Does anyone have tips to beat Fury druid with GM Zealer?

Use death. CB is great vs high life pool

ty sir

what about vs conc barb?

Weapons with cb work great for them too. I run about 26k ar vs barbs.
Fort SA
Gores
Cb gloves
Visio diadem
Fools mallet
SS
Highlord
Raven
Melee blood ring
Dungo

Bye bye barb

This is beautiful man, thank you very much

Death is banned vs fury Druid anywhere where all class dueling is allowed.
You just use ebotd gface standard cookie cutter build, zeal is top class in gm melee it’s not hard to beat conc fury or jab.

Btw a zealer using Death is insta loss for the Druid, not much of a chance at all for a Druid to win vs a good zeal using death, so if you were using that vs Druids and losing there’s something else wrong with your build

BDM ladder allows death against furies

I. death allowed against furies in z vs f
top druids did exceptionally well even against zeals that used death.
if a druid does not know how to beat zeals with death, then that player doesnt know what he or she is doing.

example
14.) Lastsoulx lastsoulx / fury (5-0) <-- 0 loss

As you can see, our veteran GG fury lastsoul went undefeated. He didnt rank too high because he was not active enough.


II. weak barb issue
barbs are not "naturally weak"
it is the set of rules that kept barbs weak.
As such, BDM has implemented set of rules that help barbs perform better.

example
Druids Cannot use oak/how vs Barbs

against other classes, we are implementing rules that will give barbs a greater chance.

Fairness should never be decided by one person. It needs to be agreed by the majority through a democratic process.
BDM is an all class melee ladder and all of our rules have been established through voting. Our 2nd ladder will start soon so please join our server to vote for fair rules.
