a respec would be better served with rabie imo

while rabies is TERRIBLE as a main skill i think it could work to clear single phys immune bosses or even packs, plus youd have poi creeper which might help a little in overall dps and vs ghost packs

however i think the road ahead for a fury is tough without a good source of ele dmg. maybe if u found like a gimmershed or something you would be fine with just that on switch but as is with ur gear i would think rabies > fire claws, especially because it has much less synergies to eventually pump

EDIT: for a really go answer u may want to post ur gear / stash swap gear to get all options looked at


I will get a gear picture up but might take me a little bit.
As for gimmershred or other Ele dmg weap, I would love to find one, but remember this WT is no reruns (No MFing along the way).

Might try the respec to rabies. If I respec, is it better to go with bear form for the shockwave and stun effect or stick with fury? fury has been working well so far.

Probably wouldnt have very good hit %, also, Lifetap wands are hard for wolf/bear cuz you have to cast out of wolf form in order to use lifetap, then back to wolf form to attack... too bad you cant cast the spell while in form.

After looking into this, I am thinking this might be the option to go.

Right now I have 86 Skill Points, I think my stat distribution for now will be:

20 Lycanthropy
20 Fury
20 Oak Sage
1 Raven
1 Feral Rage
1 Spirit Wolf
1 Dire wolf
1 Bear
1 Poison Creeper
5 Werewolf (Attack Speed is +45% and it only goes up by 3% now, and AR goes up by 110% and up by 15% per level)
15 Rabies (I am only using rabies for Phys Immunes so I feel I can continue working on this as i level/ skill quests)

What are your thoughts? should I put more into Werewolf and less into rabies for now? Would it pay off to put more into the werewolf being that it will increase my speed / AR for regular attacks (Fury)? Such as 10 wolf/10 rabies? E: or is it better to hit w rabies once and have the psn damage spread to all monsters around so that it prevents monsters healing?
or is it more beneficial to go as Werebear form for the shockwave stun effect? (Would have the same trouble with physical immunes though)

Stats points obviously will be all vita except str/dex requirements for gear.

Thoughts?

E: I made it this far, but want to hold off for now because I am not sure how to deal with the wraiths in tower. I feel like I want to try the countess and hope for a good rune before I progress further. Maybe I will clear the hole while I wait.

Try to keep your merc alive but TP'ing a lot. 10 seconds and a TP is a lot better than 50k gold.

I've got no advice on the build though. Druid's aren't my forte.

Good luck in hell!

imo more pts to attack speed wont get u much faster u already got rib so thats legit speed.

u could get like a shield and a 6 shael war axe or something on switch for a safer rabies strike. or of course some + sklls gear for a rabies switch like if u can make a spirit or something that might help.

rib cracker is gg melee but vs phys immune i dont know if its much use

I will have to keep looking for sometihng I can put the shaels into. Gunna be a tough battle through hell...Not looking forward to A2 lol

heres how I ended up statting for now (Hope to find something w mad elemental dmgs like a gimmershred, or an Um rune so I could make a Crescent moon maybe or maybe make a Passion and get +1 Beserk) I hope to find something so I can restat and not have to use Venom:

20 Poison creeper
20 rabies
20 lycanthropy
5 werewolf
1 feral rage
7 fury (will be putting points here while leveling)
1 raven, 1 direwolf, 1 summon wolf, 1 bear
10 oak sage (Puts me right at 3k hp)

So far its slower than watching icicles grow but it works. just hope i can find something better for this.
Still staying true and killing everything and no reruns.


Finally made it down to her


And all that for an Ort rune! lol
