Okay so I finally decided to check out this Witch Doctor build everyone keeps yelling about. Had my old gear gathering dust since season 15 honestly. Booted up Diablo 3 feeling kinda rusty, like where do I even start?
Digging Through My Trash Gear
First thing I did was open my stash – total disaster zone. Three tabs full of ancient stuff collecting cobwebs. Started clicking through all these weird voodoo masks until I spotted the Mundunugu’s Regalia set buried under some demon blood potions. Only had five pieces so had to run nephalem rifts for an hour screaming at Kadala to cough up the damn shoulders. Lady gave me three Broken Crowns before finally dropping them. Typical.
Slapping On The Spirit Barrage Setup
Once the set was complete I slapped on these bad boys:
- Gazing Demise mojo – rolled 185% Spirit Barrage damage after six tries
- Barber ceremonial knife – almost salvaged this purple piece of trash last week
- Ring of Emptiness – dug this outta my seasonal transfer stash
Skills took forever to setup right. Kept dying horribly until I realized I forgot Soul Harvest for stacking toughness. Felt so dumb standing there getting one-shot by treasure goblins.
Testing The Zombie Apocalypse
Took this mess into Torment XVI rift – HOLY MOTHER OF GHOSTS. My screen just exploded with purple spirits. The Barber knife stored all the damage then popped like a freaking nuclear bomb when things died. Cleared three elite packs in 10 seconds while my lazy Gargantuan just chilled eating corpses. Highest grift I managed was 85 before running out of time – need better jewelry rolls for sure.
Other Sets I Messed With
Before this I wasted two nights on other “top” builds people mentioned:
- Zunimassa’s Haunt – Army of fetishes looked cool but died if anything sneezed near them
- Arachyr’s Firebats – Spider queen buff kept timing out during boss fights
- Helltooth Garg – Slowest trash clearer ever but could facetank rift guardians
Mundunugu’s blew ’em all out the water damage-wise. You gotta deal with being made of wet paper though. Nearly ragequit when phase beasts teleported behind me mid-cast.
So yeah that’s my chaotic Witch Doctor journey. Still missing ancient versions for half this crap but man when the spirit bombs connect? Pure magic. Just remember to keep moving or you’ll be checking the respawn timer often.
