Arcanist BG Lead Pull Build

Hey folks.

I was asked to run a BG in cyro, so I agreed as I like to develop myself as a player.
I tried to lead on a DK, but I ain't used to DK and decided to stick back to my Arc. Been playing this class since release and really enjoy the survivability of it.

So any good ideas about builds for leading the group?
I tried the arcanist pull (rune of displacement), but didn't archived good results and slotted rush of agony again. This pull works much better and slaps hard with the ult.

So any good ideas what sets to run besides the VD or PB?
Or any ideas about pull skills that work better than the arcanists pull, so I can probably swap out the pull set again?

Do you know which skills proc the pull very good?
I tried the silver leash, but there are probably other good options too.

I was thinking about changing balorgh to colovian highlands general, so the group could benefit from it.
What you think about this?

Thank you in advance.

    You won't be swapping out Rush of Agony for any skills simply because it's the best pull in the game, and it's not even close. Rush doesn't apply CC immunity, so it is simply better than every other pull skill, set, or effect in the game.

    VD with ROA, like every other bomber does. If you are talking about the Pull needed to activate ROA, Runic Jolt should work as it inflicts direct damage.

    I'm guessing Displacement did not work because it pulls, which would give the target CC immunity, which would override the subsequent ROA pull. And a 2 second delay plus another 0.8 second delay isn't helpful.

    Thanks you, folks. I will stick to RoA then.

    I also figured out I achieved good results with the 2h teleporting strike.

    Yep, this is one of the primary triggers used on a Brawler build. I don't bomb, so I assume they use a trigger that isn't as telegraphed
