My advice would be not to buy shitty legendaries/sets. All your legendaries could easily be replaced with rates that are not only better but cheaper. The biggest example would be your TotD. Why are you using it without a grave injustice build? Kinda pointless. Could get a mojo 10x cheaper and better.

So don't go waste more on zuni pieces unless they're actually nice, especially the ring.
Don't take this the wrong way, I just see way to many players who think simply buying a legendary is BiS, when it's actually not because of how bad the stats are. Unless you found everything, then you made that mistake.


I haven't updated my build. I have started using a Grave Injustice build and that is the only reason I bought the TotD. I am working on finding a nice Mana OH though for the Set bonus.

I have a important question.

What would it take to increase my dps (by a good bit) by replacing my skorn with a 1h/offh on my WD?

Here is my setup (ignore other gear its my mf setup, though it is very similar to my main just slightly lower stats/crit sub'd with mf)

Im not going to spend 200m on this unless i have factual mathematical data to back up the numbers before making a purchase so if anyone can help that would be wonderful ;D

Hey guys, fresh 60 WD here. I dumped about 50 mil into gear today and was fooling around with different specs and was wondering if someone could give me a good sacrifice build for my gear level. I'm completely unfamiliar with this class and not sure what skills I should be using.

also what do I do against mortar? When I have 3+ guys spraying mortars while I'm trying to cast and whatnot I keep getting raped (I've mostly only played barb up to now so this is unfamiliar to me)

those zunimasa

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/PoWDeR-1405/hero/25386810

are the old one. No point in that. Get the ring/chest/helm/boots whatever combo or set bonuses u want to acheive. For me i have mediocre boots no all resist, and my helm is low int 150.

but yea only get mediocre if the set bonus + the pieces outweigh stat son other gear.

eg: my helm and boots outweight getting ice climbers and a nice helm because of the +130 int. Also there's no affordable 240+ int zuni helms which is why i got the medciore till i can raise enough money or i find a cheap one. Almost snagged one for 140mil a week or two ago now they are like 180-300 wtfs. not enough being found i guess.

If ur only going for 3 piece i suggest helm, boots, ring as the tal rasha chest is soo much better.

Sure. I used it myself for quite some time but then realised that it didn't really add all that much.
The area is quite small, thereby massively limiting its usefulness whenever I need to do the smallest bit of kiting (which I need to, since I play Darts).
On most packs it simply doesn't add much because most packs are a formality anyway. As for the packs that I struggle with, kiting is required, which means that I will walk out of the area effect.
I switched to Garg instead. He is a fantastic tank and lets me Dart / Acid Rain everything to death within seconds. Add in Barricade and Bob's your uncle.


well wd are versatile. Builds are depedent on playstyle. i'm a kill everything under 3 seconds or die , or find 5 more mobs, get cd on spirit walk, get mana full and spam bears again (in totem). I used to use acid cloud when i messed with loh. But loh doesn't proc well with bears as i've tried 1200+ loh and safe to say my hp didn't go up at all. For sure if u are darts u don't need bbv, prob horrify/wall would be much better. The bbv is viable but for bears i must use it, plus in party play that's almost 40% more dps to 3 people.


unbuffed with leorics ring im at 108k dps


With soul harvest 5 stacked, and 5 health globes + totem i think i peak at 297k for 10 seconds. @that dps i can see major crits like 700k so i guess bbv works very well with my build + the short cd from the grave injustice. In inferno most mobs have 2-3mil so they melt quite fast. In party play they can have up to like 23mil so it takes me a bit longer but with totem lasting 20 seconds.

but again playstyle is dif for every witch doctorzzz.
