    Default 4x WD spec and gear discussion

    I've been messing around a bit more with the WDs to get a "faceroll" type spec. Where I don't need to kite most elite packs, and can just tank, but without the crazy cost of WD tank gear.

    So far I'm pretty certain that we need:
    1. Stun Gear (cc gear)- stuns and interrupts - 4% on each guy is ideal
    2. Freeze Gear (cc gear) - almost the same as stun except it breaks sooner - 4% on each guy
    3. Life on Hit gear (LoH) - to get our hitpoints back as quickly as possible - at least 1k LoH.
    4. Mana Regen Gear - at least 10 on helm, offhand, weapon. This will give you ~50 total. Although one of my guys doesn't have any on his offhand.
    5. Spells that proc the LoH/CC gear - (Not all spells proc it in the same way, e.g. bears hardly procs, but acid cloud procs like mad).
    6. At least 30k health pool, and some level of resist gear - to take the hits and not get one shot. The more the better. All my guys have 32k health now, and I'm trying to get around 300 resist, although some only have like 230ish.


    I've been messing around with this spec:

    • I swap Bad Medicine instead of Jungle Fort on just one guy
    • I am trying 2 Acid Rains and 2 Slow burns
    • [don't use this] I have Big Bad Voodoo Raindance on round robin for 80 seconds of total mana regen. - mana regen only effects the caster.
    • I have Big Bad Voodoo Slam Dance on round robin for 80 seconds of 30% more dps and 20% attack speed to all party members in range.
    • 4x hex is almost always up, which seems pretty helpful - just more cc. (Although I'm still testing this on the elite packs in 3/4/Pony)
    • The Gargantuans die pretty quickly, but they are a decent distraction.
      I'm not sure if Soul Harvest is better, but since we need all the abilities on CD, I'm often not harvesting anything.


    Also, I'm trying Chill (13% total) on shoulders on 3 guys, it's really tough to determine how much a difference this makes, but I get the feeling it's helping. I heard in some random post it resets the swing timer, but I have no idea if it's true. I do know it slows the enemy when it procs, and it's tough to see the proc unless you look hard.

    Anyone else have any tips?
