I've seen around people asking if the pet build WD is viable for T6. I made a video and included my Bnet profile so you can see the sort of gear I am running. I dont have the Zuni set but I do have the AtkSpd Gloves and PetDmg Head.
In my own opinion I believe the spec is super viable for T6 and the clear speed is ok considering I am ridiculously over compensating my toughness for the run and I also use a unity over my near perfect SoJ for solo play because... hell why not if you can ay ? The boss I got at the end was a bastard, hes the hardest one in my own opinion, didn't help that my TF pulled a rare too

Let me all know what you think and if you have any question or queries I'd be happy to answer them. The gear I'm running with isnt set in stone, I have lots of gear I can swap in to increase DPS like my SoJ or a 2 Cains instead of 2 Crimson i'm just addicted to being tough
So there has been some controversy and ive been told apparently using unity is a hack or a glitch ? New vid without it uploading to show its not needed for the WD Pet Spec.
I run T6 without the Unity anyway, and to be honest other then a few specific combo of affix's (Waller, Vortex, Arcane Enchanted and Frozen Pulse I'm looking at you!) I don't really struggle. It's just about playing smart.
I actually find the higher difficulties easier because SMK seems to scale LOADS better on higher Torments.
I'm also running with a pet build, but it's different from yours. How you you like Acid Cloud? I'm using Pyrogeist + Vampiric Bats atm. Also, I don't have SMK or Zuni, so using Spiritwalk, Wrathful Protector Gargantuan, Dogs and Soul Harvest.
How do you like Humongoid compared to WP rune? Is it because you have Fetish army and stack +phys dmg you use Humongoid?
Do you want / are you looking for zuni 4 set? Seems like aughild + blackthorne should be quite nice together with all the elite dmg + some reduction.

Hey Blackfyrez,
I was running normal bounties as I ran out of Rift Keystones last night!I usually run with Vampire Bats and Wrathful Protector when playing properly. I only switched to Acid Cloud and Humongoid to clear normal bounties.
I am looking for the Zuni Chest / Feet / Offhand at the mo, haven't had any luck with them at all. I plan to run with Zuni Chest / Feet / Mojo, Aug shoulders / Bracers, Blackthornes Legs / Belt, MoJ and T&T. This means I get to keep my +Elite damage and the damage reduction too.

Do you prefer to use +phys % dmg since you're running with Army?

Do you prefer to use +phys % dmg since you're running with Army?
Yeah, I do. I've gone with +Phys, but collecting +Fire atm since finding a decent Fire SoJ to give it ago.
I don't think I plan on getting the zuni set. I either have to lose my SoJ or my 30% reduc dmg Mojo and both are better than the zuni set imo. I run fire and use the wrathful protector and just hope it doesn't derp out.... but this can be said for the spec as a whole tbh
I was also told and have read about. If you use Fetish Army whilst you have Fetish Sycophants around it kills all the Sycophants ? Also going this route allows me to have Midnight Feast which allows an extra zombie dog for more absorbing and Life on Hitting
Ok a break down of my current gear and where I want to go with it:
Head: Mask of Jeram (I believe this is a key part of the set, it increases pet dmg by 100% at max roll this includes Fetish Sycophants)
Gloves: Tasker and Theo (Again another piece that is key for the set imo, roll a max of 50% Pet AttackSpeed as a Secondary)
Shoulders & Wrists: Aughild's set pieces (Get these with the best rolls possible as they are crafted, shoulders can go for max def with armor and all res or you can go gargantuan dmg if you please. Ofcourse wrists you want the 6% crit and 20% ele of your choice, I use fire with my build. The 2+3 set are game changing... you want this)
Legs & Boots: Crimson/Cains set pieces (You can go for either set here, I love tougness so I went for the Crimson set. Do NOT roll Movement% on boots, you can either get armor/allres + %firebats dmg. Get all of your movement speed from Paragon points)
Rings: RRoG + SoJ(Pretty standard set of rings across all classes tbh, SoJ a little harder to acquire but just get these with the best rolls you can and ofc SoJ with your chosen ele%)
Weapons: ThunderFury + Ukhapian Serpent (The TF is really a filler Item, just get super strong weapon for me at this moment in time its a TF but I would like a really good rolled Mad KingsScepter. The Ukhapien Serpent is a must for higher torments with your zombie dogs as it gives you a flat 25-30% dmg reduction. Try to roll Firebats% and 10%CC on this)
Belt: The Witching Hour/String of Ears (Pretty simple here, get high rolls. One for Max DPS the other for Defense. Some people prefer Harrington Waistguard but that requires environment interaction)
Chest:I have my wizards chest on atm just because its soridiculouslygood but I plan to get a very good rolled Cindercoat.
Neck: Again here I have my wizards neck on it has nice CC/CDMG and unlocks the 2+3 sets for the %firedmg and allres. I would Ideally like to have a Lerorics neck here with %firedmg roles.
Alot of my gear can just be rolled better and it would makes runs so much smoother like the head for 100% instead of 85% and a trifecta RRoG. So I don't plan and going very far in terms of radical changes just general grindage for better rolls.
Most of my gear though can be gambled at Kadala and obviously the set pieces can be crafted.
Yea I tried them but the life% isn't that valuable for real toughness, its just excess fat that gets whipped off instantly. I prefer the 2000LPS along with the 10% CDR and the rest ofc.
What are peoples opinions on the Zuni set over the Ukhapien serpent and the SoJ ? Obviously cant use the head because of the 100% potential lost pet dmg. Is the constant army worth more than empowered Garg+Sycopants anyway ?
I want the Zuni set solely for the fact of having it. For Running higher Torments, I'm going to stick with SoJ and Serpent, they're just too awesome to pass up.
I've seen around people asking if the pet build WD is viable for T6. I made a video and included my Bnet profile so you can see the sort of gear I am running. I dont have the Zuni set but I do have the AtkSpd Gloves and PetDmg Head.

@ Rebslack, what do you mean by SMK?
SMK = Starmetal Kukri.

Have you tried using Asheara's Boots/Pants? It gives 20% life and 100 resistance vs 2000 regen and 50 resistance
Im leaning towards not.
Come have a look at the play
