Quit my wizard because having to rely on Archon being up was just lame. Whats a good build if using a high LoH(2500ish) to keep my health up along with a Skorn? Also is it true I dont want attack speed? I have read in several posts that its a bad stat especially if using a 2 hander. Is 4 piece Zuni important or not really? Finally for pickup radius how much do I need for Gruesome Feast and Grave Injustice? Also with 2500 LoH and farming Act 3 MP0 can I basically facetank everything while watching TV?
hey faithful, I started playing the witch doctor again last week and Its really fun. I spent just 8-9mill on some gear and Im able to do act3 runs on mp6 without worries. Dps wise hes great but you need to get used to timing his skills right and positioning also. Im at 2 piece zunis atm but 4piece is great to start out and do your key, loot and exp farming, once you get rich you can switch to better items which have mana/sec as a stat. About pickup radius it depends on your build. I use bears so I need about 10-12 yards but I just have a thing of the deep in the offhand that gives a whooping 20 yards so I can progress through my runs fluidly because I dont have to run up to every piece of gold and hpglobe. LoH isnt so good for bears but it is good if you plan on using rain of frogs for example. For my bears I have a manajuma dagger with 2.80% lifesteal and it really lets me just sit in the middle of 100 mobs and bear them to pieces but it wont sustain through desecration or if mobs focus me entirely, thats why I got dogs with the life leech rune.
I restarted my WD and lvl with MP10. ALready lvl 44 and only in act 2 of nightmare. Its a blast! Not sure what build I'll use at lvl 60 as I'm just using random builds as is. If anybody can point me to a good build for a fresh lvl 60 it would be great.
Attack speed is better for fast base weapons. Honestly 1h daggers (not ceremonial knives) are the best for attack speed since they are 1.5 base speed. For 2H you want crit and crit damage. I've been using a dagger + thing of the deep with lots of attack speed and the dps is perfectly fine for me, but if you want to see huge numbers it's not right for you. Also, if you go the fast attack speed route it's good to get chance on hit to CC stuff (fear on helm, blind on ammy, stun on gloves) and it's a lot cheaper than resist all gear. I'm running with flaming dart, fire locusts, grasp of the dead (the extra slow one), soul harvest/spirit walk, and leeching beast zombie dogs. I use Pierce the Veil since the mana drain with my build is practically zero, gruesome feast for more DPS (and because my pickup radius is 45 yards) and grave injustice for more grasps, faster dog respawn, more spirit walk, and more 5 stack soul harvests (and also, with a 45 yard pickup radius it's pretty fun).
WD is a versatile character, I've been playing mine since beta and release, and nothing compares for fun. I'm squishy, and die really easily, especially above MP6, but mobs don't really hit me all that much, and with enough LOH and life steal it's easy to get back the health I lose.
Honestly I think just play around with some stuff, see what you enjoy. What's the point if you're not having fun? Here's my profile:

I doubt there are many people using a similar build, but I really enjoy it
