Request: Witch Doctor guide for trinity botting

I changed my bats to 15yds to stop the movement issues and bot t4-t5 ghom ( yes even with my crappy dps) without any problem
 
I have 37% poison damage.... any suggestions for running a pet/poison build for Act 1 Bounties/Rifts?

Will try your build today :), how about your stats? i have 1,2mil dps and 6mil tough with 18k healing.,no specific items yet:( looking for jeram and sets for pets :)

running on T1 if no deaths will be switching to higher.,

Now it seems i have mana problem for your build :( how much mana regen is necessary? :)

Sheet DPS does not affect your pets whatsoever. lol

totally disagree with that bolded statement, I bot T4 adventures, hell rifts, nepehalem rifts etc... with absolutely no issues whatsoever and no deaths with my WD and I am only average(ish) geared (and only 220 para)

AIO build:
Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III is the build I use for everything that is NOT single target
(can swap firedogs for leeching, I just choose leeching for guaranteed survival when botting)

ST Build:
Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III is the build I use for single target or when I am playing :)

Paragon setup: (post 200)
I) everything into INT
II) everything into Aspd until cap then CHD
III) life regen to cap then resist all
IV) LoH to cap then Area Dmg

Please note that I am talking about EFFICIENCY not CAPABILITY. WD have the capacity to farm bounties, rifts, so on and so forth. Every class does. But what is MOST efficient playing as a WD (And what I mean by efficient = greater benefits for the duration of time invested).

Single Target Farming. You can farm a WD to farm t4 Ghom in a single day or two at MOST. To have a WD farming other profiles at t4 will require much more time (In retrospect to your RNG luck :D).
 
can you please post a POISON/PET WD Build that works? Ive been testing .26 but fetish's don't want to spawn with any of the builds i'm trying to produce...

Running Bounties/Rifts.

Please?
 
is there any way to tell it to only use fetishes on elites.
its using it every time its up.
and he summons a gargantuan when the other one is at 100%.
this is trinity 26.

I just started trying to use my WD more, have never played one in the past.

Joka666 I'm using your single target build and it is working great for me at T2, was dropping him in about 7 seconds. Attempted T4 and just got destroyed by him. My question is with this build what time of gear/elemental damage should I aim for. I have never played a WD usually use three muskateer profile with my Barb but ive seem a lot of people posting good results with a WD as well so wanted to give it a shot. Any advice on this would be great!
 
with latest beta and trinity .26 its even casting army on the corrupt growth.
So I dropped that (which is pure bs) and tried haunt. Now he uses haunt on the damn things.
In combat with elites he will stop everyting to go destroy a growth..basically trinity is a mess.
I have never seen it not destroy a growth, but now someone says OH IT DOESN:T work so they go crazy fucking it up.


my WD is 275 dps and 4.7M touchness with max resist and I can't find anyhting that works with the bot running any level of bounty/rift
using jeram helm with dogs and army which should roll over anything but with what I am seeing with the bot I can't do shit

HELP

Like every class the higher your DPS and toughness the higher the T level you can do

my WD atm is 7m tough & 1m sheet dps (+99%MoJ +42% T&T gloves) so I can melt T5 ghom in 10-15 secs (depending on RNG gods)

If you are killing him ~10 sec on T2 then I would say stay on T2 :) farming is more about Games Per Hour than higher T level (50GPH T2 will give better lph than 20GPH T5)

also I have been using Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III recently for ST boss fights, although only the piranhas deal poison damage as it is a short fight the boss has perma -20% dmg :)

ok I have changed my WD builds to something that feels much more optimal for botting:

Witch Doctor Pet Builds:

All In One build:
Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III is currently the build I use for botting everything (NOT single target )
(you can swap dogs from leeching to fire if u want more dps, I just choose leeching for guaranteed survival when botting, in adventures/bounties/rifts you have pretty much 100% uptime on Garg & fetish due to the cd reduction of Grave Injustice)

ST Build: (a.k.a 3 muskateers build :D well just Ghom really as that is the best of them for gph and lph and exp for paragon levelling)
Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III is the build I use for single target or when I am playing rather than DB


GEAR:
you can use these even in green gear tbh, just better gear = higher torment ( although I would advocate botting T1 on any adventure for speed as GPH = LPH imo :) )

Items you REALLY REALLY WANT to make this build OP are:
1) Mask of Jeram - Game Guide - Diablo III (can have upto 100% pet dmg with this)
2) Tasker and Theo - Game Guide - Diablo III (can have upto 45% pet attack speed with this)

3) if you manage to get Homunculus - Game Guide - Diablo III then drop zombie dogs for Soul Harvest - Game Guide - Diablo III with Vengeful Spirit Rune for even more dps (slight drop in loh healing) but you will never ever run out of dogs because of this mojo :)


Stats

Attack speed - CC - CHD - INT - VIT

Paragon setup: (post 200)
1) everything into Intelligence
2) everything into Attack speed until cap then Crit Hit Damage
3) life regen to cap then resist all
4) Life on Hit to cap then Area Dmg or reduce resource (your choice)

DPS: You want to aim for as much attack speed as you can stack (affects pets) 40-50% crit chance and as much Crit Hit dmg as possible
Tough: Resist then armor then vit ftw

What do you mean by the "Attack speed Break"? great build, just not sure what I should stop attack speed at :) ty
 
Task of the gloves from kadala and helm of Jeram is needed for WD ghom. Hands down best items for WD ghom.
 
Bossen2750 thanks for posting that.
Boxsalesman (the video you linked) was one of the best builders and guides on POE its great to see him in D3.
I will have to try that build.

danielmahan he explains it in the video.

Bossen2750 I saw in the video where he was walking thru a group of whites and boom they all just died.
what was that?

Here is the list of breakpoints, if a breakpoint says for example 1.66667 ,
try to have 1.67 attacks per second in your details so you're sure you hit the breakpoint and are not a tiny fraction short of hitting it. Always round up !

I need some setup or something.
Running firebats on a zoo build and running out of mana.
The bot is constantly casting firebats which is good ( it cost nothing but the inital cost) but he keeps repositioning himself about 1/2 step and recasting and of course the recasting is costing mana.
at 300 mana every shuffle of 1 foot this is killing his run times in bounty and rifts.

Do I have something set wrong or do I need to replace firebats with something else or what?
I have changed firebat range from 8 to 20 and no difference.
I know the bot is trying to shift to have target in range or most mobs hit or something but I can play this T3 in my sleep but on T1 the bot can't quit shifting.
If it was killed a pack and moving that would be ok but again he will cast a sharknado and start melting them then shift to the left 1 foot and cast again.

Make sure you have move out of AoE disabled or it will constantly reposition

I have also found that trinity .25 seems to work far better than .28 with regard to Ghom ST kill, .25 casts BBV and fetish earlier than .28 does for some reason, basically your dogs, fetish and garg should be on ghom so he doesn't move then your char will cast vampirebats and stand there channeling, I do T6 @ 950k dmg, 6m tough and ghom drops inside 15 seconds everytime using .25 with no deaths, with .28 it is hit and miss and usually at least 5 deaths an hour!

@kakalolz that is quite an interesting build gonna have a look at (but with my 99% MoJ, 45% T&T etc... I think my pet build will still outdps it for me)
