posted this so many times now

stormlash wolf using items people hardly ever see, use or know about

Stormlash sheal (this is the build ill explain in a sec)

Lanceguard cham (max block sucks in pvm for wolf)

Cerebus' Bite 9/9/res jewel or better (jalas is probs better but i prefer life leech get +4 ss if u can )

Forti (armours not important you can use treachery or w/e just aslong as it has res life ect)

String of ears belt (leech dr mdr whats not to love)

Atma's Scarab ammy (amp dmg cast is awesome)

2x Carrion Wind rings (nice stun and leech)

Venom Grip gloves ( more leech! some crushing blow and more to your poison stack)

Gores (gores nuff said)

cta and bo shield

20 Cyclone armour
20 huricane
20 fury
20 lanc
1 oak sage
rest twister

you might be wondering about the skills well you see theres a cool little thing with weapons like storm lash that on hit cast certain spells in this build its a lvl 18 tornado being cast and that gets the synergys the normal spell would get so 20 hard points into cyclone armour becomes 180% more dmg added onto the lvl 18 tornado cast by stormlash and so on.

so using stormlash with a skill like fury that hits multiple times.... well ill put it to you this way each tornado hits just under 1k dmg and travels through mobs fury will hit about 3k average depending on charms the twisters cast by the two carrion wind rings add stun but dont do much dmg worth mentioning and you'll have a 5 frame fury speed which is about 4.5 attacks per second theres abit of a cast cooldown on tornados but each fury hit is doing dmg and the faster you hit the more chance your going to cast as soon as you can and the mass leech keeps you alive for a long time takes a while to do ubers tho.

Oh also stormlash has static field on hit aswell so most things are at half life while your fighting them.
and tornado hits twice and the amp dmg doubles its dmg so yeah

hope you dont go for a hdin or w/e and try somthing that i found very fun hope i helped :)

Three fun plays

best imo would be a high end fireclaw bear since it'll 1 hit most stuff and gets shockwave..


cheapish and good ;

Ik set bear

Jalas + ik parts and highlords , summon skillers and reapers might merc.

20 maul
20 lycanth
20 grizzly*
20 dires
20 how
1 shockwave
his pet after aura's (might+how) his average is 8649.25

for pvm, bear all the way. You get the benefit of shockwave, which is simply amazing amazing amazing. Its that good it warrants mentioning 3X. Monsters become hindu cows, calmly standing there waiting for you to bash them in.

you also get ~500%ed phy damage added with bearform and maul swirlie going at the same time your using fireclaw. Thats 500%ed you miss out on with the wolf.

usually only pvp fireclaw builds sometimes use wolf-form for the extra ar on really high defense matchups.

botd Great Thresher and Etomb are the best pvm fireclaw weps for sure.


etomb (without bo, oak)
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u131/Master_Zappy/Screenshot008-1.jpg
botd GT



Fireclaw bear. 6fpa @ 2K-12K phy damage (+ 50% ds) + ~12K fireclaw means you'll one hit most hell monsters and take down end bosses at speeds normally reserved for other classes. One stick to rule them all.
Shockwave is also amazingness.


2K-12K phy = 7K avg phy + 50% ds brings that to 10,500 avg phy
12K fire damage or 22K avg fire damage w/ conviction on a base monster.

32,500+ average damage per hit not including cb
130K average dps with 4X attacks a second.

vs hell baal this would be 21,450 avg damage per hit.
comprised of 5250 (avg phy) + 16,200 (avg fire)

That makes it top tier melee.


A windy for example = 16.5K dps with nado+ hurricane. Just for perspective.

125 fcr 15K hammerdin only = 20.2K dps vs hell baal.


good thread here

Another fun option :)


Armageddon Fury Wolf! AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!





Shael Earthshifter thundermaul +7 elementals and 11/7 fury with good cb)
Geddon fury rare pelt or Jalas or Ravenlore *
Coh armor (or fort)
Laying of hands Gloves
Tgods
Gore rider Boots
Highlords ofc.
mang song staff on switch (or you can use cta+spirit but the stick is kewl)
1ravenfrost +1 rare leach ring with other goodies.
ele skillers/torch/anni/cube inventory with life scs under.

20 fury
20 geddon
1 lycanth
everything else in synergy for geddon. Get 1 point oak.
The ctc fissure being synergised also has decent damage

conviction might merc. The geddon has great fire damage surpringly and it'll take anything it hits out in 1-2 impacts. Hell if you deck a tal sorc out, her fireball damage is about the same as geddon (just spammier)
