Yeah those are very nice indeed. You basically gain 30~ str and lose 0.5% crit/1% CDR compared with the ones I have.

Got a moderately better Akkhans helm than the one I had on. My last one also had Fire Res which was pointless as I was fire immune :D

Still hunting for better Akkhans Chest/Legs, been gambling on chests now 4-5K shards I reckon, not had any luck yet. Did get a chest to drop but rolled sucky stats :(.

After I get the last couple of bits I may work on a lightning build with Blessed Hammers, looks like it could be fun if not speedy!

I dropped another FotF which I gave to a guy in my rift, as the stats weren't as good as the one I had on. Had high hopes but oh well. RNG is RNG I guess.

My lightning hammer build is a lot of fun, and it is fast against groups. Single Target is good too if you're face-to-face. All the AOE arcs onto that target.
 
Dropped a very reasonable looking Schaefers Hammer, but wondering if I should roll with a TF instead and go 1H, or even look at using a Fulminator/Odyn Son if I have any decent ones anywhere.

Either way, will look at that build some more after I sort out the rest of my shotgun build, I feel that with a better Akkhans chest at least I would be pretty much "done" with the gear I need for it :)

I know I have a SOJ with Lightning on that I can reroll so that is sorted, pretty sure I have some Lightning % Reapers too, don't think I have any decent Lighting Amulets though so might need to get one of those first.

I have full Zunni too but it can only currently spawn 8 fetish, where the passive can can spawn up to 15 iirc. So you dont really need zunni unless you have a carnevil or something where you need to keep the fetish in a certain position.

Does Zunni not make the passive spawn ones last forever then? :(
Useful to know if that is the case. Sounds like it's still nice in a lot of situations though, but sounds like individual legendaries is the way to go for most dps on a WD.
I've currently got Tall Mans Finger and a single Unity. Really need a second Unity, MoJ, T&T and ideally a Stone of Jordan to really start going beyond T3 comfortably I think. Not having much luck with shards at the moment :/
 
Zuni set makes Fetish Army last until they die, yes. It's bugged atm though and if you use Sycophants once you're at the 15 cap they start to overwrite FA fetishes.

I have enough Zuni pieces to get the set bonus but I cba using it atm since I pretty much always have 15 fetishes out, and they kill a T5 rift boss (2.6Billion HP) in around 12 seconds anyway.

Thanks. I was mucking around with my build last night and due to the Ring of Royal Grandeur I have the full Blackthorne's set bonus and the 4 set bonus for the Maruader's set.

Although base DPS has only gone down slightly,peak DPS against Elites is around 10% to 15% less,although I have all the pets now!! :p

Ditch Blackthornes and go for 6-piece Marauders, Blackthornes sucks :p

Check out my brother's build: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/SpaceMonkey-2283/hero/7026975

Massive amount of DPS. It's spread out DPS between him, sentries and pets, so nothing spikes particularly hard but the rate the build hits for really makes up for that.

Got this last night for my Barb, first one to drop for me :D

Makes a nice change being back on 1 handers. I missed the attack speed for hota!

Skorn is pretty much awful now, I would reroll the area dmg on the Baleful for something more useful (Wrath gen/sec, +10% Dmg, or CDR %).

Best 2h Flail I think is the Fate of the Fell imo, I really love it :)

Yeah they will last until they die but as mentioned it only spawns 8 max at one time and it will overwrite so imo it pointless having full zunni because the rain of toads combo with fetish passive u can spawn the full 15 faster than they can die. I recently found a good Talls mans trifecta and with the new setup i have basically ditched full zunni and with the new fire/poison dog combo it has absolutely melted/obliterated everything on T5. So give it a whirl. :D

For dps I personally find partials sets comboing with RroG yields better firepower rather than individual legendaries. So it really depends. I currently have 3 set bonus on 1 character :D

Pink look me up and i will try and run some rifts if you if you want.

Yeah I'm liking adventure mode too. Much better than playing through the same quests over and over again.

Almost level 60 on HC crusader now. Can't believe how quickly you can level. This is my first character so I started with nothing. Only been playing 2 or 3 days, and not even that much per day. Content feels a bit easy tbh. I swear it's basically impossible to die whilst leveling. I don't think I've ever dropped below 50% hp, and I've only used 2 health pots the entire game. Started off on normal difficulty, moved to hard and completed act V, now I'm on master and it still feels pretty easy. Could probably handle higher no problem but I'm going to wait a bit just to be on the safe side.

What's your nick - I'll tag along to compare!

Was running some T4 on my WD last night with Silures. Not actually as big a jump than I was expecting, need to be careful to avoid standing on ground effects and within range of big melee hits but with 15 pets creating a nice shield around me it's not too tricky for the most part.

Currently running with exploding frogs as I've got the legendary knife that makes them aim better - that vs a mob of enemies is awesome!

Have blown so many shards trying to get a Mask of Jeram, but still yet to get anything better than my Andarial's Visage. Up to around 1.2m dps with 5.5m toughness, but feels a lot more effective. My dog regularly crits for 20m, each of the frogs and fetish seem to crit for around 4m - against some targets I'm critting a couple of times a second. The poison nova from my helm goes off constantly - shame it doesn't really apply much dps!
 
I haven't even used the shards yet or properly looked at crafting. Ill have to join a private game some time and work it out. Every time i join there is never any time to look at that as people always leave if you don't play.

I have maximum shards capacity i think 400 but when i go to the merchant who deals with the shards, everything is still locked. To be fair i have not looked in to it.
 
Im up for t3 and higher farming with Witchdoctors to maximise loot drops between us, add me Xylonite#2178 if you have a WD and want to group up and do some runs to share loot etc :)
 
I can see the big dog from tall mans finger getting nerfed, my ring isn't even that good and I'm not even specced towards a certain elemental for it but I've seen 160mil crits against elites/bosses, makes t6 a walk in the park :/
 
Cant see why it would get a massive nerf, to make the full use of it requires a lot of specific passives, plus you lose a lot of survivability by having less dogs / gargs / FS etc out to protect you. Its all your dogs rolled into one really, yeah its powerful no more powerful than my Crusader mashing through t6 face tanking everything though.

People need to start waking up to the fact that each class has some extremely powerful setups if you spend the time getting the items required.

ive seen wizards with WoW mashing up the place, DH mashing up the place, Barbs leaping all over the shizzle mashing it up, only class i feel sorry for right now is Monk.
 
That's the thing though I don't even have my gear specced for it and it's made it so easy, less survivability isn't really a thing either as you wipe packs quicker, gargantuan, big dog, 15 fetishes = lol

My Tasker and Theo gloves are poor, the ring is poor, I haven't managed to get any good physical damage gear yet T6 became easy mode with 1 ring. It doesn't need a massive nerf but atm it's broken especially once you gear for it and you're doing 300 mil hits to elites on top of 30-40 mil crits from each fetish and around the same from your garg. That being said once tiered rifts hit you'll probably need those builds to compete.
