HoW sounds interesting, but i don't know how good is going to be with a plain phase blade and a build based entirely of fire damage. I'm no expert in druids, but isn't it HoW a boost to the physical damage? I thought about investing in summons too, but i quickly changed my mind (even before i started the wt), i want more skill points in Fireclaws synergies... i might regret that decision later, but that's part of the fun.


It's true, the HoW would mainly be helping your merc. But in Hell there are a lot of FI. I also see that you don't like to grind a lot. So it could be possible that your merc will be handling FIs very very slowly which could be frustrating. I was just figuring - you really don't need the life due to Shockwave + Lycan bonus, so Oak could potentially be seen as nothing but wasted points, whereas HoW at least gives you and merc more AR, and buffs your only FI solution (merc dmg). I'm no druid expert either however, these are just some thoughts :)

I'm interested to see how it will go, whichever way you choose!

Your ideas make a lot of sense. I have one planned respec for the future, to add strength for a Monarch (if i find one), so i might go for the HoW then... but i have to get there first, i need to see how hell feels with that character and then i'm sure i will change my mind about many things. Thank you for helping out with suggestions. :thumbsup:

have you thought of using 2hander? your block is low and u seem to run all the time anyway so ditch that shield and grab some mass ass axe.

I'm dependent on my attack speed, i only use Fireclaws so a 2 hander won't add much to the damage. On the other hand, a Phase Blade with 6 Shael runes will provide crazy attack speed (6.2 hits per second) and thus greatly increase my dps.

you could do a robo on some poleaxe for higher range and still maintain crazy attackspeed. would even have a bit more phys dmg if u decide to use HoW instead of oak


e: i forgot about the horrid requirements for polearms.
giant tresher would be the thing but requires loads of points.
lower tier would do the same but less dmg ofc

What's a robo? :D Sorry but i'm kind of a noob. I guess what i'll do at the end will all depends on what i find in my Mausoleum search. If i'm unlucky i might just take a risk and go further with what i have, cause i don't like standing in one place for too long... we'll see what happens.
