I do not play a witch doctor, however i am looking into purchasing a weapon upgrade for a friend,
Only issue is that i do not really know what i am looking for.
These are the stats on his current two hander.
1163.1
832-1175
1.16 attacks per second
+265-607
22% IAS
What am i looking for in a upgrade, Intellect, Does type of weapon matter? One hander? If anyone could share some knowledge i would very much appreciate it.
Ideally, Witch Doctors want a fast 1-hander with aspd and crit damage, and a mojo off-hand with high damage and crit chance, and obviously int on both is always good

Is it better to stack more INT than INT/VIT? My DPS is currently 17k with 27k hp. Im in act 2 and im currently being 2 shotted. I used to have 36k hp but I was still dying quick anyways.

i disagree
@op as well...
It really depends upon current gear and how you play the game. Do you use Darts and kite everything? Then get the fastest one hander/off hand combo. Do you use bears or bats? Go with a slow-ass two hander (.90/.95 tops). Once you get that 1400+ dps two hander and there is nowhere else to go, you'll get more damage out of a fast one hander/offhand combo regardless of your spell selection. Not to mention that two handers are cheaper.

TLDR; BETTER TO GET MORE INT THAN INT/VIT?
MOAR INT!! Seriously though... I was having a heck of a time with Act 2 until I decided to forget about resist and vit and just go with IAS and int (+ dmg, + crit, +crit damage is also good if you can afford it). After I stacked damage and accepted the fact that I'll be 1 shot... I cleared 3/4 of Act 3 and all of Act 4 in one day.
One warning though... I'm not sure how far out the next patch is but that might change everything. I'm holding off on the trigger for new items until I see if vit + resist will actually matter once the Inferno nerf hits. If stacking medium amounts of resist + vit will allow us to take 3-4 hits in Act 3/4 then I'll be switching my gear around and trying to average things out a bit. There's nothing more frustrating than a terror demon coming out of stealth and 1 shotting you.

Yeah man. Once you realize that you'll be one/two shot in Act 3/4 regardless of your health, mitigation or resist, Inferno becomes that much easier.
