Diablo 3 Spirit of Arachyr Firebats Witch Doctor Build

Classic caster build. At your disposal is the main damage skill – Firebats, and utility skills that will boost damage or apply CC. It should be remembered that Hex should be used on a cooldown, because it is the main source of damage reduction. Piranhas will help keep monsters in place, and in critical situations, Spirit Walk will provide an opportunity to escape lethal damage. Haunt acts as a damage buff, due to Legendary Power from Ring of Emptiness.
