Stat Priority | Patch 2.1.2
Managing Primary (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Vitality) and Secondary (Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Attack Speed, Weapon Damage, Armor, etc.) stats is critical for maximizing your Witch Doctor. Below are listed the two stat priorities for both max damage and max survivability.
Max DPS
Weapon Damage > Intellect > Crit Chance >= Crit Damage > Attack Speed
Max Survivability
Resists = Armor > Intellect = Vitality
DPS Stats Breakdown
Weapon Damage
Increases the damage dealt by skills. Higher top end weapon damage and a smaller damage range will produce stronger attacks.

Intellect
Multiplies all Witch Doctor damage.
Multiplies all Witch Doctor damage.
Crit Chance
Increases the base chance of obtaining a critical hit. Crit Chance is best stacked with Crit Damage at a ratio of about 1:8. For example, if you have 10% Crit Chance then you should have +80% Crit Damage. As a note, Crit Damage is much easier to obtain than Crit Chance so you may end up with more Crit Damage than is optimal for your amount of Crit Chance.

We are presenting the strongest Pet build in Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls - Witch Doctor with Helltooth Set
Helltooth Gargantuan is the strongest Pet build in Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls. This build may feel a little bit slow - it has nearly no area damage, Witch Doctor has one of the worst movement skill (Spirit Walk without high cooldown reduction is just bad compared to other classes) and sometimes Gargantuan are slow getting close to the target and require to be resummoned. However, Gargantuan's single-target DPS and the pace at which they finish off bosses and hard Elites should compensate for the lack of mobility

General information
The entire build is based on the Helltooth Harness set which provides the following bonuses:
- Enemies hit by Primary skills, Acid Cloud, Firebats, Zombie Charger, Zombie Dogs, Gargantuan, Grasp of the Dead, Piranhas, or Wall of Death are afflicted by Necrosis, becoming Slowed by 60% and taking 1500% damage per tick for 10 seconds (2/6)
- After applying Necrosis to an enemy, the Witch Doctor takes 60% reduced damage for 10 seconds (4/6)
- After casting Wall of Death, gain 4400% increased damage for 15 seconds to all primary skills, Acid Cloud, Firebats, Zombie Charger, Zombie Dogs, Gargantuan, Grasp of the Dead, Piranhas, and Wall of Death (6/6)
Helltooth Gargantuan build is easy to play. Your pets do the job, while all you have to do is cast buffs and defensive spells, and recast Wall of Death once in a while to keep the Helltooth's 6 part bonus up. The tricky part is staying close to monsters, so that you can get all 10 stacks of Soul Harvest and keep them up at all times, and at the same time you have to position yourself in a way that allows you to remain stationary - when not moving the damage buff from the Endless Walk set can reach its' peak.
