I am just wondering if it is possible to use all pets as a witch doctor and still do a ton of damage? I right now have all 5 dogs and a ring or Cube Power that lets me have 3 Gargantuan and gear that lets me have a Spider queen out at all times. I feel like I am killing things very easily on torment 9 but not sure what else to do to raise my damage. Is it possible to use all pets or do I have to learn to use other spells and get rid of some of the pets?

Can’t see your profile as you not giving us much info to help you.
I clicked on your profile button but nothing in America or Europe for you.
Spider is rubbish. Use sycophants and/or fetish army with gargs and dogs. Tasker & Theo gloves, Jeram helm and Enforcer gem with HT 5 piece… Win. Oh. And Endless Walk set.
You just wander around dealing with clickables while an army of pets flattens things.

I play on Nintendo switch so it is kinda hard to show my gear sadly. I can try to post my spells and an idea of my gear but I was really just asking if there is a viable pet build with Witch Doctor?
there is a build for Zuni Garg and Helltooth Garg that deal alot damage; there is also a Zuni Fetish dart build that is really strong and able to push leaderboards. Also I think Spirit Barrage is also counted as a pet build as well because it requires Mask of Jeram.
Spirit Barrage and Zuni Fetish Darts aare the only two viable WD pet builds i think right now as Gargs do not do enough damage to compare to these builds (Spirit Barrage is LoN btw)
Fetishes, Gargantuans, and Zombie dogs are the true pets and benefit from all pet buffs. I think the spider is considered a creature spell and doesn’t get pet buffs but I’m not 100% sure on that. I am sure it doesn’t do any real damage. Phantasm is not a true pet but it still benefits from pet buffs due to a “bug” the developers intentionally didn’t fix.
You can use all the pets in an LoN build with the season buff. Anthony Evans has a guide. Diablo 3 S17 WD LoN CarnEvil Pet Walker T16 / GR Speeds 2.6.5 - YouTube

Not much of an advice here but all I can say is soul harvest is a must. It doesn’t matter what build you use. When you reach high level GR, soul harvest is the only defensive skill for WD to reduce damage (plus damage reduce from the set items that you’re wearing). This is why this game pisses me off so much because it limits the player so much with the items and skill combination that they can use. All other skills and sets are supposed to be so much fun until you realize you can’t even survive an arrow from a skeleton without using that same skill.
