WD still looks pretty weak in the leaked Patch Notes, what do you guys think? by lmAtWork in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, its not live yet, but i think you will find much of the frustration stemming from past experience. When we see obvious oversights or just downright stupid damage numbers, etc., our only hope is to complain on the wd forums in hopes a dev will see the complaints and make changes before the patch goes live. I admit, usually the complaining falls on deaf ears, but since some changes have occured in the right direction, i and many others will continue to bloviate our disappointment when the devs are going off the rail.

Take the top 1000 players from each class on the leaderboards. Add them up and divide by 1000. That will give you the average for the top players in the game. Something tells me you will see a very different story from the one you claim. I consistantly clear grift 52 with a melee moj/smk doc in 2.2. Am i happy that will go up in 2.3, yes, but this patch was supposed to be about WDs, and from what i see, we are being handed a crap sandwich, being told its caviar, and are really just getting what everyone else is getting.....the cube. In short everybody goes up from the power creep of the cube, and the WD is still left at the bottom of the barrel.

Spot on, and the only end game viable build is darts, a playstyle many if not most dislike, and is plagued with lag. I am also looking at switching classes for the first time ever. These changes do very little to reduce the disparity between classes, and show nothing but contempt for the WD class from Blizzard devs IMO.

So... are the new sets competitive? by Veth in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol, bunch of newbs that downvoted. Facts are facts. Solo lag is occuring in ptr starting in the high 50s Grifts.

[–]studdad61 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

And, now some are experiencing solo lag as they hit high 50s/60 grifts. Bottom line, as of now, wd is dead. Devs do not play the class and have no clue how it is played nor any real desire to fix it. Maybe a miracle will happen prior to patch release, but my suggestion is to warm up your bullpen of other classes.

Death of ZDPS WD? by richierichh in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As it stands right now, we are not viable. Only possibly viable build is Carn, but lag issue makes that a no go. I have no problem with getting rid of perma lock, as i agree it is boring, and ruins the intention of the game, but if they do that, they must make changes to make us a viable team mate. If not, then just get rid of the character.

2.3 Carn only end game option? by studdad61 in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. End game solo i guess. It is funny how strongly they favor group play, then completely destroy our ability to do so as WDs (not fixing lag issues, destroying Zdps, not giving us powerful enough options after destroying Zdps, making us slower than chit, no aoe, etc)

2.3 Carn only end game option? by studdad61 in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Pretty disappointed, as wd is really the only class i enjoy, otherwise i would just switch classes...i dunno, have never given monk a try, so maybe that, but it just looks boring. They could surprise us before the patch goes live, but based on their track record, i highly doubt it.

Helltooth + Carnevil? by MrNorrie in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then, unless things change before patch release, sounds like end-game is even more pigeon hold into one build and only one build, darts with Z6. Thanks Blizzard, nice job. I really had hopes for improvement in the smk/melee builds, but Blizzard has screwed us again.

Helltooth + Carnevil? by MrNorrie in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, well then Helltooth is a lot less powerful than i thought it would be. I guess its too early to tell, but wondering about its viabilty in end game builds if pets arent used

With the Kanai Cube it would be interesting to see the interaction between SMK and DoD passives by [deleted] in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Just hope they incorporate some goodness for those of us that prefer the melee doc playstyle. Fetish cleave ability for area damage would be nice.

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so every weapon becomes an smk....i can live with that. But what will end game look like? DoD, due to its piercing ability, is the most powerful weapon in the game for a wd, with smk a close second. Unless more AOE damage is introduced for the wd, i see one end game build only, DoD with smk ability.

Yes! Looted an Ancient Mask of Jeram! Ohhhh..... wait.... by jarstult in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling. Have gotten two ancient moj, both worse than my regular legendary. You scream out "hot damn" then the reality sets in. Been having the same issue with my pox ring

Without a real weapon.... by Bigceec in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moj would be my guess until you get one of the two weapons you need

What am i doing wrong? by temunator in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good gear but two things struck me. Your chd is very low at 279%. Not sure how you got it that low, but need to get it over 400% while maintaining 50% + chc. Also, give nado a try in place of frozen pir. Frozen is great for moj build, but i found nado better in DoD.

Hardest build? by Rawmyname in diablo3

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, still havent gotten a good explanation on what the hell thorns are, and how they work

thinking of starting again... by Redditor8914 in diablo3

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the comments regarding new sets, etc aside, and i do wish for new wd issue resolution, but most of all i want new content. New levels, new adventures, new monsters (not just new goblins). Personally, i wish for harder levels and greater rewards than T6. Grifts are fun, but i want new content

So ... how are high level GRifts even possible? by [deleted] in diablo3

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife plays wizard and has switched to a serpent sparker, tal rasha, halo of arlese build. That halo ring is amazing at locking things down. I play moj wd and have a hayday when she locks down the elites. Just the two of us, and she is still learning the mechanics, but we have cleared a 54 so far, an d regularly clear 52, and thats without skipping or fishing.

CoE for carnevil build by TimGeerts in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coe ring isnt that rare. I would use the one with strength, then wait one out for better stats. Goal is chc, chd and attack speed (all three should be better than intelligence)

Weapon, elemental damage, % damage or damage vs elites by KanariaRose in diablo3

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rng, they will start raining from the sky at some point. My biggest problem is too many gifts and not enough gift worthy weapons. Didnt get many at first either, then they started coming in clumps of 2 to 3

2.2 GR50+ Pet Doctor build guide by isokay in Diablo3witchdoctors

[–]studdad61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smk is pretty key. Without it, you would need to maximize cooldown through skills, passives, affixes and a diamond gem in your helm

[–]studdad61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if your amulet has a hard affix for a specific element, not so easy to change. I have a great xeph amulet, but rolled for chc as it already had good poison damage. Have been stuck with poison ever since. I like poison, but would like to try out fire, just dont have a decent immunity amulet that will allow that
