Hey all

I've been single boxing hardcore awhile now and finally decided to throw down the gauntlet with the lovely black Friday deals that popped up. I've seen many successful WD teams, but is anyone out there testing your luck in hardcore?

Hardcore is definitely a great challenge to be conquered. Here are my current plans, let me know what you guys think!

Build: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/witch-doctor#WRYdUT!aec!bacYaa

Gear: Prioritize high life, resists, LPS, LoH over dps

Extra precaution is taken by having a huge number of distracting pets (16 total), spirit vessel, spirit walk, and jungle fortitude. The big killer in hardcore is disconnect deaths, which I'm hoping pets + SV + high regen can help while I'm disconnected. I expect to die, which is why I'll probably power through 2-3 clone teams of WDs to 60 at the same time to give me hot backups.

I love challenge, but feel free to call me crazy :)

it'll be tough, but I would also go with a build like that.

Life would be much easier if you did 3WD and a Barb for its defensive party buffs/debuffs, but barbs dont have spirit walk :<

Witch Doctors also have spirit vessel so in case of death you get another chance with 2 seconds of immune and 15% hp. Every 90 seconds, it's pretty strong in hardcore which is why WD's are so popular.
