How is witch doctor damage calculated

Very nice, thank you! I'm curious how hard it would be to adapt this to work for a wizard since both are int classes. I pretty much play both the Wizard and Witch Doctor evenly so that would be nice. Quote from pr1mus. Id really like to use this, as im really bad when it comes to figuring out my upgrades. Quote from fr0d0b0ls0n. Quote from verbatim To take this into account, you would need to multiply your damage by this percent.

Multiple such bonuses stack multiplicativly. The value you get will not be what is indicated on your character sheet, but it will reflect the effect of the extra modifiers. This damage is already included in the weapon damage range listed on the weapon. In theory, this spreadsheet should work for other classes, though I have not tested it. The exception is dual wielding monks, barbarions and demonhunters, as I believe there are additional variables that come into play when using two weapons.

I'm sorry but I don't think you understand my question. My question is, have you tested the spreadsheet on a character with gear that I described?

If you have not tested it personally, then I feel you might want to test it first. Witch Doctor. History Talk Old Abilities. Known Bugs. Zharvakko, the Witch Doctor. Lore :.

Blue Wizard is about to die! Red Knight shot the food! Tulki posted So i should not worry about the "damage" as a witchdoctor, just use whatever weapon has the highest damage, then just focus on intelligence and other gear? You want to keep your DPS in mind for any class. For WDs though, bear in mind that a slower weapon with more attack damage will cause most individual skills to hit harder, and that with a very fast weapon, you'll burn through mana more quickly.

If you have a fast weapon and a slow weapon, but both give you the same DPS, I would use the slow one to preserve mana. More topics from this board Can a wizard use swods or axes in Diablo 3?
