Can someone post up a skill build page for this new pet bulid?

And do WDs need LOH much nowadays? I'm trying to gear up my WD and play him, but not too sure on the new patch upgrades.

Should I get a high dps weapon with int/vit/crits? or do we need mana regen?

Thanks.

yeah maybe acid cloud with slow burn will work for you guys with wd, but still got insane mana cost. Acid rain + rain of toads = Rain build?

Try something like this (just an idea, you should try variations and find what you like best) http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#SPUZYT!gad!bbcaca

Look for these things in gear:
-int (damage + all res)
-vit (keeps you alive, scales with pet life)
-life % (keeps you alive, scales with pet life)
-thorns (more thorns = more damage your pets do)
-life regen (with fierce loyatly this helps your pets a lot)

Thanks a lot for that. I'll gear him up like that.

Should I get mana regen stuff on helm/weapon/offhand? or just stack crits for more dmg?

Do you know if those dmg increase to elites apply to the pets?

You shouldn't need to worry about mana regen with a pet build. The base 45 should be enough.
Crit could help your damage, yes. But having lots of thorns on your pets and getting them strong enough so they never die will also deal a lot of damage to anything hitting them.

Not sure about the dmg to elites increased. I wouldn't recommend looking for it on gear though.

Got it. But high dmg in the inventory window translates to pet's overall dmg right? I actually do have a lot of decent gears for my WD, trying to add thorns would mean that I would have to revamp everything.. stacking crits is easier for me since i just gotta switch out my weapon.

Does LOH work on pets as well?

Thaanks for your help man.

If you don't want to use thorns that's fine. Just replace Fierce Loyalty with a different passive. Your pets should already be strong enough and by the sound of your gear, you should be able to stand behind them safely and do good damage.

I'm not sure about LoH tbh, sorry

Does Blood Ritual life regen useable on pets?

Just faced two elites in act 3. rolled them. WDs are fun damn! The pets are very tanky now!

Yes this, i have 2k lps and my pets tank pretty much everything, used to be a splinter/bears build but now i just firebomb niggas for 150k while pets tank
