in terms of AOE damage... humonganoid does 130% AOE cleave every swing. Big stinker does 15% AOE. Since Bad Medicine passive doesnt work, i just dont understand any reason to use him.
Big stinker also has the highest proc rate for any %chance to gears u hv on u. I use it on my "freeze build" and i do see mobs getting frozen by my garg (when i stand still doin nuthin)
Afaik most ppl use Humangoid when they are using just garg as pet (no zdog) as the cleave makes the garg aggro more mobs (less on u). On my bear build i personally prefer Bruiser as the stun helps me to land more hits using bears on the stunned mob (tough elites/wardens)
Wasnt proc rate reduced to 0? same as for dogs. I don't think it can proc anymore.
My bad.. the freeze came from my zdog/rabid actually ... just did a couple test run with zdog using another rune (just Big Stinker on Garg) and no freeze proc.
Double checked with ZzEzZ proc coefficient table: https://docs.google....ZJcHdkN0E#gid=3
Confirmed that 0 proc rate on garg/big stinker .. sry for the confusion.
But zdog still can proc with rabid @ burning dog rune.. tested n also can check in ZzEzZ proc coeff table in link above.
I recall seeing a post on some random ass site, of which the poster did a bunch of tests with most of the WD skills in regards to which benefit from LoH as opposed to life conversion, and a percentage for how much LoH you truly received from those skills which utilized it... I don't know how accurate the readings were, or if they still apply... But burning dogs and big stinker both proc'd 100% LoH, per target hit... So 4 pets with a passive AoE that each proc your LoH per pet, per tick, per per target... In other words... They are massive leech beasts stacking you with HP... Also good for bosses and elites... There was speculation that that was merely a glitch and only a handful of people could do it...
I also use restless giant... He stays alive longer for me... Especially against elites and bosses... Just a side note ;-)
is there any?
