The build im refining to now is;

20 raven
20 spirit wolves
20 dire wolves
20 grizzly
1 lycan
1 shockwave
1 spirit of barbs (for vs melee / bvc)
1 twister (!)
0-1 poison creeper
rest heart of wolverine

prebuff with ravenlore, swap to a +6 grizzly pelt. Im using max block stormshield setup with spirit swap vs casters, but could be full vita, and can be easily set up for 163 either using just 1 soj swap and circlet swap with ravenlore prebuff, or a wizspike setup (better than suicide branch with low cyclone armor)

Volcano is worthless now; it cant even trip one block animation to interrupt teleport. Twister seems perfect for the 2.4 fhr meta. It can interrupt them once on a telestomp to allow minions to connect. And Ive always praised HoW over oak on shamans. Witb a grizzly pelt main, you can get a full zoo damage setup with no raven sacrifice with a prebuff you can do in town

I've only got a +2 druid / +3 grizzly helm for main setup, still need to get a +6 since it would have a substantial boost with not just +grizzly ed but base damage boost to wolves.
Also I would amend the above to say skip spirit of barbs, I forgot they nerfed it in 2.4 (as if it was a good skill before). Instead of getting % damage reflection, its flat damage reflection, so you'd need to rely on edge runeword in those matchups. Old level 29 barbs was 330% reflected, new is 662 reflected. Someone hitting it with 6k damage attacks is taking 662 instead of 19800. So that's a big heap of trash. Not worth 1 point. Poison creeper arguably not worth a point, but eh its compared to 7% aura ed basically
I think I might also advocate for just skipping the 1 point werebear/shockwave in 2.4 after seeing just how bad the FHR bullshit is. There's really no point to using SW over twister other than just to give yourself some facetanking damage mitigation from werebear, which is usually not worth the slow animations and inability to teleport
you could max raven+summons+HoW with 1 point twister at level 93, 94 you can put 1 point creeper, 95+ you can waste skill points on whatever

At first I was like "eh maybe this will work". Then I realized it was a Goomshill thread.

I'm doing it.
