So I just hit 60 on my WD and I need to choose what build to go with.

I'm trying to decide between a bears or bats build. I've been using bears which I like a lot, but haven't been able to find a decent guide anywhere for it. Is building around bears viable, or should I just go with bats? If a bears build is still a good option, a link to a guide would be appreciated.

Also, is Skorn a good option for either build or should I go 1H + mojo?

It depends what MP you want to farm.

For MP 1-7, I recommend Zombie Bears build for speed.
Cast run Cast run Cast run (full clear super quick).
For any higher MP's, you'll have mana problems and mobs won't die as quick.

For MP 8-10, I recommend Cloud of Bats. Use the bug swarm skill with Pestilence rune, gather mobs, SW to middle and CoB.

Whether or not you want to use Skorn really comes down to one thing: If you want to do ubers efficiently or not at MP10 (siegebreaker).
It's a lot easier to use a Skorn and deal with reflect damage or bad monster affix since there's more LS, but for anything other than a long duration fight, 3%LS willl suffice.
You can just rely on Spirit Vessel and Spirit Walk for short duration fights.

Can't link you a guide since I'm at work, but just giving you a general guideline.
(P.S. reflect damage pissed me off so I went with a Skorn. 1hand/mojo will net you better paper-dps, upwards of about 20-30k, but I like my lifesteal too much to let it go).

If you want to check my WD out, you can look him up on bnet Studflower#1856

What would you guys upgrade first?
Also not sure what to craft atm. EHP is enough for mp10 I guess, would prefer to bump DPS.
Wasted like 500 essences on gloves, cant get any better. Maybe amulet?

Enjoying 1h/mojo atm. Just sniped that offhand for 25mil and it seems quiet good.

Its swarm/bats build.

Thanks for the help, went with skorn and a bears build. I still need to finish hell so can't really judge it yet, but seems like it will be fast and I like the play style a lot more than cob.

Since I need more armor, would it be wise to drop a good amount of igg on a better tal-rashas ammy than I currently have with a +armor mod on there as well?

Theres this TR ammy I'm looking at that has like % fire dmg instead of poison, more int, more vit, a little bit more cc, and some armor.

You can drop mass confuse, and add horrify arm rune and not have to change a thing

if the armor isn't a substantial amount (250+), i wouldn't bother.

if your armor is reaaaaally low (sub 3k), then i'd suggest spending more on armor gear.
if not, i'd just use horrify + armor rune like the guy above me said.
i think the endgame armor goal for most WD is 4k+ though. i don't know why. i do fine with my 3.6k and 900AR

What should I upgrade next WD gods?

Surviviability is pretty good right now, would like to bump up dps

I'm considering dropping a bid on it anyways since it would add like 6k dps and I need a bit of a dps boost. And 1k life.

Looking for some advice on building my witch doctors, I have one complete need the other 3 built. Have about 7 bil to do it ill be multiboxing 4 of these bad boys. Should I go with skorns or manajumas and what offhand? This is for MP10
