In patch 2.6.1 Jade finally got the necessary toughness AS WELL AS the important damage boost. Now GR100 is a reality for many players and not just the p3000 ones.
I am pretty surprised noone is talking Jade left and right! Jade had no toughness for the last 5 years and it even though the damage was there for the 100, toughness was the only reason why it was literally unplayable in gr90+ unless you had 3000 paragons. Now it has everything it needs to be superior and i am really happy. It was buffed several ptr's ago, then suddenly it was nerfed into mediocrity, then buffed again but was still insanely squishy and noone played it. Now it's in pure glory. The only thing that literally changed in the build is i safely dropped Unity for COE and this is it! Good to go!

Thanks for your work on this. I'm returning to the game since Season 5 and in all my time playing D3 I had never had the desire to play a Witch Doctor until now. I've been looking all around for as much info to learn and you have the most recent explanation of the items and skills selections and their functioning and synergies that is up to date.

The one thing that I have not found though is a good guide on the mechanics of playing this build in terms of almost a narrative of when you are hitting certain skills and the play style in video form showing examples. I have found that even with the correct gear that the mechanics in the game with the smallest understanding can make a drastic difference in your performance. Usually watching twitch or GR youtube's it is hard to make out when the actions are being performed and also in some cases understand why you timed things certain ways. Any thoughts on this?

Thanx!
I try to show proper sequence of skills in every "complex" video, such as this or, for example, a Fire LeapQuake barb. Also always show a real grift or rift run where anyone can see what i press and when.
A lot of builds lack depth and explanations. A lot of people dislike my videos because they are too lengthy, as i really go in-depth in skill mechanics and interactions. I don't just show what skills or items you should use and then quit, the purpose of my videos is to make you think, analyze and understand why you need this selection of skills, what options you have and how skills and gear interact with each other.

Hi and thanx! Yeah i like playing with wormwood myself. I think it's very easy and the damage output is pretty close as well. Hex is a very good tool for CC

Hi!

Stricken is mandatory to kill rift guardians. Without Stricken you will be killing rift guardian about 5-6 minutes. With stricken = 2-3 minutes.

Have fun!
