Hey boyz!

HELLTOOTH GOT NERFED INTO THE GROUND LOL, In my opinion this is the best Witch Doctor build you can run for SOLO & GROUP (from my testing on the PTR)


J A D E B O Y S

Please note: I always keep my diablo fans guides up to date and will be making adjustments to the guide whenever there is a shift in meta! so be sure to check back, and vote on the guide!

Basic game-play strategy:

  • Maintain 10 Soul Harvest stacks & harvest enemies on cooldown
  • Press Horrify every 8 seconds (for the armour buff)
  • Locust Swarm everything! (Vile hive does most of the work - remember, you need to reapply LS after every 4-5 soul harvests if something lives long enough)
  • Haunt debuff everything! and spam it when you have nothing else to press
  • Use Pirinado to create density & debuff monsters
  • Use spirit walk as damage mitigation!

There is a rotation to the build that makes it almost invulnerable with enough density, but it takes awhile to get used to. What you want to do is ONLY Soul Harvest WHEN the Spirit walk buff ends, Then grave injustice will instantly reset the cooldown of spirit walk, and you Spirit walk again <3
Rince and Repeat!

Skill variations:

  • Zombie Dogs - Leeching Beasts (for massive healing boost, but huge utility loss)

Legendary Gem variations:

  • Bane of the Powerful - Swap out Esoteric Alteration for max DPS setup (only recommended for super tryhards and speeds)
  • Moratorium - Swap out Esoteric Alteration for slightly different damage mitigation (warning: only for advanced users!)

Kanai's cube variations:

  • Henri's Perquisition - Swap out your Furnace for a HUGE survivability increase.
  • Wormwood - Swap out your Furnace for an instant torment speed build. (also recommend swapping Sacred Harvester to In-Geom)

Hellfire Passive/Alternative setups:

  • Confidence Ritual (swap out Swampland - 20% Multiplicative damage increase)
  • Jungle Fortitude (swap out Swampland - Good early game when you have no pickup radius)
