***Update*** It seems that they've put a hotfix in that Ring of Emptiness now DOES NOT apply to the damage of your pets. I'll be updating the guides accordingly.
Hey everybody!
Just like the previous 2 seasons, here is the Witch Doctor "Meta" build guide. I think it's nice to have all the top builds in one place for a reference, then you can just bookmark the page.
Within the next couple of days I'll be working on fleshing out the written guides as well as uploading videos.
- WD pets don't proc Oculus ring, I hope it's already been reported
- Follower is just standing and doing nothing most of the time (Enchantress)
- Zombie Dogs vs Pirhando: without Pirhando and with the modified CC, mobs just running around, as my pets too, hitting single mobs, no AD efficiency
- >75% of Rift Guardian simply impossible to kill with pet build: teleporting, knocking pets constantly, spawns deflect my pets
- Not to mention most of the maps just leave/start game
My 2.4.1 HT WD was able to do 92, but not higher, paragon cap I think, need more AR and some VIT on paragon. With RoE my power is nearly the same, with some fishing I've closed 93 (15:35).
Conclusion: for higher solo gr RoE makes no difference in solo mode, I need gem upgrade (with the nerfs it will be very hard to do) and paragon farming, sounds very boring.
I don't know how you can say RoE makes no difference, the damage is WAAAAAAY higher with this change, not to mention you get much quicker single target kills by spamming Haunt on Rift Guardians and stacking Stricken up very high.
Check your T10 LoN Walker build, I did comment about playability with 2.4.2 there. Maybe you want to have a look
Thanks bud.
I think the LoN Walker build is still going to be great for 25-60 GRIFTS for low level gem leveing. For Torment 13, without really crazy good gear, it'll be tough to make it efficient enough.
I figured I would make a compendium of all the "Meta" build guides for season 6 for the Witch Doctor class. I did the same last season and it was pretty well received. I think it's nice to have all the top specs in once place as a reference. Have any questions? Ask live at www.twitch.tv/j_macc
90+ viable solo specs
This is going to be the go to solo spec this season from the looks of it
I've said it 3 times now, to put every top build in 1 place as a reference. I did the same thing last season and a lot of people said it helped. so I did it again, are you just ignoring what I'm saying? Do you think you "made" Zuni gargs because you posted the build before somebody else? I'm not claiming any build, just simply compiling all the top builds in one place.

90+ viable solo specs
This is going to be the go to solo spec this season from the looks of it
2.4.1 Helltooth Gargs 90+ Solo
Next some builds that may not be the optimal pushing spec, but are still capable of 90+
2.4.1 Zuni Pets 90+ Solo Build
A 90 was completed with Jade on the PTR, the highest I ever did pesonally was 86.
2.4.1 Jade Harvester 85+ GRIFT Solo
A couple variations of Carnevil and LoN Gargs/firebats should be able to push into the 90s as well, I'll update once I've tested this.
T10 Speed Builds
2.4.1 Helltooth Angry Chicken Pets Speed T10/Bounties
2.4.1 "Walker" LoN Locust Swarm/Pets Speed T10/Gemups
Zunis Sage
2.4.1 Arachyr Manajuma Angry Chicken Speed T10
One more version of Arachyr should be viable as well, focusing on Locust Swarm. I'll update once I've tested it more.
GRIFT 100+/XP Runs Support ZDoc(Group)
2.4.1 ZDOC Support 100+ GRIFTS
Starter Zuni Build
