[WH] Regen/Defensive Witch Hunter

[Faction69]

I have a concept for a build but I don't want to farm the gear for it. Basically, Blessed bullets of purity with sanctified bullets tactic. You do nothing but 1 combo point finishers to proc blessed bullets which heals you and does ok magic damage. Same concept as regen WE with its damage procs though undoubtedly weaker. For gear you'd just use the standard regen WE gear with city dungeon slow proc and DOT weapons

Something like this: RoR.builders - Witch Hunter

So basically you just do builder, 1 point abso or whatever other finisher over and over and over with flowing accusations. This way 2/3 of your gcds will be finishers which heal you with blessed bullets and deal around 400 dmg.

This would be comically unkillable in most small scale situations though the damage might not be enough. In the end I'm just not gonna spend a month farming the gear just go to try it though. Maybe someone who already has sov def gear can give the concept a spin and report back?

I play defensive parry build (non-regen) with 3 shields. It is different from you have. We can discuss it privately or ingame. Also, you can pm ingame Zkillissue, he also runs defensive parry build which differs from mine and closer to yours.

Anyone been able to get a defensive/regen witch hunter to work? I've tried several times, but almost instantly go back to my main build after dying over and over. Gersy (thank you very much for your guide by the way, that was a ton of work and great information!) doesn't even mention it, as it wouldn't be a meta build at all, granted I'm not looking for meta, just something to change things up a bit.

It seems that to get it to work would be a much tighter margin for error on gear selection/spec vs speccing a regen WE (which I also have), which is brain dead easy. I have tried multiple Absolution or Trial by Pain/Seeker's Triumph spam builds for consistent bullet procs, but to no avail. No build, even with +2, allows all utility abilities (Repel Blasphemy, a KD, Sanctified Bullets, Shroud of Magnus, Sanctified Oil, Punish the False) which means there is always a glaring weakness.

Builds I have tried:
RoR.builders - Witch Hunter Modified DG build. Can cycle Trial by Pain and Seeker's Blade to continually have guaranteed combo points and consisted bullet procs/healing. Or no Seeker's Triumph and just Abso-spam with another tactic slot to play with. No heal debuff
RoR.builders - Witch Hunter All the tools you want, but no KD. Same deal with Trial by Pain or Abso-spam. Fervor more effective as additional magic damage here.
RoR.builders - Witch Hunter Swap out Repel Blasphemy for Pistol Whip. Banks more on regen and passive defenses with KD. Needs +2 though.
RoR.builders - Witch Hunter No Repel Blasphemy or a KD, but gain Exit Wounds debuff.

Gear is your typical Fleshrender/Grimshimmer defensive rr points type loadout.

Just curious if anyone has had any success, mild or otherwise, with a build as I'm coming up short and would like another way to enjoy the WH. Any WH names who I should check out? Thanks!

....it could also all be for nought
