does it seem likely that jade harvester + quetz will get nerfed in upcoming patches?

with the new tiered rift and competitive balancing based from that it'll probably be nerfed.

So if you play a Pet-Build what Elemental-Damage should you get on Bracers, and should you get more than one Item with it? I guess its Physical Damage to boost pet-damage?!

Does the "increased damage to fetish army" work with the Passive who summons them?

which one is better, 2500 dps rhenho flayer vs 2050 dps starmetal?

i've tested the SMK a bit and it seems the clear speed is not that much better if at all, but i tend to get low more often or stuck with CD and no army. (HC)

i feel like i'm playing this SMK wrong. maybe i should try a higher torment level so the fetishes don't keep idle that often?

rhenho offers great survivability thru the cc it has with addling toads (also spawns fetish sycophants quickly)

Pet is far easier to gear than Jade.
Actually, Jade/DoT WD isn't even possible until you have the set for the 6p bonus. Trying to kill mobs with just DoT at anything above T3 would take forever.

I half disagree. Pet is MUCH harder to gear than Jade, but Jade is almost useless until you get 7 specific legendaries. Most people start off with Pet and then use it to start gearing Jade.


Pet is harder because you need MoJ (semi-rare), Tasker and Theo (very rare), Starmetal Kukri (ultra rare), Hexing Pants (ultra rare), Tall Man's Finger (ultra rare). And then on top of that, things like SoJ/etc. However, pet builds are playable without any of these items, they just aren't very effective until you get them. You'll be in T3-T4 for a long time until you get enough of these items.

Jade is completely useless until you get 7 legs. You need 5pc Jade, RoRG, and Quetz helm. However, the full build does not have any ultra rare items in it. Once you get those 7 legs, it doesn't take long before you are facerolling T6.

the dps of an smk pet wd is pants on head retarded strong if you get all the items you need. probably clears t6 solo the fastest (or at least one of the fastest)

you can have a horribly geared pet doc and reach t4-5 really early zuni 4 piece and moj will get you there really quickly
t4-5 jade doc doesn't kick in til you have the 7 items and t6 won't kick in until you get a nice SoJ and strongarms

most people don't go for the full endgame BiS pet doc before they switch to jade if they are going to switch

sunkeeper is really good as well. although if you rift with a zdps monk you won't need too much outside of the 7 pieces.

l0l Wangsta, totally not what I was talking about, not sure why you're bringing BiS/end game items into the discussion when I obviously wasn't going there. Terranasaur even says in his post that he's just starting out.

A from scratch WD with common legendaries can easily rift on T1-3 just by using Addling Toads/FS. You can then swap FS into FA if you happen to come across 3 Zuni's and a RoRG. Or stick with FS if you find a Rhenho, etc.

Point is, Haunt/Locust WD is simply not viable until you have the full 5-6 piece Jade set + RoRG. I don't know why you're arguing otherwise.

Been gearing this guy for 2 days. Already can clear t4 solo and can hang in a t6 group.

Pet is definitely the way to go for starters.

You can go up to T4 with MoJ+well-rolled common random legs, and T5 once you find a tasker, or zuni's, maybe with a serpent if you need toughness. If my dad(see blog for details) can do it(albeit with a few deaths from standing in stuff), pretty much anybody can.

I said half-disagree, because your points are valid.

What I mean is, Pet WD starts out strong but plateaus quickly, and then takes a massive amount of time to reach BiS. Jade WD has a barrier to entry, but once you get over that small hump, it takes very little time to get BiS or close

The last thing I had done in D3 (weeks ago) was get my WD to 70, and did very little after that with regards to gearing and such. Cracked it back open today and have been enjoying toads+FS quite a bit

Gambled a Mask of Jeram, and one dropped too. Both were the set version......

So a Starmetal Kukri dropped for me while I was playing on my Crusader. It had pretty decent rolls so I decided that I'll be playing my WD now.

He's how he looks: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Melkor-1140/hero/42198777.

He's pretty crappy because my Barbs/Crusader/DH are the ones I've primarily invested in. Any suggestions for builds and items? I'm guessing the orange Mask of Jeram is BIS for helm as well as TnT for gloves. Is Hexing pants possible with Zunimassas?
