What are /r/Diablo3witchdoctors' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Your crit chance is way too low as you lose too much damage from it. You have no attack speed on a single item which makes you deal way less damage than you'd think. Also Illusory Boots are an absolute must have item for the build to work well.

So ... Roll attack speed on Barber - Get Illusory Boots - Frostburn with attack speed - wailing host and litany with atleast double stat preferably tristat - hellfire amulet with atleast double stat preferably tri stat - replace witching hour with a 45%+ version - Also I'd use Andariels with Cold Damage and 15% spirit barage over Jerams and the Belt in cube. Just cube Jerams instead exept you go for solo pushes. And get 15% spirit barage damage on helm boots and offhand ... ALWAYS

that's basicly what i'd do in the order I listed things.

https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Casheew-2189/hero/96814079 compare with my gear - I do 95s in 3s in 7mins and 100s in 4s in 7mins depenind on who of my friends is online. But I'd assume that you can easily do 80s with your current gear or even 85-90s in 4man however not on farm speed levels :p

hey dude, here is the stuff:

a guy named raijin -his/her armory link- climbed the solo WD leader boards with this new build in the past week. he got to the #11 spot (for Grift 41) in EU at first, but he was bumped a bit down by jade wds since then.

• the main features of the build are a Tiklandian helm with a diamond in socket for CDR, a 4seconds Homunculus, and preferably a SMK. (he has been trying to increase his dmg further with changes to pants and boots. he had cain's pants and boots, but changed into pox faulds and illusory boots since his ranking.)

• you need %12.5 CDR on helm, full paragon points for CDR, and another %8 CDR on another item for dropping horrify to ~7.9 seconds. basically, you horrify non-stop.

• play style consists of running into monsters with spiritwalk while horrifying and rooting monsters for 8 secs and doing whatever you want while they stand still. provoke the pack is there to bump your dmg higher before your fetishes chop down the elites like empty trees. that's it.

i found this video by another guy as well: video

(please don't mind his rather stupid enthusiasm.)

i hope this helps.

Without smk: replace slam dance for zombie dogs with final gift. Sacrifice/provoke the pack is a really nice damage buff

This is my farming gear and build. You're missing garg% damage on chest and shoulders, crit damage, sockets on jewelry and legendary gems. Just by your socketed topaz's, I can see you've only just begun.

Your gear will come, upgrade as best as you can, just keep farming, push greater rifts as and when until you can leech in t13. People are flying through them now, some games even for myself, all i do is loot.

Edit: I cleared 78 Grift with helltooth garg build. Imo stick with one build for farming, and collect gear for LoN, same as myself.

You keep posting a forum topic.

This is your profile.

Ideally you want to jump to a different set than Zuni, despite the buff, IMO. There are some strong builds in the side-bar.

If you want to stick with Zuni for now, I would recommend some variation of Zuni Gargs.

I came back to RoS after finding it in a store for € 10. Decided to level up my old WD to 70 and started researching builds/gear after hitting a brick on T1 with shitty gear.

Had good masks "drop" from Kadala (Good Carnevil, Good Tiklandian, MoJ). Decided to go with my 91% non ancient MoJ and aim for a pet build. Started crafting cain's and Aughild's since those are pretty easy to get and got lucky with an ancient MoJ drop. After all this I jumped to T4 & T5 consecutively after seeing the pet build work really well.

T6 seems to be going ok, but I feel like I take too long to actually be able to really farm rifts and start pushing GR's. I know I need a decent weapon drop but I haven't been lucky to have a good one drop yet.

Could use some help on gear rolls to see if I made big mistakes and also some tips concerning what part of my build to focus on right now.

Thanks in advance.

This is my pet wd. I currently don't have any issues running T6 and Grifts till about +-33. That's when it starts getting hard. I mainly have issues with survivability (in the Grift) and I'm unsure if my damage is a bit low. My fetishes are only hitting for 10m, despite that I think that my gear is alright.

I would like to up my damage, I have no idea what would be best to have as a goal. Only thing i currently have in mind are blackthorn pants.

So, what should I focus on getting. What is pisspoor or needs a reroll. In the screenshot I included some of the other items I have. Is my build bad? Whatever tips you can give are appreciated.

Ran with this build for the memes https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Setriath-2132/hero/87128638

A proper Zuni build would have damage to push higher, but the fun thing is you're insanely tanky with that build.

I had a worst gear than you when i beat it. I rerolled for % gargantua damage on shoulder, torso and mojo, and i've levelled up my gems to 50. I didn't ( and still don't ) have the furnace. Why you have a dupe Jeram in the cube ? put tasker and theo

https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Casheew-2189/hero/96814079

Depending on what type of clear you are looking for there are a few runs spread far and wide. In 4s it's not much of a deal to play this build however in solo it's something else entirely

That was awesome advice (as always) - thanks. :-)

Already had a Sacred Harvester (Cubed), was able to do a lvl 70 rift already with a slightly altered build.

I was still feeling a little squishy, so added a Unity and cubed the Shortman's Finger - which allowed me to use the movement speed rune with Soul Harvest instead, and just sprint from elite to elite.

What would be a better build to transition into for even higher rifts?

I played around with a LoN build, but my Ancients aren't too good for now so I'm using a couple of sub-par pieces just for the fact that they're ancient (https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/lordbelford-2477/hero/96283274).

Only pieces that would be usable should be the Boots; Weapon and Shoulders.

Trying hard to roll some Ancient Lakumba's Bracers - but no luck so far.

Are there any better builds for pushing higher rifts?

Thanks for the tips, I saw a huge boost in getting a full bonus for Zumi. The switch of Zombie Dogs for Soul Harvest was pretty good too.

I've been able to complete GR 60 in a decently comfortable manner, I can do it in about 10-12 mins without dying if I'm careful, but basically any slip ups and I straight up die. I'm doing ok on dmg, but wondering what the next steps are for hitting GR 70.

https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/lordbelford-2477/hero/96283274

I'd like to get out of using Grasp of the Dead as a main skill, as that would allow me to use a Furnace in my Cube, but I haven't been able to find a good replacement weapon - any advice here?

To get more survivability I could play around with the idea of having both Helltooth 4 slots bonus and Zumi's 6 at the same time, but that would require me using the Zumi Ring, which would mean a huge loss of dmg.

Any insights here?

thanks a lot for the quick reply!

https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/AsteroidC1-2626/hero/60938150

profile is this but normally in solo i put red gems everywhere and cube belt of trascendance, i switch also GF passive for grave injustice, and for shoulder i go with pauldrons with only defensive rolls (no AD).

I still think that if properly rolled Andariel + BOT equipped and Jeram cubed is better then jeram +witching and BOT cubed.

You should get more toughness assuming both helms are rolled with damage rolls...

my goal would be to beat gr 95

Any suggestion is welcome

I have the exact same issues, I watched the video, and it helped somewhat, but i still cant surviva a GR 70. Is there maybe something wrong with my gear? (compass is replaced with acient one with 50 crit dmg, I use int gems as well now, I know harvester is shit) https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/whisnous-2482/hero/91594091 crit ch: 52 crit dmg: 415 area: 100% armor: 9.2k allres: ~1500 If somebody could help me I would be really greatfull, Im starting to get kinda desperate for that GR 75

No worries.

Hard to say really.

Personally I try to run around in circles using spirit walk to move into monks circle. Your HP pool is higher than mine and I die from molten if I dont evade them (100% of the times without ignore pain from zbarb) so I run out of the group and back in, or time them with spirit walk.

Dying from arcane from my experience is based on three things:

• Zmonk having low +heal and not able to heal up the damage taken
• Shitload of Arcanes spawned and get hit by 3+ at the same time and spirit walk on cooldown
• Standing in the middle of arcane (in the flower/spawnpoint)

Between packs I generally have ignore pain from zbarb, but when running without a zbarb it more comes down to me navigating through the rift and asking the zmonk to help me if I fall behind or can't get through.

My armory for gear comparison

https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Zzuck-2263/hero/91277080

I never found spirit vessel to be any good in anything but solo, since if you die once, the chances that you die again is quite high in Groups. The damage output for me is more important (Kill faster, die less YOLO)

Using my "own", don't know if there's any builds out there like it. Here's my profile https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Setriath-2132/hero/87128638

Have made a few improvements since my 83 clear.

Should i reroll Life% to Vit? Or Gold% to Physical Res? Or something else?

Armor in Question: http://i.imgur.com/mWlAvKz.png

Here is my Armory as well but im just asking for the Chest Armor. I know that i dont have the 6p Bonus yet (missing Shoulders or RoRG). And im missing MoJ, TnT, Bracers,Compass Rose, Harvest Weapon and Cat Mojo.

atm I'm missing 5 ancients, which means I got 6 ancients... https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/ImFranny-2555/hero/72479786 This is my gear... I can speedrun 60s, haven't tried harder but I'd say I might be able to make it to 65 with a good rift... Not that high for this season I know but if I had the extra 5 ancients I'm missing, a better witching hour, the anciet pauldrons and the correct stats on the rings I could do much higher :D

Hey guys, WD is my favorite class since vanilla release, because I like summoner playstyles in action RPGs, so I decided to only play WD this season.

I got pretty lucky with SMK drops (3 so far, one well rolled ancient), have a nearly 100% MoJ and trifecta T&T.

My problem at the moment

I've never failed a 46 GRift with my current item set (best try being 9:51), but despite my RNG-luck I've never finished a 47 in time (to be honest I start doing a lot of stupid mistakes because of frustration when I die early in a run and I didn't try 47 too often, so there were act 5 mobs and frustrating affixes most trys)

As I see it now: 47 is possible with a bit of fishing, 48 is impossible (with my current gear)

Questions

1. I use the active/passive skills from Debos sidebar-guide except Frozen Piranhas instead of Piranhado. (shorter cooldown, Templar pulls mobs with Ess) - are there better options?
2. ATM I'm using shards for Amulets and hope to get a decent immunity one - should I rather try getting ancient items in other slots?
3. I try to kill everything. for most classes thats not the best strategy for pushing rifts: How do I compensate for the lack of AoE damage (most classes just try to group mobs and AoE them) and do WDs skip packs (if so, how to do it effectively)?
4. Is a bad non-ancient DoD & Carnevil build better than a well-rolled-SMK Pet build? I tried it only 1-2 times and felt damage was lacking.
5. Are there Pet-Doc YouTubers/Twitch-Streamers to get a little inspiration?
6. I tried Taeguk, Toxin and Pain Enhancer as the 3rd gem - currently using Enhancer. Thoughts about that? I hate the Taeguk playstyle and the armor% isn't enough against burst damage anyway. Or should I rather use just 2 gems and an Int/CC/CHD/Phys% amulet without a socket?

• I'm currently farming public T6 rifts for mats and doing solo GRifts. I can do Level 35s without dying too much, if I won't get double elite/champion spawns with mean affixes. But it takes a long time. I guess I can do level 35s without any pain if I get a second unity.

• I want to reroll my Mojo for +Fetish Army Damage but I haven't had any luck yet.

• My current issue is that I apparently can't do enough damage on whites to chew through them easily. It takes way too long to clear white packs. (Even with BBV up all the time). Also I've issues with the GRift Trials. Even if I change Haunt to Gargantum I only get Level 31/32 Keys instead of 33-35 ones. This is really annoying. Any tips?

• Also, how do you guys get started with public GRift parties? I nearly have all the required Items for ZDPS (incl. Solanium) / TikPet build but I'm kinda afraid that I'm way too undergeared/fresh for 35er GRifts.

Thanks friends.

What do you think I should be able to run efficiently? I just got my Zuni's but still can only run T2 under 10 mins, T3 takes 15ish, I may be doing something wrong or maybe Im just bad at the game. I just think with full Zuni's carnevil build i should be able to run T3 even without Dagger of Darts.

Also any other general tips and environment?

Link to my armoury.

Screen of ingame stats

I consider my gear to be decant but im not sure what to do next, I am currently able to complete greater rifts (on time) up as far as rank 28. I would like to be able to work towards clearing ranks 31-33.

Anything in particular that needs replacing , what I should be spending shards on?

I feel squishy in Grifts especially in narrow areas where my pets can't surround and I spend my time avoiding Elite passives, but I see some streamers with far less toughness than I have farming higher rifts with ease.

What are your thoughts on Pain enhancer vs bane fo the powerful for Pet Docs and which do you think I should be using?

Any advice at all is greatly appreciated, thank you!

check the solo WD rankings in EU: raijin, Grift#41.

he plays the same build, Tiki-Horrify-lock playstyle and not TikiTank.

his armory link.

he does not have Tiki on right now. I don't expect him to keep everything the same and he keeps changing items, naturally, but I observed him everyday (since Grift#41 on rankings) for the past 2 weeks or so and he had Tiki mask on when he got the ranking and since then.

jadedocs keep pushing him below, but he was #11 a week ago and ~#15 these days.

Hey, /u/Andrroid!

I loved the spider army, but finally got my Mask of Jeram! I also got The Tall Man's Finger from a random drop. Still have a long way to do, but I can do T6 fairly efficiently now that I got the mask. Only issue is that my pets keep dying, I've been reading up on it, but I'm none the wiser. Looking at the leader boards, it seems that Jade is still the most powerful (?).

What would you recommend I try? Again, here's my profile: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/KroonBerg-1414/hero/47091103

Thanks!

well I can confirm they do drop off kadala :P I've also had them drop in RiF and I've given a few away keep at it you'll get one, I've had so many I was able to choose a pretty decent one https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/liquidco2-2551/hero/820200

I rolled it wrong but still

Solid gear! Haunt damage on gear is bugged (read this in a couple of places now, not 100% sure). I would personally aim for more CDR so you can nuke thrash more often, I would even go as far as rerolling your helm, offhand and shoulders for CDR (actually I went that far myself).

on solo play I use unity + ToTD, in groups I use Soj + Uhkapian Serpent. I am always using leeching beasts. Don't have any problems in T6.

armory

Thank you, that helped a lot, my profile currently looks like this: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Khazham-2398/hero/2358924

I see your point in getting spirit vessel, but I'm not really sure what passive I should change it for. Also, I did'nt know that leeching beasts' attacks stacked with my life on hit, so that is an extremely helpful tip.

Did someone say WD Elements ?
