Planning out a fireclaw druid, and I'm trying to figure out if I should go for max block. My initial thought is no, since bearform has the worst blocking frames in the game (12 fpb, 9 if shael), and benefits a literal shit ton from vitality, getting amplified by bear form, lycanthropy, oak and battle orders. I guess blocking also sorta synergizes with high life, so the previous point might be moot.

This is obviously not a serious pvp character, more of a join a public duel game, sneak 3-4 kills while dying 12 times sorta char.

But on the blocking issue, I guess it would help me versus barbarians and... fury druids and ghost assa's I guess? Is block even worth considering on fire claw druid? Also, if anyone know of a thorough guide to fireclaw druid, it would be very helpful. The guide list in this forum is lacking to say the least.

It's up to you but life is probably better.

Barbs, WW Sins and Paladins will be your worst enemy and will come out on top almost every time.

50% block should suffice, this char isn't really meant for PvP btw.

Max block with stormshield

Done

Definitely get max block. Your life might not be as high as you think since fire claws has a lot of synergies so fewer points available for oak. You will be making skill point compromises.

I've tried both and not noticed a significant increase in win rates either way.

The only real change I've tried that made fireclaws noticably better in PvP was adding teleport for 4v4 games

Tele-shaper ftw!

I didn't say it was good.

Maby try jewlers sheild with shales also a guardian angel gives block.

Mine was, and great fun to play.

100% guarantee you would never beat any of my crew with a build that shitty
