I still think Jalal's would suit your build best, plus it is kinda your unicorn. :P

That rare Nado pelt is a nice one! When I did my Windy walk I re-spec'd to full Windy once I had 'Spirit' and 'Insight' in A1 of NM. I had a +3 Nado 'Lore' pelt though. :D

but style wise the grizz pelt surely beats that jajalas, i mean who the fuck likes totemic mask :>

How fast is a single hell Meph run going for you? Do you try to hit multiple areas in one game, or go for all Meph runs, or all Andy runs, etc.? How do you tend to get to the boss the fastest?

I've enjoyed watching your loot hunt!

Thanks! I've ran 4 key areas in this WT. First NM Meph, then Hell LK, then Hell Pits, and now Hell Meph will be the last area that I farm. I had written these paragraphs a little earlier in the WT, I think they answer your questions!

I've started running Hell Meph, and I wanted to give a few stats on his runs in case people are interested.

Area: Hell Meph
Character type: Summoner/Fire Claws hybrid
MF amount: 408% (now have 437%)
Players setting: 3 (as stated in the original rules, Hobbes may run any boss at any players setting as long as he kills them on p8 first)
Run speed: 50+ per hour (runs are extremely consistent, never running longer than 1:05 but usually between 55 seconds and a minute, this includes restocking pots/repairing)

Reaper's Toll: 1:586
Arachnid Mesh:1:875
Gore Rider: 882
Stormshield: 1:895
Jalal's Mane: 1:978
Mara's: 1:3610
Also need either a BK ring or soj, but the chances are so low from hell Meph that I'm not even listing them.

I'm not sure how much time just to kill Meph, would have to time it. But it takes about 1 minute per Meph run. I run to Meph unshifted, use a tele stick to get across the bridge (council is on other side of the bridge), then cast grizzly way up by Meph, shift, and run forwards to join them. Open up invent and swap to the Ali Baba right before kill.

tyvm for all input about the pelts! I've decided to stick to the original plan and use Jalal's as the main pelt for the build (if it ever drops <_< ). However, I am saving the +5 Grizzly pelt and will use it for a future, post-Baal segment called "Grizzly 1v1s" in which the grizzly will be pitted in 1vs1 battles vs super unique monsters on p8! I'm going to have a super solid 6+ hour MF day on Sunday, so I'm really hoping to see a Jalal's by the end of the weekend! Here's hoping :thumbsup:

Always cool to find a +5 useful pelt but even shako beats it :) Hopefully a jalal will drop soon enough.

I really don't think Shako beats it as a helm for a summoning druid! I would certainly use it over Shako myself. If I was concerned with Fire Claws being as strong as possible, Shako might be nicer. But pretty much as long as Fire Claws is strong enough to take out PI monsters, I want the highest Grizzly damage possible. I always thought it would be really fun just to have a massive beast of a grizzly which is why I made this druid in the first place :thumbsup: My goal in the end was to have the best Grizzly I can get, with 2k+ Fire Claws damage (2k+ fire damage from the skill, not 2k+ overall including the physical portion). We will have to see how everything works out in the end, I'm pretty pumped to see the stats after Jalal's + Izual quest :D

Yeah well it's like +3 grizzly vs life,damage(phys and fire), mana, DR and 50% mf. Also the added stun lenght from Schockwave. If the pelt was +2 druid and +3 grizzly it would be a more even matchup.

I see your points, but I don't really need any more life/DR (3k+ life/43% DR on a max block/max res summon based build is more than plenty, if not overkill), the MF won't matter to me at all once I'm finished with these Meph runs because I will no longer do any MF runs as I will have basically my entire desired setup. What would be nice is a stronger, beefier Grizzly! The only place to increase that is by a nice +5 pelt or more summon GCs.

And yes I think I would still choose a nice rare pelt over Jalal's if I could get a +2 all/+3 grizzly with some nice mods on it, because at that point my Fire Claws would remain over 2k+ fire damage without having to get any extra levels.
