Posted Dec 13, 2018Hi.
Firstly, welcome to Diablo 3. I have been playing since launch and have a love hate relationship with the game, mainly due to frustrations of how the game and buffs/balances are being managed.
I have played many hours and mainly on the Witch Doctor class. I would strongly recommend that you watch some of Big Daddy Den's YouTube video's is you want to follow the meta (main stream main damage for solo and group or utility group builds). He is very knowledgeable on Witch Doctor and a lot of people send him ideas to test and he does, which is really cool.
Unfortunately, the WD has become a class where you have to go all-in for a 6 piece set bonus, or you will not be pushing any decent damage. The large damage multipliers are all in the 6 piece bonuses for each of the WD sets.
Comments on your build:
1/. 2 piece Spirit of Arachyr is not worth it. The damage output is very small and you are unable to control it (no Corpse Spider in your build).
2/. In the current state of the game (Patch 2.6.1), the fetishes are merely meat shields. Their damage is too low to be much more than that unfortunately. They will however assist in proc'ing the Pain Enhancer Gem. The fetishes may hinder your build, if you are aiming to make a semi-Jade build that doesn't rely on the explosion of the Soul Harvest (6 piece set bonus, which is where the real damage is in the Jade set). If you are aiming to maximize the Haunt spell, then this should be fine, although you really only need the 2 piece Jade bonus then. If Haunt is the main damage dealing spell, then you want +15% Haunt damage on your shoulders, chest and off-hand pieces.
3/. Your build may struggle with damage output, thus may struggle with suitability.
Actually, if you are on PC version, just message and chat to me in game. There is too much to discuss and explain here to put it into writing. You are trying to do too much. The state of the game directs maximum damage builds at specializing at the source of damage while balancing suitability.
On PC, my game tag is Rhinoxx#2395 on the Europe servers.
Go watch Big Daddy Den WD videos.
Kind regards.
