A 5 or 8 level differene is huge. They will hit you whenever and wherever they want whereas your chance of hit is less.
Why did you throw away WW? Isn't flat life what a druid is looking for?

Threw out because I want maximum fire res and light res (or at least near) to survive act 3/4/5 in hell. Got plenty of life in bear form. Wanted to get high resistance Aldur's boots but these hotspurs are kinda nice also with 90% max fire res. Since I'm using double handed wpn it's rather difficult getting resistance up whilst having dmg. Thought this was smart, dunno XD



Ah. So every upgrade re-decides the defense I'm getting. Alright, thanks!

SO let's go for 80defense





73defense ( 70 - 80def).





Found this a fun drop, think it was Cathan's and Vidala's

Fun amulet, cannot use it though. One of my most favorites one always





And there's titans drop. WHERE IS RIBBY? XD

Andy bears the first ribby.

Cba to go andy again... found meoh map where wp3 is besides wp lvl2. Andy just takes too long XD. If I find Guillaume at meph for merc ill be happy and go hell a2+ also. Need CB for bosses mostly
