Hi guys!
Back at this game afters years, but in SP now.
I got a question about druid.
Here are rules imposed (with out game is too easy xD)

- HC / always P8 / Ladder rw allowed (no plugy) / Only shape skills (exepted oak) / playing Bear (cause it's new for me ^^)
Goal : LvL 90 min + kill Baal hell Ofc

As I said, I never played Bear druid before, what should I focus? Considering fire claws can't be upg by synergie (rules)
Any special item needed? Rw?

All info are welcome ofc!
Thx!

Depends on where ur at.

Without synergies, fire claw is pretty useless.
Bear isnt an easy play on single player thats for sure.

Look for a rib cracker staff if 2 handed. 1 handed try to make black runeword in a flail. Crushing blow will be ur damage until later i would think.

Aim for Ribcracker - the key to the build...
Another choice IK ogre maul, windhammer.
Your realistic gear should look like:
Jalal mane/Guillaumes Face
Ribcracker upped and shaeled/ IK maul shaeled/ Windhammer
Ravenfrost
Highlords
Goreriders/Goblins Toe
String of ears
Any armor you find with stats and resists, skills. Duress, lionheart, Vipermagi.
Ideal armor would be Fortitude, but I doubt you find a Lo rune.
Max fireclaws, lycanthropy, rest into synergies of fireclaw.
1 point into shock wave. It’s critical skill for you, crowd control.
Act 2 Nughtmare Offensive merc with Trachery, G-Face and nice fat polearm.

Thx for info, I wasn't sure about Rib.




Thx man, but as I said, I can't put skills point in fire claw synergies.
About Lo, I'll do LK runs ofc, not sure I can finish then game with this druid with out good part of stuff lol

Ok. Max werebear, lycantropy, maul, Heart of wolverine.
Oak = shit, How only way for shifters in PvM.
1 point into Shockwave and Hunger.
If you find Buriza, you can also try it.
I suggest 2 ravenfrost for better AR.
Also IK set (without helm,body) gives nice bonuses and elemental damage for dealing with immunes.
Go for IK set - easy to obtain most pieces.

Thx!! I'll try this.
Just started ang progress is slow (mostly play sorc ^^) but I'll try to end it hehe

Didn't read, but listen to this guy.
If he has Sarevok in his team, he knows what's the real deal and how to smash through game with ease

a bear just spams shockwave like a bot

but no fireclaw synergy?

oh sweet summer child...

this is my fire wolf

one of the only guardian fireclaws ww documented on jsp/mat pat guardian compendium

because it's so fucking cancerous and slow nobody has done it



Only 2 synergy = abysmal damage. and you want 0??

I barely had enough at 9k ar to hit baal even with red spirit. (68%)

no ravens = death lords will fhr lock you bc you cant retarget them

no bear tank knockback

spirit will immediately die every time you summon it due to retarget mechanic








tldr; your stannis wt is gonna be miserable.

Well, we'll see how it goes. It will probably take me years to reach my goals but I'm not hurry at all ^^
Maybe play shockwave and only merc dmg, don't know atm. Only act2 norm, it's slow but safe
