| This is based off (a little the angry chicken build): http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6398610549 My main goal here is to take COMPLETE advantage of a very slow weapon with 0 ias and see where we could go with it, this is my effort: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#PjUigd!Teh!acYbcc please forgive my terrible selection of all gear except the hammer for this case, I just tested on mp1 and 2, but wanted to hear some input before I carried on with buying stuff The premise of the build is pretty simple: constantly spam skills that ignore attack speed to attack which rely on a massive weapon damage (i'm going to try 1 handed mace or spear with offhands as well) The passives are chosen to give the fastest cooldowns for your main skills possible with spirit vessel and tribal rites important to reduce cooldowns for skills eve when facing single opponents who don't trigger grave injustice. Skill explanations: Fetish army: Fetish ambush: massive spike of damage vs single targets and aoe, fetishes do some damage and keep the battlefield muddled Mass Confusion: Mass Hallucination: damage that relies solely on having a big stick, creates battlefield chaos, keeps groups somewhat tightly packed for aoe damage. Actually uses attack speed for animation Spirit Walk: Severance: just like mawt said, used to make you run really fast, you can get good at walking in really tight circles and doing good damage with this Hex: Angry Chicken: More battlefield chaos, does massive aoe damage Spirit Barrage: Manitou: DoT skill constantly does 2 seeking attacks per second regardless of weapon speed, the bigger the stick the better Manitou is, basically speeds up very slow weapons. Is constantly active, even while a chicken or in spirit walk. Also breaks all boxes and runs down stragglers. Soul Harvest: Vengeful Spirit: attack speed independent animation, does massive aoe damage, offers huge offensive and defensive buff Alternate skills: I Often put Horrify: Frightening aspect instead of Mass confusion but this can be annoying from time to time if you misfear a group all randomly, it does give a massive, constant (in this build) armor buff which is hard to ignore. To Play: Takes a little practice but basically get Manitou up, spirit walk->soul harvest->mass confusion->hex->repeat (they will usually be recharged if you play it smart and run into groups of 3+ you can run fetish army whenever you want but it is very good against boss groups or individual bosses (250% weapon damage *6 vs 1 target is a huge spike fetish army cooldown is only ~25-30 seconds if you play well, and mass confusion is usually every 15-20 seconds Any thoughts? | ||

| I wanted to incorporate Angry Chicken into a Witch Doctor build a while ago (sometime around 1.0.3), but never had much success with doing so. It's probably because my gear wasn't that good at the time. I'm glad to hear you found a fun build that uses it, and I look forward to giving it another shot. | ||
