›Introduction

The Enchantress can be built and used in a variety of ways. From helping low level characters gain massive Fire damage to progress through the game to enchanting herself and Zealing through the Chaos Sanctuary, there is a large variety of builds stemming from this one Skill. Check out your next team's composition when playing with some friends and maybe you will find a spot for Enchant to shine.

›Enchantress Stats Discussion

The following section discusses how many attribute points should be allocated to each of the primary stats.

How much Strength Does an Enchantress Need?

Enough for gear — for a Character using a Spirit Monarch Shield this will be 156 Strength as that is usually the highest Strength requirement for commonly used gear. If choosing to use another shield with lower Strength requirements, then adjust to that value. This number constantly changes based on the equipment you are using, so make sure to double-check the Strength requirements of each piece of gear you have and how much Strength each piece will provide once equipped.

How much Dexterity Does a Enchantress Need?

Enough for gear. Dexterity is great for increasing Block Chance but if you are not planning to invest points to max that out, it is often not worth adding any additional points.

How much Vitality Does a Enchantress Need?

Everything else into Vitality — 250+ Vitality. Every excess attribute point should be allocated to Vitality, as long as you can meet the Strength requirements of your items by the time you wish to equip them. Not only does this increase your Life total, but it also increases the chance for Health Potions to double the healing provided. On top of that, the more Life you have, the less chance you have to be put into Hit Recovery, helping your character out even more!

How much Energy Does a Enchantress Need?

Nothing — allocating stat points to Energy in a final build is universally considered sub-par for almost every character due to the widespread availability of Mana Potions. While leveling, if you find your character struggling with Mana, you can allocate a few points to Energy that you can then remove with a respec later in the game.

›Enchantress Sorceress Mercenary

You can either choose a Defensive ( Holy Freeze) or Offensive ( Might) Act 2 Nightmare Mercenary here depending on if you want a slower pace and safety or damage.
