Bringing you my new WD Doggycharger™ designed specially for little bit heavier yet fast running in ~mp5

Important to remember with this build:
*Since this build is not a mp1 runner DO NOT OVERLOOK defensive qualities (@res, armor, vita, lifesteal) cuz that reflect is always gonna hurt a WD on high mp
*Having especially manaregen but also some bear cost reduced in soj are also important, even though a lot of mana will come from different bonuses
*Full 4*Zuniset needed

Requirements/Recommendations:
2500+ int
2+ lifesteal
500+res
20+ increased mana regeneration
~8+ zombie bear cost reduce
(max mana helps)
~50k life
~30+- increased pickup radius
10k+ life globe bonus
80-90k+ DPS at least

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#fVYTUd!ZYT!ccZZaY

Passive skills:
Circle of life One of the key's of the build, constantly spawning dogs for dmg / provoke the pack (more dps)
Gruesome feast Mass int, mana
Grave injustice life + mana + cooldowns reduced, no brainer really

Skills:
Zombie bears (Left click attack)
Strong dps so we will attack with this

Sacrifice - Provoke the pack (Right click attack)
While attacking with bears dogs will spawn and run around --> explode them to add to the chaos. Provoke the pack will bring 15% more dps which is just awesome.
*note: one thing that sucks is that provoke doesnt have an icon to show the bonus, but just keep blowing up the dogs and the bonus is there
**note: try to blow up 3 dogs at once always for max buff, even if you have standing 15% bonus and blow up just 1 dog it will go down to 5% bonus

Zombie dogs - Final gift
More purple dogs to blow up, yay (also some globes)

Gargantuan - Restless giant
Handy as always, use other rune if you like better

Spirit walk - Jaunt
Always have this on with elitepacks (especially reflect ones) for the DR, aim is to more or less kill them within the 3 seconds. Also running boost.

Soul harvest - Soul to waste
Int buff, more DPS for free, we'll take it

Items:
Main: high dps, lifesteal int, crit damage (sock if you can afford) (rare sword/ceremonial, echoing, Manajuma's - take your pick)
Offhand: Good thing of the deep, but other legendary mojos can be fine too if you have enough pickup elsewhere. Important: manareg + mana & good damage (Bear cost lowered is very nice add)

Helm: Zunihelm 250+int vita manaregen 10+
Shoulder: Vileward int vita + add
Rings: Zuniring + Stone of jordan 8-10 bear cost reduced
Boots: Zuniboots useful add
Armor: Zuniarmor useful add
Bracers: Strongarm (or lacuni)
Amulet: Tal rasha allegiance mass int /vita or rare amu
Pants: Inna's (vita, int) or blackthorne or rare pants etc
Belt: Witching hour (or something else if you wish)

Playstyle:
This WD is designed to beat at least mp3-6+ without slowing down at all
*note: If you cant kill special packs at least almost instantly within the first 2 waves of zombie dog sacrifices while running bears at them, then MP level is too high.
run with spirit walk to wheres many monsters, shoot bears, explode dogs and enjoy the mayhem

Killing:
*Bears will bring insane damage, with lots of monsters mana is never an issue due to bonuses from all globes / kills
*When encountering special packs, optimally you have 3 zombiedogs ready and zombie dog skill is ready - shoot bears, let dogs get close, explode, recast dogs, shoot bears, explode again (weapon damage: 275%*3 *2 12 radius from sacrifice)
--> generally all special packs will not survive this first assault
--> dont forget to click spirit walk, it will make you immortal for the 3 seconds you need

Advantages of this build in short:
* high damage skills with radius only
* basicly all DPS buffs in use
* some alternative gear in use that is cheap (at least for now when im posting this)
* ability to make huge damage first seconds of the fight with elites
* good running speed even with slightly higher mp levels

Hope you all enjoy the build

doggycharger/10
xD i use le build now and approve, veri fast mp5

^^

I have just finished buying the eq a few min ago, video showing the gameplay should be posted soon

Going to test this soon, when i get home.
Looks good

just tested and it was pretty fun and effective. gunna try out on higher mp

love it so far. on mp5..

not sure how much of a necessity having zombie dog skill is. wonderin what would be more usefull.
i know you use it for when the dogs die, you have a chance at a globe....but globes drop all the time for me..


and to add, there IS a icon with sacrifice.
there is a new aura underneath my wd for the duration of the buff.

aha, good to know ^^
Originally I planned the sacrifice to be a just a DPS buff for the bears but then I started to like blowing up the dogs when I gamed on
I already know that spaz likes a little variation where you remove the circle of life and use blood ritual for more mana & bear heavier gameplay
--> the dog summoning could be replaced (keeping the circle of life) with something else since the passive brings a lot of dogs

Summon dogs skill is quite nice when you have elitepack and not a lot of white mobs, then you can do the double sacrifice right when you meet them for big damage.
e: I tried hex / mass confusion @ the place of dogs myself and its also ok. If one like to team up that skill slot would be good for slam dance as well.
