Sorry for the double-post, I can no longer edit my original post. I didn't notice your skills setup the first time I posted and I wanted to comment on it a bit, if you'll have it.

If you're only maxing one of the Summons, make it the Grizzly. Maxed Dire Wolves with no synergies will not be very strong in Hell, certainly not worth 20 points. If you want Dire Wolves, you'd need to max both Dire Wolves and Summon Grizzly. As a melee druid, I'd sooner max HoW than either of those summons though. You don't need the extra tanks, Shockwave is simply overpowered in terms of defense. Shockwave really gives melee bears the chance to focus purely on offense. I think maxing Werebear, Lycan, Maul, HoW, 10 second duration Shockwave (level 15 after items) is the best choice - the rest can go to Summon Grizzly. If you really wanted to max one of the summons, you could simply put 1 to Shockwave (and be forced to recast it more often) and use those points towards the Grizzly.


Forgive my stupidity xD actually I know where I can build Beast but that moment I totally forgot :(
Well, I dont need the damage from Grizzly, the point is:
Grizzly doesnt receive HP from skill points. He gets HP from dire wolf.
I want a blocker. I dont need damage :)
Thats why max dire wolf and 1 Grizzly --> High HP Grizzly
You are right with the def. Bug I like to have a blocker for all the ranged guys, since im going HC Ladder.
I will have high def, so I could ignore the fhr breakpoint and go with ethbug MalTir so I have even higher ress, so less likely to go into fhr animation after ele attacks.
The thing is, Beast Champion's axe is just better than Upped Ribby+Shael. More damage, more stats, just less cb.

Nice, well if you have the time to farm for a Ber for Beast, I'd definitely look into Fortitude armor over all other armor options. Give Shockwave a try as well, just 1 pt to try it and see if you like it ;)

Above all have fun, and let us know how it works out for you!
