Seeing how pvp may be here in the near future. Lets talk about some builds and strategies against other classes. Ill continue to add to this as I get feed back from the community. Lets build us a killer Doctor.

:: Builds ::

Control Doctor

•Skills
1. Primary - Numbing Dart (slow)
2. Secondary - Unbreakable Grasp (slower)
3. Spirit Walk - your choice rune. (safety net)
4. Horrify - Stalker (for the movement speed to reposition yourself.)
5. Wall of Zombies - Unrelenting Grip (more cc)
6. This last skill not sure of could go a few routes
○Pick any damage over time.
○Plain damage skill.
○Pets maybe ?
○Hex to turn them into a chicken that's always fun :)

•Gear
Here you can have many variations of gear selection.
Things to aim for.
○ High mana regen.
○ Reduction of time before recasts of skills.
○ Ability to take a minimum of 3 hits.

•Description.
Basically keep your distance while trapping your target. If they get close pop a horrify and watch them run. In case you get hit with a freeze or stun or whatever then you can use Jaunt. This in my opinion is a straight forward build.



Alright this is going to be a constant work in progress and will continue to update.
I would like to add :
•Strategies against specific class types / builds.
•More builds and more info.
•Make a budget build for pvp cause not everyone has the money or time to be godly in the game.

Thanks for reading and looking forward to your contributions. Oh and if you play a different class feel free to share you weaknesses with us, we will keep it secret you know the whole patient doctor confidentiality thingy ;)

I'm not sure on slow really, every class seems to have a "get out clause".

DH - smoke screen
Barb - leap
Wizz - tele
Monk - serenity ? Dashing strike? Don't play monk.
WD - spirit walk

WD isn't melee so doesn't need a slowed enemy. I think it will more be timing of your nukes like Acid cloud and being able to stun-lock and not sure how well the WD is able to do it. Perhaps a combo of Acid Cloud w/ Acid Rain with it's ridiculous radius will mean the you can just spam it and spirit walk away from their attacks.

You could do some fun things with Horrify & hex, potentially they won't have control of their chars for quite some time while you rain down upon them with Acid Cloud :)

Thats going to be what I try first anyhow :D
