I am curious what the community could come up with if working together to analyze the numbers to minmax a build. (I understand there are build guides out there, but that is from one person’s point of view.)
I have been having a good time rolling a wolfpack bleed beastmaster. The gameplay has been probably the easiest of any build I have rolled. I am curious what people think the optimal gear/affixes would be.
I haven’t been gearing for my character to deal much damage, but rather buff my wolves. I have built defenses in the way of armour, health, regen. I have random resists here and there, but haven’t been focusing on them.
I use 3 uniques currently. The Fang, Artor’s Legacy, and Ribbons of Blood. These get me to 6 wolves. I wonder if a rare Oracle Amulet could be better. That would mean speccing into max wolves on the summon wolf tree and that could take a chunk out of dps.
It would be very interesting to see what people think about specific affixes and item types. I use an Imperial Greatsword because of the implicit increased minion damage. Same for Darkwolf Pelt and Shamanic Garb.

Would any of the uniques be better as a rare?
For Idols, I go for minion bleed. “Gouging Adorned Heorot Idol of Laceration” is my target.
