Best build for WD? Pet or Jade?

[TouchMeGently]

I'm trying to build a WD that can bot efficiently in rank 30-32....any recommendation?

 

[Arotished]

my WD is doing a Pet build and can close Grift 32

Jade is the most popular choice for higher GR.
Check the rankings in D3 to see the setup, but currently trinity is buggy and reports says doesnt use Soul Harvest.
If that is fixed with the update of trinity then, i would recommend jade WD.

I have two WD's. One for pet and one for Jade. My first T6 rift attempt with the bot on my jade WD died 46 times per hour so I stopped that. It seems that Jade is good for manual playing and pet for botting.

thanks for clearing that up.
Every once in a while I go back and play some WD.
PS try a Grin Reaper build when you are not botting. F U N

wonder how hard that would be to build a botting setup for

why is SMK so sought after for pet builds? I've been running 3 piece Zunni's with RoRG which actually works better

Because it's essentially a permanent 30% damage boost + 20% attack speed boost for you and your party. And it helps to keep your FA off cooldown, which is pretty important in GR's.

Aside from what Severance said, you can free your zunni slot for other leg items.
Like for Fire WD, use Cindercoat, Hexing pants, and Illusory boots
You can use, Aughilds or Black thorne set as well, etc.
RORG is not BiS for Pet WD - it should be TMR and SoJ as much as possible since your pet will do everything for you.

I wish I had an smk.
I use Rhen'ho Flayer and T&T gloves on a pet build.
I also have NEVER found a zunni chest piece, that pisses me off LOL

Yep I'm botting my WD again because I want an SMK and strip Zunni's off my WD.

Im getting at least a full zunni set every day...

 

[sparks]

nope never seen one. Yesterday 4 zunni rings 2 gloves and 1 boots.
I spent about 9k gambling gloves for T&T so saturday I did some chest runs.
BAM T&T
but still no chest, I always wonder if some items are flagged on individual chrs.
RNG thats pure bullshit THEY control what will drop and how many.
Been doing it since D2.

I use RoRG on my WD, using 4 piece BlackThorne (pants, boots and amy), 3 piece Aughilds (bracer and shoulder), Cindercoat and MoJ.
