What Skill build, Routine, Set, Plugins.. etc Do You use for act 3 with witch doctor? Thanks
 
I honestly wouldn't run a witch doctor, to get even decent gear to use them would cost a fortune and then on top of the that they are really gimped atm, but try to check out some of the wizard plugins and stuff they could be useful.
 
WD is one of best classes to farm now imo, you have 5 pets to tank for you plus insane amount of loh. I do use Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III build and my stats are:

All resist 900+
Dmg 25k
Armor 4,5k
Loh 1,2k
Dcl 2,9%

Testing Trinity plugin and so far looks good. I do die maybe max 6 times during whole run.
 
Do WD's focus on any crit damage or crit or pure Int damage
 
thanks im gonna try it

I'm running 800+ res all (much higher physica)
3.7k armor
5% crit
82% crit damage (will be getting rid of this with upgrades)
1.7k lps
1.2k loh
19k dps
53k health.

I clear Act 3 with 2-4 deaths per hour.

Skills build etc?
 
i just built a WD last night, bought some gear which put me at

25k dps unbuffed
800 AR
1400 LOH
600 LPS
45k HP
5K armor
10% crit
50% cit damage

and i still have 3 more slots left to fill, gloves, ring and boots

Im noticing so far its soooo slowww compared to Barbs. cant say forsure if its efficient enough.

For all you WD vets,

Is LPS really that important? Because I cant decide if i want to focus on Crit & Crit damage with " Bad Medicine "

or LPS and Thorns with " Fierce Loyalty"


also regarding pets, do they get the benefit of your LOH, and lps without Fierce Loyalty?, because it states 100%, but im unsure if they get any % without that passive. noob WD as you can tell i literally made one to experiment Act3 runs

Using it works pretty fine.

Does not seem to cast acid cloud? Are you using gilestrinity plugin, right?

Why it mine not casting it?

Did you upgrade the plugin to 1.1? 1.0.1 did not use acid cloud, but 1.1 focused on ALOT of WD adjustments.

Pets do not benefit from LOH but they do benefit from LPS with Fierce Loyalty. As for crit / crit damage over LPS that is a choice you need to make how ever if you decide crit over lps then you should run leeching beasts on your dogs so they heal up a bit more aswell as healing you a bit.
 
So this thread shoul be bumped, i want more info frm you guys

Im now running my own act3 bot, without problems. (surely it does die 6-12death/hr)

But it seems it uses so much time killing trash, even when i sat trash radius to 5 or even lower.

Those summoners in skycrown really uses alot of time, wonder what to do.

Here is my stats:

para lvl 35+
armor 8k+
hp 43k+
dps: 35k+
Life on hit: 1,1k+
Life pr. sec: 1,3k+
all res 800
crit: 23%
crit damge: 100%
PR 20(good for health globes)


So my all res is to low?
 
my stats are as follows:
Armor - 4800
HP - 45k
DPS - 23k
LOH - 1434
LPS - 2126
AR - 902+
Crit - 26
Crit Damage - 100%

I was doing 1-3 dph including Azmo til I added more dps and lost 14k hp. Now I am getting like 6 dph. I personally think I will drop the extra dps and go back to my 61k+ hp
 
hi everyone.

without even botting...
let me give you an advise.
safety wise the witch docter is the safest and maybe even the fastest char to level up on diablo 3.
even BEFORE the patch came out.

people playing the WD used zombie bears and splinters.....
well thats was pretty f...kin stupid.
i started pretty early to build around LOH, att spd, and insane amounts of stun / freeze.
the effect?? the then still weak pets didnt die ether couse they werent touched ( pre patch )
diablo almost stood frozen in place 90 % of the time ( pre patch AND now to )
the LOH was insane life didnt deminish at all becouse of the ticks in attacks ill explain later ( now and pre patch )
the dmg ?? about 57 k with pierce the veil and 75 k if i add the 5 soulharvest.

now the tricky part is...
yes ofcourse gear..
right now im using insane expensive gear but thats not nessacary.
with about 20 to 50 milion you would do fine.
just remember LOH RES VIT is primary then comes dmg...
ill post my gear here now.

zunnimasa helm( set bonus 3x 130 int + 55 res all)
268 int 99 vit perf star ruby in socket 10 % life + 147 max mana

zunnimasa armor( set bonus 3x 130 int + 55 res all)
3 x socket ( perf star topaz) 148 int 78 vit 77 res all 47 arcaine res

zunimasa offhand ( set bonus 3x 130 int + 55 res all)
sick version 60 - 380 dmg ( not that much ) but 190 int + 240 vit? that did it for me XD

blackthornes pants
for the LOH and 10 % life mostly

WEAPON(s)
sever:
slain enemys res in peace .... main stat i wanted running my own profile ( can be found in this forum as well ) and want enemys to stay dead when i kill them

Azure wrath:
weapon used for other profiles where no ressurectables roam a sick 21 % attack sp boost and 14.8 chance to freeze makes it a weapon that keeps the char safe almost all the time.

Reach memonery ( sickest weapon ive found sow far ):
found this puppy 2 days ago , one handed spear 1335 dmg :P and some stats and the fun part... lvl require reduce by 6 it can be used for a 54 char.
puts my dmg buffed and all at 75 k +

sage seekers
all res and high int

lacuni prowlers:
for attack spd inc also 20 res all


ring:
326 LOH 65 res all attspd inc 8% + 73 int

ring:
89 vit 301 LOH att speed inc 8% 60 res all

amulet:
650 LOH 66 res all 99 int 96 vit 33% mf

belt:
80 res all 120 int 123 vit 3% chance to freeze


gloves:
attspd 9% int 117 78 res all 90 vit and 4.4 chance to stun

shoulders:
114 vit 177 int 77 res all

stats now....
with sever :
45 k base dmg 59 k with 5 soulharvest

with azurewrath:
44,7 base 58 , 6 stacked harvest

with reach memory 57k+ base 75k + stacked.


67500 k life
2200+ loh
830 res all ( without harvest ) with soul harvest near 900

now how to build / compile into a char that never dies ( very very very rarely dies)

skills:
main rain of toads ( by far the best skill for LOH proc that is maintainable by mana nerf )
secondary acid rain ( you must go to the combat routines for WD and change the acid rain to work like zombiebears ( cast until mana depletes then Rain O T) )
under this line: new CastOnUnit(SNOPower.Witchdoctor_ZombieCharger, ctx => ((DiaUnit)ctx).ACDGuid),
add this line : new CastOnUnit(SNOPower.Witchdoctor_AcidCloud, ctx => ((DiaUnit)ctx).ACDGuid),
zombie dogs :fire dogs ( increases freeze proc )
spirrit walk ( set bot to use it for movement ) : jaunt
garantuan : big stinker ( increases freeze proc )
soulharvest : soul to waiste

passive : pierce the veil ( extra dmg )
: jungle fortitude ( dmg red )
: vision quest ( get mana fast for grea AOE attack acid rain )

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
last note the LOH and freeze seem kind of low
but with azure wrath and all the gear combined i get almost 25% disabling attacks at 2.3 att per sec.
do the math XD

LOH:
most important stat if you want to live... that 2200?? you can multiply that by 4 easily if not more ( rain of toad ticks / acid rain AEO + ticks )

try this build out and youll be satisfied.

i will respond to well build critisism not to childish remarks.

pps; sorry for my bad english.

this gear is ^ prob close to 1bil if not more, not feasible for the 99%, even at 50 million this build won't do enough damage with out really lucky AH sniping.

I like the idea, I don't thinks it's very viable until you cross the godly gear threshold.
 
thx for your reply mate...

and yes you are right this might be close to a bilion..
but i wouldnt know for sure couse i found most of it ( atleast the set gear )
as for 50 mil?? thats more then enough to get a near immortal WD ( i help allot of WD to get there gear straight ) but ofc it won't be like mine..
your right again tho in the fact that you sometimnes need to be lucky on AH for that... but nobody should offer rediculous prices for gear... it only makes 500 milion prices apear more frequent witch is bulls...t
im just showing some options here where to aim for iff posible.

Lytylisius, great thread. I wondered if anyone else here ran a acid spam build like me. I have been using this build ever since i came across it on the d3 forums few months ago.

Mine is setup a little differently to you and not as well geared i guess.

I don't have any zuni set items (yet, too poor).

Armor - 5400 ( a few +armor items)
HP - 46k
DPS - 47k unbuffed (max 85k with 5 stacks soul harvest and 5 stack gruesome Feast)
LOH - 1600
AR - 750 unbuffed (gruesome feast pushes this pass 900+)
Crit - 30% (+5% on acid cloud)
Crit Damage - 200% (need to upgrade my weapon and gem in it to get to 290%)
+88 mana per sec ( 114 with vision up, planning on 4 piece zuni for that +20 MPS)
5.6% chance to freeze all up.

I focused on + mana regen, crit and crit dmg. my reasoning behind it was less attacks = less mana used for more dmg with crit.

Tweaked Trinity to suit as well.

my skills:
Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III

i get 0-4 death per full act 3 run now. really depends, i get unlucky with freeze arcane/ vortex molten etc...
(1.05 should fix this as i don't use jungle fort and they going to nerf all inferno dmg by 20%. LOL WIN)

I am going to try your long act 3 profile next week when I get a chance.

how long do u take to do your run in full ? Gona compare to see how long it takes me :p

Mate, great work and thanks for sharing. any tips/ideas will be great.

thats working for sure...
but i use as much attacks as posible to proc LOH as much as posible 2.3 att per sec at the most...
but now ive offered 13000 000 on AH for a weapon that makes the WD even more powerfull...
last breath with dmg converted to life...
up to one milion critical hit ( slain enemys rest in peaces crits 10x ) that would be 2.8 % of 1 000 000 = 28000 life steal on kill...
just an advise ;)
greetz, lytylisius

PS....
just tested gruesome feast for myself 120 k dmg :O didnt use that before thx realy boosts even further INSANE
