Hail Aahzmadius,
I can finally talk about Witch Doctors, having just got a hardcore one to 60. Like you, I've been trying out different builds. I really enjoyed Rain of Toads & Acid Rain build, especially with life on hit. But once I got the hang of Zombie Bears I have a hard time getting away from it. At first it was awkward and dangerous in hardcore, having to run up close to mobs to do damage, but I played a bit smarter and got the hang of it. The damage output of bears is just insane, it melts champ packs while I feel like Acid/Toads whittle them away.
I spent some hours of today farming A1 MP0 and was able to get some DPS upgrades, but still feel like my vit/res is too low to tackle Act 3. Trying to figure out what to upgrade as anything I see on the AH is way above my budget. Thinking I'll stick to the high firepower bears build and continue doing A1 MP0 runs (thanks to Grave Injustice I can use Spirit Walk all the time!). The Wells of Souls build does look interesting, but I'll probably try it down the line if I can make it to ubers
Keep us updated on how your WD is doing.
