I like Acid Rain more, no special reason

Do you think +20% Poison Damage on Jeram's Bracers, instead of +20% Fire Damage, would make any difference? Was thinking +Poison because of Acid Cloud (Acid Rain) and Piranhas (Piranhado) , or is it better to have +Fire?

edit: forgot about Lob Blob Bomb also being Poison

What legendary potion do you recommend or prefer for this build?

 

[BuckNekkid]

First and foremost, props to taras for putting in so much work. Basically saved this program and diablo 3 in general for me personally.

What kind of exp/hour are you guys seeing from this? I'm able to do 57s currently and it seems like I'm getting below 20b per hour. DBs exp/h seems like it fluctuates so much that I'm not sure if I should read that as accurate, I'm guessing it's keeping track of the exp within a much shorter time frame and then calculating that rather than the actual running total?

your main dmg source is fire wall thats why you need fire instead of poison

What epic potion do you recommend or prefer for this build?

20% armor is Bis

slow burn dot stack, if you switch on that maybe will speed abit your runs

How do you guys think this build would compare to the version on Icy Veins "Witch Doctor Acid Cloud Build with Helltooth (Patch 2.3)"

The Icy Veins build uses Legendary Gem "Iceblink" instead of "Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard", and takes advantage of the Iceblink gem through different runes on Acid Rain and Corpse Spiders, and the a rune both builds share, 'Languish' on Soul Harvest.

I'm wondering if this post build beats the Icy Vein's build in human play and/or bot play and vice versa

I don't have the gear currently to compare them myself

 

[deathtroll]

why suwong over scrimshaw/henri's?

Bot handles this build better imo.

 

[Minseok]

That build should work alright. Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard gem seems kind of whatever when it comes to higher rifts (for the bot, human play should benefit from it a lot).

Would be possible with the Iceblink gem is you could roll element% on your amulet and just use the 10% crit chance from the gem. You could end up with 40% of a single element + 50-55 % crit chance.

I don't see any major differences with the current bot. It needs to be able to kite better, but it screws up quite a bit. I especially hate when there's molten bomb and your character just runs on the edge of it and it explodes on you (not all the time, but it happens). Although, the slow from the corpse spiders might help a bit..

----
This build, I've finished only 1-2 61 GRs..just too many deaths to ever actually finish in an efficient time in most rifts. I can run 55-58 pretty frequently within the time limit. This might be just due to only being a 760 paragon level..you also need to get a bit of pick-up radius on your helltooth gear to benefit from the gruesome feast.

This build is really nice for speed farming too

I'm just using WoD instead of ZC.

Edit: Thx for adding WD builds in Trinity 3 !

I tried the build using Slow Burn along with Bane of Trapped, IceBlink, and Esoteric combo as some have suggested.

I was able to go up 3 levels while clearing faster.

I do seem to die less which is a little different than what I thought would happen.

What is everyone's DPS and toughness, unbuffed? Also what GRift levels are you clearing?


1.8 million damage, 20 million toughness here. 60 Grifts consistently, 61 not so consistent.


Edit: Anyone try using Frostburn Gauntlets with Slowburn? it's a 45% chance to freeze on cold skills in the cube.

1.9m damage, 32m toughness..I'll try that build out. Frostburn might be cool, but you'd have to sacrifice convention..or the focus/restraint.

ive done 61 in 11 min tried a 63 but exorcist absolutely destroy me, pretty much 1 shot me, so im gonna try a 62

 

[Justin657]

what Follower should i use with a WD with this kind of build would love to try a WD out this session!

 

[Gigofar]

Running the Templar with Suwong and Enchantress with ZC build.
The bot made a 64 rift with this build and 61 with ZC !

 

[TwoCigars]

Testing out Frostburns in Cube, much slower and dying much more often.
