check out this spec:

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/narch-2955/hero/79053

pretty interesting, guy is top 2 wd paragon (level 50 atm)

Seems like good synergy for speed, if you have good gear.
Spirit vessel + grave injustice = spam of 3s spirit walk.
And he uses ghost bomb, cause with his dps, technically crappy 30% ed nova is probably enough to wipe out trash enemies. Note that if gruesome feast kicks in his dps goes way over 200k, especially with soul harvest (another damage hit, 230%). It is important to have aoe for trash that doesnt cost mana, same build that uses bears vs everything is much slower.
Pretty interesting setup, real speedrun type of wd.

But Pile on is so hard to aim, I don't even bother trying this skill anymore.


Not if you are teamed up with a Monk with Cyclone... Just aim it at your monk friend... All the mobs nearby him will be ontop of him.

thats my build, pretty cheap gear ( under 6m for all I think).

Running a3 fast and easy. Soul harvest being my main source of dmg for non-elites ( a crit will one hit the pack and the skill will be reusable already due to grave injustice).

For elites, soul harvest+grasp and 2-3 firebomb.

Do you guys prefer tal rasha head or zuni? I cant afford a zuni with crit, but I would like the set bonus (2 and maybe 3) but I am not sure which gear to switch (Except chest and then maybe take head instead of tal rascha)

In general.

They tank enough and handle aggro managment pretty well.
Although some mobs like Phasebeats etc hard hitting mobs will kill them fast sometimes, even with Zombie Handler and Jungle Fortitude

Gargantuan survivability has been increased:

Maximum Life now scales with the player's Maximum Life

At level 60, the Gargantuan will receive an additional 50% of the player’s Maximum Life
The amount of damage a Gargantuan can take from a single hit is now capped. The cap scales with the player's level, and is further reduced by the player’s Armor and Resistance.
Weapon damage increased from 25% to 100%, but can no longer trigger procs

Zombie Dog survivability has been increased:

Now also receive 35% of the player’s Maximum Life

The amount of damage a Zombie Dog can take from a single hit is now capped. The cap scales with the player’s level, and is further reduced by the player’s Armor and Resistance.
Cooldown reduced from 60 seconds to 45 seconds

Circle of life+Sacrifice(Next of Kin)+Thing of the deep

32 yards - 30% dog spawn when kill - sac - chance to spawn dog (yes tooltip is bugged... it is possible to sac any dog, not only summoned via spell so i dont need summon zombie dogs spell at all)

instantly wipes any numbers of white mobs

+Grave injustice=almost permanent spiritwalk

add soulharvest+zombie bears to utilise mana on elites and u will clean a3 extremely fast + u have 1 free slot to use (i prefer fetishes with ambush to kill elites even faster as with grave injustice we can use it almost on every elite pack)

any item with +5-7 pickup range will increase range to almost full screen

remember, when spiritwalk wears off all your summons teleport to you that help with fast dealing with extra health elite packs

p.s. yes, my english is terrible, i know, tyvm ^m^
p.p.s. any better place to farm paragon exp than CotA? Cant break 31kk exp per hour without signet =\

i have to figure out how people are hitting these. I farm a3 all day with wd usually 2-4 people though would solo be that much faster? when i ran with this 100k dps barb we almost never stop. I'm only paragon lvl 26 pretty behind these 30+ ones. any suggesitons?

can't seem to find pickup on gear without sacrificing a lot of dps.

Actually i have never thought of that, i am going to test that tomorrow :D

EDIT: Come to think about it, Wall of Zombies / Pile on could work very good with my farming buddy monk... Granted he would have Cyclone... I just tested it out, with my subtle amount of unbuffed damage at 55k, i just critted 1.3million.

I rolled with Wall of Zombies/Pile on and Big Bad Voodoo with Slam Dance. The uptime on those though Will be massive...


how do people do these 1mil+ crits ? I only see single numbers of xxx,xxx never millions.

edit: did like 1.1mil with pile but it's super high cd to just do 1 mil 2bear spams can do the same and no cd. and it's hella hard to aim and the raidus sucks.
