Raxx, thank you again for the great guide. Probably too hard for me in my casual season game, but I really appreciate you creating these guides and sharing with us!
Rax the longer you channel the more it builds no matter how many detonate when you finally let go the explosion that happens then is where your big damage pops come from. By far my fav build in the game
I would have fun getting my name on the leaderboard but PS5 leaderboards are full with ppl with hacked items (1000000 stats per item) so not so much fun
GR 110 is where I usually stop if I don't lose interest in the season before then. Around there is where the gameplay switches from "find new stuff" to "you've already got BiS in each slot, now farm for ancient 3 stat BiS in each slot and 5k paragon" I normally don't augment my gear more than a few times, if I do it at all.
It’s pretty simple one, the whole concept of the play is to find yellows and hope they don’t teleport or illusionists , kill and move on and hope to end up with a condu in a decent map to spawn the boss which can be killed instantly with this build. No need to fish rifts, only fishing for condo and yellows type
Wd is my main and I didn't play him for seasons cause he was completely garbage. I don't need him to be the best just be viable but he wasn't even playable last seasons.
“What class should I play this season?” “Well, if you want to play the new barb sets, then I recommend monk or DH” “What about wizards?” “Sure, they have a rework, so I recommend the monk or DH” “This seasonal theme looks like it’s benefiting the crusaders, what do you think?” “Yep, it has great stuff with the new legendary items, therefore I recommend you playing monk or DH” Can’t wait to play monk or DH this season!
I think I'm actually going to play WD again, if only to play with a few ideas with the changed powers. It'll be nice to do Jade again with screenwide pixel pulls.
@@heybaeuwb8888 I know, it’s just that seems to be what most of blizzard ever touches nowadays so it’s not really even about meta but about viability and fun which isn’t really ever an option each season
It looks too difficult for me to pull off, especially because of no feedback. I got no idea about whats going on on the screen even while you were exactly explaining it.
I dont understand why blizzard opted for such a complicated mechanic with the accumulating damage on spirit barrage instead of just having the dmg multiplicator by itself
I'm glad wd mundungus is good, but it's always our best. Please don't give up trying to get a pet build right. People want to play as wd for pets, wudijo is already claiming wd are now fine despite the pets being useless. Buffing dagger of darts, arachyr and mundungus doesn't really change anything for us, there always the only playable builds. If I wanted to just throw spells I'd play a wizard. And dagger of darts doesn't count, its atrociously squishy and not actually that fun, also the pets are useless without us using poison dart. I'd rather they make carnevil exempt from pet stuff and buff the rest of pet mechanics.
This would go better with Arachyr chicken doctor, especially with Manajuma IMO. Put the staff in the cube since it's required, let everything get poisoned. I don't know if the angelic blessings stack or not to get all three powers but if it does, that'll be perfect.
I was sure all mention of the "massive damage" was sarcastic, and the run would time out. Never expected the Piranha to insta-gibb the big'un 🤣 Seems like Mundunugu will finally be a bit more engaging, instead of living in Spirit Walk and just keeping Phantasms up.
Helltooth should no longer use wall of death. Base helltooth on the sacrifice skill. 2 piece - sacrifice gains 2 of the runes and you periodically summon zombie dogs. 4 piece - for 8 seconds after casting sacrifice gain 60% damage reduction. Sacrifice stacks up to 5 times Gargantuans and zombie dogs deal 100% more damage per stack. 6 piece - for 8 seconds after casting sacrifice your gargs, dogs and sacrifice damage is increased by 20,000%. Gargs gain the cleave rune. Reduce the cool down of gargs by 50%. Of course damage numbers can be adjusted to fit other builds.
This would only force 2 skills gargantuas and sacrifice. (No one wants dogs on their bar.). Then this build would have options such as lakumbras, piranado, locust swarm for ring of emptiness, slam dance, horrify, spirit walk, etc.
_Mundunugu's_ is my fav set but I find it janky sometimes not doing the dmg it should after accumulation. In one grift I can blast a boss down almost instantly but with others it's like my barrages are potato :[ I try to spread pestilence as much as possible but I just can't understand why on one try I hold down spamming _Spirit Barrage_ blasts one boss but on another I have to play the accumulation tactic (waiting).
You are 2440 paragon with maxed out legendary gems and nearly perfect gear and you struggled to pass 135. Shouldn't an S tier build be able to solo 150 with this conditions?
the Piranha power has the Bodadile rune deal massive dmg to bosses. Massive in this case meaning instantly kill it since it takes advantages of some of your gear buffs
10x stacking 1s of phantasm dmg or 1x stacking 10s is the same dps in the end Why would you bother to stack until the end of phantasm's duration when you can just spam for the exact same result, what matter are the multipliers like the occulus and EW set but once the multiplier are maximised and eveyrthing is packed you can just explode everything. Anyway, any build including Bogadile is "strong" atm since you can clear GR 150 using Bogadile ONLY.. -_- EDIT: I was wrong, see the explanation below 👌
Thats is not correct, if u spam u will kill some of the tresh minions say at second 4 of spamming, so the explosions that follow will have less dmg, at sec 6 u will kill some of the harder thrash and again lower the dmg of the following explosions, because there are fewer targets. At the end u will have the elites only and u deal very low dmg to that elites. The pulses accumulate dmg for everything they hit, so if they number of monsters decrease the dmg goes down. If u let them accumulate to the end, they will stack up dmg from every single monster in the pull and deal that as explosion in the expiration. And the bogadile will very likely get a fix, it seems it benefits from multipliers wich it shouldnt.
@@MrGemaxos Hmmm ok got it, makes more sense with clear explanation thanks mate ! I thought the phantasm was accumulating it's "own dmg" only instead of all the dmg dealt on all the monsters hit
This build confuses the hell outta me. Up til GR90 I thought it was an autobomber where the projectiles flying from me were doing all the damage, and then suddenly it felt like I couldn't kill anything and find out I need to kill stuff with the phantasms. Sadly I'm playing on Switch and doing accurate targeting is impossible, so RIP build I guess. I was loving it before it abruptly stopped working how I thought it did
I was thinking of trying wd this season. But i Have Never played it. And if you dont Have mastered it is way over my casual brain 😂 Is necro easier to play?
I've never played this class, mainly because Witch Doctors always seem to suck at speed clearing, I hope that's not the case this season so I can try this :D
Question is the damage the same or more if I cast the 3 sb's while in the oculus ring at the start not when I cast the final ones? Guess I'm saying do they start off with the 85% more damage because I casted while in the ring?
Dmg comme front the witch doctor it selft during the time he is letting the phantasm accumulate dmg. even if you cast the phantasm IN a ring and then move out. only the time spend in the ring will be counted as accumulated dmg. I mainly do witch doctor mundu and i noted big flaws in is gameplay but he is saying and doing the basics correctly
haha, that RG! I wish i could play this build but for whatever reason, I'm terrible at WD. I'm always dying. Everything that looks at me kills me once i get to t16+ I don't know why it is that I'm cursed not being able to play it even decently.
It's not you, that's wd. It will die to anything instantly, those that do well understand this and play in a way to avoid the one shots, but it's tiring and requires constant focus.
dont know how im fully augmented this season and without buffs im sitting almost 6500 of each resistance pretty hard to die in anything less then 110 tbh
Is it worth to play demon hunter in s27? This is the second week since i starded playing and i have been playing only monk and i cant decide to play monk again in the new season or try demon hunter
Well you said it yourself i don't play this, along with most of the player base, why would you when Necro is doing 150GR Nova build, WD needs an S tier pet build as a pet class, it does not compare against other classes, and was relegated vs Necro a long time ago. Blizz please do not release classes which are to similar as you will relegate one never to be played again. Maybe it gets used a a group Meta occasionally but Solo still not viable, why do all that work when other classes breeze through at this level.
It´s Blizz...and ptr..they just push whatever buffs or nerf it to the ground. So, in the end they just keep it or kill it, like the one dev. that works on it just don´t care to much..:)
Favorite GR build so far. Cleared GR132 at P1800 with it on S20, probably still have recordings on channel. Man it was good to both push and speed with it.
Here he is with a 2440 paragon seasonal character on a public test realm, and the best seasonal paragon I've ever gotten was 370ish. Why do I even watch these?? lol
I was actually watching you play this yesterday and was wondering "Why is he just standing still, is the animation bugging out or what". Never even occured to me that a D3 build would require you to just sit your ass down and do nothing. Doesn't sound too appealing to me ngl.
Sounds too complicated.. reminds me of Algebra class.. I should stop looking forward to PTR changes.. As they eventually lead to nerfs. Remember that StarPact Wizard build? That was nuts having 1 Giant Arcane Meteor use up all your resources for 1 giant attack. Mirror Images FireBird was strong but it was so random with its reliability but it still got nerfed... *sigh*
I agree. As soon as I saw the 20 magic missile firebird potential I was thinking. "Well lets have some fun on the PTR because wizard is going to get nerfed.... Again."
Raxx, thank you again for the great guide. Probably too hard for me in my casual season game, but I really appreciate you creating these guides and sharing with us!
Rax the longer you channel the more it builds no matter how many detonate when you finally let go the explosion that happens then is where your big damage pops come from. By far my fav build in the game
It's so fun, sounds like a shotgun blast when they crumble.
Lol @ your reaction after the rift guardian kill. That had me rolling.
HAhaa same :D
202'262T Damage at the end. Fair
202 quadrillion, nice
So exited to play this next season, this has been my favourite build ever since it came out.
TBH I never really go beyond GR 90. They should add a proper incentive to go beyond lvl 90 couse just gems lvls aint cutting it for me.
I would have fun getting my name on the leaderboard but PS5 leaderboards are full with ppl with hacked items (1000000 stats per item) so not so much fun

I normally don't augment my gear more than a few times, if I do it at all.
Finish. Conquests around paragon 900 then go back to ffxi bis mmo
I agree 👍 also class specific paragons would be nice.
@@elarivn2384 last time I played there were no hacked items on seasonal leaderboards, just on no seasonal.
Love it! Most difficult and yet most satisfying playstyle in the game. Hope it holds on as at least TK. If it was ALSO the RGK, WD just won the game 😎
"Sometimes it is about sending the message" You know it!
It’s pretty simple one, the whole concept of the play is to find yellows and hope they don’t teleport or illusionists , kill and move on and hope to end up with a condu in a decent map to spawn the boss which can be killed instantly with this build.
No need to fish rifts, only fishing for condo and yellows type
insta kill on boss is a bugg tho, wont ever make it to live.
Oooh, if Mundunugu is back to being viable I might play this season - it’s such a fun build to play!
Been waiting for this vid since PTR started. Havent played WD in a while and am looking forward to this! Thanks for the vid Raxx
Wd is my main and I didn't play him for seasons cause he was completely garbage. I don't need him to be the best just be viable but he wasn't even playable last seasons.
Please just let this stick because I sorely want to play something other than monk and DH for the 27th season in a row 😂
“What class should I play this season?”
“Well, if you want to play the new barb sets, then I recommend monk or DH”
“What about wizards?”
“Sure, they have a rework, so I recommend the monk or DH”
“This seasonal theme looks like it’s benefiting the crusaders, what do you think?”
“Yep, it has great stuff with the new legendary items, therefore I recommend you playing monk or DH”
Can’t wait to play monk or DH this season!
I think I'm actually going to play WD again, if only to play with a few ideas with the changed powers. It'll be nice to do Jade again with screenwide pixel pulls.
you are not forced to play monk and dh 🤷 meta boy
@@murphy54000 Jade Bogadile is my favourite wd ptr build, even though its out powered
@@heybaeuwb8888 I know, it’s just that seems to be what most of blizzard ever touches nowadays so it’s not really even about meta but about viability and fun which isn’t really ever an option each season
I'll be playing this just it requires thinking and strategy and not just mindless button lashing like a lot of the other builds
It looks too difficult for me to pull off, especially because of no feedback. I got no idea about whats going on on the screen even while you were exactly explaining it.
oh yes WD getting badass ! i like it
I dont understand why blizzard opted for such a complicated mechanic with the accumulating damage on spirit barrage instead of just having the dmg multiplicator by itself
Because they refuse to let witch doctors have a simple powerful build, gotta make it complicated as heck
@@Malvekazar767 but that‘s kinda a cool thing
They should just make it better then a single button press build so it‘s at least worth the effort
Why haven't you guys taken the cashgrab immortal stuff off of your site yet?
You make some pretty awesome Vids . Thx for explain all the Builts
Holy Mother of God! Did you just 5 sec the boss? WOW!!😯
I'm glad wd mundungus is good, but it's always our best. Please don't give up trying to get a pet build right. People want to play as wd for pets, wudijo is already claiming wd are now fine despite the pets being useless. Buffing dagger of darts, arachyr and mundungus doesn't really change anything for us, there always the only playable builds. If I wanted to just throw spells I'd play a wizard. And dagger of darts doesn't count, its atrociously squishy and not actually that fun, also the pets are useless without us using poison dart. I'd rather they make carnevil exempt from pet stuff and buff the rest of pet mechanics.
Wow Raxxx!!! Amazing WD!!!
You make so much quality videos- Blizzard needs to hire you
Why hire him when they can just poach all his and other content creators idea for free instead? Which is what they do anyway
This would go better with Arachyr chicken doctor, especially with Manajuma IMO. Put the staff in the cube since it's required, let everything get poisoned. I don't know if the angelic blessings stack or not to get all three powers but if it does, that'll be perfect.
The animation of that croc just eating the RG is more satisfying than the dmg lol!!
what about spider RG killer build. Its OK for this season?
I was sure all mention of the "massive damage" was sarcastic, and the run would time out. Never expected the Piranha to insta-gibb the big'un 🤣
Seems like Mundunugu will finally be a bit more engaging, instead of living in Spirit Walk and just keeping Phantasms up.

Also thought the set could do something cool like on your 10th cast of Sacrifice you sac 1 or all of your gargs for a damage bomb of some sort.
Raxx had fun with a WD????? That's a win!
Did the crocodile OS the boss 🤔
This with the barbs new ww power should be pretty nice right?

He said he's still getting used to the mechanics. And how do you know he has perfect gear? Lol he doesn't really play Witch Doctors.
Because the Ring Compass Rose and Traveler Pledges it's sucks. Better put Squirt's Necklace and Convention of Elements....and you have more power.
@@2r3tard3d because during the PTR he has limitless resources and he always rerolls the gear pieces until he gets the nearly perfect ones.
i would say 2440 paragon is still kinda low to fuck around with 150 gr's as a WD even with the seasonal power
14:43 how does that make sense? :O That dmg on the RG I mean
A giant ancient crocodile was summoned from the pool depths. Boss is just another meal for this beast. LoL.
the Piranha power has the Bodadile rune deal massive dmg to bosses. Massive in this case meaning instantly kill it since it takes advantages of some of your gear buffs

Doesn’t phantasm snap shot damage, i.e. it only matters if you’re in an occulus ring when you cast it
No. It accumulates damage for 10 seconds, and anything that happens during that time dynamically alters the damage. (Oculus, CoE, spirit walk, etc.)
@@wonderjoo must have misremembered that then. It has been a while!
@@xTobsecretx it snapshots the damage from sacrificing dogs. Maybe that's what you were thinking of.
i wouldn't say S tier maybe higher A tier close to S but not S

Only for shadow impale utilizing strafe. Maybe Marauder Sentry with enhanced Vengeance rockets. Cluster arrow new power seems shit
Wish they would make spirit barrage PETS again.

nice rat run homie
It's really not that complicated to play. It's really just that the wd deal damage over time that's the downside
Tier List when?
2:07 eventually they explire -Raxx, 2022
It´s Blizz...and ptr..they just push whatever buffs or nerf it to the ground. So, in the end they just keep it or kill it, like the one dev. that works on it just don´t care to much..:)
Bravo!
Ok, so can someone please explain the "massive damage" at the end there??
What gr was this
It's a PTR bug, wd sucks ass unfortunately
This build with barb will dominate duo ladder
Always my go to build for WD it's high tier every season and the extra power just helps it.
he barely cleared a 135, some class's clear 150 easier. witch doctor S tier support maybe, but not solo wise
That’s awesome hope it staysx
Wow, you destroyed the guardian though!
That ending WTF
😂🤣🤣
Favorite GR build so far. Cleared GR132 at P1800 with it on S20, probably still have recordings on channel.
Man it was good to both push and speed with it.
You are using the bogadile but will get nerfed
Wtf happened with the boss?
A giant ancient crocodile was summoned from the pool depths. Boss is just another meal for this beast.
Using this witch doctor requires a theoretical physics diploma in harvard
this is what d3 clears would be without rift guardians being in the game.
Here he is with a 2440 paragon seasonal character on a public test realm, and the best seasonal paragon I've ever gotten was 370ish. Why do I even watch these?? lol
Bogadile is straight loony tunes 🤣❤😂
i still dont like it.. i like seeing massive progress bar
Raxx it's still weaker then last couple season Inna pet Monk still can't reach with this setup GR150!!
Thanks for the guide. Gonna skip that build, seems really annoying and clunky.
lol wtf. WD is the RGK for next season.
I was actually watching you play this yesterday and was wondering "Why is he just standing still, is the animation bugging out or what". Never even occured to me that a D3 build would require you to just sit your ass down and do nothing. Doesn't sound too appealing to me ngl.
But garbage barbarians kill at Torm 16 with four players by himself… what’s the point if it takes forever
so sad - wd has since ever - not a rly good speed farm build// compared with the other classes
maxroll newbies dont even know what WD build is actually S tier
will definitly nerfed i think this is waaaaaaay to stong. if they dont nerf it ppl will run 150s day one for sure
seems to be a extremely slow killing build.. boring build.
Not for me, I don't like it
Without that bug at the end it would have taken you alot longer no? Looks like an A tier build to me.
como assim boss? one hit!
novo poder de anjo do piranhado crocodilo ,crocodilllll powerrrrr !!!!!
yea..na lol this is too much for someone who plays 1-2 days for each season lol
Too slow, other builds look more fun imo
BUGadile
Sounds too complicated.. reminds me of Algebra class.. I should stop looking forward to PTR changes.. As they eventually lead to nerfs. Remember that StarPact Wizard build?

Here you can see that the wd is crap. look what monks and dhs and necros are doing, even barbs and crusis do better.
This needs a nerf, but hopefully still on a useful lvl, I want to play with crocs next season :D
Too complicate no thx
Too complicate and not fun... I don't like me too.
Someone seems lazy, even though the biggest problem for me is how much of a glass cannon this build is
Lolwat
i dont agreee
Gimmicky and corny.
Click bait. Bad baby information.
