I like it, just cleared everything from A1 (chapter 9) up to and killed Butcher. Had 2 dogs die, the entire run. Lost none on Butcher. He barely even moved, they seemed to keep him pinned by the gate. He did one charge and was dead right after.
Ive been doing a somewhat similar pet build, but I add in Legion of Daggers, Bears and BBV (mana). Passives I use VQ, PtV and SV. dogs, garg and legion barrier is unstoppable on just about every pack. Works for me all the way thru act 3.
took me 16 tries before I downed him the first try, mainly because i found the builds i kept trying weren't going to cut it. definitely the toughest boss i've faced yet. Finally, I found the build that worked relatively easy. I used a nutty dogs, legion, garg, bbv (mana), with bear spam. I'm roughly 45k dps and 35k hp with ~600 AR. Basically, run up to him, drop everything and bear spam.. moving slightly away from farts until there's no room, then bolt to the upper left corner and kite him clockwise. He was dead by the time I got to the bottom right corner. With VQ going, you can pretty much bear spam a couple seconds in between kite farts. Especially helps to get your positioning right, so you can push the bears out farther, with your back angled to a wall.
really great guide, thanks so much.... now please go level a WD and report with your findings
One question, do you know of a site somewhat like the one you list for max values on items, but instead for weapon dps by ilvl? Im constantly wondering is my ilvl 25-59 weapon that just dropped has awesome dps for its lvl...
I dont know why there would be a question if it "works or not"? But it is absolutely worth doing. Feels cheesey to me, but I do it all the time. I switch on packs/bosses around 3% hp to my 230% mf set. Its a hassle, but just line all your gear up across the top row and just mad click down the line. takes a couple seconds.
Any ideas on its true value. Would be amazing with 278% crit damage.
