Hey guys I'm Debo, I Main the Witch Doctor class, ever since the beta for Diablo 3 Vanilla. Encouraging players to try out the Witch Doctor class, and enjoy Diablo 3 is my major focus. I started to do this by compiling my thoughts in guides, and streaming to provide information to those who seek it.

"Now that the formalities are out of the way:"

**Gear/Follower/Skill Setup**

Gear/Follower/Skill Setup:

Link to my setup:

http://imgur.com/a/vrqvD

**Gem Setup**

**Bane of the Trapped**

* Solid Damage increase for our build, will allows us to 1/2 Shot Elites, and Rift Guardians

* Auto Procs itself @ LV 25 (We will always be within range due to Angry Chicken explosion radius)

**Bane of the Powerful**

* 20% Damage Increase After defeating an elite, solid choice since out goal is to do as much upfront damage as possible to take out packs in one shot.

* 15% Increased Damage vs Elites (requires level 25)

* 15% Less Damage Received vs Elites (requires level 25)

**Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard**

* Regenerates 10000 Life per Second (Increases per level), this gem is here to provide us some additional toughness, and survivability while running into huge mob packs.

* After not taking damage for 4 seconds, gain an absorb shield for 200% of your total Life per Second, this is the Real reason why we are running this gem, the shield will greatly help mitigate damage.

Build Guide

**Before we start anything, let me state some things:**

* The Best Solo Build for WD in Patch 2.4.2 is **Jade** followed by **Helltooth**

* The Best Group Build for WD In Patch 2.4.2 is **Helltooth/Firebats**

* The most Optimal Torment for this Build for Bounties is: T8-T10 Depending on Gear

* The most Optimal Torment for Normal Rifts is: T8-T10 Depending on Gear

Angry Chicken Build

The Angry Chicken Build is pretty straight forward. 6 Piece Arachyr Set to increase the Damage of Hex Angry Chicken by 800%, Manajuma's Set to increase Angry Chicken Damage by another 200%, with the added effect of 15 seconds time allotted in chicken form, increased speed, and a exploding like palm effect when enemies die to it.

What is the difference between This Angry Chicken, and the others?

The Primary damage of the build comes from Hex "Angry Chicken" Skill. We stack more towards elite damage so that we can deliver 1-2 Chicken Explosions to kill a Elite Pack/Rift Guardian. An easy thing to remember is this: "Big mobs big damage" "Small Mobs, Small Damage." If an elite pack or Rift Guardian is surrounded by trash mobs 95% of the time you will one shot them, and that is the intent of the build.

If your in a Rush...
