MF Summoner

 I was thinking about creating a Witch Doctor
MOAR DOTS AND MINIONS!!



Shortly after the decicion, reading through some forums I found an interesting article about WD MF (Magic Finder) Summoner.
The idea is to wear as much as possible MF stat in your gear and equip a powerful melee weapon, with high physical weapon damage. The build is called Summoner-build because of it's boost for your minions. Your minions' damage (for today's knowledge) is depending only on the weapon damage, so Witch Doctor itself is able to wear full MF gear and still be sufficient damage through minions and it's own spells.

Here is a possible build to be used:

Witch Doctor Summoner Build

  1. Grasp of the dead - gropping eals dmg increases (a lot) with better weapons. Emenies will stay on their spot anyway, fighting minions.
  2. Sacrifice - next of kin supply us with new ammunition. Sacrifice not having any cooldown allow us to spam explosions with a little luck (especialy when Big bad voodoo is used, see below)
  3. Zombie dogs - leeching beasts to keep us alive. A good balance between leech tanking (along with thorns dmg from items, see passive skills) and exploding needed.
  4. Gargantuan - restless giant to keep bosses busy, our main tank
  5. Fetish army - fetish ambush for that extra spike damage when needed. After thinking it over i decided its better than additional fetishes or reduced cooldown. If every fetish does that 250% spike damage it will probably do more than another 3 fetishes by their normal attacks during all their life time
  6. Big bad voodoo - always used along with fetish army in order to maximize damage. Boogie man allows us to continuously spam sacrifice

Passives:

  1. Jungle fortitude - a must have for any summoner build, we don't want our pets do die in one hit right?
  2. Zombie handles - another a must have skill for pure summoner
  3. Fierce loyalty - this was hard choice, but i think it wins over Tribal rites or Circle of life.

Stacking gear with thorns, replenish life and MF is going to be priority. Its nice to have some higher goal than just MF.

Now that I have my class more or less decided, I'm off to think about the Character's name and professions. Untill then, Anless out.
