I tried 1H weapon + mojo for bear build.

I had to revamp & change my gears for 3 reasons.

1) Bears don't like fast attack. Mana drains fast. 2H-Skorn + a 9% Witching hour is just nice for my build (1.09 attack speed)
2) 3% LS is not enough, especially when we encounter RD elites. To have more LS%, Skorn could be the only option.
3) Yes, low min damage on 1H weapon gives you lower damage, generally.

Yes, you'll feel a bit slow in the beginning.
It is okay once you are surrounded by bears.
For pure bears build, your bears will keep ramping into the target until it is killed.

The video that you saw was recorded with my old gears (with 1.0 attack speed).

For normal 1H + mojo, you can't persistently spam your bears due to mana issues.
So, the real damage may not be the same as you see on the screen.

You can test it yourself. You can use Ghom @ MP10 as a benchmark to find out your real damage per second.

Something we did in this thread.

As you don't really need IAS for skorn/bear build.

If i were you, i'd replace the inna pants with a rare with high VIT.
And also replace the Zuni's Marrow with high INT & VIT.

the pets are important.
Just in case you pvp with another WD, he turns your pets into pig and you turn him into pig .

Yes, WD is powerful in PvP.
I reckon you need a build with high IAS in PvP.

WD thread has been quiet.

Why you no spam your bears with your skorn? I dream about your skorn day and night.
It is no good to leave that godly gear idle.
Let me know if you wanna sell it.

Hahaha... no wonder haven't seen you spamming the bears.

Yeah, your skorn is godly.
It is a good deal indeed. Make 350M + a Manajuma knife.

Nice, we can have C4 dog build party.

It is normal to have low paper dps.
The real damage output is huge.

Few points,
1) You need to stack up health globes. At least 20K. Same old rule, the more the merrier. '
For your case, you may be able to work on lower health globes as you have LS on your weapon.

2) You need pickup radius. At least 7 yard (i tried 6 yard, not really good).

3) EHP is important as C4 dog is more of short range attack. Get as many VIT as possible. Your 430K EHP (d3up) is good enough for MP10.

4) You can have bears on your left/right click so that you can spam bears if necessary. As you have LS weapon + your fast attack speed, since you have un-utilized mana, bears could be your life saver during oh-sh*t moment.

By the way, add a radiant ruby/marquise ruby on your weapon would give you 8K/12K of dps boost.

My build, http://d3up.com/b/351298


P/S On a second thought, you can stick to your current build instead of using bears.
This is because 5-stack soul harvest + gruesome feast give you 200K DPS.

Skywavex
May I know your skill setup (both passive and active) for pvp?

Anyone tried uber today?
Crumbling stone of Kulle still hit 1/4 of my HP even if I'm in invisible mode (spirit walk/jaunt).
I was hit 4-5 times in the game (and each time I was in invisible mode).

Anyone encountered the same?

WD thread has been quiet without HenryLow and ahhoe80

Good news for WD is, we are no longer the weakest among all heroes.
Our burst damage can be as good as monks and demon hunters (still not as close as Barb though).

Yes. You can take it with a pinch of salt.

Change your belt to TWH.
It's going to shine when when the DPS is more than 150K DPS.

Change your pants to rare, with high INT & VIT + 2 sockets.

You can also try some other skills.
You can replace gargantuan with big bad voodoo/slam dance The reason is you don't need gargantuan to do damage.
Or you can try horrify/frightening aspect for armor boost.
Either an all-out offensive or defensive skill.
Both skills are good during elite fight (with arcane under your feet).

Passive skill, you can replace grave injustice with vision quest.
Both are good. Just choose one that works for you.

Depth digger pants are good. Good option.

12% MS is ok. You may need some time to get used to it (since you are used to fast MS on other heroes).
You can have more MS if you want.
If you need more MS, I'd suggest get MS from bracer i/o pants.
This is because you lose too many EHP if you use Inna's pants.
(Mana is still manageable with 1.18 attack speed. You just need to be careful with your left click/bears spamming).

I believe your current build is good enough up to MP8 solo.
Try Horrify/frightening aspect. Use horrify when your spirit walk is cooling down. Use spirit walk when horrify is cooling down. It will give you better survivability during elite/boss fight.
Try some key runs @ A1/A2/A3.

Hahaha... it is your left-click/bears spamming.
You need to release left click every 3-4 seconds and throw your corpse spiders intermittently.

Another option you can look into is, get an SoJ with -mana Zombie Charger.
Look for a 28-29% elite damage SoJ with -10 mana zombie charger.

Yes, the more the merrier.
The faster your attack, the more damage + more life you can recover.

Just some heads up on zdog build.

In terms of burst damage, zdog is better than zbears.
Based on my experience, zdog is not as effective because of the limitation in pushing up DPS.
You will hit a ceiling. It is very very very very very very difficult to push up the DPS for zdog build.

Few reasons, there are at least 3 gears are bound to zdog build (in order to have ZERO second cool down zdog).
It means less flexibility in upgrading your gears for more DPS.
Secondly, these MUST-have gears are rather low DPS gears. You just can't do much about it.
Thirdly, it is damn rare to get better replacement. It's either you can't find any gears better than your existing ones or you need to pay few billions for a piece of gear.

It is very difficult to push zdog build more than 135K DPS. It's an expensive build.
However, zbears can easily push more than 150K+ DPS, at half or 75% of the zdog cost.

Refer to my MP10 Ghom test,
95K DPS zdog VS 130K DPS zbear, zdog win.
128K DPS zdog VS 150K DPS zbear, it's a tie.
My zdog build stuck VS 180K+ DPS zbear, zbear win by at least 20%
My zdog build stuck VS 200K+ DPS zbear, zbear win hands down.
(Note: Both builds use SoJ)

Cost is one thing.
It is a big turn off when you can't push up your DPS. Big big turn off.

IMO, bats alone are not quite good enough.
I won't touch on the weaknesses of bats, as I presume you know it well.

It is a perfect combo to have bats and bears.
Gear up to have perma-spamming of bears.
If you can perma-spam bears, you won't have problem spamming bats.

IMO, you need full Zuni's for mana generation.
