Best imbuements on a Soulhexer for a Druid 700+ team hunting at rotten wastelands?

Question

Hello. Because of changes with holy chains is harder to stay alive without mana shield on Rotten Wastelands. Is it better to get in soulhexer crit and hp leech imbuing instead of crit and mana leech? Is it worth it?

Comments

Could you please add the Druid level range and if you are thinking about a Team Hunt or Solo Hunt? That would make your question better and easier to answer :)

I mean about 700+ range in team hunt of course. Think so if there is no impossible to hunt solo because of roots.

Awesome, but I needed a confirmation. It is always good to specify questions due to indexation factors on search engines :) I've made some edits and hopefully it will help. Try to follow the pattern that I've applied to your question. I also modified some tags as well!

Answer 1

Are you going team hunt with 1 or 2 druids?

As an ED who used to hunt there a lot, if you are the only druid I would go with mana instead of life leech, given that you will be spamming sio and that consumes a lot of mana.

If you still want to use a life leech imbu, maybe a good choice would be to imbu a bear skin, or an elven mail (in this case you can also imbu holy defence to help you with the chains damage).

If you are going with 2 druids, maybe you can try life leech on the rod. However, in that case I would use a cobra rod with crit and mana due to the life leech amount of the cobra rod. Despite Soulhexer is currently the BIS rod, I believe it is only better than the cobra rod if you were hunting Dark Thais or Ebb and Flow, because of the ice protection.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

On soulhexer you only have 2 possible combinations:

OPTION 1 - Critical + Mana
OPTION 2 - Critical + Magic Level

In my opinion this are the best possible combinations as druid u can have.
Lets talk about what is better, 

In numbers, Option 2 its better, u have good diference between mana leech and extra magic lvl (4 lvls its a lot).
I have been trying for 3 weeks aprox and you will get some extra damage (not insane diference)

However, Option 1 is THE BEST OPTION U CAN TAKE
Its true that with option 2 you will get some more damage but u will have to spam manas like crazy, making your playing less confortable and make big diferent waste, between option 1 and 2.

Conclusions:

OPTION 1: More damage but u will sacrify little your confort, and u will increase your waste. 
OPTION 2: More Confortable and less waste, diference its not that big - RECOMENDED


I hope  i helped you,
