QUOTE(hvaly @ Jun 18 2014, 01:11 PM) yea.. got my 5th jade set .. You should try playing the Jade spec first will try to use jade set when i am bored with my doggy but i think i will still focus on pet build, due to many comparison done by expert 1. Dps (single or multi) 2. gearing 3. survivability 4. Move around 5. Efficiency 6. Resource 7. Cool down 8. etc etc 1. single target = pets, aoe = jade (even, since each is better at one) 2. 3 pieces = pets, 7 = jade (advantage pets) 3. more meat shields = more survivability (advantage pets) 4. pet docs can use hexing, jade docs cannot (advantage pets) 5. solo pets > jade, and both viable in groups (advantage pets) 6. neither build has resource problems (even) 7. jade is way more reliant on resetting cooldowns than pets, which makes them more gear dependent as well (advantage [due to not needing the affix] pets) 8. on paper it looks like pets are better... but really it's just personal preference (as has been said) since both are very viable solo and in groups and last one to add on by me 9. lazy/less click build - advantage pet, ur main char just move around and avoid hit, get loot, no need so attentive and tired to think when to cast soul harvest XD But if the pet doc has SMK, I think jade will slightly under perform, depending on team composition. 100% BBV is too strong This post has been edited by stevie: Jun 18 2014, 04:42 PM |

I've played both pets and jade, and i am still enjoying both builds. Coming from barb, WD has been a breath of fresh air for me. The diversity in play style is immense - pet doc plays like a summoner, where as jade plays like a nuker. And then you have the likes of carnevil, buff station, and controller builds.
I don't necessarily think one is better than the other. Both builds have its merits and weaknesses. I personally feel the contrasting nature of both builds is what makes the WD class rich in depth and fun. Why choose one over the other ? My barb would kill for such luxury. I switch builds depending on my mood and if and when the group requires me to change my build. Nothing worse than running with 2 pet docs resulting to a massive pet traffic and your big hot dog staying idle at your side. |

QUOTE(Sabenarian @ Jun 16 2014, 05:00 PM) my suggested Zombie Bear skill build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witc...fTYc!ZYccbZ Tried the build, it's a lot of fun! Some practice to line everything up with the nado and then unleash the bears, but it's all good. Now just need to upgrade my gear to a decent level need practice a bit, might difficult a the beginning but later u can spam bear non stop Are any of the crafted legendary items worth trying out? |

QUOTE(Sabenarian @ Jun 19 2014, 10:56 AM) Err a bit premature to share it, only played an hour or so since hitting lvl 70.. so my gear is pretty horrendous still even with the "work in progress" label Ah ok can try and craft the bracers and shoulders! |

QUOTE(nmah @ Jun 19 2014, 04:37 PM) Hi, Honestly with your low lvl Doc, u found that MoJ yourself or gift from fren? gratz btw Please advice on my WD. Anything that need improve? http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/furious...80/hero/3799490 Gear: 1) I assume you already have Aughild plan. Craft Bracer, Shoulders and chest. if u still dont get plan, use any chest with Int, vit, 3 socket and armor.. later stage u might want skill bonus on these piece. bracer need elemental (fire/ physical/poison) Int, Vit and 5-6cc 2) Reroll your MoJ.. I suggest reroll AR to CC (might be pain to get it 3) Reroll amulet.. AR to CHD. Rerolling legendary ammy a bit painful and costly.. alternatively use rare ammy with Int, CHC, CHD and (vit/ias/elemental/average dmg) 4)reroll AR to vit on Mojo..again if costly, use rare mojo 5) get a rare ring with Int, CHC CHD (avg damge/ias/vit). rerolling your current leg rings not worth it and costly. 6) belt you can reroll skill bonus to +% life if u want skill build u can try this: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witc...WVgR!Ycbbba note: 1) with TF you might better using Rain of toad 2) Gargantuan sometime stupid, standing still doing nothing. So u might change it to something else like Mass Confusiion-Paronia 3) Fierce Loyalty passive for mobility.. u can change to other passive like Grave Injustice or Spirit Vessel 4) with homuculus Mojo, you can drop ZD from skill slot.. but dog from this mojo is un-rune.

Okay, played another hour over the weekend, can show my weaksauce gear now
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/minori-1796/hero/48735139 Thunderfury dropped. STR Thunderfury (where.is.the.smartloot.lol). It's on my barb MH now since I reckon it would be a bit "wasted" on my WD (since WD has class specific weapons that it would prefer, iirc). TF = best for barb or crusader? Thinking of reforging the elemental damage to bonus dmg vs elites or a flat damage % increase. Any advice? This post has been edited by sunblaze: Jun 23 2014, 12:25 PM |
