Do you guys find circle of life + sacrifice worth it? It dont work well against bosses and I am not sure if its worth it compared to getting rid of cirlcle of life and getting more mana regen instead for more Zombie bears spam

Tough to say.
It is definitely viable and fun, if you need mana get the Pride rune on Sacrifice.
Two examples vs. elite/azmodan

I'm not running it anymore though as the sacrifice mechanic feels a bit too clunky and is taking up 2 skill slots. Got better gear now so that mana reg via gruesome feast and grave injustice is sufficient.

Hello, is there a List of all wd skills and how they work with loh?


Probably best us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5271499223 although some info is outdated.

But Burning Dogs, Big Stinker runes, Grasp of the Dead are best for pure LoH, dunno about attack skill, either Rain of Toads or Fire Pit/Ghost Bomb runes.

I just "discovered" there is a rune for horrify that has 20% movement for 4s..
Wd can be pretty damn fast with all these buffs. Grave injustice, spam spirit walk and horrify, and we move fast. Soul harvest with dmg rune one shots trash, it is killing machine. Elitepacks melt to bears in few seconds.
And all that with like 45k dps umbuffed, no zunimassa pieces, relatively cheap gear (except legendary offhand with 20y pickup).
Wd gear is cheap cause ceremonial knives are cheap as fuck compared to other weapons, we don't need as much all resists thanks to absurdly high inteligence and minions, also fact that we can stack tons of health instead of resist, because if healed via health globes it doesn't matter.
I imagine such wd with really good dps (100k unbuffed), could just drop 1 minion for acid cloud 24y aoe, to wipe trash, and use it instead of bears. This class can get really close to fastest farmers with these spirit walk/horrify movement bonus and cooldown resets. And we kill elites faster than barb or dh.

You have Spirit Walk and Hex, use them more efficiently and there's no reason to die to those mobs.

I've yet to regret buying Lacunis.24% move speed is imo must have.

Anyway, I'm almost done regearing!

Here's my WD as of now! (http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/MagisterLudi-1615/hero/20435803) I think I've only spent about 2m on him as of now. (Most of his equipment was cheap cheap!) Picked up his weapon for 30k and I'm enjoying the 2handed style right now. As you can see I've only progressed up to Act 1 (I got him to 60, went back to my Barb to finish off Inferno and now I'm back to my WD) I've been flip flopping back and forth between Ghost Bomb and Rain of Toads. The first being a nice distance skill but the second being able to go over walls/past gates/jails makes it very effective.

Going to begin to progress into Act 2 as I get time but I've been trying to do some farming to make some gold (but have been failing miserably).

Any quick suggestions for gearing? I know I can move towards a 1hander/mojo but I can't find anything that's cheaper than my current 2hander! Haha!
