Wd can get 100m exp/h with locust build so yes.
As for what is cheaper.. i'd say budged char barb is cheaper, for same amount of gold it will be stronger. For high end, wd is cheaper, just because high end barb stuff costs fortune. For barb you need billions for weapons, billions for mempo, while wd bis slots are just much cheaper (zuni helm, 1.2 aps weapon with life steal, spear).
Best build, hard to tell, for low mp variations of GI, GF and spirit vessel, with locust or acid rain, for higher mp only bears.

Thanks for the information, but why Locust Swarm? It's melee range, right? Why is it good?
And what runes are normally used with it? I've only seen Acid Rain and Zombie Charger, never saw Locust Swarm.

I've personally been using a zombie dog sac build for ubers mp9/10 and it seems to only work with blackthorne's jousting mail. I tried inna's temperance, but I don't live nearly as long. I still don't have the gear I want for this build yet, but it is quite a bit more fun than spamming bears. Plus the survivability seems to be a tad better at the higher mp's. Oh and the zombie dog/sac build is really expensive though and the damage seems weak, but it seems to not have any problems draining the life out of elite mobs with a soj.

I feel I'm almost in a good position for pvp

The build is my levelling build for fast xp.

If anyone is selling a pox with 5+ crit/30+avg dmg lmk, I've been using this cheaper one for a while now.

Hey Guys
Here is my WD http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/kamil1991-2386/Szamani%C4%85tko/23794121
With this setup i can farm 60m+/h exp on mp0 or do some fast farm on mp1-2. But im thinking about to buy skorn with ls 1400+dps 150+cd and 300+int. I think with skorn i will be able to do rly fast mp5+. I calculate the dmg with d3 calc and it should be same as with the sword or 5-6k lower (depends on skorn stats). What do you think about this idea? Or should i just bought rare spear with ls and cd int? When new patch will come out i want to farm pargons on higher mps (5-6 i think and using spider-bear build).i know farm on higher mps will give me less exp (even with the new changes i think) but i want some challenge and fun
So what do you think about weapon on wds?
Cheers

hi, i stop played 1 or 2 months ago, what its the best farm build for mp1?

fyi, I saw someone streaming on the PTR servers and PvP'd alot. He claimed himself to be top 5 dueler so I hoped on his stream to ake a look. Let me tell you that he creamed everything with ease. The only times he would die was when he made a mistake

He was using that zunimassa offhand (i dont play wd's so i wouldnt know) (guy insisted that this would go up in price upon release, so buy yours now)
using the following spells:
blinding dart (3x rune)
jumping spiders (omfg that shit is so op, it follows you offscreen and slow targets)
fear
hex
mist walk
and the aoe poison (to hit behind walls / terrain)

i dont know his passives but he did mention the revive one where u get revived when u die with like 10% hp. gives you an opportunity to kill them.

i dont play wd's so this is jsut a heads up to you guys. heres the guys stream:

he has some archived vids

I tested my doc in pvp too, in pub games, and i can tell, wd is very cool in pvp
The test was about 1.5 hours, and i used this build:
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#gcUXiY!ace!ZYaYZb

Just another wd killed me sometimes, but he is in top 10 in pvp dummy too.
Next time i will try this spiders, and maybe splitters..

How do you deal with good monks that use dashing strike, serenity, and seven sided?
They have god mode/cc immunity longer than spirit walk, can even destroy "physical form" and dispel sw very fast. You can't run away, cast zombie wall, because they teleport over it.
Ofc spamming haunt, wos, running around these walls and obstacles helps, but if they catch you with their teleport attack, wd is kind of screwed.
I mean good, 300k dps monks, that can rip through spirit walk, on a 1m ehp wd in no time.
