Hi my name is Jon. I swapped from dh to wd when 1.0.4 hit.
I spent millions buying the wrong items, testing builds, and this is the one i found that i really love
so i thought i'd share one of the many viable witch doctor builds.

My d3 profile:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Supamanjon-1422/hero/65487

Skills:



My playstyle

I run in with spirit walk, hex, soul harvest, throw 1-2 waves of bears and spirit walk again.
If i run into elites i use totem when possible, spirit walk for reflect damage elites, kite till spirit walk is up again, or use potions, or find more mobs for cd on spirit walk.


What is essential in my build?

1. Pickup radius (thing of the deep covers that)
2. At least 30-40k dps
3. 400 all resist+
4. No mana regen is required but max mana is a bonus.
5. Lifesteal for bearzzz


How passives work:
Spirit vessel - gives cd and is the oh shit passive so every 2minutes you can literally die once.
Gruesome Feast - Every health globe picked up heals 10% mana, and gives u 10% int
Grave Injustice - Small heal + 1 second cd . With pickup radius this is what makes you shine as i feel like a DH with 1.0.3 nat set because i can spirit walk almost unlimited as long as there are mobs. Spirit walk is also my main source of mana regen.


Quick video i made better explanation of how the skills coordinate with each other:

Screenshot of my unbuffed dps, dps with 5 stacks, dps with totem + 5 stacks + gruesome feast.



Thoughts? Questions post here.

I didn't go into item builds but basically gold pickup, then some all resist, int, and crit. I find that 400-600 with at least 35-40k hp is a good place to be without dying much or at all.

Tbh, i don't understand you use hex..
I would probably go with something like Zombie dogs there, to draw attention away from you and over to the dogs.
Also i find your resi a tad low, same about the life :)

but i like the spiders, i might give it a try, when i can get online :) Els i usually use Firebomb, ghost bomb. It's a lot of fun :)

I've honestly never used hexed, mass confusion or horrify. Seems though that a lot of people on here are adding those skills into their builds. I'm gonna try this one out

Dogs don't do much for me waste of fps. Horrify doubles my armor, mass confusion 20% more to elites and can charm them, hex like I said video so soul harvest usually kills everything but if it doesn't crit sometimes there's a dew mobs with a sliver of health. So that extra 100k aoe does the job. Plus the random. Chicken is not bad. I've tried every skill and that was the best or horrifying for that slot. Reason I dont use dogs is everything gets one two shot so they wouldst do me much. For elites 1 spirit walk and elites are dead. If I do go something id use restless garantuan he takes aggrieved off elites when i need to wait on cds. All playstyle :)

paragon lvling. *not sure if acid cloud works better in single or not i have to continue testing but duo/parties def this build for me. I've seen the builds for all top 100 paragon lvlers, not sure if they use same build as they did when lvling though. But almost every single one was different. talking about different passives, different everything and not one used totem. So i relaly think it's all playstyle.

You could do away with some ias because it will cause too much mana drain when spamming against high mplvls. Otherwise, your build is looking good. You might wanna add some more hp and mana regen at some point.
