So after finding a 2 ss, 3 rabies, 2 fury helm i decided to make a rabies/fury build. I was thinking of building as a pure rabies build skill wise, but utilizing a lot of fury gear to balance it out. Think this will this work? I dont really care that much about killing everything, more just being a viable char that will at the least be fun to play.

For the skills:
13 in rabies
1 feral rage
1 werewolf
5 lycan
15 psn creeper (went with this so i could get more life with points in lycan and more are for fury with points in how, but should i max instead and forget extra points in lycan?)
1 oak sage
5 how
=41 skills

For the gear:
helm: 2/3/2 helm with shael
wpn: shael'd naga
armor: 3os lp of squid with maxers
shield: atod with maxers
ammy: 2 ss ammy + mods
rings: sojs
boots: sanders
belt: soe for melee, fhr/rep/stat belt for others
gloves: bfist (ne other option here? figured bfist would work well)

not sure what to put on switch, maybe 5os battle scythe with shaels and hels for getting casters with range, but not sure if this is the best option

for charms:
eventually aim for life/ar/max scs for like 20ish spots, rest would be for frw charms with either max/ar or res

was thinking ill need at least 100 frw, i forget the bp im aiming for fhr, but ill get 50 from gear (shael in helm, bfist) on melee and 74 with other belt, so will prolly need to use some fhr charms as well, is the bp like 86 or something? i cant remember, maybe ill toss another shael in either armor or shield if necessary

after using skill planner rabies will be doing 4157-4444 dmg over 12.4 seconds, not sure if this is very good but the only changes i would make would be to the armor and maybe go with shroud instead of 3os lifer. no idea on the fury dmg however cause it would all depend on the jewels and charms i could obtain and im also worried because ar will definitly be a factor for fury since im going with the rabies build, guess ill have to try it out and see, might have to start with pure rabies build until i can get charms/jewels etc.

I know that david said weaj built one of these early last ladder, but I dont know if he still plays, anyone else tried the build or have any pointers/suggestions?

how the hell did u hit 8k rabies???

Uh all +skill gear and that 2s/s 3rabies pelt, then after you bite with a 6x shael'd naga for speed switch weapons to spirit sword and a sig shield for even more +skills

BTW I maxed psn creeper n all I could get in rabies as well

According to the ias calculator, you'll need 100 ias on your naga to be at the fasting attacking frame for both Fury and Rabies. That means you'll have 1 os open for either something like an eth rune or a jewel.

For your two-handed weapon, I recommend a 6 os War Scythe. You'll only need 4 shaels for it, leaving 2 sockets open for doing as you see fit. Nice range, nice speed for when you don't need block.

An alternative for your gloves could be IK, which would save you stat points for max block and to use your naga.

Also, I might consider a Peace over your 3 os lifer armor. Not sure though.

u would also need to use +1 armor to hit 8k, and max psn creeper, which i felt i didnt want to do so that i could get more ar with how

edit: i max'ed rabies as well, just left 5 outa psn creep so i could get 5 in how for dmg and ar for fury, but will see if this is worth it, ill prolly rebuild a few times



yea, peace armor isnt a bad idea, thing i like about the bfist is the fhr aspect cause i know ill struggle there, but peace has 30 fhr if i remember correctly so that might work, and i dont know what i though battle scythe, war scythe would work a hell of a lot better, not sure what i was thinking there

I dueled a 30 rabies druid earlier in a pub game so I don't suspect he knew alot of what he was doing but he was a pretty ezpk and I must admit the poison didn't do anything to me and he said it was because of maxed poison resist which is very easy to achieve.

well my buddy had one last ladder, and it was definitly not an ezpk, but his was pure rabies, so it prolly did around twice what mine will do

i might just build it as a pure rabies, drop the points in lycan for extra life

i could use the switch as my rabies bite and use sig shield and a spirit sword, that would hit around 7282-7672 rabies and still use peace armor for the fury switch with naga and atod

i would use spirit shroud armor and war axe over naga since you arnt pure fury

I'm pretty sure its 6 shaels in the naga not 5 David. And for 2 handed go with 4 shaeld 2 hel'd grim scythe.
