Feedback on gear setup for stamsorc

witchdoctor

First, thanks in advance for your time.

I have a stamsorc that I enjoy playing, but she is not my main. She is principally my crafter, but she also does normal coffer runs and vet and normal dungeons.

Presently, she has 5x TFS (body and jewels), 2x Veli and the rest Hundings'.

I am thinking of changing it to: 5x Automaton (jewels and DW weapons [both swords, presently]), Hundings' and either 2x Veli or 2x Selene's. (Again, this toon can get away with running selfish sets).

Specific questions are:

1. Would Selene's be a good choice, as the proc is physical damage?
2. I have 5x Automaton now, with swords, but could get body pieces. Is this setup better if use 5x body pieces (with jewels)?
3. Do I understand correctly that Automaton is a good set for stamsorcs, but not for other stam builds, because a stamsorc's principal damage source is physical? As opposed to a lot of poison from stamDKs?

Again, thank you!

1. Selene's is good but Velidreth is better. Personally I run Stormfist though, makes the sustain easy and the DPS isn't far behind Veli. Dummy parses are one thing but when you have to dodgeroll/block in actual content I like slightly higher stam regen.
2. Automaton is fine with 2 swords (dagger are better obviously), the main point is that TFS must never fall off so it has to be just on jewellery and body.
3. Correct, StamSorcs are basically the only class who can achieve higher DPS with Automaton over Hundings.
