What if you do not have smk?

 

[joka666]

Sorry but this guide you are advocating pretty much top end gear to clear t6 content!!!

if you want a guaranteed no death t6 botting setup for WD then all you need is:
4pc Blackthornes
3pc aughild

next step to aim for is:
RoRG
3pc Blackthornes
2pc aughild
string of ears
Julias cameo amulet/xepharian amulet


GZ you have just negated 90% of ground effects and minimised dmg from elites and made t6 a cakewalk

next step to aim for is:

Mask of Jeram
Tasker and theo gloves

for kill speed

why make a guide advocating high end gear to farm t6? totally pointless and if you are farming t6 for gear then simply run a chest runner which you can run naked and gear up

If you are running t6 for exp then a "No deaths" setup is superior to a "high end gear" setup

btw quoting SMK as a must have is like a red rag to a bull for witchdoctors as it's drop rate is complete shit (6 accounts with 4+ WD on each paragon 800+ on all and still NO smk here)

If you don't have SMK then Rhen'ho Flayer (use addling toads for lol perma CC) or Doombringer for additional phys or ofc Furnace

not really.

in 2...3 days you can manage getting all this. (You are a bot. Hello... if you dont get all this easy stuff than you cant use DB. sorry)
been a WD playing a loooong time lol. and i know this build is best for speed.

WD is 1 of the only class that enables you to get fully geared faster than pretty much any other classes. something you should know about by your clever reply.

with this build you don't die.
so 1 pointless to have a blackthorn set. "completely useless in T6 lol so i don't know what your trying to add here.
and 2 this isn't even a advance guide. its pretty much basic .

i can make a advance guide of WD maybe that would teach you a thing or 2 about the class and gear specific then you can maybe try to reply to it with a totally different guide. or maybe be clever enough and try to make a guide of your own.


your idea of armor setup is pretty much better for greater rifts. (way weaker. but still decent)

Sorry to break your bubble but we are talking T6 "bot here" not Lv 45+ tanking greater rifts WD.
(I will eventually make a guide on GR for wd) i am still in PTR.


All in all. try the build before coming here to reply your opinion on it.

 

[MadMayhem]

Having done a lot of WD I can agree pretty much all of this is quite easy to find (not necessarily the stats, but you can work on those over time), not the Kukri though. That thing can be the most evasive little piece of...

But yea, it will usually take hundreds of hours to even find 1, personally it took me about 400+ hours of T6 farming to get my first, which was luckily pretty awesome. And until you do manage that one piece your fetishes and big bad voodoo are quite considerably weaker (obviously) Just my preference here but I didn't even use BBV before finding the Kukri just because DB rarely stayed in it even when it was up from what I saw.

Okay so I'm a scrublord when it comes to Diablo;

I like to play casually and only botted to level up chars, and never farmed very seriously after that
My Witch doctor as a bot can only solo T1 rifts right now (with genuine play he can go up to T3) and i'm doing the rifts to look for this gear
I have the build copied exactly and i'm leveling the 3 gems with every greater rift finished.
However, from the bot farming about 24 hours so far in the past 2-3 days, not a single piece of gear listed has dropped
I'm working on crafting Aughild's (I somehow managed to craft 66 of the shoulders, 100% of them being absolutely horrible) but i'm out of forgotten souls so I have to craft that as I salvage other legendaries.
Anyway, is there something else I should be doing to look for this gear? As of now I haven't found any of the gear from botting or casual play in rifts.

Hope there's something i'm doing wrong so it can be fixed, thanks in advance

 

[havanalibere]

Ha, 700 Paragon my WD bot got only 1 kukri,
and no unity with crit chance 8+

i find it weird you haven't got a single item listed. i would agree with others the weapon IS really rare and is pretty much the last thing you might loot.

other than that, the rest shouldn't be too hard. don't tell me you haven't looted any jade harvester pieces. i will not believe that. its the main thing that will fill up your stash..

the glove you can use any gloves. the Taskers is if you are looking for the best in slot item. it is hard to get and you will have more chances from kadala for it. as for the belt you can simply craft any belts with attack speed i think there is 2 . not sure.

all and all, the most important things you need for this build is
-helm
-weapon
-offhand
-the 3 piece augs

rest can be random. assuming it have high stats.



as to other people talking about playing for long time and didn't loot anything and trying to figure out what your doing wrong..
well.... you are not doing anything wrong. you just have bad luck.

i hope you understand Demonbuddy is a software that makes your character play for you. it doesn't magically drop items or increase the chances
for rare items to drop...

if nothing drops for you well don't blame me.. don't blame DB... don't blame you self. keep playing that's all i can say to you, sorry but nothing
will ever change that. you can try to send blizzard a ticket and tell them no items drop for you "I am SURE they will gladly try to change something for you"

What i did was to give you a build and armor setup for you to achieve something while botting.(or normal play)
if you don't have or cant loot the items listed what do you want me to say? its your problem not anyone else

if you cant loot items using this build, no need to blame me. doesn't work like that. DB doesn't have a legendary drop % slider !

Just a tip i can tell you tho. If no luck is on your side, Don't rage like joka666. trust me, you dont want to look stupit too.

Thanks for the response
I guess my luck is a little lackluster because I still haven't found any of the drops lol.
12k shards in on the helm, eventually I will get it

15 minutes before this post, i started DB. in 45 minutes (to make it 1h sharp) i will post a screenshot of what dropped


(Edit) to give you an idea of what you should be getting per hour legendary wise.

Rage? ahh you mean disagree with making a "guide" for t6 botting listing BiS weapon (with one of lowest drop rates of all weapons in game, google to prove this) and bad gear choices as well as dubious skill choice?

Tip:
pet doc... Gruesome Feast?? lmao
Jaunt?? good for manual play, garbage for botting
Blackthornes has no use in botting T6? despite negating 70% of ground effects? (means you can turn OFF avoid AoE which makes killing faster and thus faster exp, drops etc...)

i can make a advance guide of WD maybe that would teach you a thing or 2 about the class and gear specific then you can maybe try to reply to it with a totally different guide. or maybe be clever enough and try to make a guide of your own.

teach me a thing or 2 about WD??? lmfao... I love idiotic posts like this.

You decided to make personal attacks and name calling because I dared question your "GUIDE", sorry but the only thing you have done is quote a generic pet build with wrong passive choice, dubious skill choice, dubious gear choice, BiS Weapon and not even particularly optimized for botting, which is apparantly the basis of your "GUIDE"

This is my last post on this thread because you chose to directly insult me for daring to question to validity of your "guide", anyone who want to play a pet doc, simply click my sig there is a gear and skill choice guide there as well as variety for poison, fire or phys

15 minutes before this post, i started DB. in 45 minutes (to make it 1h sharp) i will post a screenshot of what dropped


(Edit) to give you an idea of what you should be getting per hour legendary wise.

so if you have about that, it shouldn't take you so long to have what you need.

i get this in about 45mins / 1h

the helm i get 1 about every 2 days
the weapon i can get 1 per week
the offhand, 1 or 2 per day.
the green gifts i don't count them i don't keep them anymore i have 5 in stash and its all i need for now for
backup.

so it should take about 1 week to be all setup. but more if you need better stats on the item,
so you'll need to re-loot it again.(that's what takes longer)

with the new patch coming. you will have rare items faster due to the new rare drop chance increase



And joka666. again... please stop raging. it will bring you no where unfortunately. especially
in a forum where people's care meter is at 0,01

And judging by your guides, i don't think you should be talking as everything you have is copided from guides already posted on D3 official sites...
where me i made some modifications to them to have something more related to this website botting wise

there is no need to be raging when someone posts guides better than yours. Accept it and thats it, not complicated.

 

[HB1012W32]

I farmed manually for 1hr and got 2 legendaries, botted for an hour and got 1.
Running T3 rifts manual, T1 with bot

I must just be really bad at the game xD

 

[Swatti]

Nice post, like the layout... "no RORG needed" was a plus but SMK... Lost whole meaning right there. Heck, yellow gear and SMK is T6 farm.

 

[Turnip]

Thanks for the combat settings.

 

[hugendubel]

Is this build 2.2 proof?

Actually, this is all easily manageable through botting. You came in basically calling him and idiot - stating that this is all end-game? They're endgame stats, but honestly manageable within day running at a lower difficulty. I wonder what you do when the season starts... Run at Master ->T3, get the gear, start T6. There are better ways of telling a guy to make some corrections. Man, the DB community has become toxic.
