Build Guide

A pet project of mine since he game launched. I have been attempting to create a viable (Torment X) Witch Doctor build that utilizes Asheara's set and focuses on Lightning and Stun locking the enemies. So far it hasn't been all that successful and I am hoping that the community might chime in on how I could improve the build.
