WD vs GHOM

[Kylex89]

Hello I just bought a 3 day trial of Demonbuddy last night and I can run ghom on T5 without any deaths but once I switch it too t6 I seem to die alot. About 1 death every 5 runs or so.



My gear is pretty good but not amazing.

I am missing Tasker and Theo gloves. My sheet Damage is 951k atm. I have a Starmetal Kukri, Ring of Royal Grandeur, Tall Man's Finger, Mask of Jeram, Crafted Aughild's set, 4 Peace Zunimassa's set. I can provide SS of all the gear if you need me too but I don't think that's my problem.


I think my problem is that my WD likes to go into melee when it attacks stuff but I am not 100% sure if thats my problem.

My spec is from https://www.thebuddyforum.com/demon...om-chest-runner-rift-bounty-builds-class.html Fire:Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III

Does anyone have any tips as to what I can do to help me be able to farm Ghom on T6 without any problems.

Your dps are too low for T6. You are killing him slow and the poison cloud is killing you. Your possible sollutions are:
1. Equip Mara's Kaleidoscope for poison mitigation.
2. Use the best DPS gear you have.
3. Tune your gear. You don't need SMK but Sun Keeper. Yoo don't need Zuni set but 3 pieces of Audhil, 2 pieces of Blackthorn set. The close to ideal gear is to have 1.3-1.4m dps with 70-80% +dmg to elites. So you can kill Ghom in 6-7-8 sec after entering combat.
4. If you can't do it that way, try to use 2x Unity on you and follower, this will give you few more seconds to deal with Ghom.
5. Good idea is to use The Furnace on follower if you have it.

I'm not gonna bother explaining all the mechanics but that build should to the trick. Using that "fire build" is straight out retarded and whoever made it is clueless about WD mechanics (specifically MoJ mechanics). Make sure you grab +45% damage to Fetish Sycophants.

The point 3 is kinda wrong... I run T6 Ghom with Firebuild and 1.046.XXX DPS, I have TMF, Jeram (legendary, not set), Cindercoat, Kapi (offhand, redirect damages), and +X% Damages Fetish/Garg on 2/3 pieces, 50+ GPH 3+ LPH ... And I dont have a sunkeeper nor blackthorn/auguild.

+50%~ Fire Damage, +15% Fetish, +15% Garg damages. annnnnd it works. It takes between 10-15 sec tho.

The build above is pretty much the same I have. Except it's without Spirit walk, I have Toads (Rain)

Edit : Oh, and I dont have Mara's

Sure, and I run it in 8-10 with SMK and no Sun Keeper or Aughilds cause I have awesome gear, but that doesn't mean my gear is optimal for the task though. For a Ghom bot having Aughilds and a good SK is definitely better then SMK. And especially when someones gear is bad in the first place getting such items makes the task a whole lot easier.

Lmao, to each his own i kill Ghom in 4 sec using one of those clueless builds and using Jaunt for a under 10 sec fight useless. But hey if it works for you go for it.

If you can get the right gear for all the specs then poison is the best, maras makes it easymode you will never die, even if u have to give up elemental damg on your neck maras is def worth it.
For posion:
Mask of jerem
tasker and theo
tall mans finger
Soj 20% poison damg
swamp land waders 20% poison damg
Aguilds Chest 15% zombie Dog damg
Aguilds Bracers 20% poison damg 6% cc
Aguilds Shoulders 15% zombie dog damg
Witching hour or Hellcats
Uhkapian Serpent 15% zombie dog damg
Weapon:Sunkeeper 30% elite damg, or a high damg 1 hander remember the fight is so fast any procs or reduction on skills are useless.
Boots whatever you got with good stats
with these items your dog will crit for 200 Million plus and Ghom will die in 3-5 sec everytime.
with this build Witch Doctor - Game Guide - Diablo III
remember you dont need any thing but pure damg output
if you dont have the gear then use what works for you everyone has a opinion so find a build that works with the gear you have.
there is also nothing wrong with doing T5 and not dying till you find a Maras ammy, if you can get 55 Gph at T5 you will still make Good Xp and gold

And for anyone else.....If you are using the TMF then your DOG is what is killing Ghom all you need to do is cast spells to increase damg firebats and plague of toads is just hurting your damg

I can kill ghom in 5 seconds with sunkeeper socketed with 20% elite dmg gem, 2pc aughilds, 2pc blackthorns, 30% elite soj, RRoG. FA:LoD, BBV:Slam Dance, Garg:WP, Zombie dogs, Mass confusion Paranoia +20% damage bonus, piranado +15% damage bonus.

Or I can kill Ghom in 8 seconds with a Tfury and my rifting gear. Who the fuck cares? To each their own. Ghom was being killed in 5 seconds 4+ months ago when kevin released profiles. Don't need jaunt, Fierce loyalty is now a good speed bonus on top of giving +1 dog to get to Ghom fast enough. You can do T6 Ghom with the right good gear and no maras, but you can also do Ghom with shit gear and any maras should you find one. Ghom took a while but after 300 paragon levels he spit out 3 of them, one with 10% CC 20% physical 740int with vita i rerolled to 93% CHD. I use it regularly now on my pet doc in gearswap.
