I was using exact same skill setup solo (since your party filled up before I got back :( lol ), except instead of slam dance I had bears.....  I don't think I used bears once and have been creaming MP10 Act 1.

Also tried using 1hand + mojo instead of skorn, and with 4 piece zunis and Blood Ritual, I never ran out of mana and could channel firebats virtually forever.  So far I'm liking 1hand + mojo setup with firebats.. I've not encountered any reflect dmg packs though so we'll see how lesser lifesteal works.


I throw on a pair of int/vit/phy res/all res/armor/2 soc vit gem'd pants when i run into reflect with just the 1h setup, as well as use horrify-armor rune.

But to drop horrify i decided to keep a skorn in invo so skorn + pants means nn horrify anymore.


But reflect only gets worse the higher mp/more dmg you do so keep that in mind.

Yep. Dropping horrify armor skill made me vulnerable against the RD pack. Before with horrify/bear build, I facetanked every RD pack, but without it on bats build, I have to be careful when hitting all 3-4 RD packs with pulse on. But it's definitely manageable with 2hander set up.

WD is FUN!

There is a point where you can get so much damage, and crit so high, you actually kill yourself in one clean ass hit before life leech even goes into effect.

Im finding this to be possible with bats lol. So still trying to figure out what to do about this though its not that huge of a problem.

lol yeah that happened before when i was doing skorn/tr/bell build with explosive light bell rune. lol 6% lifesteal went to shit.

but yeah it's not a major problem. fun stuff. share the secret when you find one!

There is a point of mitgation where you always heal at certain life steal level, regardless what your damage is. More damage, the faster you heal. For 6ls it is around 4k armor and 840 physical resistance, assuming no dr from skills/gear.

hmm, i wouldnt want to go without bears.


it's ok if your team manage it
if soloing, only bats is difficult, but you can drop either bbv or paranoia for bears then

why dont u use dps ring instad of soj jinshin? mana reduce for bats? really? :D

elite dmg makes a huge difference when buffed with all the shits WD's get. reduce for bats is just incing on the cake for me.

but yeah i do have very nice rare rings for my WD, but i tried all of them against soj before. nah i like soj. i always use soj on WDs and Barbs.
