Yes with good resi / armor / life regen / fortitude and loyalty passives, and even a 40k+ life pool of WD, they will tank a lot. Pets can now have 30k+ hp and take less than 1000 per hit. But how much dmg do they actually deal?

That makes me sad, not because the WDs dps drops, but the rare built of a rare class gets popular.

I want my builds unique.

They lowered the proc rate on burning dogs in 1.04

Where is that stated?
Gosh darnit.

yeah to only 1 per second

Patch notes. The build is still really strong with lots of proc effects. It just won't be perma cc like it is now.

I guess that would drop the need to have +2 freeze/stun on weapon and shield/mojo.

I might go 2 handed now, with the chance of getting 100% bleed.
Or that spear that can summonangelic res

Still unsure :S
Altho having angelic creatures + fetishes on attack could be an intresting zoo

Is it just me, but having Circle of Life as a passive with 30% chance of spawning a Zombie Dog when you kill something (also having the other three up), Jungle Fortitude (for the 20% damage reduction) and Fierce Loyality (with having 1600 base life regen) that I'll be swarming everything with 20+ dogs at the same time who have 20k+ hp and a nice mitigation and the beforementioned high regen rate? That sounds pretty much OP.

Edit:
With 20 dogs up (that's 9x20=180%) and the Garg (100%) up at the same time that means 280% passive damage to a single target. Woah.

Or is there a limit on how many dogs you can have at the same time?

I think the limit is 3 (4 with the passieve) dogs.
Hence why I think the 3% chance to summon fetish + rain of toads (+50% hidden ias, now waaay cheaper) will be pretty beast.
They only survive for a minute but at bosses they still spawn.

Guide is ruined now

Proc rate of burning dogs 1-> 0.05
Gargy does not proc
Fire pit drops from 0.67 to 0.067

Sigh, *burns guide down*

I have to rebuy a belt, amu, shield, gloves and weapon now

Sigh
