I have been using this build since the release of 1.0.4-patch. It is extremely effective build, which is why I would like to share it.

It is pretty much the only way to have a heal other players in this game. On top of that, the build offers great amount of damage and survivability with very little micro-managing. You won't need any mana regeneration either.

build: http://us.battle.net...dYUX!dYh!cYYZaY
gameplay video: https://www.youtube....eature=youtu.be

The first part of the video is with "Provoke the Pack"-rune and the 2nd part is with "For the Master". For example in the Ghom-fight I get all of the healing through health-globes.

For solo-play, I recommend using "For the Master", because you have very little chance of dying (fallen maniacs still hurt). I switch between Horrify - Frightening Aspect and Horrify - Stalker. Stalker is better for the farming runs. In co-op I personally play with "Provoke the Pack", because the enemies have more HP and my stats are high enough for me to survive with just the health-globes.

In any case, the build is very competitive with the usual "GI + Totd + Zombie Bears"-builds

very interesting build although bit hard to achieve 0 CD on dogs, currently iam on 28 seconds (mojo+head) and I am looking for skull grasp ring but they are expensive

[ballon]

45s Zombie Dogs cooldown

-12s Tribal Rites
-20s Homunculus
-9s any rare WD head
-4s Skull Grasp

What's about adding 3 items with pickup radius and using Grave Injustice instead of Zombie Handler? Trading 25% of your Sacrifice damage/healing for faster movement due to (almost) no cooldown on Spirit Walk & Horrify?

Are there other ways (items) to achieve this? IIRC at least SoJ and Maras offer this stat as well. Maybe it's even possible to run without Tribal Rites.

[Azri]

iam aware of these items but ring/neck are expensive. i will work on getting them. i just hope blizz will not nerf this

[Derwiv33]

Actually, Tribal Rites rounds down, so it's -11 seconds from that.
It is possible to get the cooldown down without Tribal Rites, but that will impact heavily on your DPS.
(you lose lots of critical hit damage and chance from necklace and rings).

I used Grave Injustice when my pickup radius was 19, but I did some gear-upgrades and lost some of that. It was a nice addition to solo-play, because the enemies are so much weaker. In groups, I rather take all the damage I can get, since the movement speed is different for everyone.

@Azri: We are safe at least until 1.0.6

Heheh, a couple of days ago you posted "love it" and now you sold them.
Did you reroll? or are you preparing for future nerfs? or maybe you found a more enjoyable build?

I would like to try this build but ring or neck cost like 100m. unbelievable.

[ghonasyph]

paying 20 million for the ring giving a 1 sec cd is rediculous.... lol let alone a good one for @80 + guess i stuck with another build till then!

You can get the Mara. It cost as much.

[NoSignToLife]

definately more fun than the bear build in my opinion
but iam curious how this will work in pvp

[Beasty30]

I dont get why people say this is expensive.
Its like 50mill. 50mill now is like 1mill in 1.03.. All the people that play for a while have 2-3 billion gold..

I dont play this build mainly. But i bought a 19s homonuc for like 5mill, a mara 5s for 20mill and the helm with 9s for 1.5mill... So its really not expensive at all.
