Caddy is -10 base but only reaches 8 fpa in Beast. So it doesn't get the speed nor the average damage a Titan requires. I'm still thinking act 5 merc with lawbringer and cta pb with monarch spirit or sanctuary hyperion. With monarch setup, BoBo can spam shockwave until Barb merc processes decrepify. Then BoBo can move in with his two handed monster wep....champion Axe grief or Beast. Most of this is fantasyland until a ravenfrost is found. Still using that upped duriels Shell. In the real world, Obedience is working okay. Bit slow, ofc. But it hits good and hurts monsters. Was going to add, CTA PB is pretty good attack wep with fireclaw getting +4 more skills with monarch spirit. Summons are stronger too. And as for speed , it reaches 7 fpa...good fallback wep if not killer fire wep. Consider the 12 ed silver-axe...8fpa and 96 average damage! The 3/4 ed per point of str will really be great. Champion Axe has lower average damage and only reaches 7fpa...not the 6 fpa possible with like edge bow in say repeating crossbow type shells.... I might just go with that beautiful silver weapon. Besides, even though fireclaw benefits from speed, there are so many fire immunes that real damage is essential. I should probably use Maul more often. I've been keeping my hotkeys simple and never using maul. Think Haloneya uses maul in his WT a lot--shieldless wonder that he is.

Found fools mod chu ko nu weapon. Sadly, I lost the screenshot but have the chart that shows ar boost:


It was a 6fpa wep with like 30 ias. But not really good for titan Bear. There are better choices, I think

Cool craft glove:


The 10 ias doesn't help with the current setup. 20ias would speed up both lawbringer and Obedience in pb and thresher using the 45ias helm. But the light res makes it a great fit. Could toss a 25light res gc and use life, res and fhr small charms--improvement!

Found another one of these:


Only 157 def but it's good on merc. Had to toss skullders because no room in stash. Still want a treachery for prebuff and for merc. Going to use next exceptional shell, fuck the elite ebugg version. I'll never find one. Merc needs fade and ias.

Well you prob should trigger atleast 1 maul on the first fight of every battle to get atleast some extra ED for the phys dmg. 20 seconds duration op Also theese titan-builds are so fun to follow!

as far as a temp set of 20 ias gloves, if you snag a pair of sanders gloves, they come with 40 HP as well. just a thought.

Glad you are enjoying it. This really is my first Bear or Shapechanger ever. Tried one but got bored very early and made it into an elemental druid. But reading some of the threads in player vs monster got me intrigued. So I didn't know that the maul indicator would stay up if I went to fireclaw! I would look more at Haloneya's WT streams if my comp or the twitch didn't lag so much. Then I could see it working right. I'm really relying on folks here to help me and you are doing just that! Appreciate the info and the feedback. It's still hard for me to use maul cuz I'm constantly summoning and fighting and switching and monitoring health...it's hard to fit in a small enhancement of green thingy! At first, I hotkeyed it by werebear...holyshit, kept hitting werebear and coming out of form...deadly mistake. I'm getting it down though. Hotkey management is one of the most underrated skills in d2. Putting them in the right place and making them second nature...non-trivial. Right now, I'm using Maul effectively on champs and situations that require long battles. Many monsters are easy kills with titan. And shockwave is uber good. So, add positioning BoBo to all the other needs....want to get as many monsters in that shockwave cone as possible. So on champ monsters, it takes a bit of time to kill and maul really helps. Titan does suit me. Can't wait to get big weapon. Titans are also really sketchy. You got to keep safety in mind...well, I do anyways.



I used Sanders early on. That life mod is great. For some reason, I never find bloodfist which has everything I want. Many of my endgame weps require very little off hand weapon speed. I'm getting to the point where I might just make a beast in the silver axe because BoBo's res can almost handle dropping obedience....which adds 24 res all. Early on, I was having to decide whether to use sanders or death glove and belt....cannot be frozen won out. I'm still learning the ropes on this build. I have an interesting development ahead...yet another glove possibility....

So found yet another GC of a different class:


Still no ShapeChanger GCs:


I do a lot of rectifier and shenk runs along with LKs:


not what BoBo needs.

Good old wizzy:


Not even id'ing it. NN. Here is a funny item:


Can't really be a phase blade! I tried using ort on it and it's still damaged. Looked for eld and a chip but it got lost in a game before I could try that....does it work? Cuz it would be worth it if I could cube it for 5oc.



We really need to find a way to trade....

This is way out of sync...found earlier:


BoBo could use an Aegis! NN eth monarch:



Aegis Bearing Zeus or BoBo Bearing Aegis...Okay.... Found this item which really frustrates me:


I love teleport ammys. And +3 SS or Summon would be so nice with teleport...not today.

Funny item:


Not nearly as good as pinkfluffybunny's big old man Champion axe...I never see life tap in any other weapon shell...cept wands and daggers and axes....like the third I've seen in axe.

So, been down in Crystalline Passage many times and found the wp and then these frozen River guardians:


They are never a problem with Lawbringer. But down in that river....man. Just can't get past the entrance. Souls or witches chase old BoBo out...even with 75 lightning res the souls are deadly:


Boss lancer was only so cooperative as to allow a screenshot. She was way too fast for the bear crew, besides, BoBo has way too much respect for champion Snow Bears.

Typical battle in Crystalline Passage:


It's actually pretty sketchy. Cold res is not great on switch and the Gulzar is having his issues...loves fighting wraiths.


yeah, it's nasty down in the frozen river. It's killed many of my early ladder hdins....like witches and souls by the billions with charging zombies...can't imagine a worse mix.



Souls and witches...throw in some lancers or snakes. Eventually BoBo will have to bite the arrow.

LKs have been profitable. Found three useful charms:


Replacing a 14life sc.



Replacing a 29 cold res GC.



That's an older charm never shown. Have like three of these types. Another charm being used is 19life/11fire res lc. Kind of look at it as if it was 19life sc and 11 fire res...quite nice

Gave up on Frozen River. Did lots of LK's to craft and wish for high runes. Went looking for next wp:


Real merc killer. Also BoBo killer. Can't even get close to those guys. Left them alive for you



Mostly undead and some snakes. Would be so hard without lawbringer. No snake bosses.


These guys really hurt. Merc got bloodied bad.
