Build Guide
The YouTube video shows one of the first runs we did. You can see the potential is HUGE!! I have been failing the rotations a lot! Have fun watching, let's beat some witch doctor. Finally no more lags!!
Introduction:
First of all: This build is NOT the most beginner friendly build out there!
It takes some time and practice to get used to and to get the right rotation to deal proper damage.
This has the potential to beat the Witch Doctor as trash killer in the current 4 man dps meta.
Especially because this build rarely lags, even on big pulls. After years of wd meta it is time for something new.
Rotation
Enter a pull and ignite an Elite pack or 20+ Trash Monsters to get your full Firebird 6 Piece using:
a) Magic Weapon Arcane Torrent c) Electrocute
1. Make sure to have: a) Full Arcane Power Wave of Force with as many stacks as you can get c) 5 stacks of Arcane Dynamo
2. Cast your Star Impact once (it will spent all your Arcane Power into a powerful Meteor)
3. Channel your Electrocute for around 1 second to get some Arcane Power back
4. Channel your Arcane Torrent in the same moment while your Meteor hits getting Deathwish and Etched Sigil buffs
5. Cast another Wave of Force
6. Channel Electrocute again until you have 1. back (Full Arcane Power & 5 stacks of Arcane Dynamo)
Attack Speed
In order to maximise dps, getting arcane power back faster is important.
A decent breakpoint on the Electrocute is the 10 FPA one @ 1.8182 aps.
To archive that one you need attackspeed on three pieces.
1.4*1.07*(1+(10+7+7)/100)= 1.85752
I am using it on Weapon, Gloves & Bracers
Here is the breakpoint table:
FPA___APS
12___1.5385
11___1.66667
10___1.8182
9____2.001

Question.
It was suggested to go for 7% ias on weapon, 10% on paragon, and 7% ias on both gloves and bracers.
I have a primal deathwish with int/vit/ad.
Would it be worth it to get 7% ias on weapon over 24% ad to attain the 1.81 as breakpoint? I have around 169% ad out of the maximum 174% ad with the 24% ad on the weapon.
So the comparison is between 10 frame with 145% ad, or 11 frames with 169% ad. Which is better?
As it is, I find my rotation to be about 70% reliable (about 30% of the time I couldnt channel before meteor lands) due to lag and human error.
Will getting more ias rectify this problem?
I have the same issue with 1.83 aps but i tryed it on console in GR110 it dont work because between launching meteor & try to get lil bit resource to channel there is a mini lag. Gonne try it with more APS or go back to my full augmented twister mage XD
Thanks for your reply Rob. I stick with 1.54 aspd and seem to work fine in density after more practice.
