started to run this build the other day and I liked it but was looking for some unique ways to deal damage.
I thought of this. Rheno Flayer with Explosive Toads using the depth diggers and a simplicitys strength gem. Stacking fire damage where possible. . Then basically going with Explosive Toads, Piranhado, Horrify, Spirit Walk, Mass Confusion, and BBV. If my Math is correct I would have BBV on a 43 second timer. Does this seem like it would work? The damage per toad would be base(Depth Digger+Simplicity+fire skill damage)+base?
You need a 100% uptime of BBV, or even more. Not sure how you get to your 43s BBV timer (it all depends on CDR and when using GI killspeed/mob density), but it's not enough.
Explosive Toads aren't that great; I love my Rheno Flayer but in GRs Rain of Toads is much better, especially as it has a high proc rate and allows for lots of Fetishes with the passive.
Depth Diggers don't work for Witch Doctor (and Wizard)
I have yet to find any class/build that deals a significant amount of damage with the Simplicity gem... I kind of feel it's useless.
If you want to deal damage with the Tiklandian build, take the Fetish Sycophants passive and equip your DPS gear (just keep the Tiklandian Visage). But due to the fact that you give up on Mask of Jeram, your damage will never be that high. Same with any Jade build. The problem is that both high-DPS wizard builds require a helmet - and that slot is obviously already occupied with the Tiklandian Visage.
Edit: Meh, super slow... I should've just posted the DD thing and edited afterwards Serious beat me to it.
I guess what I am I was hoping for was something outside of the pets. If the depth diggers did work I liked the way the damage looked.
I did that last night and just switched the mask and kept everything else the same. It was a bit lackluster in terms of damage and the cooldown took a hit so it wasnt a perma lockdown.
I hate rain of toads. I used it for so long on the 360 that I just grew to be bored with it. Thats why I was looking for something outside the norm.
As when I team I usually zdps it and just go with all support. But thanks for your thoughts.
WOW. Thanks for the links, that might actually bring back the formerly dead pet WD for me. I'll give that a try. I felt that even with full DPS gear and MoJ my damage was too low, so I didn't even think that this could work... turns out I was horribly wrong. Thanks!
