Playing him mid you just go 4/1/1/1 and then max Pounce, right? Bottle->Treads->SB? Seems simple enough. Just gotta master the art of actually, you know, playing the guy. There are a lot of ways to play him but I think 2-4-0-1 or 1-4-1-1 then max pact. Essence shift is generally taken against melee mids. The dark pact max build makes him farm a bit faster. | ||

The dark pact max build makes him farm a bit faster. The extra farming can help. In particular, what I was thinking of with max Pact is the ability to Pact->Pounce->Pact and then possibly Shadowdance->Pact, which is more burst damage than any other skill build is able to give him. It relies a lot on me hitting my first Pounce, though. The reason I was thinking of it is that it seems like the way I played him offlane (1/4/1/1, value point in Pact to purge stuns and value point in Shift to harass enemy carry once supports rotate) was always just the tiniest bit short on damage to kill targets. Not sure if it's the same for mid. | ||

Sometimes you have to blow ult to get a kill and remember that you take 150 darkpact damage too. IMO pounce max is slaying build and darkpact max is ricing build. | ||

it's not about shutting down GD or whatever, it's about promoting content in the other parts of the forum where they need it | ||

And, well, for the record, I posted something in the Strategy forums about Witch Doctor. It's not like I'm trying to dump everything in this thread. It's just better suited to some tasks. | ||
