It's normal to die in Inferno, the difficulty level jumps up a lot. Forces you to rethink your strategy. Basically (per the developer's suggestion) on entering each new act, focus on survival first, while slowly upgrade gear. Then only improve offense. And try tackling the elites after clearing the white mobs around em first. You'll soon remember how many elites are in each maps, and how easy it is to tackle each type (monster & affixes).
That said, you need to improve your AR. My spec that managed to get through Act I using darts/bear kiting build is around this, DPS 20k, Armor around 4k, Enchantress power armor helps a lot, so is her chicken hex CC. AR 400+ HP 25k
And I'm using Hex, Horrify (100% armor buff or 20% move speed) replacing your mass confusion and BBV. Passive is the same as yours, except I swapped between PtV, Bad medicine or one of the mana regen skills I think.

But kite and tank build don't need the same spec, so depends on which style you wanna go, might be better to focus on the right gear early on and save the amount of gold you need to spent. Check out Laboo's tank build gear and specs in earlier posts.
thanks for the advice...
my play style more to tank coz i am sux on kitting...
normally i will try to SW into them and SH, then back off and cast BBV, then spam zombie bears, then poison dart...
BBV increase my DPS, but still they saw food and chase me...
i tried to build like Laboo but when i AH, price like berpuluh millions...
so now i just buy +AR with +INT and +VIT items... using 800++ DPS spear now... with +1020 shield...
maybe i should go for voodoo mask and mojo and knife??? for mana regen i think...
Well you need to choose your own style of play. This is how I used to kite in Act I against elites with splinter darts/bear no VQ build.
Splinter darts as main attack. Find a place to circle around (some bushes, etc). Fire darts at elite until they get close enough, launch bears (1 to 3 bursts), then run away circling around the bush. Once have enough gap, turn around and fire more darts. And repeat.
Hex because can drop it while running, and it'll most likely turn the closest into chicken so one less elites to worry about for 1+ sec, plus the guy follows you around unlike BBV. And it last 12 out of 15 seconds cool down. Very good defensive skill if you kite. Useless against bosses though.
Horrify same tactic, use it to get some distance or just plain increase armor/move speed. Also good in getting out of mobbed situation. 8 seconds out of 20 seconds is pretty good. With SV, cool down reduced to 18 seconds.
Spirit Walk I try to save this for when my HP runs dangerously low, and I got feared/frozen/jailed or I just get vortex-ed into many lasers/molten/etc... Doesn't go through walls though I use healing rune to help recover HP, so also works as 3rd minor potion button but only if I'm in relatively save situation.
Soul Harvest I use it more to recover HP, rather than to increase DPS. so it's my a 2nd minor potion button.
So total I have 3 potions button and 1 second life (SV)
hello fellow doctors... I provide crafting Perfect Amethyst service.. Just additional 30% service fees.. Very Cheap~ Pm me or add me in game if interested.. Just provide me with all the materials + additional 15% service fees and u will get ur GEM~ thank you.
I decided to do my own experiment regarding whether wearing stun on hit glove and stun on hit weapon will increase stun chance.
And the answer is yes.
I use siegebreaker in Hell as my guinea pig boss and use all AOE pet rune and AOE skill (fire pit) plus stun on hit glove(4.3%), stun on hit Weapon(4.3%) and freeze on hit belt(4.5%).
2 out of 5 time siegebreaker can't even walk out of it original starting place, it just keep getting stun or freeze seldom able to make an attack.
If I switch out the stun on hit glove to a normal glove, 5 out of 5 time siegebreaker is able to move out of it original starting place and able to perform some attack.
Fellow WD might want to try this CC pet build if they have problem getting pass some bosses.
any tanking WD want a 710 DPS 1 hand cerimonial knife with 858 LoH and 2.8% Life leach, 11 mana regen?
Is it worth something or I am better just selliin g it cheap cheap in AH. Closest I see is about 15 M buyout in AH. I need some golds ler to upgrade my DH...

No other stats? You can try auctioning in AH, I think price around 1M+ if you're patient, don't think can sell above 3M. I'm looking for one, but with higher mana regen and slightly higher DPS.

Thanks. Yeah ...when I saw...shit no int/vit...or socket!!!!!!!
I'll put it on Ah for 1M with 3 M buyout then. Yeah the DPS on low side....but the life steal is nice. Probably can get like 1.2k Life back for each hit
now only able to farm Act 1, sometime over confident also die... LOL
I wonder if any WD uses mojo as off hand kar..as I can see most using shields...
The reason I am asking is I found a nice mojo yesterday ..stats like 108-286 damage, Intel 69, MF 18%, Max mana 111, Chance of Blind ..2.5%, Increase poison dart damage 8% and socket. Fuuyoh..so happy for once managed to get all relevant allfixes. Check GAH.....knn....most mojos selling for like 200k-500k also no one buy...
Sadz..

I tried to bid (max 750k but lost) for a couple of Mojo last 2 days, the damage is like 100+ to 300+, with max mana and some other useful stats but not too much. I use a shield in Act 2 though, easier to increase armor, though mana regen and DPS suffer.
anyone here saw Mawts' Witch Proctor build in D3 forum? seems doing pretty well on A3/4, but sadly his thread got deleted for unknown reason, share if u know how to build it, thanks !

erm......
im using mawts build right now............... still die sometimes in act3........... but act2 and act1 is like................"is this inferno?"
share some of the stats here.....
mawts main stat is something like this. str = any will do dex = any will do Int = more than 1k vit = more than 1k prefer (minimum 800 or 40k hp equivalent)
armor = 3.5k above. Damage = 20k
my stat is some what different with mawts but still get the more or less same result due to the $$ limitation that look for gears. Int = 804 Vit = 1154 (HP 50k with 25% life bonus from gears)
Mawts need higher physical resistant around 7xx and AR around 6xx. where my stat is around AR 605.
Mawts highlighted the procs from all the gears gathered as follow Voodoo Mask with mana regen and fear. Shoulder with chill glove with stun bracer with knockback belt with freeze pants with slow boots with immobilize ( is better with 12% movement speed) Mojo with mana regen and dps weapon around 780 and above (with mana regen as well)
please take note to critical hit chance and damage, they make yr build even imba if u manage to get this stat up! im in 23% hit chance and 120% crit damage and my dps only 12k..... still can play quite fun in act3.
what mawts noted is, LOH. weapon must have slot and place a Amethyst with LOH. minimum required is around 600 and above.
Left click using acid cloud-acid rain , right click using bear langgar~~~~ (but im using grasp of the dead) slot 1 = spirit walk - Jaunt slot 2 = soul harvest - vengeful spitrit slot 3 = horrify - frigthening aspect slot 4 = mass confusion - paranoia
Playstyle? easy , spam slot 1 - 4 make sure is always on recharge time so yr vision quest is running yr mana regen all the time. spam left click for multihit of LOH. u will be super suprise like me on how wonderful this build will be............. u need some time to use to the spam button play thou, but for me is worth it.........
add me maxswei#6193 to see how my build works in act1 act2. just tell me u r from lyn, then i will be happy to show u. Note: my build still vulnarable to some multiple arcane and some nasty stupid invulnarable elite............but compare to other WD build. i think the power to stay on the game is superior than the others. ( and like mawts said, im not here to proof anything, just to share)
Warning - once u get in this build............theres no turning back~~~~~
