They should use at least different colour on DH and WD, one can be Cyan and the other blue...
Yellow or Brown can be used for WD aside from Cyan... - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

This is more of a glass-cannon type of a build. You can kite, while you are low hp (bats, haunt, dart), or do huge AoE (bats, toads, spiders, grasp), but you shouldn't let anyone get near you. So I would say you should use this only if you have a tank.

Leaving your weapon with:
135.71 to 589.18 Damage
Average: 362,445
2.21 Attacks Per Second
--------------
801.00345 Damage per second
Now. I applied the average damage to some runed skills. The following is the list of 6 highest DPS skills:
Plague of Toads (crimson) - 1730/toad (5191 total)
Haunt (any) - 145/s (2175 total)
Firebats (crimson) - 1649/s
Poison Dart (crimson) - 1605
Wall of Zombies (alabaster) - 1414
Acid Cloud (crimson) - 1414
Compared with the amount of mana needed, the next list of skills contains the most economic:
Grasp of the Dead (crimson) - 78,78/mana
Corpse Spider (indigo) - 40,77/mana (if a baby spider bites 1x each sec)
Plague of Toads (crimson) - 24,60/mana
Haunt (any) - 20,52/mana
Poison Dart (crimson) - 9,12/mana
Zombie Charger (alabaster) - 4,98/mana
This led me to making this build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#ZcVaWY!Zdc!ZbZZYZ

We might be looking at something like this:
3 lv7 > lv8
3 lv8 > lv9
2 lv9 + gemdust > lv10
2 lv10 + 2gemdust > lv11
2 lv11 + 3gemdust > lv12
1 lv12 + 4gemdust > lv13
1 lv13 + 5gemdust > lv14

I wasn't looking through the forums, but I'm fairly sure that some of these have already been posted... sorry if that is the case.

+ Skill
+ Type of Skill (Mastery)
+ School of Skill (Skill Tree)
+ Spell Damage
+ Cast Rate
+ Spell Crit Rate
+ Spell Crit Damage
+ Resource Regen
+ Max Resource
are what I would expect a caster to use, as opposed to high DPS of just high max damage.

I'm aware that the changes are not final, and that there are more items to be added, but for now, looking at what was presented to us, I feel that there should be more follower's items. More items of the same level with different (perhaps random) effects. Not much was given to wok with, so maybe it works just like what I described.
Socketing rings and amulets? That's one of the things that I missed in D2. Rings and amulets are basically jewelry and adding more jewels into them was logical... I hope we'll have this in the final release.
Scrolls are all good in my opinion. Scroll of Companion is weird, and I don't know if I'll use them. They could be useful, though... Scroll of Reforging is a nice addition. I'm not sure if they could be used on Rare, Legendary or Set item, but I hope they can.
I like the jewel designs, although it's not news, I just don't like the socketing bonuses. They have different a bonus only on helms, and not very good ones either. Using an extremely rare jewel for a +xp bonus on a Level 60 character is just not something that I would do. Neither would I waste such on +gold, or +magic find. If I have perfect gear, I don't want magic find on them... OK, I'm aware of AH sales, but I don't want to grind gear just so I can sell it, I want to find it so I can keep it. I hope they change it on the final release.
Unattuned Runes are good too. I can see their AH price being low, and me just mass buying them! Looking through the skill calculator, there are some skills that I would use in builds, in which I don't have a higher preference for any of the 5 Runes, as all of their effects are good for the job. Also, I guess they will be the only Tier 7 Runes that will be available to Gold AH.
Now for the biggest change to the game... the +%weapon damage change.
In D2, I loved the caster type characters, as they didn't depend so much on their weapon to deliver damage. If I died and had to get my corpse, I didn't have much problems as all of my skills stayed useful even without the gear. Now, that casters depend on their weapon... I don't know... Maybe WD can benefit from this, but I don't want to see Wizards going all Barbarian, or holding Two-Handed Maces and Swords (except for in specifically made builds for that).

It was my first choice, but I think that the Pack stacks, and if so, It would come more handy in inferno and hell
