Wild Mind Tips

• The only really negative effect from Wild Mind is the Miscast which can deal a very large amount of damage to the caster and surrounding companions/enemies
  • Keeping Focus low will greatly diminish the potential damage
  • Shock and Will Defense can protect the caster and companions
  • Miscast can also be used offensively by classes such as the barbarian or high-engagement builds, but doesn't proc often enough to rely upon.
