OK, so while advice is being dispensed - what do you think of this: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Superjakes-2462/hero/30382073?

Please note the bonus from the ceremonial knife. I would really like advice on the passive skills and runes, potentially the skills as well. Anything can help, please.

It does not look like your using so much mana why not swap out Gruesome Feast for pierce of veil?
Second is try to reroll movementspeed on your boots/chest/pants into something like AR/armor/vit/int
I cannot see you you rolled sockets into them, but if you did not reroll the MS . rather use your pragon levels to get +25ms it is worth having it and it is also capped at 25
 
something more to think about... fettish dps vs your primary attack dps

with a WD I think its fair to say that your fetish passive creates little okes that do a hell of a lot of damage. Lets say that you can keep up at least 10 of them and 3 zombie dogs. Both of those are physical damage. Ok, park that

then you got rain of toads that is poison, and lets say some acid cloud (spamm) which is also poison.

I wonder which pair would do more damage over a whole level? The fettishes and the dogs? Or the toads and the acid cloud?

because you sit with a decision to make, should you re-roll +% poision or physical on your items?

I would say poison and pray for a zunimassa set to drop, then dropping the fetish passive something for else and use fetish army - head hunters, even though there are only 2 blowdarts guys doing poison damage the other with the knives do poison damage.
This is what I'm doing and going to do but just with fire.

this is a physical build, so try and get as much physical skill damage increased items as possible from a helm(if you don't have a Mask of Jeram), amulet, weapon (doombringer) bracers and off hand if you can.

Annndddd now I have to sit at work and chew on that.. Aaargh!

Thx man :D
 
I gambled a Zunimassa trail and pick up a Zunimassa Pox, rerolled a socket to get CHD and got it to 48% on the ring, so I just need one more item to replace the fetish passive, still need tasker and theo and a starmetal kukri...
 
So would any of you WD pro's mind taking a look at my profile, and guide me in the right direction with the goal being to one day solo T6, atm I can do T2, but upgrades seem few and far between

What do you like to play, skills wise?
Make yourself an aughild's search with fire damage, and get a better chest armor with more sockets. stone of jordan and a ring of royal grandeur, with these items you can get up to t3-t4

Thinking of trying this build http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#WlYTQU!YVWT!bbcZbZ so maybe opt for poison damage instead along with your other recommendations?

Switch your zombie dogs to life link rune, you don't have enough gear with life per hit to make leeching beast worthwhile.
and if going for poison, get more poison damage skills rather then the piranhas, like acid cloud... get the gear test it out. When you do that you can change grave injustice for vision quest maybe

Looking cool, my suggestion is maybe change your midnight feast to zombie handler or fierce loyalty, because you don't rely on your dogs to do the damage just to keep the attention off you and survivability! Also try Pierce the veil for more damage rather than grave injustice, vision quest will cancel the 30% increase in mana cost out

Thanks for pointing that out Jaco. I did have Zombie Handler on, and forgot to switch it back! oops!

I dont think that is gonna work for this build though? I rely heavily on that Grave Injustice to chop down my CD's for Piranhas and Big Bad Voodoo. Being able to almost spam Piranhas is important to me, coz you can drag them all into the frogs that are raining down, and spam acid cloud on them all as well. It works like a boss.

Maybe its jut the wizard in me... reminds me of Black Hole :D

Ag it was just a suggestion, I also can't go without my Grave Injustice, I also used piranhado to cc the ***** out of the mobs before I went fire
 
Mass Confusion - Mass Hysteria, it is a very powerfull skill, I use it only when there are elites! The stun works awesome with my Amulet!
 
Found the last piece to the zunimassa puzzle, after hundreds of gambles for the offhand, I decided to do one more rift last night and went for chest armor, got the piece within 15 tries:D
Now this opened so many doors on what build to go for, I cannot part with my amulet, so getting something with elemental damage is not possible.
My primary damage lies in the fetish army with 136% increase damage from gear and I know they are more powerfull than the sycophants passive. so I ditched the passive.
Now I'm using zombie charger - undeath, and it does alot of damage, in a dense mob area it is awesome. And I can spam these like crazy. All I need now is manajuma's gory fetch and some steady strikers or lacuni prowlers bracers.
My brain is in full throttle, I feel like a little kid in a candy store and I can only have one nana...:D:):(:erm:
 
Finally had enough gear and the right gear to try out a fire WD this weekend. \

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/SpiralS-2464/hero/477036

Most of my gear is Wizard hand me downs and the rolls on my current gear isnt to great, but the mobility I have gained from fire is amazing. Dropping vampire bats was probably to best thing I could do since I can now drop fire bombs in packs and keep on moving with piranhas as my main cc I can nuke with zombie charger. Its not as high numbers as pile on but mobility and range helps allot here.

The biggest star of this build is Gargantuan-Wrathful protector. This thing ploughs through an elite pack on T2 like butter. Burning dogs and fetishes keep everything else at bay.

All I need now is mask of Jeram...
