the narrower checks needed to evaluate a dated build.
