The zombie wall is such a massively awesome skill and adding horrify and hex is your backups to creeps who get too close.

You must have spirit walk, a 3 min cooldown makes your life in inferno so much easier.

I completely ignored HP and all res, but there is on the diablo forums a tanky build for WDs now, but it dont have lots of gold to rebuild my guy and I'm playing a barbarian now.

The key is just get solid rings, weap and offhand, get yourself decent HP 15k-20k and your damage up to 30k and you should be farming act 1 pretty easy.

This is probably the best farming route once you are taking down butcher and not dying in act 1, there are a bunch of varied versions of this so this is just a rough guide.



If you post your gear I can comment on your stuff, but try out this build, its very effective.

Res all is nice, but really your main concern in act 1 is to get it down to farm mode, so just focus on intelligence.

For the other stats priority for me was always crit>vit>all res.

But I havent been playing him since the new patch so not sure what others would say about the order of priority for the stats.

I mean I pretty much just wear my magic resist gear all the time, its 10k lower dps than I had with my full gear, so it wasnt a big deal.
Thanks for the tips, Thor. I'm going to play a bit before I post my gear because it's really poor. The funny thing is that according to your suggestion I should have about 15k HP and 30k damage but for my guy those numbers are reversed. It seems that I've inadvertently been gearing myself for a tank type build.

I'm going to try your build out and play with that for a bit but keep my current gear and try and make one of those tank type guys because they look pretty fun.
