Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

Is there a limit on amount of pets able to hit one mob? I'm using poison garg, poison dog (with the ring that combines it into 1 big dog), and fetish sycophants passive. Waaay too much of the time I see the dog (and sometimes the garg) standing idly next to me, especially when fighting a single elite / rift boss. Occasionally, he'll go up and swing once or twice, then return to my side. Sure I've got a shit ton of Fetishes whacking away, but my dog is doing 15 mil crits whereas the garg and sycophants are around 2 mil, so it's quite a bit of missing DPS.

Yeah there's definitely a collision-based limit on the the number of mobs that can surround and melee a target. It's one of the (MANY) reasons wrathgarg is so terrible... he looks like he should be able to hit mobs from afar but in fact he needs to be right next to them, and if theres a dog or fetish in the way he sits there holding his dick or he fucks off to clobber some white mob.

Also you want to use the burning dogs rune with big dog... the aoe fire aura MASSIVE now... mine hits for 20-21m. Been considering stacking +fire and going full on firedoc just for the bigdog. Bigdog takes up slightly more melee space than a couple regular dogs (about the same space as the garg) but he's worth it. Definitely less tank tho. I've been toying with going with just biddog+garg until they fix the zuni+fs overwrite issue.

EDIT: I actually made a video for a guildie yesterday to show how firewalkers works out with hexingpants(doing stutterstep with frogs for hexing pants). I cant make or edit videos so it sucks and trying to get a good showing for the firewalker dot gets me killed at the end but you can see the dog damage with just +20% fire here: (Pardon the video quality, I dont fraps very often and edit videos even less)

Yeah you want all 3 passives for 6 max dogs (barely worth it with 5)... since that video I've actually built a set with +43% dog damage and +45% fire and bigdog is critting elites for 230m max now with a meh witching hour.

The single target crits are great eye candy but the workhorse is the burning dog rune aoe... it crits for 25-30m now and ticks very quickly so in large packs it actually hits almost as hard as zuni fetishes.

Also tested it with leeching beasts rune and yes it DOES scale.... without stacking more loh than i normally do (about 8k) each bigdog hits heals for 70-90k hp.

what gear are you using, my setup is 2mill dps with those hexing pants, but im not running what you are, my build is in the link under.

Nothing particularly good, actually about the same as urs except I dont use my zunis (bthornes boots and bp, serpent offhand). I dont use my kukri either, haven't used it in a while since I never slot BBV. I got a good 2475 flayer and running exploding frogs with that.

The thing with hexing pants is the playstyle tho... i was playing with a penny stuck on my numpad0 key for forcemove for a while to get used to stutter-stepping

Ya i meant when I first started with the hexing pants a couple weeks ago. I've been using a toggle switch on my mouse for forcemove actually, pretty useful when using the pants on my wiz.

Got invited to Down2Rape by one of you who got Deathwinged, what the hell? I'm flying solo bros

yah i didnt like stutter stepping so i took Jbooe or something some twitch players build i linked it a few pages back, he just runs around with the zuni set letting garg, dog and fettishes kill everything i was able to do t5 reletively easy, didnt try t6 yet.

may give it a shot, till they fix zuni but all i do is litrally run around and mobs melt kinda funny.

RNJesus has been fairly good to me this past weekend. First, on my Wizard, a green set piece DH weapon dropped, with socket, Dex and %6 damage. DPS was 2400+. I rerolled the Damage and got it to over 2600. RNJesus wants me to use my DH but I decided not too and even then RNJesus was happy with me.

Completed the four set bonus for both Tal's and Vyr's. Using Tal's chest/head/source and Vyr's boots/pants/gloves. Rocking about 1.3m damage after Magic Weapon buff and up to 1.4m when Unwavering Will kickes in. Toughness is 5.9m and 7.4 after unwavering will. Tal's meteors are just really great damage and I get all 4 to proc, Disintegrate for Arcane, Black Hole (Blazar) for fire, Familiar for cold and gave my Templar a Fulminator for the Lightning meteor.

Got an upgrade to my SOJ as well with 20% arcane damage.

Also, even though the set sucks, I got 4 more pieces of the Firebirds set to make it five now, gloves/pants/chest/shoulders/source. Can't wait to see what they are going to change the bonus' too as they just suck right now.

No you didn't. I kicked two botters, that's it, and they're still in the guild for some reason.

Because who cares if they bot? Multi ID no longer lags people and game is glorified single player due to no trading.

All this board drama aside in game goes very smooth, you ask if anyone is doing what you want to do/make join game doing just that.

Also Kadala was kind enough to get me my 3rd leapquake set:Tessai - Community - Diablo IIInow if I can just replace my IK level 60 gear with IK level 70.(belt/gloves etc)

I'm one Tal piece away from 4pc Vyr and 4pc Tals at once. Going to piss me off all week until I get my last Tal piece, really want helm or belt (have chest and ammy). Thankfully the ammy rolled 99% critical dmg and also maxed CDR. Hopefully after everything, I should be around 60% CDR for short cool down Archon.

Nice Hate I got my EQ set but I found it tough to do grouped T6, T6 alone with unity is a breeze and I have 0 problems with wrath. What are you trying to do with IK set?

@Death I just thought it was funny and their clan name down2rape. I could care less about clan drama, I left the clan when people started getting emotional and removing people. I just want to slay dem monsters.

@Tuco imma add you tonight, were going to do the damn thing

3 piece IK and 3 piece leapquake, put ancients on 360% weapon dmg as fire or even split damage for the added survivability. Need to do something because my damage is laughable even with leapquake stacked up.

Good to see how many people are actually getting stuff, that's the only way I can be sure that there even is a buff in place this week. My crusader needs the set armor to finish out the holy shotgun build and at this point Id buy the pieces straight from Blizzard if there was the option.

Since the buff went in Ive poured around 16k blood shards into Kadala, ran dozens of bounties and rifts (T3-5), murdered countless rift guardians via RiF and still havent seen a single piece of Crusader set armor. In fact my only two real upgrades since Thursday was a FoTF and an Aughild hat that finally didnt roll shitty. I want to keep playing the game but good lord Ive pissed away dozens of hours with literally nothing to show for it makes it hard to keep grinding away.

Are you using cinder, magefist, soj and all of the fun stuff with EQ? I found it pretty strong with 3pc EQ and all % Fire / Elite.
