also, Im wondering is there any other skill to use then Confusion with the +dmg rune?
I'd use the horrify +% run speed rune if it wasnt that it doesn't overrun the 25%run speed cap...

Stalker is really for people who can't afford Lacuni Prowler's.
I don't think Hex is all that great, especially with the raw damage rune because it's only affecting one target a time.
Gargauntaun is probably a good place to start, and with Grave Injustice it's pretty much a ~30 second CD 3 second stun that provides a lot of independent damage.

Jaydo, are you sure it's a 20% damage bonus additively to the default 10% damage bonus? The way it is written I always thought it was just a flat 20% damage increase isntead of 10%.

you might be right,but im sure runes stack on the original skill , :blush:

Ive also been testing ' RUSH OF ESSENCE" passive vs VQ on my bears build. Seams to me ,a better mana regen , and i doent have to stop bears ,only to drop skills. Since most of us use 3 spirit skills. this might work better for the wd's using the gru feast/grave injustice combo and having to use a mana return skill, so basicly it will give you a few more bears cycles , to finish the job!

so walk up to mob/ elite pop mass con/horrify start spamin bears for a few cycles pop spirit walk/ soul harvest/dmg rune , and continue to spam bears, with grave/grusume- your buff and cool downs/mama should be good for next pack.With ne mana regen on items , should replace the need for your off skills in fight

* if ne one tests this , lmk how it works for you

Can i get some help please? I got 50m liquid to work with right now and am looking into upgrading my wd.

Here is my profile: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/shootudead-1857/hero/4621882

edit: would really like to make good investments into gear as well rather than buying meh gear that will lose its value. Do you guys think my best bet is to keep saving until I can get gg Zuni pieces (low-mid tier Zuni will drop in price as more are found whereas high end pieces will better retain their value). Or perhaps spend the money getting some unid Zun pieces to gamble there and even if I get meh rolls, it should be a good upgrade on the overall. Looking for advice :)

THANKS

Top notch Zuni pieces would be the way to go if you want gear that won't lose value. Or a top notch ilvl 63 mojo.

It's just a bit offsetting from the wording being so similar:
"and take 10% additional damage."
"Hexed targets take 20% additional damage."

Regardless, it's only one potential CC and increased damage target at a time, while Mass Confusion lasts much more longer and is much more effective. The only trade off is CD duration, but with Grave Injustice that's not much a problem.
If you can't afford Lacuni Prowler's or something to get closer to the 25% cap, I'd say Horrify: Stalker is your best bet for CC.

Edit: I think Spiritual Attunement is better as a Mana passive than Vision Quest, but I can't comment on Rush of Essence as I haven't tried it. I really like GI/GF/SV, though.

Is it better to try getting all the set bonuses from the two sets for a WD or is it better to get a the Zunimassa set minus the mojo and get a Thing of the Deep or Ukpahian Serpent. I want to get something I know will help me deal lots of damage in the long term. I don't have much money now but still.
