Rain Dance - Only useful while solo or with other WDs. der=0>

[pcguy]

Big Bad Voodoo - Rain Dance allows the Witch Doctor to regenerate 122 mana per second while within it's area of effect. I am wondering whether this regeneration would only apply to the Witch Doctor who casts the spell, or if it applies to all Witch Doctors in the area.

If it is possible, would Witch Doctors be able to stack multiple Rain Dances on top of each other and have one gigantic area of 488 mana regeneration per second?

Additionally, why is this skill only beneficial to Witch Doctors? Should it allow the generation of Rage, Spirit, Hatred, Discipline, and Arcane Power as well?

Doesn't the skill goad Witch Doctors into only grouping with each other?

It does sound as if Rain Dance might stack. So while the Rune may encourage grouping with Witch Doctors, the Skill itself is fine for a non-WD party.

Also, I would argue that even if Rain Dance stacked, you wouldn't feel obliged to group ONLY with other Witch Doctors. It's still a really nice boost even just to yourself, and your allies still get the regular bonuses of Big Bad Voodoo which are nothing to scoff at.

That said, I do think it would be nice if Rain Dance increased resource generation for all classes (assuming it affects other players than its caster in the first place).

The WD has many a skills which are made to help him out with mana. That's how that resource is designed. This skill is no exception; it just happens to have an aoe effect as well, which is why its kinda akward.
