I prefere instead of circle of life, use either defensive passive like bad medicine (helps vs reflect), or spirit vessel.
And instead of sacrifice and garg, paranoia and slam dance. Both up for most of elitepacks, huge damage bonus and cc.
Provoke the pack is nice but it costs you skill and a passive to get nothing but 15% ed, kind of expensive.

thanks



Hope you at least tried the build out just as it is for a while in mp5 cuz it really does work well
Sacrifice is not just a 15% damage buff but 2ndary attack too that does a lot of damage simultaneously with the bears
Gargantuan isnt really a big part of the build, its my own favourite but ofc can be swapped out for other skill

Nice guide, but im w8ing for video

Here's what I found to be correct for my WD, when experimenting a little with skills.
In single player game, mp5, circle of life + summon zombiedogs works like a charm. You have to really learn to play it as you need alot of timing. In example you don't want to cast spirit walk too soon. You'd like to have Summon ZD on 0 cooldown and 3 dogs up when approaching any elite pack, but reflects in particular if u wanna bring it down before ur SW runs out. Geting a good bear-spam position and learning to get most effective damage out of each Zombie dog sacrifice wave is the key here.
I tried to run with more DPS, less life than juhamattis (esajoram) wd, but it really just made risk for alot of dying which is time consuming. Life is really important aswell as armor/res here.

In party mp5, I change garguantain for Big Bad Voodo (slam dance) and circle of life passive into "blood ritual". Blood ritual is #1 dps passive against ubers/heavy mp bear spam imho.
Here the dogs will basically just work as a buff, possibly 2 x 3*275%weap dmg waves initially but you won't have to worry as much about it in team just spam ur bears I think.


Be careful don't play too high mp. 3-4 is fine with mediocre gear/stats



edit: mana regen / mana pool is mandatory. You will spam bears against white mobs usually.
Personally I run 1215mana 89manareg. it's enough. With blood ritual passive teaming is alot of fun, WD is unbeatable elite/boss dps like that.

pretty cool.... but mp1 speeddoctor build with stalker hellfire and acid cloud is still much faster for exp

I didnt check the ratio how much exp this gives per hour but im sure you're right speed doc most likely gives faster exp
this build will give still competitive exp, different enough gameplay and most of all fun gaming!

e: and now im not around my comp as xmas holidays are on, but perhaps spazman or lixy you could check the exp/h at some point?

Bump for best WD farming build imo

I simply don't understand how your totals are adding up with the gear listed.
