Pots

[Akish]

Hi Kruf and the fellow community of hunters. Was wondering is you prefer to use Potion of Speed or Wild Magic pots. I prefer to use Speed but I've heard some people say to pre pot Speed to get in more shots for increased 2pc proc and to use Wild Magic during BL.

Also, can anyone confirm/deny that crit % affects SerpSting dmg

Depends on how long the fight is, with everything dying ridiculously fast it's kind of hard to get that in-fight speed potion used optimally so wild magic would probably make sense, from pure theorycrafting standpoint speed is still better if you can use it optimally though. Although mana potion trumps both of them if the fight is long enough to potentially OOM you and force switching to Aspect of the Viper.

With 2T9 setbonus, yes, since it makes Serpent Sting crit. Without obviously no, since the ability cannot crit normally.
