I'm curious why US there they play "bad medicine+ poison" type ar??

Good control mobs n not easy die?

acid rain is just so imba omg.

Bad medicine reduce damage your entire party receives.

The less that your wizards, barbs and demon hunters need to worry about getting killed, the more damage your entire team does.

dogs die too easily... nightmare act3 boss now but gave up after dying 5 times... i wonder how i'm going to survive hell...

Nightmare just about to enter Act II. Having lots of fun with WD, when meeting mobs, Acid Rain, Hex+Angry Chicken, Soul Harvest+Siphon, Swarm. Passive skills, Jungle Fortitute, Gruesome Feast, Bad Medicine.

Result: Kamikaze mode + Health Regen + Int AWESOME!

Currently at lv47 nightmare act3
Still using dogs + gargantuan to play
somehow i'm using stun+chill+immobilize all stack up around 5%+ chances
acid rain dmg/sec, firebomb flash, dogs bite, gargantuan all attack together surprisingly give me a good impact of effect, almost permanently stun elite/champion, while others die easily under my acid rain with soul harvest.

my hp is just 5k, 1.6k dps, sacrifice my vit to put gold find, but survive quite well, my dogs as well, can sustain until my next cooldown. The moment i die is because of lag especially vortex who create lags very much

so i guess the key is use more disable effects in order to use dogs to fight

personally i think WD is the hardest but funniest class to play
unlike others run and shoot, clash and smash

lot different ways to play WD, really enjoying it although it took some hard times (die many times before realize how to play goof)

i notice WD is very versatile. Having fun playing different style

1) Can be play as pure damage, pump all intelligent and damage but your Hp and def kinda low.
Fun to see yellow crit damage all the time but have to be aware of your hp.

2) Can play as tanker. if you notice, Witch Doc got a lot healing Hp and Mana skill.
Instead of holding voodoo doll, carry a shield with got good block ability. Choose armor that give more def instead of int.
I did test 1 on 1 with boss. Can tank but if enemy has much more DPS attack then its a bit harder.

ya, that time i still low lvl

3) Can play as supportive. Just use all supportive skills.

can show me ur detail about ur equipment?o stat?i found out gargantuan too easy to die in nightmare ,n u said dog hard to die?that make me feel weird how u 'play' with ur dog.... any guide playing summoner?

Basically this is the build:
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witc...;Zdb!aZ.ZZZ
Sometime i do change locust swarm into big bad vodoo to increase atk speed when face with strong single target (champion)

Working now, can't show you fully, this is my current stats, it is still very low compare others, i put a lot of gold find equipment (124%) and sacrify better vit/int equipment.
Stats:
Str 243
Dex 122
Int 690
Vit 295
HP 6714
Mana 732
Damage 1641
Armor 1500

2.2% chill
2.2% stun
1.2% immobilize
since the sum 5.6% of these effects already so great (just realize), will further explore in next equipment purchasing to further increase the sum effect especially focus on stun/freeze on hit, will can surely able extend our dogs a little

I think WD is the best most hits/sec class, where you can utilize chance on hit eq the max, i will explore it little more and see if works in hell/inferno.

Currently my build is quite safe and fun, when face with elites the flash bomb jump btw them and stun a lot, while facing champion i just run and wait pet stun it than only i attack. Oh ya, the lob lob acid rain also does contribute hits/sec.

Tactics:
Clear Mobs = Acid Rain + Flash bomb
Single Target = Locust Swarm/Whatever (maybe can replace locust swarm with fetish army)
Escape = I put soul harvest to gain life + potion, still can save my ass.
Boss Fight = The build doesn't work well on act boss, need to change some skills.

if you would like see the effect, just add me Shincy#6342

just start to play my 2nd character after barbarian

i saw witch doctor really fun to play, how many pets i can summon to fight for me (permanently)? i know there are dogs and a giant..

not those big spider, frog, voodoo (chicken) which will dissapear..

My tactics
Boss fight : spirit walk+gargutuan+poison dart+zombie wall
Others : zombie dog+poison dart+gargutuan+zombie wall

Mine:\
Boss: Poison, Wall/Hex(If rare creature), firebat, soul harvest(if hp low),
nth else spam firebomb

other run devil run

any inferno WD willing to shed some points? the pets are a laughable joke.

Inferno Doctor checking in

Battletag - (removed)

Pets r useless in Hell mode, dont talk bout Inferno lol ~ haha

Hell is a money-loser.

One elite frog pack with bad skill combo (vortex + jail + desecrate ) took me 3 deaths to clear

andy, pls remove your id or you'll get hack.

Ok thanks for the advice

your damage is quite low compare to my witch doctor

mine almost double yours

Look at his defensive stats

my vit/hp is lower but other than that is the same or slightly better

in inferno all the monster minimum of 100k hp which is kinda amusing

and the champions/elites is sooo damn hard without a proper tanker
