AA setup, I want some critique

[Centri]

I was thinking about going for as much debuffs as possible without making myself a [Removed for Content] <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> So I came up with: Str 4-4-4-5-1 Sta 4-4-2 Int 4-4-4-2 What do you think? Spread too much? <div></div>

Yes, spread too much.If you're going to go debuff, take either Virulence or the timer thing to 8.<div></div>

The achievement debuffs are not spells we maintain, they are proc buffs placed on our pet which only need to be cast after the pet is resummoned.<div></div>

<div></div>I would have to concur, thats a pretty big spread.Maxing either the sta or int proc debuffs and then maxing aura of warding will give you much more bang for your buck. I recommend that you talk with the other shaman in your guild, as it is good to have a spread on both of them (infective bites AND virulence) on raid mobs...My current spec maxing aura of warding, and maxing infective bites (16 percent increase to mobs cast/recast whenever dog hits it, lasts 20s... so basically always up):<b>Prophet's Strength</b><b>4/8</b><span></span> Leg Bite4/8<div align="left">Aura of Haste4/8Aura of Warding8/8</div><div align="left"><i>Spiritual Foresight</i>1/1</div><i></i><div align="left"><i></i></div><b>Witchdoctor's Stamina</b><b>4/8</b><div align="left">Crippling Bash4/8</div><div align="left">Infective Bites8/8</div><div align="left">Herbal Expertise5/8</div><div align="left"><i>Coagulate</i>0/1</div>The 5 points in herbal expertise is nice in the MT group for nailing those fast cures (cast at .6 or .5 depending on group setup). If you didn't like it, you could always throw another 4 points into aura of haste for a total of 16 percent haste for your group (largely unnecessary for me as I'm in the MT group).Some other common approaches include virulence to level 8, as bandit said, or maybe even down the wisdom line, for ritualistic agression (the pet proc, maxed is a 24% chance to proc like a... 4-600 DD iirc). This slightly improves your DPS in both raids and groups (somewhere around +150ish dps on raid mobs, assuming around that on heroics, give or take of course). Also, wisdom line gives you ritual, which is a small boost to your healing capability (it particularly shines with group heals IMO). But I prefer the debuffs myself.<div></div>
