After a long time, I'm trying to get back to my WD, my build is almost round (to please my play style) but I'm still struggling to find a nice primary...
Poison Darts (most builds with splinters) were used since level 3, and being single target is kind of no-no
Corpse Spiders seems to be too dumb, they don't focus their attacks, idk... personal fellings here =p
Plague of Toads are almost the same as spiders, but those dudes really like to run around w/o doing anything, its almost as I'm playing WoW BGs with ally again...
and I'm still trying to look at Firebomb with some pink glassses... but it isn't working =/
One build I had some good time with was the Spirit Barrage with Rush of Essence, but if we ever run out of mana, then we are dead...
that all being said, I'm asking you guys for some opinions on primaries... did you guys test something that was or seemed to be nice?
Any nice primary that works well with some survival skill Life steal/on hit? I want to hear you guys
On my Hardcore Witch Doctor, I use Firebomb (Ghost Bomb) as my left click attack.
I have two legendaries to support it. Razor Strop belt increases my Firebomb damage by 12% and also Magefist gloves gives me another 19% fire damage.Of course the legendaries aren't even compulsory to use Firebomb effectively.
I use Firebomb with Ghost Bomb rune because Firebomb is fast and easy with nice AoE. It has a ginormous AoE range, something like 28 yards so it is good for normal monster encounters! I change the rune to Pyrogeist just before I go and kill a boss because that is stronger against single enemies.
Firebomb also works well with Life on Hit because it has AoE and drains life from all the enemies it hits. My main healing generation isn't Life on Hit though, I actually use Life per Second because it is more disconnection proof in case my internet crashes, or the server lags. I also use the Templar follower's aura to support that. I use Hex (Hedge Magic) for extra healing (and crowd control) as well.
I use Spirit Barrage w/ the rune that gives you back mana per attack, alongside the Rush of Essence passive that gives mana back for each spirit ability used (Spirit Barrage being among them). I use a build that allow me to cast that indefinitely. The spell has a very long range, high damaging, and goes through walls and over wallers' walls.
