Thanks to Breenns for submitting this small Witch Doctor tip on pets scaling beyond Nightmare.For those who think the Witch Doctor pets don't scale well after Nightmare, I'm still using them super effectively in Hell and Inferno. It took some messing with stats.
Pets don't scale with vitality or dex. But they do scale with armor (str), physical resistance, and of course life regen with the right passive.
Shifting away from vitality towards those stats as well as getting an appropriate shield really made them worth while for me in hell.
As for Inferno, I Shifted to Res + Str in Act 1 Inferno and it's going alright...
Gargantuan is tanky enough to keep me alive.
