I actually just discovered the value of that 163/cano set up yesterday for myself. Can't believe I overlooked it, shit is hilarious :P
Yea 102 ghosts and c/c trappers are still kind of a challenge, but I'm trying to start using more cano against them, then draw in with the fissure after it's casted.

The block is really for one main reason and truthfully, one reason only. I didn't design him to be a 4v4, 1v1, etc dueler. He's just my wicked fun char to go pubbing with. Vs mercs/charge/ww/nados/kicks/guided and all the cross fire that comes from it, he literally lasted about 5 seconds out in the moor without mb. With it, I'll easily take down 2-3 people just because he can survive hits. The 99fhr is more important to me than the block rate since sins are currently the only char aside from 200fcr fb'ers that can lock him.

To the last point, yea I actually looked into the frw option, but it came back to one big issue for me. He stopped having that full functionality as an ACTIVE fissure and I ended up running around in circles just laying fissures and hoping somebody ran into them or I got an nl. It brought me back to the primary issue that made fire druids so damn boring when I originally started messing with them. By going with more of the fcr focus, it literally forced me into having to actually use it, and that's where all his fun for me came from :P

Good points on all counts! Thx for the input!



It's a lot, but my 4,6k life @ lvl 89 is also not having his gear stacked to the best it could be. I borrowed some of the top-grade ele druid gear from a buddy and got my life to over 5,4k with just adding some odds and ends, with his base 99/99. With the -78 phoenix set up, it was almost 6k



Thought I posted it somewhere in here. Believe it's 2,3k un-oaked currently. Will have to verify that when I get home. I actually use oak as bait a lot of times, so it's usually almost always cast since it's part of my dueling strategy with him. Just haven't gotten a good enough way of explain it yet to list it in his dueling strats :P



Thx :D



Is it a shocker that I wrote a guide for a character that works for me? Isn't that how this works?


Only 2k life without oak, my god.

If we can just shave off hundreds to make things look lower than what they are, why not round it up to 4k <_<

Explain that to a landlord expecting $2,300 when you only have $2,000.

Although with the setup you use 75% of the time, I did notice you only reach 79fhr. Correct me if I'm wrong bud.


"Alright, well there is how he looks, and I'll let you know what he uses. This set up is what I use against 75%+ of what I duel. It holds Max Block, Max res, 4,6k life, 6k Fissure, 8k Armageddon, -50 Enemy Fire res, 99FCR, 99FHR. The rest of the swap outs, you can figure on your own from what's listed above

-20res Raven Lore
RM Enigma
30/-30 War Axe
35 FCR spirit Monarch
10fcr/20str/15dex/14mana Rare Ring
Soj
2 Druid / 19fcr / 37life / 18mana Ammy
47% Aldurs
Magefists
Arach

20/17 Dtorch
20/18/10 Anni
7x 40+ ele lifers
2x FHR ele lifers
8x 18/5 scs
1x 20/11 light
