Several questions about Hive Keepers. Any help appreciated!
1) Do the bleeds stack? i.e If I land a bleed and then land the same bleed again before the first one wears off, will the overall bleed damage stack/increase?
2) The bleeds are percentage of health based, but is that the percentage of max health or how much health the mob currently has left at the time?
3) What's the difference between the Agitate Nest and Impregnate Wasps? They seem to be the same.
4) Should I be able have 3 wasps out at time by getting 2 Agitate Nests off and then an Impregnate?
5) Does Protect the Queen stack with sorc/chant/cb etc debuffs?
6) What's the best rotation for soloing? I keep Vampiric Swarm 4-5 levels higher than me and it still dies ridiculously fast to mobs at or near my level. If I use Agitage Nest and or Impregnate (kept 2+ levels higher than me), mobs tend to 1 hit those wasps, so if Vampiric Swarm is so ridiculousy bad at tanking, how do I keep mobs off me without taking an annoyingly long time to use Daze repeatedly and run away to get distance? If daze misses (or really anything else for that matter) I'm screwed, espeically if I have more than one solo mob on me at a time. I mean Vampiric Swarm dies rapidly, and wasps get 1 shotted, so how should I survive as I can't personally tank crap? Is Vampiric Swarm suddenly amazing once it's 50-55+ or something?
I tend to be at or near number one in overall damage with groups fighting group mobs, but soloing is radically problematic due to pets and myself dying stupidly fast so any advice in this regard is appreciated. At level 42 for example, I know from experience that an ele/voker/fi/ranger/defender (and probably some others besides pure heals/support classes) can very very easily solo the first part of Lodrogs (just killing the Revenants), whereas as HK with Vampiric Swarm 3-4 levels above me, it dies in about 5 seconds to Prefects, and I die just as quick. My weapon/armor is not terrible and my adept/paragon is not too low. It seems like I must be doing absolutely everything wrong.
