New Player - Witch Question

Hello everyone,

it's my first playthrough and I really like the game so far. Thanks to Maxroll's Frostblink Guide, I'm getting along quite well. But I have a question that I haven't found a solution to yet. To use the red and green gems I need Strength and Dex. I have an amulet that gives me both, but I'm still missing a lot of Dex. The passive tree doesn't give me anything here either. Hence the questions where do I get Dex so that I can use all the gems that are needed according to the guide. Thank you very much.

I am in act 3 right now and should start using fire traps now.

There is one passive point right next to the witch starting point, called "Practical Application". It gives you 20 strength and dexterity.

Else you can path to the top left and take the two keystones Agility and Might. Those give you either 30 strength or 30 dexterity.

Those are probably quick solutions for early on. Dont worry that you "wasted" your passive points: Once you have proper gear with the stats, you can use an Orb of Regret to get the skillpoint back.

Thanks a lot. I will try that an progress further. :-) Good Loot to you.
