offbeat but effective builds?

i also have had a fire claw druid and i would have to say that bear is the way to go because only as a bear can you reach 4 frames or 6.2 attacks per second. and fire claws is unblockable but it doesnt always hit if that makes any sense. so basically if your AR roll lets you hit then you will hit and if not you wont so AR is very important to this build.

I would also have to agree that casters are really hard but i have had some luck with unshifting and casting fissure.

also i gave my self 1 point into oak sage because it helps increase your life with only one point and even more since you will probably have alot of + skills gear on.

bears are faster but wolves are a lil more versatile hence "flaming rabies" are more common

yeah flaming rabies are okay but most use a carrion wind and some even use a stone which i find to be BM just like the marrowalk bug.

u thought bears where slower? as bear = def+life+damage
wolf = Ar+Ias? am i wrong?

I've semi finished my geddondruid and hes doing really well, at lvl 80 he does 9.6k geddon 3.8k fissure and 880 phys volcano. He's loads of fun, but as endurack stated, dies easily to most cookie cutters. Still fun and i'm gonna perfect him even more

Wolves are capped at 5FPA with Fire Claws, whereas Bears can reach 4FPA. Seems backwards, yes?

Wolves get more AR than Bears though, there's a lot of trading off.

higher fpa better? or lower? i dont understand lol... see y i sux at duels

FPA = Frames per Attack. There are 25 frames / second in D2.

4FPA would be faster, as less frames pass between attacks. 4FPA is also the fastest ANY attack can be.

also i gave my self 1 point into oak sage because it helps increase your life with only one point and even more since you will probably have alot of + skills gear on.

o yes.. sorry i forgot this part..


and yes AR and FHR are important.. for ar i jsut cheated use angelics and demonlimb for enchant.. ure at like 28 k ar right there..

and for fhr thats why u use imps.. if u cant get a pair of imps dont really bother with the build.. cause with +18 str less u need in str = more life.. plus the fhr res and r/w
