Exactly Cmo, I will be using everything on that list but Mass Confusion in my team in season 3. The big thing to remember from that list is all of those bonuses stack from multiple WD's with the exception of BBV. Also in 2.2, there is now the 15% damage from all sources rune for Zombie Dogs, which also stacks with multiple WD's.
Have u guys found a party damage calculator? That would be AWESOME for us multiboxers cause it's really hard to find what's best in terms of PARTY DPS. Sure, we can always follow a rule of thumb of adding more damage buffs and debuffs but that may not always be the best for the party in terms that we might get more party damage overall by using certain buff instead of certain debuff. Gems, skills, items, etc. Would be amazing to have a calculator that considers all classes buffs, debuffs, items, gems, etc. so it's a lot easier to decide what gives us more party damage.

I doubt there are any, unfortunately. Even single-player tools are scarce and I never heard of d3planner before as well.Originally Posted by Devile
I had idea of writing genetic algorithm for D3 that'll find most efficient build ever for a class, but never had chance to get past preparational stage due to lack of time (and interest, honestly).
On other hand, I might look into it. Having open source project that can help theory-crafting would be good to have for sure.

Yea I don't know of any. D3 planner is something I just recently found and I think it is rather new. How it currently looks is different from just a week or so ago when I first found it, so I think the author is still improving it.
Writing something that could take all the variables in to question would be pretty complicated I would imagine. Even character sheet stats like D3 planner gives you isn't an accurate representation of how a build will perform. You need to do actual testing and such.
Agreed. The temporal aspect is the hardest to understand as there are so many stacking variables, not the least of which is your keyboard inputs.

Interesting.
On my zDPS, I might want to give up Mass Confusion for this, because I can't have the 20% debuff from Mass Confusion up 100% of the time (so 15% all the time is better), and also, as stated elsewhere, the character can't cast Mass Confusion while moving. He stops for maybe half a second, and then resumes moving, which is an annoyance in terms of multiboxing.
Indeed and since my build is using Homonculus anyway it is easy to include the cold Zdogs to get the 15% buff. I feel it is better than mas confusion myself. Extra pets doing some minor extra damage but the buff they add is the real reason to use them.
Yelgis have you tried this build out at the PTR an if so how high did you reach at Greater rifts?
Uses some of the ideas here and does pretty good solo. Imagine with a group.
Looks like it'd be possible to get REALLY high with quad doc setup, the only problem is that it will be very mob type dependent. If you get exarcs you'll get wrecked if horrify doesn't stop them mid charge.
