@kushm4sta
I think you should grab a zuni pox cause of its CHD and the 2pc zuni bonus since your intelligence is on the low side. Your vitality is also rather low, with only 31k hp I'd socket everything with amethysts.
We got to talk about your prowlers. They have 87int, 36phys res and 8ias. Imagine if you had that on a pair of boots with 12% movement speed, I dont think you would be ok with that. I see a lot of people kill of an entire item in their gear because of the movement speed on prowlers. It's not worth it bro! If you dont get CHC on prowlers at least get some stats on them, go find some with vitality!
I've fallen for this too, my bracers are definitly my weakest piece http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/WakaDoDo-2746/hero/15069941

@Marshall_D
Zuni boots 7-8% more elemtal damage is really, really good. I'd replace those firewalkers with trails, but the loss of AR from those isnt nice. And AR on trails is hella expensive. I'd replace one of the rings with a zuni ring which together with 3pc bonus adds a lot more AR. The pox also has CHD which I think you have too little of compared to your CHC.
I think you went with IAS on gloves/rings a bit too early. IAS should imo be added when additional CHC/CHD is really hard to get. And we get CHC/CHD first because it' allows us to be more mana-efficient.

speedfarming build: Spirit walk;jaunt and horrify;stalker for maximum movement speed then add the grave injustice. Speedfarming on low MPs is all about the time it takes to move between elites, since the fights take 2-7seconds. The three above allows for maximum speed. The rest of the skills/passives should allow for a almost instant kill burst once you hit the elites and dps buffs in general. Soul harvest; vengful spirit and gruesome feast passive are great for this imo.

The official EU WD battle.net forums have an active community creating new builds. http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/2823160/

Once you start thinking of high MPs you have probably reached a stage where you want to be creative yourself.

glhf guys!

Almost hit level 55 in Hardcore. I just switched to a zombie dog / sacrifice build with Grave Injustice, Circle of Life and about +30 yards pickup bonus items. It is a *lot* of fun.

I'm just curious about what damage spell people find more effective. I use the Flaming Darts as primary attack, and Acid Cloud with the 6 sec / 300 Weapon Damage rune. I tried Zombie Bears for a bit but I did not find it effective, the range is too short and it is not a very precise spell.

Also, I'm wondering if it's worth switching Soul Harvest for something else? I like Soul Harvest a lot but its range is a bit too short. Maybe Horrify would work better to have a second panic button in Hardcore (I already keep Spirit Walk with Jaunt, of course). Link to my current build: build

Anyone here running a sacrifice build? I'm gearing toward it (already at 0 CD on zombie dogs, but need more CHC+better weapon) and wants to share his/her impressions?

zombie dogs can be changed, i chose them because they clear trash that survived acid cloud.

I'll vouch for the speed of that build. It's likely to be the quickest speed-run build possible in D3 with the proper amount of damage output.

That's well rolled, but finding the chicken with crit to go with it is super expensive.

This is my WD

All i do now is run MP2 runs, it feels like it takes too long so i'm wondering if i should lower the MP or change my build or something? i have absolutely zero gold since i just started playing again, so buying upgrades is out of the question at the moment.

Any advice is appreciated.

You have about 55k damage unbufed, which is a little low for acid rain runs at MP2. For example i have 240k unbufed, and i only do acid rain runs on mp0 or mp1, anything higher i use the bears build. Since on mp2 my acid rain doesn't oneshot trash anymore, and i lose all the speed advantages the acid rain build gives me compared to other builds, and i also start to get mana problems since i have to spend more mana per mob (acid rains is exspensive), and i actualy have stop to atack and kill mobs. At your dps i would suges lowering the mp level, unleass you change to a bears build

Also since you don't have much gold, may i sugest buying an lifesteal 2hander other than a skorn without a socket? for example your skorn only gives you about 190 crit damage curently with the gem in the socket. Since people who go for 2h instead of 1h, go that way because of the lifesteal and not damage. I also use an skorn with the lifesteal , and the lifesteal it gives is the only thing that alows me to do mp10. Maybe look at a vigilance weapon for example, they don't usualy have sockets, but they always have lifesteal,and they are realy dirt cheap ( like just above brimstone price), since nobody uses 2h other than skorns, Also get one with high crit damage and not one with a socket, they can't have both anyways. Or look up for rare 2h with crit damage lifesteal but no socket. I think i sold and 1300dps+ 2staff with 180 crit and lifesteal for just 50k last week, yeah they have no value at all.

Appreciate the advice, will definitely look into it!

Any idea what kind of build i should stick with until i can get my DPS up a bit?

Started playing witch doctor this weekend after my dh found some zuni gear and a thing of the deep, got him upto 60k dps, and did a few mp0 runs.

There is no reason to get attack speed with acid cloud runs right? From the brief playthrough it didnt seem as though the cast time was affected by weapon speed. So just focus on cc and crit damage?

It does improve your cast speed with acid rain but doesn't help the DoT. Generally attack speed on a WD is not that great because it's causing you to drain mana faster. If you end up getting mana limited you're not getting in more attacks, anyways.

I've found IAS to be pretty nice when working with higher monster power. I will still run an acid build but with spiders and lob blob. I feel like that IAS really helps the single target dps.

Just hit 60.
Pretty much a noob WD, got some gear from my friend, borrowed the bracers from my barb.
Just want to know what I should focus on first, also I just copied the most used skills from diabloprogress, so any comments on my gear and build are welcome. (have 3 million right now, will rather do few big upgrades than many small.)

Edit: currently the B-net profile isn't up to date. (lvl 39 with vile wards LOL)
