Re: Helltooth...there are also some posts on the Blizz WD boards from folks experimenting with the Helltooth set, there is one poison-based variant that looks interesting; it uses the Grin Reaper helm.
In looking at responses here, I'd hope that people on these boards might be willing and able to be more thoughtful than to just trash-talk ("We've got a real PRO here") or dismiss something as being for "scrubs" without saying anything that actually has substance.
For any newer WDs trying to read this thread for the sake of information, the Blackthorne set bonus is actually quite useful even if it isn't amazing. Blackthorne is worth using, especially in combination with the Aughild set bonus. It's so solid that you could justify using it until the Zunimassa or Helltooth sets get re-worked. But I'm probably just a scrub
So you didn't try the build and either didn't watch the video, or didn't listen to what Debo said, or didn't understand what he said. But you just wanted to post something negative about a guide he took the time and trouble to put together -- a guide where he clearly explained the limitations of the build. OK.
I tried this build last night. Just on T4, mind you...but it was fun and effective. As pointed out in the guide, the zombie wall actually offers some pretty nice control over mobs, which I found useful for things like mallet lords. I appreciated the guide; it encouraged me to try something a little different just for fun, and it turned out to be a pretty decent little build. As the guide points out, it doesn't have the full power of a functional endgame set, but we all know that some sets need re-tuning. I hope this will be one of them. In the meantime, it can absolutely be used, and absolutely is effective.
