Soul harvest for the extra int.  Summon dogs and gargantuan, send dogs in, blow them all up.  35% chance that dogs come back to live, and a 15% chance that they drop a health globe.  Gruesome feast passive allows you to get a stacking int buff for those health globes, and you can summon 4 dogs at once with Zombie Handler.  With dogs exploding, the Gargantuan hitting things, and your haunts (i took the rune that I assume will make it do more dps, its bugged in the calculator now) bouncing around, things will die, and with Circle of Life they have 5% chance for MORE ZOMBIE DOGS.  Essentially the point of the build is to continually keep 2 stacking int buffs up and sacrificing dogs.  Multiple effects give you more free dogs (such as Big Bad Voodoo 50% chance to res any enemy that dies as a dog) that you can use to explode again.  Get plenty of mana from Gruesome feast and the extra health gloves.

May not be the most effective build, but would be one HELL of a lot of fun to play

EDIT: Ooohhhh... Just noticed zombie dog 60 second CD... that might cause some issues.

Replaced Gargantuan with Zombie Charger (Zombie Bears rune) in my current build so that I would have a spammable spell now.

if you want max crazy sacrifice then just go all out dogs... youre missing some great dog production abilities:
http://us.battle.net...QSYP!bWi!cZZZba  <--- this is similar to a build that Im going to use with a few changes to exploit sacrifice a bit more.

switched the passive to tribal rights because Fetish Army (Amubush) + Big Bad Voodoo (Boogie man) makes a ton of dogs that you can spam sacrifice.  Ambush is prefered on Fetish Army so you frontload the damage and get some kills immediately as you dont want to waste big bad voodoo time.

Ah I missed that rune for mass confusion that summoned dogs...  The only issue I have is there is no spammable ability in your build, thus probably why I would replace either gargantuan or the fetish army.

I think going all out dog abilities can be interesting and its too soon to say if you need a spammable spell.  You just might have a nice flow of dogs coming in that you can just sacrifice almost nonstop.

its probably just a matter of juggling your CDs right.  Some of them can produce lots of dogs fast.  and im not just talking about sumon zombie dogs on a 1 min cd either.  Im talking about the other combos

But you can only have 4 dogs out at once. This means that if any of those skills proc when you are at full stack then you waste something that would be better off on something else. And when nothing procs and you run out of dogs... then you are screwed! I fooled around abit asw with a sacrifice build but never got satisfied. Here is the best I could come up with though.

or it just means you use sacrifice everytime you have 3-4 dogs out... not a big deal dude. thats how all these mass dog sacrifice builds play out.  3-4 dogs on the screen = sacrifice time.

also your build is missing lots of dog production abilities... so not really unlocking the full potential of dog production.  The more dog production = more gratuitous use of sacrifice spam.

not saying going mass dogs will for sure work.. but i am saying that you cant really argue it until all the dog abilties are stacked and one sees how many dogs actually get produced.

My build doesnt focus on dog production. It uses it as a burst damage in support to the firebats and zombie explosion

[VonGimi]

Depending on how much Provoke the Pack stacks.... This build could have just gotten a lot more interesting
