Better get 1.2 speed weapon mace or spear. Dagger with mana regen is counterproductive, because extra speed compared to slower weapons (ceremonial knives are 1.4 base speed) ruins the mana regen bonus, you use more mana anyway, to faster spam.


this is so wrong... faster is better, don't listen to this kid

obviously not. only those wd weapons can spawn the mana regen affix.

but if you are putting out high dmg, you never really have to spam the bears for many seconds.

so faster weapon with crit dmg + socket + intel would be the best.

life steal is a huge plus since bears do insane dmg which should give you substantial amount of life back.

So... If I have +100k DPS unbuffed, with 1 dagger or sword with LL would be great?

if you have 100k dps unbuffed, you will melt the mobs and packs. LL would be super useful in that case. :)

WDs dmg gets super boosted by the skills too, so you will do some insane dmg with those cute bears.

Faster wepaon for wd is actually WORSE because it increases mana cost per second of his spells, kid.
Next time try to backup your "theory" with some facts. Anyone can tell something is wrong, trick is to do it without making yourself look like an complete idiot.

Getting ceremonial knife with 1.4 speed and mana regeneration + maximum mana uses more mana per second than spear/mace at 1.2 speed without mana regen nor max mana, despite having mana regen on it.
As wd it is worth to skip ias on most of your gear pieces for that reason. Build your dps with high base damage weapon, crit chance, crit bonus and inteligence, at cost of attack speed. Attack speed should be last stat you add to your gear affix pool, once you obtain best gear with tons of mana regen.

just the physical dmg gets the boost. the elemental dmg doesn't count.

It's actually pretty counter-productive considering Zombie Bears' most appealing aspect is big crits with 3 missiles, killing monsters fast.
I'd rather focus on killing enemies instantly rather than keeping them away, which the WD has quite a few abilities to manage.
