New Sets Montage
A few days ago Monstrous tweeted a screenshot montage with the possible new class sets coming in the future. He recently updated the screenshot and you can see it below - click it for a bigger version. Also bear in mind this is pure speculation based on images that were datamined and have not been used. Do you think those could be the new sets?
Comprehensive WD 2.2 Rundown
DeboSC2 has put together a huge thread (on our forums and reddit) with thoughts on the WD "metagame" for Patch 2.2. He discusses all the new items and how they might affect common end-game choices, as well as skill changes. His write-up even got retweeted by Wyatt Cheng! We got his video commentary and a small preview below, but you should definitely check the full guide. Great stuff - check it out!
Hey guys I'm Debo, I Main the Witch Doctor class, ever since the beta for Diablo 3 Vanilla. Encouraging players to try out the Witch Doctor class, and enjoy Diablo 3 is my major focus. I started to do this by compiling my thoughts in guides, and streaming to provide information to those who seek it.

Final Coverage for Witch Doctors PTR Patch 2.2 (Season 3)
First look at P.T.R Patch 2.2
Here is the Early coverage of Patch 2.2 on PTR, to see how development started Early Witch Doctor Coverage

New Items that effect/work with Witch Doctors
This is a list of the items that had the biggest impact on Witch Doctors for the upcoming patch (2.2). These items, may or may not have started off the way they are listed now, but it is safe to say these are in their finalized forms. If anything Changes I will go back and amend them

Added to allow for the 6 Piece set Bonus
Takes away from the Possibility of running Tasker & Theo with Unity for Greater Rift play
Understandable why Blizzard wouldn't want Tasker & Theo to combo in with Unity. Pet build WD's with their improved damage, toughness, and skill improvement we would end up terrorizing the solo leader boards. I know a lot of people may not agree with this statement, but Zuni/SMK build can easily hit GR 46-48, while having a "Fishing potential" of Greater Rift 50-54 next season.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Was Added after Player feedback to the Developers
Enabled use of Unity ring with 6 Piece Zuni Sets.
These pants were included, after initial feedback with the Zuni set. Without having an additional piece to work with, it automatically made it so that a Player had to use Zunimassa Pox, and Ring of Royal Grandeur to get any viability out of the build. It was a solid choice to add an additional Zuni piece to the pants slot, being it is the most flexible area to work with.

D3 and RoS Sale
For those waiting for an opportunity to buy Diablo 3 or Reaper of Souls, Blizzard is selling both with a 50% discount this week, on their BNet store. Great opportunity to grab your copy before Patch 2.2. Check it out!
Very interesting. I hope when the new WD set comes, helltooth is tweaked already as well
Also, with the 2.2 changes, it seems to me that WD has the most diverse builds especially for solo play. am I wrong?
I really hope they add the Crusader set soon... I'm running Condemn at the moment and it's good, but not viable at super high Grifts. Roland's Shield Bash spec looks a bit more viable, but still lagging behind pretty much every other class...
I think we need a few, super strong set that buffs us up to the level of the other classes at Grifting.
The wizard leggings are probably correct - as I've posted and screencapped above, I've dropped the Sunwuko leggings.
It's cool seeing people try to solve the puzzle and try to figure out which images would belong to what.
Just bear in mind it may be an exercise in futility since it's also possible the new sets don't use any of those assets =D
I would love to see :
Indeed... and the sword right next to it screams Shard of Hate to me... maybe an old art/image.
Very unlikely. Part of the creation of the SoH was that the community was involved in the art, too, from the very first sketch all the way through modeling and textures. Never saw this artwork before.
Also there's really no way around it. I require that kitty.
Okay so...I am calling this right now...Take a look at the sword on the bottom row next to the dagger. I Don't know if its been ID'd or now but....Don't that look like the grip from broken frostmourne >_> If you take a look at the styles of thunderfury and ashbringer they added. There's cleary a chance that it is frostmourne.
Wizards and all heroes of Sanctuary,
Express your support for reverting the Delsere's female wiz armor here! Thanks!

Unrelated to that, I can tell you the two far right armors on the second from bottom row are the transmogs for Sunwuko's on a wizard.
Just noticed the WD(?) set has the Raynor's Raiders snake skeleton on the shoulders. SIIICK.
<EDIT> – Oh! And the helmet looks strikingly like a Terran marine's! This makes me happy. ^^
That does in fact look like the base of the Frostmourne!
It has a skull with horns, but it looks nothing like Frostmourne.
Also, I don't know why people keep saying that's a sword when it's clearly the head of a staff. It has floating crystals at the top of it, not a blade.
that third last weapon looks like a warglaive from Warcraft. maybe another weapon that will turn up in d3 universe.
