Remove fizzle, it's pointless

Hi, Honestly I think fizzle should be removed, it decreases our chances of hitting, we either fiizzle, miss or hit. Which is pretty unfair as all the other classes either hit or miss. Also our accuracy is really bad, not mention our health is also quite bad. We should get better accuracy, and better health. Same for our witchdoctor companions, they also need better range to compete with other classes companions. I want to use my witch companions more. Our health cannot make up as our witch companions have decent damage unlike swashbuckler over 400+ when max lvl. Thanks for hearing me out, please spread this message around as well. I hope Kingsisle do something about this.

Witchdoctor's don't need to worry about fizzleling because they got so many powers.

Actually, I think it works like this:

The attack either Hits or Misses. If you miss, one of 2 animations are played. The block animation or the dodge animation. For witchdoctors, the block animation is the fizzle animation. I am not sure about this, but that is what I have always believed.

As for the second part of this, yes, witchdoctors do need a buff, at least PvP-wise.

Hello Piratingboy,

Fizzle for wWtchdoctor is equivalent to other class misses.

You might find that confusing because instead of fizzling sometimes it says that our attack is blocked or dodged.

It is all the same, fizzle, blocked, dodged, is one same thing.

So to sum up, all classes can either hit or miss depending of their acc and opponents dodge ratio.

Sincerely,

A fizzle is your miss, just as a swashbuckler can miss a first strike, a buck a vengeance strike, privy a repel boarders, and musketeer a quick draw. As with any talent attack you're pitting your accuracy or will against the opponent's armor or dodge; and if they make that save, then you fizzle.

Totally agree with you. I remember those good ol' days, there wasn't a fizzle in sight.

Also, they should give our fellow witch companions guaranteed critical strikes. It isn't fair as only witch companions don't have guaranteed strikes. And some of our witchdoctor companions (Mormo, Carcarius etc) should have the capability to learn mojo rising. Why can't they learn mojo rising? While other classes can learn double tap, bladestorm... This is seriously putting our companions down. Thanks

They cant learn mojo rising because they have Improved Mojo Blast.

Look at Inoshishi Necromancer, he cant learn IMB, but he has mojo rising.

I know how difficult to win in PvP as a Witchdoctor, unlike the other class witch is based on skills( expect that's another time to explain ) . This class is based on luck, in my opinon.

Furthermore, beside storng will as a witchdoctor try to find some health,dodge and acuracy boosting gears. Also try to equip some gears that grants healing to the party.
May I recommend using at least one or companion ( or one of each ) to fight beside your witchdoctor character(s). companions can use frist stirke, relentless and reposite. companions can use vegence stirke, blade strom and relentless/flanking.

You're missing the point here, our companions fizzle way too much and their accuracy really brings them down

I have tried using the juju extra epics doubloons, it gave my Carcarius, Mormo mojo rising. It worked perfectly and it's not op, it just attacks one random opponent at sight. They can't count on mojo echo all the time you know.

I know, I'm not disagreeing with you. Thing is, from KI's point of view, IMB can hit 9 targets at once, it's far better than mojo rising.

Ratbeard explained it once I believe.
