Diablo – the best Witch Doctor build against vampiric bosses

diablo-3diablo-3-witch-doctor

My level 36 Witch Doctor is relatively effective against big groups of monsters, but I have problems defeating some vampiric bosses. The problem is made worse by the gargantuan which is delivering life to the vampiric bosses.

If I play with zombie-dogs I have absolutely no chance to defeat the boss.

  • What is lowering the impact of vampiric monsters?
  • What weapons/armor do you recommend?

You need a better weapon. All of your summons' (Zombie dogs, Gargantuan, etc.) damage is based off of your weapon damage. Better weapon means they do more damage, and they should be able to counteract the vampire.

If the boss ALSO has Desecrator, Plagued or Molten, you're in for some fun. The damage from these patches also heal it. Try to keep your pets out of them, and most especially, keep yourself out of them, too, even if you don't notice yourself losing health. Quite often, you will be standing on several patches (especially Plagued), and each one will heal it.
