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