Diablo® III

Zombie Bears build questions

I'm currently using a build centred around Zombie bears and I'm about 3/4 through act 2 inferno and having a medium amount of success, the only brick walls I tend to encounter are invulnerable minions and mortar with immobilising .

Generally my tactics revolve around using Spirit vessel and spirit walk to enable me to so short bursts of massive damage

Just wondering if I should tweak my build.

I've got around 20k dps at the moment

Soul harvest, Zombie dogs + sacrifice ( good for a particular method of cheesing more difficult elites), spirit walk, soul harvest.

I'm currently using a slow 1.2K dps 2h, would I be better off switching to a 1h? Less DPS but the mana regeneration would be handy, does having more attacks per second also speed up the animations? The slow casting of zombie bears makes it harder to kite and to kill ranged enemies that run away.

Should I stack just int or go for crit % and damage as well?

Just asking because I'm getting close to Belial who I found hard on hell and I know will be a nightmare on inferno.

Personally I find the Bears/Quest build very frustrating since Act II. Yes you can do a lot of dmg in short time but you have to constantly rotate cooldowns you dont need and miss them when you do need them. Plus keeping distance seems rly important on Inferno.

I gained a lot of dps when I switched from 2H to 1h+mojo. Of course, you need a decent mojo (300+ damage & 7+%crit) and a decent 1h.
Plus, the gameplay is smoother as you gain attack speed, for now I'm at 1.8 attacks per second but I'm aiming at 2.0

I managed to luck out on the AH and get a decent 1.3k damage 2h for 500K so I'll probably be sticking with that for a while. Looked at a 1h+mojo but to get DPS comparable to what I had on a 1.2k 2h was way beyond what I could afford (a good 2m+).

I did however find out that Zoltan Kulle is basically impossible with Zombie bears (costing me a nice valour stack as I switched to darts).

I'm using ZB as a primary spam attack without having VQ passive.
Farming inferno act2 like a boss.
Having 4 of your abilities on cd is the worst thing for WD imho.
You just need to stick to Mana Regen attributes on weapon, off-hand and helmet, plus take blood ritual as a passive.
