Witch Doctor Game
Witch Doctor Game
Shidabeeda did a lot of research for this game. She sought to find a commonality between the concept of a healer or witch doctor which crops up in almost all cultures, yet always slightly differently. Longer description to follow. Game by: Shidabeeda An incredibly complex dress up game spanning not just one or two places but just about the entire WORLD! Shidabeeda was inspired by the concept of a spiritual healer, sometimes known as a witch doctor, re-curring in separate cultures all around the world.
Diablo 3's Witch Doctor class relies on long-range damage combined with a mixture of supernatural minions, there to do your bidding in combat. If you prefer the summoner role in RPGs, it's the natural choice for you. Oh, and if you like doing the magical equivalent of emptying chemical toilets over your enemies' heads, it's not a bad choice either.
How to level up a Witch Doctor
Like the Wizard, the Witch Doctor derives much of its damage effectiveness from the Intelligence stat, but you're also reliant on Vitality as you approach higher levels and increasingly challenging difficulty settings. If you haven't found a Head item with a socket in it, go and visit the Mystic to have one put in, then insert a Ruby to boost your experience gains. Your high-damage weapons should also have Rubies socketed into them for levelling process.
For the first half of the levelling curve, it's very hard to create an inefficient levelling build - just combine your preferred signature spell with summonable minions, and enough defensive options to keep you alive. Once you reach around level 35, however, it's worth looking for something a little more tried and tested if you want to keep levelling efficiently and move into tougher difficulty levels. Try Noxxic.com for some mid-game builds that will at least get you going in the right direction as you tweak your skills to taste.
Which Follower for the Witch Doctor?
Hardcore players will likely want to opt for the Templar during the levelling process, thanks to its 'oops'-friendly emergency healing and stun buffs. Otherwise, and just like the other classes, it's best to go for a Follower who shares the same stat priorities as your hero, so that they can benefit from your second-hand equipment. For the Witch Doctor, that makes the Enchantress an excellent choice.

Preparing a Witch Doctor for Torment
Apart from the usual business of scouring Rifts for legendaries and powerful rares, it's worth spending your hard-earned Bounty shards at the Gambler. Your ultimate objective here is to get a Mask of Jeram as your Legendary Head item, a Stone of Jordan ring, and one of the many powerful off-hand Mojos. Try to get the Head slot filled first, as it has the biggest impact on your combat performance.
While you're hunting down those Legendaries at the Gambler, you need to equip the best yellow Rare items you can find. First things first, you want a very high Intelligence rating on every item, plus three sockets on your Chest item and two on your Legs. Into these sockets, place the best Topaz gems you either have in your inventory or can craft at the Jeweler. Make sure you roll an unneeded weapon stat into a socket at the Mystic and apply your best Emerald.
In terms of secondary stats, look to get plenty of Vitality via your Head, Shoulders and Boots. The next important stats to work into your items, either through lucky drops or payment at the Mystic, are Critical Hit Chance and Critical Hit Damage. As a rough guideline you want to keep these stats in a 1:10 ratio respectively.
The Witch Doctor gem guide
It's generally accepted that the highest Emerald you can craft or loot is best for your weapon socket at Level 70. As for the rest of your equipment, put a Topaz in every available socket you have, unless you're really struggling to stay alive. If that's the case, you can give up a socket for an Amethyst, but this should be a short-term solution as you look to acquire Vitality from elsewhere in the long-term.
End-game Witch Doctor weapons and armour
We've said it for other classes in our guide, and we'll say it again for the Witch Doctor: the key to maximising your end-game gear lies in acquiring the Ring of Royal Grandeur. With it, you'll be able to gain the set bonuses of armour with one less piece of each set equipped.
Alongside that particular ring, you're looking for the aforementioned Stone of Jordan and a Mask of Jeram Head piece. Tasker and Theo is a superb Gloves option, while the Jade Harvest and Aughild's sets are worth equipping so that you can exploit the set bonuses. As for weaponry, both the Uhkapian Serpent and Thing of the Deep are extremely popular off-hand Mojos, while Thunderfury yet again takes the crown as the most popular weapon. Just make sure your character build reflects the bonuses you receive from your newly acquired gear.

How to spend Paragon points
As always, the faster you can move around the environment, the faster you can reach objectives and new packs of monsters to obliterate. For this reason, throw everything you've got into the Core category's Movement Speed until you've maxed it out. Then focus on increasing your Intelligence rating.
In the Offence category, focus on Critical Hit Damage, then Critcial Hit Chance and Attack Speed. For your Defense points, fill up your Armor and Life fairly evenly, then go into Life Regeneration. Finally, your Utility points should go into Area Damage first, then Life On Hit, then the remaining categories.

Witch-Doctor is the third boss of the Tower of Ascension, and is found at the top of Floor 3. It is a level 75 mob, that possesses a unique fighting style. It summons a clone, heals, and shoots projectiles. When killed, it drops the 'Crystal Shard [Floor 3 - Level 10]', given to the Floor Master to advance to Floor 4.
Appearance[editedit source]
Witch-Doctor is a Baby Zombie with a jack-o-lantern-esque melon head and no other armor. It stands in a typical zombie position, wielding a stick-like wand (for which the texture can be seen on certain obtainable wand-type weapons).
Location[editedit source]
Witch-Doctor is found at the top of Floor 3 of the Tower of Ascension.
Combat[editedit source]
The player should be careful of the Witch-Doctor's highly unique fighting style, as it can pose a challenge to low-damage players. Its main attack is a sword-texture projectile, shot at medium speed towards the player. Strafing the boss at proper range as a Mage or Archer avoids it almost entirely, while Assassins or Warriors may not have such luck. Its notable spells are a knockback attack (flinging the player across the room, but dealing no real damage) and an approximately 10,000 HP heal. Some time into the battle, Witch-Doctor spawns a clone of itself, able to do essentially what the Witch-Doctor does at half power: it has 27,000 HP (half of the Witch-Doctor's 54,000) and deals half damage, with the same weaknesses. Notably, the clone can damage the original and vice-versa. Besides these techniques, the Witch-Doctor acts as a standard projectile enemy and can be strategized against as such.
Witch Doctor Game
- For mages, Meteors do well in attacking both the boss and the clone, as well as dealing enough damage to negate the boss' heal. Ice snake is not particularly valuable due to the boss' stationary nature, but may come in handy in keeping the clone and original lined up. Remember to strafe the boss and heal when necessary.
- Archers have many options: play at a distance and snipe the original down while ignoring the clone, or play up close with spells and try to out-do the boss' heal. Either way, the range that archers inherently have make avoiding the boss' projectiles quite easy.
- Warriors should likely play up close and personal, attempting to out-do the boss' heal with straight damage. Spells which can target both the clone and the original are excellent choices. The knockback spell should prove no real challenge with a Charge spell back to the boss.
- Assassins can use Vanish to recuperate as no other mobs spawn, and its inherent group-focused spells can make dealing with the boss & its clone quite simple. Blinding the boss with spin attack negates the projectiles, and shredding the boss down at melee range is not a bad idea. Be wary of the boss' knockback spell, as it can set you a ways away at the boss' preferred range.
Overall, this boss' unique style and heal spell will likely prove a challenge to the player. Strategy and effective damage are key in maintaining a lead in this fight, and the player should most definitely be careful.
