Maximizing DPS Potential with Phalanx-Stampede

now that my pony setup is RIP and it doesn't really matter, here's how I approach the pony setup in grifts for those of you who were curious about my timing with pony setup.

Despite what the masses use, Gogok is not the best choice of gem for this build imo. I personally use both banes + pain when I run this inside grifts. 35% damage during entire rift beats out a small APS buff when pain enhancer already provides extreme APS buffs with proper positioning, if you time properly you will also have 35% buff majority of the RG fight and 15% the rest which also beat out 15% AIS (only like .8 APS).

Positioning is key and it's very important to keep enemies within 20 yards when you are in combat to take full advantage of pain enhancer's buffs which are much stronger than gogok's 15% APS. You do not need the CDR bonuses if you maintain 56, you also do not need to run long arm if you manage your wrath properly and gear properly. The fear rune on provoke is absolutely the best if you learn to control the range and use of it.

This is a very skillful build to play if you are trying to maximize it's DPS potential, simply spamming the skill off-screen into masses of mobs is not optimal play-style if you are trying to achieve good timing and maximum DPS potential.

hmm, i agree with most of it, but isnt it a fact that the 15% cdr from gogok allow you to free up at the very least one cdr slot on the jewelery? so gogok basically provides 15% ias plus 6cc or 50cd. that's probably still less than the 15-35% of the elite gem, but i think the comparison isnt that one-sided...
