Yo guys
I want to show you a build that i’ve been trying to make focusing on how to fix all WD’s issues at the same time! Obv the build is not meant to perform in low/high grs, but for T6. Why T6? Because, even if boring as hell, sometimes we still need to farm mats, keystones, horadric caches, and we will want to make it in the fastest possible way
So mainly i want to give another option to players that are bored of usual builds and especially to players that are new to the class and want to run smoothly without preying for a rare cerimonial knives.
Jade, first of all, and Carnevil are good builds for T6 but nothing compared to other classes that can clear a rift (till boss) in around 100-140 seconds in solo! WD has awful movement speed, dmg mechanics are slow (we need to trigger something else to proc set bonuses), no real AoE in main builds.. all these factors put the WD far behind other classes in an average clear time of 170+ sec with average mobs density. So you can still do it with well known builds but you have to sacrifice other important slots on your skillbar
With this build, the result is better than I expected, obv not like a monk or a barb but it's Fast, Offensive and so damn Funny
I have an average clear time of 150 sec in Solo and moreover I’m able to play in fast groups without falling deeply behind!
The Build
The build is called “Fireworks” because it’s based on explosive AoE skills, that put together make a really nice result!
Here it is the build from diablofans tool and my Youtube video:
www.diablofans.com/builds/56320-2-2-fireworks-doc-fast-and-competitive-t6-build
So, as you can see, we have Sacrifice as main AoE dmg dealer (dmg is tripled with TMF ring) and 3 more AoE offensive skills for trash mobs(Hex, Spirit Walk, Soul Harvest)! Fetishes will perform as finishers!
We have a huge and costant buff to movement speed with Spirit Walk, Hex, Horrify and Fierce Loyalty! This is possible thx to Grave Injustice + CDR on gear (I’m using shoulders, diamond on helm, Vigilante, Born’s set, but you can have way more).
The gameplay is really easy to manage! Basically you run like crazy looking for medium/big groups (4+ mobs) to restore your skills through Grave Injustice! Try always to stack your Soul Harvest buff to 5 so gain A LOT of dps! Every time you see an Elite Pack, just engage as Angry Chicken and finish it with Sacrifice!
2 little things about Sacrifice:
You have to use Big dog, you can’t perform this build with normal zombie dogs
You have 2 rapid “shots”! The dog next to you and the one insta summoned by your Homunculus (no need to wait 2 secs)
That’s a Physical build so pump your dmg with %ElementalPhysical + %Sacrifice + %Fetish Army.
The most important items are MoJ, T&T (not mandatory), Homunculus, Tall Man’s Finger and Doombringer! Yes Doombringer! You don’t need rare ceremonial knives You don’t even need a complete a 6pieces set, just boots and pants from Zuni! The rest is really easy (Born’s set is craftable) to get, bracers are free (I prefer another boost to MS, but Nemesis are also fine in T6). If you can't find a Doombringer, i'd reccoment to run Envious Blade for massive 100% AoE crit, which is also easy to farm in act 3 bags (http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/envious-blade-3FoG39)
Gems are pretty much mandatory:
BotT ( a bit tricky on boss, but basically 100% uptime in rift)
Enforcer (even if you are using MoJ and %Physical on your gear, this gem is still one of the best)
BotP (huge, fast buff to dps)
Passive Skills:
As mentioned before, Grave Injustice is mandatory, and then i'm using Fierce Loyalty for the movements speed buff, spirit vessel to reduce CD on spirit walk, horrify and Soul Harvest by 2 sec and at the end PtV for a dmg buff. If you have a good hellfire amulet to run a 5th passive or you just don't like one of the ones i'm using, then Tribal Rites is a good choice to reduce cd on hex!
PROS
No need Kukri, DoD
Easy gear
Fastest MS possible
No slow mechanics
Perfect for all types of density
No Maps layout dependent
Playable in group
Funny
CONS
Need perfect MoJ (cc+Sacrifice)
Half gear should be ancient for best performance
9 mandatory pieces
That’s all guys, I hope you can enjoy this build in your speedy sessions. Patch 2.3 is not that far, but in the meanwhile we can still take advantage of what we have.
Cya in game!
