Diablo 3 Area Dmg And Dots
Mar 12, 2014 Area damage numbers don't always match the math Occasionally you might see something like a 3,000,000 crit followed by something like 1,650,000 area damage. If you are running 50% AD like in most of my tests, this is a bit confusing. I've figured it out though. The AD number shown is the sum of all area damage procs from that spell. For Diablo III on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Does Gem of efficacious toxin proc off dot damage?'

Jade Harvester is currently the most poerful With Doctor build. If you take into consideration Diablo 3's standards, it's not inaccurate to say it's the hardest to master build in the entire game, but it rewards you with outstanding performance. Jade Harvester Witch Doctor build has a solo GR capability of Tier 120 and above. This makes this set worth taking into consideration in the ongoing Season.

General information
The entire build is based on the Raiment of the Jade Harvester set which provides the following bonuses:
Diablo 3 Area Dmg And Dots 2
- When Haunt lands on an enemy already affected by Haunt, it instantly deals 3500 seconds worth of Haunt damage (2/6)
- Soul Harvest gains the effect of every rune and reduces the cooldown of Soul Harvest by 1 second when casting Haunt or Locust Swarm (4/6)
- Soul Harvest consumes up to 10000 seconds of the damage over time effects on all affected targets, instantly dealing the remaining damage of the consumed duration, and reduces all damage taken by 50% for 12 seconds (6/6)
Jade Harvester Witch Doctor is one of the most complex builds in Diablo 3. It is based on damage over time effects, which have to be applied to enemies before they are harvested with the Soul Harvest spell. While wearing Jade Harvester set, any monster harvested this way has the DoT (damage over time) effects consumed, and the damage is applied instantly. This combination provides for one of the highest burst damage source in Diablo 3. Jade Harvester playstyle requires you to stay in melee range to monsters and keep track of the active debuffs they have (to benefit from the Ring of Emptiness, both your dot spells have to be applied before harvesting them). In general, this is difficult build that requires more experience than pretty much any other build out there, but provides amazing damage and allows reaching Greater Rifts tier 120 and above.
