Hey guys,
I've been playing W.D. since I got the game and I love the class. I'm having a little trouble in Mp 4-5 and I was wondering if you could give me a little advice. here is my profile link http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/NollicTitan-1813/hero/3603405
any advice would be great. Thanks in advance
1). I am not self found, but I'm not going to invest more cash so I will only spend found or earned gold.
2). Actually the only skill I don't use that much is Soul Harvest.
3). I just play for enjoyment but I like to increase difficulty for a challenge so I would like to slowly get up to MP-10.
The reason I use what I use is because
poison dart- hits hard
acid cloud-great for swarms
Zombie charger- amazing for swarms and elites
Firebomb - small swarms
Soul Harvest - swarms but not often
Gargantuan - lots of health and hits hard and takes some demon focus off me
any advice would be amazing and I will try anything once. I just play for fun
Well, I surely didnt expect any real money investment, rather was just trying to get an eyeball of the gold you had to spend.
I have a suggestion for a spider bears spec that you may find comfortable:
Active skills:
Corpse Spiders-widowmakers
Zombie Charger- Zombie bears
Spirit Walk- Honored Guest
Zombie Dogs- Life Link
Soul Harvest- Vengeful Spirit
Mass Confusion- Paranoia
Passive skills:
Grave Injustice
Blood Ritual
And pick one: Spirit Vessel, Gruesome Feast, or Jungle fortitude (I recommend spirit vessel for you)
Corpse spiders will be good for small packs, trash mobs and mana return
Zombie bears is going to be your man skill for handling packs and elites
Spirit walk: 2 second invulnerability and mana return
Zombie dogs: 10% damage reduction and will face tank mobs pretty well
Soul harvest: some damage, but more importantly a large int buff to hel out your damage
Mass confusion: paranoia will help you kill elites faster and confused mobs tank for you
Gear suggestions:
I'd pick up a zunimassa's vision (helm) and a zunimassa's pox (ring). The extra mana regen, along with mana on kill and the extra all resist will improve your survival.. Along with the %life on helm and potential for more %life from an amethyst socket. If you can afford crit for the helm and ring those would be optimal solutions.
Keep rolling int gloves til you can replace the IK gloves
Finally, and this is a big one: you might want to consider getting a socketed manajuma knife, or more optimally, replacing the manajuma with a socketed non-elemental weapon with life steal. Manajuma comes with great stats, but also is fast, where WD only really benefits from IAS in a few situations. Another good solution would be a Skorn. A decent life steal/intelligence skorn is not too expensive and would be an excellent solution, regardless of spec.
Something to keep in mind when looking at upgrades
Crit > crit damage > intellect > attack speed
Even though attack speed might give an appealing paper doll DPS boost, you will actually get more benefit out o other stats, and might want to use it sparingly

1- Are you playing self-found? If not, what does your budget look like?
2- Out of the skills you currently use, which do you like the feel of the most?
3- Do you have a monster power setting goal? Or are you more just looking for overall enjoyment increase?
I feel if you answer these 3 questions that I can get you some useful character solutions.

If the spec doesn't work for you, there are plenty of other viable options to explore.
Good luck and good hunting!
