Seriously, the OP-ness just exudes from my WD like a bad taste from the night before at RedLobster.
Spent a full month farming T4 Ghom on my barb before he had the gear to take T6 Ghom in under 30 seconds (around 28seconds now for a kill?).
Spent 5 days leveling and then gearing my WD. He's now up to 61 games/hr with instant-leave Ghom on T5. He stays full health the whole time, and has half-assed gear.
Leeching dogs + 15 second Fire Garg + 67% Fire dmg + 66% dmg to Elites. Literally just random items I picked up leveling and/or afk-farming Ghom on T4 with the WD for 3days.
[Forum bugged out before after I had corrected my math. Correcting it YET AGAIN!]
[Removed 15% from WD base reduction I thought they had already]
[Finished math below]
I can also see the potential to be even more OP with better gear, here's why:
-You get another 15% damage reduction from a Passive.
-You get another 25-30% damage reduction spread to your dogs from UHKAPIAN SERPENT.
-You get a passive that will regenerate 1% of your total hp per second but 10% mana costs of your spells consume HP instead. (With a pet build that isn't Notictable at all). [Concentrate high HP!]
-You can get the LifeLeeching dogs Rune which gives each dog on-hit 100% of your life-on-hit. So if you have 10,000hp life-on-hit then with 6 dogs that's 60k hp per time every dog attacks, not counting you.
-If you're lucky enough to find TWO Unity rings you can add an additional 50% damage reduction so long as you have the Legendary Following item that makes them immortal (I have 2-3 for each follower at this point now).
Total makeup with a proper build:
Say Ghom hits you for 10,000
Gets 15% from a Passive: 8500
You can get 10% from life-link rune with your dogs: 7650
Another 25% from having Uhkapian Serpent: 5737
Another 50% from Unity with Follower: 2868.5
After all added resists we end up being hit for 2868.5 before armor and resistances....
Now, factor in your Armor and Resistances.....yea he hits like a bitch now while you're regenerating about 60k to 100k per second. (My WD, with 6 LOH dogs, and BloodRitual, gets +93k hp heals per second since i have 602k hp).
I can infinitely tank T6 Ghom above 80% health, never using a potion with half-assed thrown together gear I haven't finalized yet (note: I only have ONE Unity so far so im only getting the +% to elite dmg from it so far). However, I kill him in about 43seconds which is slower than my 14 Second T5 Ghom runs currently (burst dps dies too soon on T6 to take me the rest of the way so it slows down around 20% a LOT).
Witch Doctor in multiplayer games with random pubs is hilarious too. My WD sits there keeping waves of enemies off everyone else while i just stand there chatting. So broken
