Rabies druid is viable in team vs team, a well piloted rabies druid can be amazing in some team compositions.

For 1vs1 rabies druid struggles vs most match ups.

Rabies druids are all about +skill , if you want to invest in a sigon shield make sure to str bug it as it helps synch from my testing, being that the shield base does have a property that effects frw. (This is not proven to help vs the weight penalty for frw)

Useful mods in for rabies pelt; Armageddon/Wolfs

Armageddon simply just helps vs sync other then that it causes very little fhr on hit
Wolfs serve as meat shields primarily vs charge, fire ball and spirits. Note not to spam it vs classes that have life steal incorporated in their build sense life steal will work vs pets in pvp.

Here are some items you might find helpful to your build path.



some basic parameters to you want to cover

frw 130 (or more of course)
note: try to connect a feral rage when possible

life 2k +

mana none
note: you wont need to add to mana being that you will get a lot of passive mana regeneration from perfect skull and/or x% damage goes to mana mod. I ended up getting gear that gave me mana so I could continue to spam wolfs and oak when needed.

life rep 30 (or as close)

I'm not saying you have to meet these parameters 100% as stated, but they have proven to reach some level of success in my experience.

Hope this helps

Definitely does. I didnt even know cudgels could spawn 2 shapeshifting skills, so I have been trying to figure out a weapon and armor. was going to use silks over viper because the res and fcr dont seem to be needed in lld, but wasnt sure.

Hmmm

They do they do very much fcr not so much for the Druid but the max res does

Wait till u fight any sorce

Not to mention the str req diff between silks and v magi

Didnt even think about the 100 str req on silks.

Silk is nice but the str requirement is way too high, it also has a weight penalty making you run/walk slower. I recommend spirits should armor, it provides 1+ to all skill 10 life rep and has a low str requirement. I also recommend you keep a viper magi armor vs elementals when needed, or socket a spirit shroud with a nice resistance jewel.

Thank you all once again. My build so far then is a 2 shape shifting ammy with life, that pelt i posted, angelics ammy and ring, string of ears, blood fists, dual res 30frw 10 fhr boots and a bunch of frw/max/ar and max/ar/life scs and 2x soj, for when i use the shape ammy and not angelics.

Angelica is a piss pooor idea

Sojs with the 2 ss ammy skills >>

Shouldn’t have to use Angelica at all

Tbh max ar lifers aren’t needed either 15 life with res or 15 life with mana and frw mamas would most likely help more


Id keep some for ar boost but don’t think full inv is best


This is if your going pure rabies that is

Looks goods , I use just 1 angelic ring and 1 soj for the bonus ar if you have an issue hitting high def characters. I rarely ever have this issue. I cant explain how much + to skill is important to this build. In a scene were most have 75% psn res and some will stack 75% plr which does effect rabies, its already tough to deal that even with max rabies dmg. So lowering your rabies skill level can significantly determine your win ratio.

I am. Taking all advice. I will do my best to try to get those type of scs.

Could use a spirit/sigon on swap for a little extra life from oak
