interesting, last breath + life steal... great idea.

Let me know how you go with that. very keen to see.
 
I been thinking of Last Breath myself but I haven't found a good one with toads damage on it and over 1k damage. Also what did you change in trinity Colossus?

I had to make a few changes prior to Giles adding more functionality for WD in trinity like Spirit Walk for movement, emergency spirit walk etc. But the main one i had to change is Acid Cloud same as Lytylisius. I wanted to spam acid cloud till i was out of mana then cast primary. (ideally i wanted it to cast 1 primary then start spamming Acid Cloud to maximize vision quest up time, But I don't know how.... )

I also changed Spirit Barrage at one point when i was using Manitou so it didn't constantly recast.

Changed recast rate for Gargantuan as i noticed it was recasting too often and in battle when his still alive with full HP.

that's pretty much it these days cause giles have been awesome with updating his plugin constantly.
 
what exactly did you change in the code for acid cloud as i can not find the line of code Lytylisius posted inside of trinity.
 
Would like to know what Colossus did in trinity to do the acid cloud spam as I prefer not to switch back to multiple plugins to do the job of 1 plugin. If I cant get the info I may switch back and do the Belphegor code fix then.
 
I changed it to the following:

// Acid Cloud
if (!bBuffsOnly && !bAvoidanceEmergency && !playerStatus.bIsIncapacitated && hashPowerHotbarAbilities.Contains(SNOPower.Witchdoctor_AcidCloud) &&
// Stop from spamming same skill twice in a row
//powerLastSnoPowerUsed != SNOPower.Witchdoctor_AcidCloud &&
// 1+ elites within range, or 3+ greys within range, or current primary target is an elite itself
//(iElitesWithinRange[RANGE_30] > 0 || iAnythingWithinRange[RANGE_30] >= 0 || targetCurrent.bThisElite || targetCurrent.bThisUnique || targetCurrent.bThisRare || targetCurrent.bThisTreasureGoblin) &&
//GilesUseTimer(SNOPower.Witchdoctor_AcidCloud) &&
playerStatus.dCurrentEnergy >= 172 && playerStatus.dCurrentEnergyPct >= 0.3 && PowerManager.CanCast(SNOPower.Witchdoctor_AcidCloud))
{
if (bUnsafeCasting)
return new GilesPower(SNOPower.Witchdoctor_AcidCloud, 35f, vNullLocation, -1, targetCurrent.iThisACDGUID, USE_COMBAT_ONLY, USE_SLOWLY);
return new GilesPower(SNOPower.Witchdoctor_AcidCloud, 45f, new Vector3(vCurrentDestination.X, vCurrentDestination.Y, vCurrentDestination.Z + iThisHeight), iCurrentWorldID, -1, USE_COMBAT_ONLY, USE_SLOWLY);
}

As you can see I commented out a lot of the code around # of mobs in area check, Fast cast check and also increased the default cast range. But i left the mana check in.

this should allow you to spam Acid Cloud till you run out of mana then switch to primary. Hope this helps.
 
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.

I full agree w/ Wgiz, i play with underachievers with pets and runes with life steal oh i run with life regen my pets dont die coz they share my regen hehe

This idea, + less garg/locust/hex/barrage recast rate, and other small improvements, coming in next trinty.
stay tuned
 
Lytylisius how is Last Breath working out for you? I am still in the hunt for a plague of toads damage 950+dps one myself. Just trying to figure out if it is worth it to go for it or just go for a regular loh weapon with more attacks on it.

New Trinity is spamming acid cloud with the wd grave injustice box clicked.

i have set my LB back on AH wasnt as lucrative as i thought it was.. bought it for 11 000 000 selling for 5 if your interested PM me..
stats 968 dmg 2.8 life steal. 188 intell and some more crap..
greetz, lytylisius


also i would recommend you get a high dmg high freeze azure wrath..
almost 15 % freeze getting up to 2.3 attacks per sec with good rings and gloves... set LOH on rings 300 + amulet 600+ and with those att per sec youll freeze almost any enemy in place .. been testing that works realy well..
 
Ill pass on the LB then, as for Azurewrath I don't have the loh atm to switch to it still working on my rings and amulet and of course the blackthorne legs which I had a pair drop today but no resist all on them. im up to 1.77 attacks per sec and moving it up slowly. At 37k dps unbuffed right now.
 
Lytylisius, thanks for your post.

I have two questions that I hope you don't mind answering:

1) You're stating that you're running with 2300 LOH - would you please elaborate on from which items you get this amount? Your post says ring (326) + ring (301) + neck (650) + blackthorns pants (~ 400) = 326 + 301 + 650 + 400 = 1677. Am I missing something?

2) You prioritize Vit / All res / LOH over anything else. What is your recommendation after those 3 regarding Int vs. crit dmg vs. crit chance?

Regards
 
Humble I think the 2300 is with a loh weapon aswell cause I am at 1900 loh with a loh weapon and a low neck. As for stat after vit / all res / loh go attack speed and int. Crit and Crit damage are nice but not needed with the toads or spiders + acid cloud build. Attack speed is for more loh healing from you attacking more and thats about it.

yup im using 3 different weapon depending on the goal of my game... all the weapons have LOH some even with socket.. with socket + radiant ammy you get even more LOH...

i have done nothing realy nothing to improve my crit ratio...
im using a new extreme improved version of sever..
does over a milion dmg in crits..
with gruesome feast ( witch i recently started using ) and soulharvest i push over 136 k dmg.. sow i dont see the need for crit..
then again with my new gloves and amulet ( tal rasha 275 int and tasker and theo 245 int + radiantstar topaz ) i now push over 2600 int..
its all about preferances... im not a crit type of guy... more a insane LOH Vit RES INT kindof guy:P... but the gear i wear is pretty much as good as it gets and as expensive as it gets..any questions ill gladly answer.. if you want to see me ingame and you are on EU just pm me ur battle tag and ill add you .. might have some "spare"parts laying arround ^^

greetz, lytylisius

Was the first pair I seen with over 200 int on them so I was trying to go pretty high on them but didn't feel like paying more than 10m really since I still have other upgrades I need.
