If you're talking about PvE, it's all a matter of opinion i guess.. But i'd say even 50k is pretty excessive.. I feel like i hover around 30-40k with my high mp build.. and 28k with my quick mp1 runs

As for the weapon.. Manajuma can only get up to like 1050 dps I think, and while it has great stats it cannot be as good as a good 6 property rare weapon

I don't know if there are rare weapons out there that would surpass Manajuma's at the moment (for the witch doctor at least)
Also, a rare weapon can be black dmg.. meaning that all "+8% ___ dmg" will count towards your dps more than if you had a poison weapon and an amulet that gave you +8% lightning dmg.. you'd get the dmg bonus, but not as much as if it were +8% poison dmg.. if that makes sense =D

It also depends on your build.. I know that some WD prefer to get a really good spear for the lower attack speed which can help with mana management.. But the high end WD usually will go with Manajuma with socket / Echoing Fury / or a very good rare weapon with similar stats to Manajuma, but a higher DPS

There are many rares that surpass manajumas they just aren't being sold atm.

But most are around 800m+

When i was looking for something a while back, I came across a guy with a 1122 dps 1.4 sword with 8x crit/int/soc/ll but he was asking 2.2 or something outrageous.

Exactly.. They exist, just they are very.. VERY expensive!! I saw a dagger on a Wizard with 1100 dps with 9% atk speed / ~80 crit / socket / 2.9 Life steal... That alone i'm sure is worth 5b+

so say ive got a manajuma, 650 average dmg (dps on weapon shows 910 or so) with 190% crit (taking into account gem) vs. a 1hand spear average dmg is 750 (dps on weapon shows 905) with 150% crit (taking into account gem). I'd be doing more with the spear? would it be shown as more in the dps screen or is it 'hidden' i guess you could say.


Just going to bump this if anyone can help out. 2 scenarios, one with tals ammy one with a regular avg dmg/cc/cd/int ammy. cheers

wowzors... You must have some money to throw around :)

I'd say weapon and amulet now are you main concerns...

Weapon you're just looking for a socket basically! That extra 100% crit dmg will go a long way! Manajuma is probably the way to go in my opinion

As for the amulet.. I'm not really sure! Tal rasha is a pretty good option, but it's really expensive... If you do go with Tal, look for +%poison dmg
Otherwise a good trifecta rare is always another awesome option! You really just have to compare them in game, and see which will benefit you the most!

Thanks for that information !
Thats the problem now... im nearly broke =] I was looking for a tal amulet with cc but prices just killed me as i dont have much valuable things for trade left.
You wouldnt imagine how lucky i was with that mempo, some1 probably made a mistake and didnt put enough 0's in price :p

Yeah, manajuma is looking good for me, but im not going to purchase a weapon till im 100 % sure how this black vs elemental dmg on weapon works and whats most important... if some damage remain hidden as i cant check edps without purchasing :(
Ill keep you updated :)

Okey guys, i did some testing with echoing fury and manajuma's dagger. ( i didnt do tests for other elemental dmg weapons, buti predict it would be the same.

So...
Poison dmg from zunni boots does more with echoing fury than with manajuma's.(this %psn dmg is a LOT in fact!)
average damage on rings(+x dmg or min/max dmg) does more with fury than with manajuma's.
tal rasha amulet with its +5/6% elemental dmg is superb to any other amulet while using echoing fury.(psn/holy>fire>rest if i remember well)

Ive been doing lots of comprehensions between diferent weapons and in my opinion echoing fury is the best possible choice for WD.


Also what i checked is how much dmg is added from crit% gem. 100% crit chance on gem is equal to 17k dps. Calculation is specific to my champion, i just thought that some of you may wonder how much it is for real.


Esh... its a shame i dont have gold for a nice tal rasha amulet :(

Hi guys,

I just made a WD and bought some cheap items (total of 30m spent, including gems) for him. As I rushed him to lvl 60 in 4 hours, I have no idea about the class :)

I just read some threads and tried a few builds (I played for a total of half an hour on mp1:)) The recent setup I have went smooth but maybe it can be smoother, can you give me some advice on my build please? Thanks.
