I am coming off of playing a pet spec, and am trying to make a solo spec so I can farm for my SMK so I can go back to being pet spec, like the title implies I feel I might be using the spec wrong, mainly because I cant seem to get into a group of mobs and harvest without nearly being killed.
I am sitting at 942k Damage, and 4.4M Toughness
Ive been running T4-T5
Using Quetz for my head, and Rogar's Huge Stone as one of my rings
Using Rhen'Ho's, and TotD, for MH/OH
RorG to complete the Jade Set of which I have the Shoulders, Chest, Gloves, Pants, and Boots,
Hoping someone on here can help me solve this dilemma, or maybe I just need to play more carefully now.
I put on one of my furnaces, rolled its old soc to 1100 vit and gifted a new one. Life went up by a lot, I don't die as often and my damage is pretty nice.
If you are feeling squishy you might just need more vit. I have 950 more then you just from looking at diablo's profile 'gear set bonus' area.
Also you use voodoo while I stayed with horrify because it will fear lock enemies for a couple sec. With my poor cdr its always up when I need it.
No, you can easily gear Jade to be as durable as any other spec. As a 'visual' example, here is my own Jade doc (Hardcore). Might not be as powerful as yours (though, according to sheet dps, I actually have more...), but easily twice as tough. Easily do T3 and can probably go even higher, but am scared of dying.
Anyway, you should decide, whether you play pet doctor or jade. As jade mostly benefits from +%cold damage. +%physical damage seems to be rather useless for this build. Also, since Jade is all about DoTs, attack speed only affects your cast animation. It doesn't affect actual damage output. Increased attack speed merely inflates sheet dps, so, for Jade build you should at very least consider a different belt. Hwoj Wrap might be a good choice since locust will slow down the enemies that survive the initial harvest to a crawl and you can recharge you skills much more peacefully as you will easily outrun everything that can't teleport.
As for legendary gems... Wreath of Lightning is a rather strange choice as you are either nuking everything around you for 100 or more times damage gem does or you've already killed everything on the screen and there is nothing for gem to attack, thus being reduced to utility of 3 seconds of increased movement speed...
I think that for Jade Bane of Powerful would be much better since it will essentially be permanent 20% increased damage. Godok of Swiftness might be good too as a way to reduce your cooldowns even more (and, thus, use Harvest more often).
