In a dark period of history, when hysteria and prejudice were rampant, a chilling phrase echoed through villages and towns: "Immolate the witch." This harrowing command was a call for the ruthless persecution and execution of individuals believed to possess supernatural abilities or commune with dark forces. Originating during the witch trials of the late 15th to the early 18th century, immolating the witch was seen as a necessary act to rid the community of evil and protect its members from harm. The paranoia and fear that fueled these trials often led to the wrongful accusation and wrongful death of countless innocent people, mainly women, who were accused of practicing witchcraft. The accusation of witchcraft often stemmed from superstitions and local folklore, as well as the natural fear of the unknown. Women who deviated from societal norms, particularly those practicing alternative medicine or displaying eccentric behavior, were often targeted as witches.
Edit: after trying to get a helm that would be good enough to try and start crafting on, I'm realising this is quite hard and will be really expensive, the best thing u can get without spending a ton is Minion damage + Minion level + more elemental, as u can't get the spell crit (so the stuff that requires crit is irrelevant). Buying a base that is ilvl86, with shaper and elder influence (which is needed for the really good damage upgrades through immolate, hypothermia and crit) is like 7 ex+, then rolling with ess of horror in hopes of hitting the right combo to start crafting will take several more ex (i've already dumped in over 3), and then the crit mod stuff from harvest is rare and/or expensive (if buying from other players) which is necessary to make the rest work.
Chills are applied from cold damage hits no matter if it s crit or not freezes are applied from crits and crit chance is not scaled in the build in any special way so it s rather easy-to-craft extra mod. Well - if we swap to skitterbots chill and shock would be easily applied even stornger than default and ignites are still applied by spectres so Ele Focus is still legit.
Women who deviated from societal norms, particularly those practicing alternative medicine or displaying eccentric behavior, were often targeted as witches. This discrimination highlighted the deeply ingrained misogyny of the time, where being a woman was synonymous with suspicion and danger. Once accused, the accused were subjected to torturous interrogations and trials.

advertisementConfessions were often extracted through brutal means, including physical torture, sleep deprivation, and psychological manipulation. Those accused were presumed guilty from the outset, and confessions were considered the only means of salvation, though they often led to a gruesome demise. The method of immolation, burning the accused at the stake, was a particularly cruel form of execution reserved for witches. This act not only ensured the physical suffering of the accused but also conveyed a symbolic message: the complete eradication of evil within the flames. It was believed that the witch's communion with the devil or dark forces would be broken during this brutal act. The consequences of immolating the witch extended far beyond the individuals who perished in the flames. The fear and paranoia ignited by the witch trials left a profound impact on communities, damaging social cohesion and sowing the seeds of distrust and suspicion. Families were torn apart, neighbors turned against one another, and the fabric of society was irreparably damaged. Thankfully, as humanity progressed, rationality and empathy began to prevail, leading to a gradual decline in witch trials and the eventual recognition of their unjust nature. Today, the phrase "immolate the witch" stands as a chilling reminder of the dangers of unchecked prejudice, misinformation, and fear. It serves as a stark warning of the destructive power that lies within human nature and the importance of compassion and understanding in overcoming such darkness..
