whats the ideal mods you want on your gear for a WD, and possibly in sequence of importance?

Attack speed (for now)
Intelligence...........................order of importance is difficult as they will change based on your gear, in general this is order though
Crit Chance..........................once you have a decent weapon
+damage

Vitality.................................primary stat for surviving, this is what you should worry about more than resists or armor

Freeze on hit
Life on hit
mana regen ......................................These are your best utility stats depending on what you need
max mana
bonuses to the skills you use can be good

where is atk speed!?

its the best dps stat until you have the certain amount for your weapon. you probably cant have too much

As for skills this is what i roll right now

A key - spirit walk - mana regen rune
S key - fear - increased to 24 yds rune
D key - confuse - stun the non confused rune
F key - wall of zombies - barricade increased width rune
LMB - poison darts - 3 darts rune
RMB - grasping dead - 80% slow rune

Spirit Vessel is an absolute must
Then i go Pierce the Veil and 20% damage reduction for inferno

Currently 35k hp 32k damage and only 160 resists
Its getting me through act 2 inferno with crap gear as its a very defensive spec but with plenty of damage output
The only thing that is really missing is a strong aoe with no cd but zombie wall and grasping dead do fine

Always have grasping dead between you and the mobs
If there are a lot of them use zombie wall and dart the shit out of them
If something leaps to you or somehow else appears right next to you fear, if fear on cd confuse/stun
If jailed or there is no way out spirit walk
If you land zombie wall right on elite minions they cannot move for the duration

I'm a 3k armour, 300~ resist, 20k hp, 22k dps, 1k LoH WD that just got to act 1 inferno.

Not sure where my stats stand but I've been trying for the longest time not to use Bears/VQ. Tried exploring a variety of uncommon builds, forced to use CC/Splinter which I'm already not happy about. Was struggling so much, dying so much that I finally resorted to Bears.

Guess what? Went from getting pwned so badly to pwning like a boss.

Tbh, I'm not happy about this. We only have two legit builds, your Splinter/Gotd/Zombie Wall and VQ/Bears.

Just wondering if anyone has any more non-conventional builds to share. Was having fun kiting with Haunt (Resentful Spirit) but it doesn't proc well with my LoH gear so that doesn't work for me. Tried to go for some Rush of Essence builds but still having mana issues

Anyone has anything to share?

P.S. How do WD deal with invulnerable minions? Especially for CC/Splinter users?

The OP build is amazing ... I swapped big bad voodoo for wall of zombies pile on once I saw the YouTube of Gut 1 shooting butcher .. Wall of zombies is amazing damage

what is the OP build?

I would love to know this too ^

This build looks pretty good to me. It's similar to my current build

I hadn't try Locust or even Soul Harvest too much. Will give it a try

How much life/dmg you have? I have 35k life, 35k dmg and 400+ resists, going through Act2 at the moment but not finding it particularly easy.
