Do the new crafts change your item recommendations?


Yes very much so.

I recommend buying cheap pieces where you can craft to start, then just start crafting until you upgrade. Oh and always use innas! these bracers can get amazing adds

Try to add pieces with more pickup (pickup is the bread and butter of this build!)

bump for any who would like to try this.

ALSO very important.

I have recently found a faster build by swaping out garg for locus swarm with pestilence and soul to waste with grim (if you have enough dps to keep moving fast enough).

Throw locust first then 1 acid rain or harvest, as it spreads simply run through what dies and gain the cool down bonuses without any animation stops with acid rain :D

I can do live demo's on my stream for anyone who is confused or just wants to see it in action.

Hey I didn't go through the pages, all I saw was about WD: and I read initial post, I'd like to offer up my input.
Check out my Wd, I can run Mp 2 Act 3 from siege of bastions keep to azmodan in around 40 minutes I'd say. I think the builds are similar, but maybe the gearset is the main area. I saw that you said you needed pickup radius and I find that to be not so much as dps in my opinion. I usually never die for white monsters, so the extra pickup radius is nice to collect all that extra hp and mana but I have 0% radius and I do just fine with lifesteal, uhkapian serpent is my main offhand. I am 226K dps unbuffed with 23K hp which is nice because 1 crit and I can nearly regen all my health at once.

Even though I have high dps, This tactic can be used in low dps, all I do is assign force stand still to my space bar, and use the left click and the space bar to avoid being hit while still tossing out an attack, ghostbomb hit's a lot of enemies.

Pickup radius is a preference, but when it comes to maximizing gold picked up while saving time, then pickup radius is def worth it. I save at least 3-4 minutes per run from not having to go out of my way 10-100ft 100x times to get piles of gold. I also get 50-70k more gold per run than I do on any of my other chars due to massive gold pick up.

Radius can also come in handy for higher mp's where keeping health up is more important. Being able to snag health globes as the monsters drop them is very beneficial when you could be dead in 2-3 shots.

Right, and thats where life steal comes in, and sheer dps. I pick up gold just fine, I wouldn't mind having pickup radius, but I would not sac any of my dps to gain it. Well thats the fun part of this build, because I can play mp 7 and 8, as well on public with 3 others. I have no issues, spirit walk away if your gonna die. Wd is the most tank and op build there is, IMO. This is definitely more suitable a class for glass cannons than most.

This guide has been very helpful for me. I stopped paragon farming at paragon level 17 to work on getting a hellfire ring. I only have 65k dps and 36k hp. At what point should I move from monster power 0 to monster power 1?

When you can kill the entire act with minimal deaths and good time, I try to keep my runs to an hour or less for a whole act, unless Im not doing quests.

Do you find that a ruby brings your low up more than the Cd could help?
