If you don't have Zombie Dogs as an active skill, Circle of Life gives you vanilla zombie dogs. If you have the active skill with a rune effect, you get that kind of zombie dogs with an ability.

For Paragon level farming, I would try to avoid crit. (I mean, of course crit is good, but you also need to oneshot everyone with a non-crit.) Attack speed is kinda bad for WD because it also increases your mana cost.
You need an item with 12% movement speed. Like Lacuni Prowlers.
I also think you should get Thing of the Deep because it is too good.
That all said, I don't really know what you're going for in your build. Doing high MP?

Still looking for some advice. I did just recently get the sword from another player who was so awesome and incredibly generous. I did get the mojo Enter the Deep or whatever as well.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Don't use zombie handler passive skill. Try to get +3 socket chest. Get high All resistance on chest, belt, legs and shoulders. Go for +crit as well as +damage on rings, amulet and gloves. Gloves and amulet can have really high crit. Crit on helm is rather expensive, but cheap on gloves. Gloves can also have really high int. Get lots of +crit on your off-hand. I find +mana regen items to be really good when I use zombie bears.
Try to even out the stats on items if you are low on cash. It makes for more bang for the buck. If you can, get zunimassa parts for set bonuses.

deeps is all about getting more CC/CD with acceptable intelligence and weapon dmg. IAS does not help us very much since we can't actually attack more then what our mana pool allows us too.
I'd say step one is get new gloves with more CC/CD and INT instead of IAS. You will eventually want to get a witching hour for the CD. At this stage its just about edging out more CC/CD. CC on amulet, weapon with socket and CD, pox with crit, crit lacunis etc etc.

The three most obvious upgrades for you right now are 1)glove (CC+CD+int) 2) belt (Witching Hour) 3) amulet (CC + Crit Dmg). When you get enough money, you can look to upgrade to a weapon with a socket + life steal.
I'm also looking for some advice on future upgrades right now. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/fliedlice-1743/hero/14864059
I can do an alk run in <15 min, but would like to be more efficient farming keys on MP5+. Are zunis with CC + better witching hour the first things to upgrade?

Hey guys, I'm looking for better DPS or survivability and I'm not quite sure what to buy anymore. All my upgrades seem quite expensive, unless I'm missing something. I stacked a bunch of + health globes/ potion because its pretty good with a thing of the deep... potions and health globes insta-heal me.
Thanks for the help!

Think a new WH would be a good starter since it has most rolls that could be upgraded. Get more INT on it, that revenge and thorns could be something useful instead!
Your armor and AR is quite low as well for an enjoyable MP5 key farm with an offensive spec. I suggest using both JF and BM passives, on top of that use life link ZD rune. These should give you enough mitigation to make it comfortable.
I'd like to hear where you going with those blackthorns pants as they seem out of place with rest of your gear.

First of all, upgrading is expensive man D: Second, mana reg vision so sexhy <3 ^^ :D !!!
132k dps with no IAS rolls is really nice! It's a good number to start adding EHP rolls if you want to throw yourself at higher MPs. Try some AR for the pants, gloves and perhaps on a new WH with armor/strength/phys res?

Love your dagger !
http://eu.battle.net/d3/fr/profile/MEGAMICHEL-2945/hero/824662 Please I need some advice on the next thing I shall upgrade ! I feel like Lacuni Prowlers would be great but good ones are very expensive... Is there some minor upgrades for cheap I should go before I start hardcore farming to buy those precious Lacunis ? Or maybe some other item I should be looking for?
In addition I sometime die on MP1 act 3 runs when I'm not paying attention and I feel that I cant farm efficiently above this MP level :-\ I feel like some more life steal would be very helpfull but I don't know....
The build on profile is not the one for MP1 runs, I usually go with:
-Splinters -Bears -SW + Jaunt -Soul + Vengeful spirit -Hex + Angry chicken -Acid rain / Horrify + stalker depending on the mood ^^
Passives: grave injustice + PTV + Gruesome feast
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

Lacunis is only 12% MS for WD's using bears/acid rain. Beyond that MS they are not an upgrade to ones gear. I cringe everytime I hover over my prowlers. Spend some time and make sure you grab a useful extra rolls beyond the INT/crit. I think you lack some INT and your will lose quite some of that with lacunis. I'd recommend taking a look at Manajuma carving knives with socket. They have a lot of INT on them and you could do with the extra CD.

That is the exact same build I use in low MP. Whats specificly kills you? RD kills most WD that dont pay attention. dropping PtV for SV should help considerably. If its not enough then drop the angry chicken (T_T) for lifelink zombiedogs.

Looking for some possible item upgrades. I'd like more Armor/AR/Vit without sacrificing much, if any, DPS. My next upgrade will probably be CC on my Zuni Pox.
Currently I can run MP7 without much trouble (including ubers), but I want to do higher MP.

Does anybody know the mechanics on Locust Swarm?
I've been using the pestilence rune and it is borderline broken. To me it seems that everytime the locust run out on the initial target, it gets replaced by a fresh locust that jumps from one of the affected. So basically one cast and it stays until the mob pack is dead.
Edit: nvm fuck life. just lost my WD... Hardcore ftl

your ring could use an upgrade for sure if you want dps increase
for big EHP increase upgrade that vile ward to something with +vit and +%life(if u can afford that). then you can offset the EHP increase for more dps somewhere else
|
More INT and CD on gloves and a weapon with cirt and socket.
Do you really feel ok with that lifepool? :p

Locust swarm is extremely good in MP0 but terrible in higher MP's because it doesn't scale at all with attack speed and is hit or miss with crit (either the whole dot crits when it lands or none of it crits). But if you get your base damage high enough, the swarm will kill anything in 1-2 seconds on MP0. Pestilence imo is the only viable rune since it allows it to spread exponentially (x^2) instead of linearly (x) and will save you lots of time from waiting on the spread. LS was my bread and butter when leveling to 100 and allowed me to average about 80-90m exp/hour. Extremely underrated spell and very cheap to gear for (emphasize high base damage. no crit or attack speed necessary).
Some other things:
-pestilence auto spreads to two nearby targets if the infected target is killed. A great 1-2 punch is swarming a pack and then throwing a ghost bomb. The bomb will kill a few mobs and super charge the pestilence spread. Also if you swarm a destructible object close to a mob pack, the swarm will initially spread to 2 targets.
-A single spell cast will clear you screen and more if you run with the spread. LS is the most efficient means for a spell caster to clear trash. And in the long run, you will save an enormous amount of time from only casting one spell per pack rather then 2 or 3 as I see a lot of bear and acid cloud WD's doing.
