Should be darts unless your doing bear build.. in which case your only real dmg is when you have rain dance...

I've recieved some whispers about manaproblems.
I suggest that you keep the manapool on 800+ since there are a lot of % mana reg.
800 seems to be the cap where you don't go oom that quickly.
Spirit attunement is a good solution to this!

Another thing that I've had lots of whispers about is where I mf.
Atm. I am running A4 iskatu solo runs with the build I stated at start, works really great and the drops are amazing:)
I haven't progressed further than rakanoth because I don't want to abuse it, otherwise I would probably farm A4 somewhere.

ias = ? = 2hits /sec = 140mana*2= 280mana used in 1 sec
280/4vision quest = 70base regen needed for never mana problems!

base regen = 20
merc regen = 2
item regen goes upto 11regen * 3 items
=
55 base regen

Spirit attunement +800mana = 800*1.2*0.01= 9.6mana/sec, and gaining a bigger mana buffer
Blood packt = -15%mana cost = -15%less regen needed = 55/85*15 = 9.7mana/sec needed to keep up blood packt, also gaining 1%life/sec
Turbo Regen (300-700mana/sec) you get from Pierce the Vail+Spirit Vessle+Fast Casting a spirit skill!

Im using Vision quest and spiritual attunement for my bearbuild to get mana and it works out fine. But i didnt hit inferno yet...

ThanQ for sharing !

diablofans and ingamers all have post on this build killing inferno butcher in 9 secs.


LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODYES DISCOVERED THE NEW HAMMERDIN!

It doesnt scale too well on the higher level bosses. Being that close to a3 and a4 you will be 1 shot =/ but yes for butcher farming if you can get to him pretty easily you should be able to down him under 10 seconds. I can kill him in like 6-7 depending on spread of bears.

apparently this build is bad on champion packs?

Why is it?


Also, how long does WD summons last against them?

Just don't do it, even your gargantuan is going to die 1-2 seconds against white mobs on act I Inferno, forget him being of use anywhere else, and the dogs stop being even mildly effective somewhere in the beginning of hell.

You can spam bears using vision quest against champions, I do it all the time, but again, you're going to probably want to time it so that your spirit walk is coming off cooldown in time to get away, you're going to be cutting it really close with this sort of build.

Pretty much this. Summons are pretty worthless except the gargantuan will take a hit for you.
