Hey guys! Since there is a small lack of WD direction on these forums, I figured I'd post what I've been using with my WD to help out those that love the class. My WD actually outfarms my barb and monk atm!

Gear:
Helm- Zunimassa's (with crit chance if you can afford it, if not go high int with mana regen)
Shoulders - 200+ int, a little vit, 60+ all resist
Amulet - 80+ int/vit with 8+ crit chance, and 40+ crit damage (average damage is a plus here; also lower int and add a socket if you aren't finding things in your price range)
Chest - Zunimassa's with as high Int/Vit that you can afford
Bracers - Lacuni's with Int/Vit and 9% attack speed (can find cheap)
Gloves - Lots of options here, I went with 70+ int/vit, 50+ all resist, and attack speed/crit chance (I like attack speed here as bears essentially one shut mobs without crit damage on low mp's still)
Belt - 80+ int/vit, 60+ all resist, pick up radius
Ring 1 - int hellfire
Ring 2 - cheap zunimassa (just get crit damage, average damage, and int)
Pants - Blackthorne's Jousting Mail (as high int/vit that you can find)
Boots - Zunimassa's (get 8% poison damage, and 150+ int, and 90+ vitality
Off Hand - Thing of the Deep (215+average damage, 150+int, 8+ crit chance, a little vit)
Weapon - Manajuma's Carving Knife (80+ crit damage, and as high dps that you can afford)

**Most of these can be had fairly cheap, and though your sheet dps might not be off the charts, it is the build and passives that make this work. My intelligence gets up to 4800 when actually botting, and because of this my all resist goes through the roof. My sheet dps is right around 80k, but buffed the WD gets up to 150k+.

Build
Firebomb - Ghost Bomb
Zombie Charger - Zombie Bears
Soul Harvest - Soul to Waste
Gargantuan - Bruiser
Summon Zombie Dogs - Life Link
Spirit Walk - Jaunt

Passives: Spirit Vessel (a bot with an extra life? yes please.), Grave Injustice, Gruesome Feast

Settings
Choose your favorite alkaizer run, and make sure your Trinity settings are as follows:
-turn OFF attempt to avoid AOE
-set kite distance to "0"
-set globe health to 95+
-check the Grave Injustice box
-set trigger range for non-elite to "30"
-only loot 63+ weapons, 60+ jewelery, and legendaries (that's where the money is anyway)
-set minimum gold piles to 1000+



That's it! The WD class with spirit vessel and bears was made to bot! The pick up radius on Thing of the Deep and maybe one other piece ensures you will hardly ever miss any gold.
 
One more thing!

I run with the enchantress, and just put magic find gear on with The Grand Vizier. I have also swapped out one ring for a hellfire ring just for a slight xp boost. She is really only there for the attack speed, armor, and bonus magic find.
 
To make sure this was a decent guide, I just bought a set similar to suggested for under 5 million. Sheet DPS was 85k.
 
I also run on MP1. Make sure you have turned off avoidance of AOE, and set your kite range to "0" (very important for zombie chargers). Are you running a life% gem, or an XP gem in helm?
 
Ah ok, fair enough. That still only accounts for about a change of 4kk xp you're losing out on. Let me know if things improve for you over a few hours of running the build.
 
One night. Tomorrow.
Now 100k DPS, 550@ resist, 52k hp. 1-2 death/hour wia alk-mod profile.
 
Well. I set TPS = 15 in Trinity prefs = 20m EXP via AlkMod profile. Profit! :)
I like WD too.

when i did it with my wd. It seemed to use bears on everythin even the bone piles etc. Did yours also? If it only used bears on elites i'd gladly use it.
 
My WD 200K dps, with this build running TK v4 MP0...getting 400K G/H & 30M E/H (no HFR or exp gain gears)....couldn't complain more...WD Rulez
 
Which sockets should i use in the different items :)? pretty new to botting, so im very very sorry if this is a stupid question!
Mostly head im thinking of. New to botting i still know Int is the best in "Other" ;)
Thanks.
 
just wondering, what do you guys take as the spare skill? I right now use whatever you said in OP + soul harvest
 
Just build a WD with this but only reaching 200 gph. I have 15-19mil xp/hour though, thats quite decent I guess.
What am I doing wrong?

- Are you using a Perfect Ruby in Helm + Hellfire Ring (on yourself and follower) + Leoric Signet (on yourself and follower) + Cains set?

- Which profile are you using?

- Are you able to Facetank Arcane/Desecrate/Frozen/Reflect Damage mobs with zombie bears?

- Following this build guide to the tee/T isn't a very good idea. (You can do a bit of research by reading on the bnet forum and actually playing the WD yourself).

nope, don't care too much about P-levels, just the loot, takes too much time to get a hellfire ring and all that

- Which profile are you using?
Ultimate Sky-high extended

- Are you able to Facetank Arcane/Desecrate/Frozen/Reflect Damage mobs with zombie bears?
Yes I am, I reduced the pull distance to 20 yards. It basically runs up to everything, spams bears in the face and when its out of mana, it uses fireblast (by reducing the pulldistance to 20 yards I increased my gph by about 90k

Hmm.. well you're probably right about better builds and such. Just bought this setup on 3 WD's already.


Could you give me some insight of what you are using? 8) I like to keep my setups low-budget, only spend 5 mil / WD so I guess the results arn't that shabby.
