I use just health globes from dogs. You can detonate them and heal without mobs around. Was doing ghom and just detonated dogs few times, bam 3 health globes.
I got 20y pickup radius because i geared this char for other spec, and that stat just left on my gear, turns to be real helper. You can stand far from dogs, and still insta-grab globes once they appear. Massive healing.
This is also the way to get cheap gear. Instead of expensive mitigation gear (resists), get more stuff with vit and life. EHP will be same as on really well gearek 1k all res wd, but much cheaper. If you get some slots without res, but massive stats (such as chest, pants, shoulder ect). Some armors with 40ish resists, so they are cheaper, and massive health. I got 50k, but my gear is random, i just picked <1m pieces from ah.
Health globes dont care how much health you got so, it is kind of unique way to heal, and gear for it is relatively cheap.
Played bit co-op, and with barb shout i can melee shit no prob, so it is matter of stats, better items and this will become possible without barb buff. If you get 0cd, and can tank elites, gg no re, 1.1k% damage spam in the face about 2x/s with good ias. Best dps in the game.
What is bit problematic is to get good dps. Offhand sucks, helm will most likely suck if it has to be 9s timer reduction (most likely without crit chance). To pull good dps with these penalties you need real good crit armors that are left, so 10 gloves, 4 rings, 6 bracers, quite expensive if you also want pickup radius on them. And crit bonus plays massive role in dps of wd, which has really high inteligence thanks to soul harvest. Most people cant afford crit bonus + socket weapon, so even adding 30% from ring improves dps dramatically (because you are working on relatively low base crit bonus). In comparision, if you have dual wield nado barb with 500+% crit bonus, addint 20% more doesnt change dps that much. For wd it is much bigger difference.
also lol i made mistake in my spec, not using pyrogheist, using grasp of the dead
dunno wtf did i paste, i had few calculators opened, and it is was not the one i wanted
