Witch Doctors in Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt DLC

[yuzu]

Wow,these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are the worst enemies i've encountered. (beside rabid stalkers,those are pretty annoying too)
I coudnt headshot because of their masks,they survive multiple DIRECT HITS FROM UNKEPT HAROLD,for some reason can take me down really fast,and levels up and gain all their health without warning or something.

So,how do you guys kill these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?

Best strategy I think is when you enter an area, look for them first. Kill them first, dont worry about the other enemies. Not only are they difficult to kill, but they also level up their friends making them even more diabolical!

Yeah. These <bleepers> really are bad news. They heal and level up any others in their group. My own personal way of dealing with them is from a distance and use the fibber - massive damage. When you find a group of savages, they will often have a Witch Doctor with them. Take him out first. Otherwise you will find that your enemies have mysteriously healed and been levelled up. Not good news.
A siren phaselock will disrupt their attacks / spells, but not for long. A second attempt will usually do nothing. I speak from experience here. :(

Rabid skags and stalkers are just very aggressive. PITA yes, but witchdoctors are just bad news all round. Especially when you find one of the savages attacking you is 6 levels higher than you are all of a sudden. :(

The vampire one is the worst, I had one turn into a colony of bats (yep, I looked it up, the collective noun for bats is 'colony' lol) and the bats wouldnt de-morph back into the witch doctor. I emptied all my magazines at them but they just wouldnt frickin die!!!!

if u wanna kill a witch doctor and ure an assasin then use deception,get behind them.and shoot the back of the head thats a crit spot ,mask wont protect that.And kill these jerks fast, or u might have multiple badasses or ultimate badasses on the field.Sucks on tvhm but kind of an awesome challenge in OP 8.
However the most annoying version is the paralyzing witch doctor.Just slows u the hell down and the other noobs finish u off.In short,when in a fight and u see a witch doctor just run and kill it.Fire is effective on all except a fire resistand witch doctor.Explosives are effective always.
