Diablo 3 - GR36

Managed to complete GR36 yesterday. Current rank at this point in writing is #246 for solo Witch Doctor (Non-season).

Some notes:
- Hexing pants damage output is significant, but the stutter stepping gameplay makes it harder to maintain sycos. Not to mention, GR36 seems to be the point where the sycos start to die frequently. I could probably drop Witching Hour for String of Ears, but it seems too much of a DPS loss. Will try tonight and see how it goes. My right hand is definitely going to get carpal tunnel.


- Fierce Loyalty is definitely better than Shukrani, but it takes up a passive. Wonder if the movespeed is important now, since the sycos are dying left and right. Zombie Handler seems better, same dog DPS, higher hp for pets. Better to be alive than move faster?

- Or I can simply go back to my Fire no syco build and use Gary. Risky for GRs though, if i screw up my cooldowns.

- Might need to take out pain enhancer for bane of the powerful.  Can't quite feel PE's effect anymore, while BOTP is consistently good for elite fights. Maybe I should turn on the damage numbers for normal hits, just to see how much PE is ticking for.

- Need to give my templar the Wyrdward. Apparently it procs from the normal attack of the templar, if you use a Thunderfury.

- Oh and I need to equip Kulle-Aid too. Wallers are super irritating when SW is on CD.

- I need moar passives. WHY U NO ROLL PROPERLY HELLFIRE AMULET??

- Played the whole night, and I couldn't level even once. This is how slow and grindy GRs are.

- I used the DH to farm 10 GR keys, and started to run those that are 36 and above. Quite a silly system as I've said before, but this saves a lot of time, and reduces a lot of the RNG involved. Need to beef up my DH so that my WD can progress? LOL.

- The mats from GR is pitiful. I need some veiled crystals to roll my Hexing Pants. And to get a set of Aughilds with Fetish Army affix instead.

36 levels to go.
