When it comes to speed runs, nothing is quite as fun or fast as the Angry Chicken Witch Doc. This is my take on the build for patch 2.6.1

Gameplay: Fast as fast can be for the Witch Doc, this build runs through Rifts and bounties at an incredible rate. Aggressive and still semi-active gameplay. Get in your enemies face with your pets for more damage, and rewarded on kill with cooldown reduction and more with our passives. Stay mobile though while also able to hit enemies at range if need be with Acid Cloud. Cold damage rolled on our Nemesis Bracers for more punishment from our Garg, Wall, and Acid Cloud will make mobs want to retreat as soon as they spawn from shrines.

Gear: Some slight alternatives can be found, but recommended really is recommended as it gives great performance and gains for your items and time invested. Goldwrap belt and Boon of the Hoarder gem is great gold gains as well as Armor to help us take a punch better. Alternatives listed in case you're missing some items. I prefer to max my Jeram Mask in cube and wear Tasker and Theo, but either way is fine.

As for rerolls, go for Gargantuan damage where possible (ex: Shoulders, Chest, Offhand) , and Cold on bracers.

Skills: Why Acid Cloud? We have tons of mana and I perfer a more active playstyle than just waiting for my pets to do all the work for me. Seemed like the right choice considering the buff with the set. Would have gone maybe with bats, but no cold rune. Zombie Bears burns mana too fast imo. If you're feeling really lazy though and don't mind just running in circles, run Soul Harvest instead or something as lazy with power gains.

Outro: Feedback is welcome if you feel like the build can be better. Keep in mind I'm not going for 100% efficiency though. Mobs die within a few seconds even with low paragon and few ancient items. Enjoy!
