I am absolutely in love with the speed at which I can go through inferno 0 on this build. My goal for the moment is to be improve to run MP2 with high MF. I really like acid rain, but I am willing to switch it (just not to zombie bears - tried it and it wasn't fun). The same can be said for Thing of the Deep.
So, any build suggestions would be appreciated.
As for gear, I have some questions.
First, as Acid Rain is poison damage, does that mean items (Stone of Jordan, Tal Rasha's Allegience) that boost poison damage will boost this spells damage, or do I need a weapon with poison damage?
As for items, I am looking to upgrade 1 ring to a Stone of Jordan (Zunni's set is out of my price range), but I was also thinking that the 2 set bonus might make it worth my time to get a Zunni ring instead. There will obviously be a pretty drastic drop off in effective damage (trash mobs die to fast to matter in this equation). The life on hit and all resists would add a lot of utility, but I doubt it would be worth the damage drop off (especially if the SOJ poison damage increases Acid Rain)
For the amulet I am thinkking a Tal Rasha's Ellegience with MF (although might go with LOH instead).
I want to switch the pants to Blackthornes.
I want to add some MF to my bracers.
Other than that, I am ok with my gear, although suggestions for upgrades are more than welcome).
I am relatively poor, but am willing to save up to say 10 million per piece of gear, so any suggestions are welcome.
And finally, for weapons. Right now I have enough mana regen that I never run out. And I have that amazing pick up radius that synergies with my spells.
But I have a decent skorn that is a pretty huge damage upgrade. It would take a bit of tinkering to get the gear with enough pick up radius, and I would loose a ton of my regen, so I am not sure it is worth the gold to switch (and I really don't want to spend all the gold to find out through trial and error).
I have over 500 hours on my WD shes bascially the only class I play anymore.
These are my suggestions and may differ from others. I fly the bear banner, if you have seen any of my other posts I am positive that in later MP levels bears are the only way to go. I compliment bears with rain of toads for 3 reasons. The proc rate of the skill is the highest you can get on a single target, (it hits even faster then darts) the problem is with mobs that move around then it can be a pain in the butt. RoT has a small hit radius, so if there are some mobs tightly packed together can hit 3+ meaning really good LOH procs, and lastly it is the only skill that can be used over obstacles, mainly waller elites. So for a skill I use it basically for the LOH and life steal crit procs, which work perfect against reflect dmg mobs and like I said wallers.
If you are in lvoe with your WD and plan on gearing him up and stacking high paragon levels stop worrying about mf all together. in a couple weeks with enough play you can be at paragon 50 playing at MP5 and your mf wont need any boosts from your gear at all.
As with every other class you want to stack CD, CH, Resis all, your main stat (int) and vit, and if u can get it attack speed. Aim to get your CH to 30% and CD to over 300%.
Personally if you want to stick with acid/Rot I would seriously look into upping your health and looking for a Skorn with LOH or life steal.
Lastly if you gear up a bit and find yourself wanting to take on higher MP levels and acid cloud jsut isnt cutting( Common complaint around MP4+) it anymore feel free to add me ingame I can give you the low down on bears.
Finally got some LOH and tried out rain of toads, and it's pretty sweet. Very nice when I try higher MP levels. Bears has great damage, but the range is pretty meh. Still loving Acid Rain though for MP1-2. Can definately see the limitations as you go up to higher MP levels though, as the damage just doesn't scale well.
