hey faithful, I started playing the witch doctor again last week and Its really fun. I spent just 8-9mill on some gear and Im able to do act3 runs on mp6 without worries. Dps wise hes great but you need to get used to timing his skills right and positioning also. Im at 2 piece zunis atm but 4piece is great to start out and do your key, loot and exp farming, once you get rich you can switch to better items which have mana/sec as a stat. About pickup radius it depends on your build. I use bears so I need about 10-12 yards but I just have a thing of the deep in the offhand that gives a whooping 20 yards so I can progress through my runs fluidly because I dont have to run up to every piece of gold and hpglobe. LoH isnt so good for bears but it is good if you plan on using rain of frogs for example. For my bears I have a manajuma dagger with 2.80% lifesteal and it really lets me just sit in the middle of 100 mobs and bear them to pieces but it wont sustain through desecration or if mobs focus me entirely, thats why I got dogs with the life leech rune.
