Witchdoctor Build discussion - Page 3

[:1]My PvP Witch Doctor will probably use something like this:

Summon Zombie Dogs (Meat shield/Distraction)

Locust Swarm / Haunt (Homing attacks)

Grasp of the Dead (Slow effect)

Hex (Disable attacks)

Firebomb (Main attack)

Horrify (anti-Melee)

Spirit Walk (turn invisible/pick up health globes )

This is just speculation of course, only time will tell |||Every build should have Zombie Wall just for posterity|||Toying with the idea of a Spirit build at the moment...

Spirit Walk

Haunt

Soul Harvest

Horrify

Spirit Barrage

Not sure what else to put with it yet though considering Acid Spirit (or whatever it's called). Prefer to avoid minions for this one.|||I dont like having my minions do all the work so i chose this build:

lvl2: Plague of Toads

Good skill for the beginning (i asume)

lvl3:Plague of Toads (if i can)

otherwise Zombie Charger

lvl6:Soul Harvest/Poison Dart

lvl10: Firebats/Soul Harvest

lvl14: Firebats/Horrify (maybe Firebomb if the dmg of Firebats is lacking)

lvl20: Spirit Walk/(Firebats,Soul Harvest,Plague of Toads)

lvl26: Spirit Barrage prefer everytime if its skillable

The Problem is we dont know when we can put a Skillpoint onto a Skill so veryvery speculative

WD DoTs:

I dont like those skills cause they will always target 1 enemy first.

For example you play over battlenet with some friends 1 is a barb you use locust swarm on an enemy, then barb charges in and kills it instantly. Then u have wasted your mana for nothing...instant damage skills in an arpg are always preferable (for me) cause they are simply useless against instant damage classes/skills. Especially those the WD has, but we will see how this thing is evolving..|||I am going to try for a Bug Fanatic type build for flavor and I think that Corpse Spiders is going to be awesome.

Damage

Corpse Spiders (My main attack.)

Locust Swarm (To deal spreading damage to weaken the pack.)

Skull of Flame (My sniper attack. Going to use this to take out back row leaders and spellcasters. i cant wait to see if there really is a rune to make it into a jar of spiders. if not then i probably wont be using this spell. Not enough flavor.)

CC

Grasp of the Dead (To slow the targets giving my bugs time to get to the mob and kill them off.)

Utility

Spirit Walk (Everyone should be using this for obvious reasons.)

Gargantuan (Meat shield but wish it was a little better for my builds flavor.)

Parasite (For the free Zombie Dogs and more bug-like flavor.)

Im not sure about traits yet. I will pick those after i see more detail and see how many points you get to put into them.
