I hit level 60 a few days ago and have since bought a few gear upgrades here and there, but I still get WIPED HARD in anything above MP1 on Inferno.
Am I doing something wrong? I've tried a sacrifice build, pet build, and zombie bear build. Bears did the best but even then I was dying to elite packs at least four times (which isn't helpful when trying to do farming runs).
There are some good acid cloud builds for farming act 3 MP0. I like using darts + CC. Darts are low mana cost and have a HUGE ranged. I can dart really annoying demons from off the screen and never get hit. I think WD is a bit more gear dependent versus other classes. You need 30k dps or more and at least 50k health. But it all depends. Honestly, I think you should find something you ENJOY and just do that until you find enough items worth selling to buy some upgrades. What's the point if you're not having fun?
I have 50k DPS right now with about 35k health and 500+ all resist. I just keep blowing up when trying to run MP3+. I don't know. I feel like with 50k DPS & good resist, I should be able to mow through some of that stuff.
I've mostly tried every build I've come across, but I notice a few options with each of them:
Zombie Bears: I have to be too close and I die quickly
Sacrifice: I don't do enough damage up front to actually get dogs to spawn in the first place
Acid Cloud: ...also known as "Dude, where's my mana?"
I could just be utter shite at this game which would explain a lot. If anyone feels like taking the time to maybe check out my gear/stats and telling me if I'm not even ready for the stuff I've been trying (and possibly suggest upgrade options), I'd love you forever. I can't post a link to my profile because I'm a new user, but my profile is on battle.net under reckonerX#1716.
I just really want to make this work because I love the playstyle of the WD (it's so unique, comparatively) but I just am not surviving or getting out the damage I need to... it boggles my mind that my friend who plays a Monk can just dive right in and not lose hardly any health while melting elites at MP2. I know LoH is supposed to be a really good stat...but does it make THAT much of a difference?
I run a acid cloud build and have no problem with mana . Make sure you have the right gear for the right build. WD love pickup radius, or at least I do. Also posting your profile would help alot in judging if something is wrong on that end.

So... any advice for a newbie WD?
