solo is super easy. Never die and farm super fast. I had 70k unbuffed dmg but I'm gonna decrease that to 60k and get my mf up to around 200mf without stacks.

I kill things fast with 50k too so the difference shouldn't make too much of a difference.


This is what I found. I've got about 90 unbuffed in my sunday best and 50k in 300 MF. The difference between 1 shotting every trash mob and sometimes having to 2 shot is negligible and it's nice to not have to MF swap.

Id be down to farm with ya. 112k unbuffed wd here. Pm me your id and ill add you.

As far as specs and such I have played them all. From darts, fire bomb, ac, bats, bears, etc... By far with the right gear nothing can touch bears efficiency right now. The only other build id prolly run at this time would be a firebomb/ac build, but the damage just doesnt compare. I run with no loh accept from a skull grasp which is a minimum amount of like 200 and is negligable. I have no problem with any mobs including reflect damage ones even with no loh. Id link some pics but im at work right now. Buffed i sit at just under 175k dps and unbuffed i sit at about 112k without a follower. Ive had bears hit for up to 950k and they 1 shot about every enemy. Generally they hit for 700k plus.

As far as my build bears is my only source of dps being casted because they hit so hard. The rest are as follows: left click zombie chargers w/bear rune, right click zombie dogs w/final gift rune, 1-4 is spirit walk w/jaunt rune, soul harvest w/soul to waste rune, garg w/(at work so i think) humongoid rune, and lastly sacrifice w/provoke the pack. As far as passives it is ideal to pick up spirit vessel, blood ritual, and zombie handler. This setup is based around high end damage. Like i said earlier ive had crits as high as 950k with full buffs. The idea behind this build is to cast garg and dogs (4 with zombie handler for 20% damage buff when you use sac).you do not want to sac unless your zombie dogs is off cooldown so you can immediately re-cast them to tank with your garg. Generally i only sac for elite packs and bosses. Regular mobs it is not really needed UNLESS your in big trouble and about to die you can sac with final gift to get some health globes from your dogs. Ill try and get screen shots of my stats and gear for you guys, but i have approx 40k hp, and 770 mana. DPS unnbuffed 112k/118k (follower), buffed 170k+.

Basically regular packs are a joke anyways and for elites ill have up 5 stacks of sh up and then sac my 4 dogs on them for 20% more dmg. Then spirit walk in and the usually die before spirit walk is up and if not dodge as much as possible predicting bears and letting garg and dogs tank. This build is based on high dps so there really is no cc. I also have run this with horrify (armor rune) instead of sac for more cc, but once i swapped a few pieces of gear i had much better hp and resist so horrify wasnt needed and the 20% dmg buff and dmg done from sac was too good to pass up. Like i said before ill get some screenshots up and maybe a video. Hope this can help some people out with bear builds and being sucessfull running them. Ive ran almost every build and multiple sorts of each.

This is by far the best bear build ive ran with and most efficient. Any questions about anything pm me and ask or pm me your id and ill add you. I love talking about wd stuff anytime im on. And i apologize for the wall of text but im writing this from my phone at work and it is difficult to break it down on the smaller screen. Thanks for reading!

I have a question for you :)
Would you say it's worth getting all 4 pieces of zuni for the bonus 20 mana/sec?


I don't play a mana intensive build (Darts) and Acid Rain is my mana sink, but I did find it quite a nice boost to my regen.

For solo farming there is actually better skills than bears, it is acid rain cloud with acid rain rune. Use bears only vs elites.
At certain point of gear, it one shots trash, resetting your spirit walk and horrify (stalker), so you sprint to another pack. It is much faster than bears, especially in wide areas with tons of mobs that run away. Just instagib whole screen.
Such wd is really good at paragon grinding, outperforms most of other classes. Also you see all loot from trash, because you hit mobs that are ahead, so you never miss legendary.

Do you have a video ae? at 150k dps i still dont see it one shot unless i'm critting.

and to be able to be in range of the grave injustice i can bear, soul harvest anyways. I tried soul harvest bear and acid to finihs and it works ok but i'd have to take out totem.

i can't find at what poin to use it. besides softening them up for bear/soul harvest or if something is left behind. if u could cast while runing it'd be perfect.

Acid rain is not much faster if it is at all, bears 1 shot trash too so I dont really see the point you are making. They both 1 Shot trash....
