With the buffs to WD in the last patches I think it is time we re-evaluate their potential. Not only are they very strong now; but their gear is cheap as dirt because there is not many WD at max level in comparison. I know there must be some people who use the WD for botting! Please tell us your experiences
 
I agree, the forum is screaming for a witch doctor guide post 1.05.

As a newly dinged 60, grabbing a last breath mh with life steal on it from the ah will up your survivability 100 fold! Unfortunately it cannot roll a socket with life steal :( but its handy to use until u get some decent gear.

Ok thank you!
I know there are quite a few very knowledgeable people on WD we just need to coax them out :P
 
the question you need to ask yourself 1st is, are you wanting to be high damage build or high survivability build? Then you start gearing from there.

Survivability Build: Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III
Runes on Dogs, Garg, Spirit Walk and Soul Harvest are all optional. Soul Harvest can also be replace with Spirit Barrage - Manitou with a small tweak to trinity for more damage.

Gear - you are looking for high resist, loh and attack speed.

Helm - Mempo of Twilight
Neck - good rare with loh, attack speed, int and vit or Blackthorne's
Shoulders - Vile Ward or good rare with high int and vit with all resist
Chest - Tal Rasha's with decent vit, all resist or Zunimassa's Marrow with decent vit
Bracers - Lacuni Prowlers with int, vit, all resist
Belt - good rare with high int, vit, all resist or Witching Hour
Legs - Blackthornes with all resist or good rare with vit, int, all resist, sockets
Boots - Ice Climbers, Zunimassa's or good rare with int, vit, all resist
Rings - Int, attack speed, loh
Weapon- Good rare with loh and 1.50 ish attacks per second
Off hand - Thing of the Deep for the 20yd pickup radius and good stats.

High Damage Build - BEAR SPAM use any of the bear spam builds on the trinty page or if you have LOTS of gold to spend you can do a sacrifice build.
Gear is built around Crit Chance, Crit Damage, High Int, and a Life Leech weapon. Goal here is to kill it before it kills you.

GEAR: Recommended 4pc zunimassa's for the mana regen for Bear build. Sacrifice build requires zombie dogs cooldown reduction ring and helm. Goal is to get dogs down to a 1 second or lower cooldown.

IF YOU ARE WANTING A GEAR LIST FOR BEARS OR SACRIFICE, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL FIND THE BEST POSSIBLE AND LIST IT.

Alright Bears build.

Grave Injustice Build - Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III
Requires you to have grave injustice / critical mass box checked in trinity

Good beginner bears build, do not check grave injustice box.

GEAR: High Crit Chance , Crit Damage with Life Leech weapon

Helm - Zunimassa's Vision with CC and high Int
Neck - Good rare with Int, Vit, CC, CD / Trifecta / Quadfecta / Tal Rasha's with CC and CD

Chest - Zunimassa's Marrow with high Int and Vit
Gloves - Good Rare with CC, CD, Vit, Int, All Resist / Trifecta / Quadfecta

If you want to do 1h and Offhand you can but Skorn is the clear winner.

Hope that covers what you are looking for.

awesome, repped - thanks for the WD build/item recs! I'm thinking of trying out botting a WD.
 
1h oh can be better then skorn for sure.. it just cost more gold
 
Maybe this may be a stupid question, however im new to botting and i would like which of the 2 Guides you posted "Buzzalot" is the most cost efficient? Just so i can figure out which one to go for.. If there is 1 of the guides who you would recom for beginners i would also like to know that..
Thanks :-)
 
the Acid Cloud build is probably cheaper as it doesn't go for crit. Think I threw maybe 130m at my beginner to get just about all of its gear, tho that was months ago so probably cheaper than that now.
 
130 mil :O! thats sounds like quite alot considring i got 2mil to spend :( And i cant find the Acid cloud build? Is that another build or is the the Acid charger build.. Im sorry if im misunderstanding something ;)

My trinity version is 1.7.2.12, there doesn't seem to be a grave injustice / critical mass box to me...

Changelog 1.7.2.9:


More fixes for not-attacking stuff after a single attack is used
Removed UI checkboxes for WD Grave Injustice and Barb Boon of Bull Kathos, as the passives are now auto-detected

Bro... It seems like I don't need to update my trinity.

But ty anyway :)

Right on Bro! ;)

So, are you still using .12, or .9? (which version works best for you?)

Thanks bro! :)
 
Yeah the grave injustice box and things has been taken out since I posted the guides. The guides were from when Giles was running the trinity plugin and that has been quite some time since that. Alot has changed in trinty for the better so far as it just keeps getting better.
