Yeah I meant by strategically unsummoning or summoning it (making sure it's up when the sin approaches to mb etc while you are repping).

I'd also say it's pretty even compared with nec's rep (in terms of life rep alone) sure you gain less life if you are repping with oak, then lose it and get hit but in a best case you actually gain more life in a similar time period (yes most attacks don't take into account oak life because of splash or w/e, but some will like charge or mb with oak up)

EDIT:Pride vs zone~ ?? pls man just tele to corners till ama is out of arrows, ezzzzzzzzzzz

Yea in duels where oak life is taken into account more than " normal " life, then druids are rep masters

The way I think oak saves you life is that,for example, if I'm hit by an attack that does damage over a longer period, I recast oak quick and try to just tele aa and keep it up so I lose less life ( as a lower proportion of your life is being lost under oak ), i.e. if being OW'd by sin ( some trap using OW kick vs druid now >,> ) or barb or maybe hit by plague javelin or something like this..

Vs Zone, nn tele to corners, just tele around to the river and boom I kill her

O swapping dracs for your stat gloves?

I do this vs druid in srs duels hehe, I drop to 69 block but it's really effective.

ye this on d2pk, I think that dracs w/s is best setup vs druids

Also I've seen quite a few people on eu using c/c are building OW into their main build now

Need valk for this i assume? (or use only one um rune ~_____~)

I never used those auto wsm bug setups, so i don't know if you can get the extra ias from there.

You'd need to socket a gt with a dex jewel on auto wsm But I think people are either using valk or just normal wsg bug

Ah ic ^^

Bump

This is nice

Adding this to mainstream guides

My only problem with this is your reasoning for no life rep on druids, though I do agree that some builds don't need life rep as much, druid being one of them, since you pretty much need to be ontop of your target to deal dmg, therefore you will get hit.

"packing 10k-12k Life. How the hell is having 40 life replenish going to heal enough for it to matter?"


40 life rep on a druid is still going to replenish the exact same amount of life as it will on a trapper for example.


Yea, the percentage of your total life is different, but that is mute point


If you replenish 39 life in 10 seconds on a druid, that's 39 more life that you can take dmg to.
If you replenish 39 life in 10 seconds on a trapper, thats 39 more life that you can take dmg to.



Overall it's a useful post though, good work.
