Hello guys.. I'm back to playing my witch doctor. Been away since.. Jan this year I think.
Still much more comfortable with bears than CoB.

d3up.com is fantastic btw.. upgraded several pieces, still working towards my goal of 250k DPS.. well to farm MP10 comfortably.

Thanks for the tips

I've tried CoB at MP10 with SA and BR.. can permanently sustain bats channeling and as long as I'm hitting something I get life back. My gripe compared to bears is I can't move as much. For those agile and range elites, or pack of mobs with knock backs, it gets really annoying.. or for e.g. trying to tackle Act I key warden.. Maybe I just don't have enough DPS for MP10 yet. I have an SoJ, it'll drop my EHP by 45k, but might go well with JF in MP10.

The rest of my build is currently for farming efficiently at MP5 to MP7. GF + GI gives me mana and refreshes my cool down so I can run from mob to mob and keep up with a super speed barb. Plus it goes well with PUR to vacuum up gold I'm kinda hoping I can bring this build up to MP10, but I don't know yet if that's really possible..
Ghostbomb is just for opening crates/doors/etc
Paranoia is more for increased group damage + controlling elite packs so they don't move as much, although the latter doesn't always works well Maybe I can swap this out for CoB

Hey some interesting WD changes from datamining RoS?
