I keep getting one shot and don't do enought damage i need help

Why do you play sorcery ward with armor? Go full evasion....

Amour + EV is very hard to play. For reference - on my all armour char I have 30k+ armour with high % of armour to elemental damage & chaos damage and i still die from time to time. On my all EV character i have 80% EV with high deflection and still die at times.

It’s a constant balance, and you usually need to resort to some defensive nodes on the passive tree. The goal is being able to take massive damage from any element/physical and also being able ti recover quickly.

If i am on later tonight i can try to dive into your build and give some tips/pointers.

Are you following anyones build?

While I can’t speak towards the damage aspect as I have never made a Witchunter, regarding the defenses I’d recommend getting more life. Something closer to 3k would be more comfortable.

Also 30% evasion is pretty low, same goes for armour. That number for armor should be closer to 60% and evasion ideally above 75%, so maybe upgrade gear and some passive nodes for more armour and evasion.

I’d almost just pick one (armour or evasion), it’s easier and likely more effective to get one maxed as opposed to both of them but both weak; for example I’d rather have 80% evasion or 70% armour than 30% evasion and 30% armour. Someone can argue that point if they would like.

Just started playing an alt witchhunter so im no expert and i play hc play mostly invoker and deadeye. For reference my ranger has 30k ehp the invoker 40k. 7 k ehp is campaing level to me numbers. Prob u need to increase evasion to boost sorc ward.

Going so far to grab those evasion nodes isn’t helping your passive skill point efficiency. Are you following a build guide or doing this on your own? Even general build guides can help you see what nodes are or are not worth taking. You’re also not using the weapon set skill points which holds a good chunk of power. You could have one set invested into Armour break, ballistas, or immobilizing; the other set could then be invested into pure damage or exploiting ailments.

These are the things I would say to or ask myself. Hope it helps!

Don't use hybrid gear for witch hunter. The combined evasion/armor is generally lower than the pure version of each piece. I had a character similar to you and I was using Hyrring Ire for the chest piece with over 2.5k evasion (which is good because you get double evasion if you haven't been hit recently), armour boots and gloves for a combined 1.5k. These numbers make sorcery ward absorb more damage the higher they are. Additionally, consider a better amulet with + 2 levels to projectile skills and increased evasion and armour (they apply globally).

7k ehp is pretty low. I don't have a wh, but I use a xbow titan. I just went full armor and life. With life leech oh flash grenade I feel super tanky.

I would say try and get more life and either go full armor or full evasion.

Going full evasion with a high rolled Hyrri's Ire got my sorcery ward up in the 11k range. Sorcery Ward is a great way to get tanky.

30% armor and evasion is pretty low, on top of only 1750 health.
