- Vital Boon (Earth Prayers)
- Veil of Thorns (Earth Prayers)

- Sand Shards (Earth Prayers)
- Mystic Regeneration (Earth Prayers)
- Antidote Signet (Ranger other)
- Resurrection Signet ()

================================================== =======
9 BM for 9 second Heket's Rampage, which results in 1 second downtime.

I didn't find a use for Mysticism other than Mystic Vigor so I didn't invest in it.

Veil of Thorns since cannot use the beloved Cripppling sweep

Sand shards is for hexes that make you miss and wards.

Antidote signet for blindness.

Not sure, but I think 15 earth prayers with 11 scythe is better than 14 earth prayers with 12 scythe...

Anyway, cannot use any attack skills since Vow of Strength prevents them from being used, which is why I bumped up the Earth prayers instead.

I don't think Vow of Strength is even a good elite, considering it increases base damage by 50% and base damage doesn't ignore armor IIRC.
================================================== =======
Yeh here's my lame attempt at making this skill usable.
Feel free to flame away, since I don't really think the elite is useful.

been using this for a long long time. works well.

Scythe= 10
Earth= 11 + 1 + 3
Myst= 6
Beast mastery= 9

Without Beast mastery at 12, wouldn't the pet deal less damage?

a little, but its still doing alot more than no pet. and with no attack skilla and points already in beast mastery its your best alternative for damage.

In my opinion, Heket's Rampage is not worth it when running Vow of Strength, as maximum damage output is (as far as I know) achieved when going 16 Scythe and 13 Earth (Obviously more with a "bigger" rune in earth). Investing all those points into beast mastery is for me simply not worth it, when Flail does the same job without any attribute points invested, and can be kept up indefinately even when hitting only one enemy. And if you're not phyched about the decreased movement speed, I tend to bring Rush as a cancel stance, but I also use Aura of Thorns and Sig of Piois Light for crippling and bleeding.

yeah the attributes are spread pretty thin on those, id recommend loosing at least one of the attribute lines
