I’m sure your better than the people who wrote the unified guides on d2jsp for windys. Most have a 99/99 setup



The vast majority of the stickied guides here are complete dog shit.


99mb is by far inferior to 163 non max block.

Pelt for pure dmg. I run pelt with 99/99 setup. Rather a circ on 163 fcr. Would never use a circ on 99fcr because I would lose about 400 dmg in nado



No offense but u should never, ever run 99 fcr

Maxblock druid is horrible

Playing maxblock 99 fcr on druid is like a self-stunlock

Im not max block. I run with ss and just dex gear. All vita. Just a switch up. But 99fcr isn’t dog shit. I was mb at one point but reset my character to all vita

With your block you are just getting locked to all hell from extremely low block frame rates.

Then you have low damage
Then you have low life
Then it’s hard to get max fhr
Then you have 1 less FCR frame rate To tele
Then you Have 1 less FCR frame rate to cast nado thus lowering your dps.


For reference, a 99fcr Druid casts teleport slower than a 37fcr barb. Can you not see how this is a problem?

Geez you are dumb

Are you running Coa in your build? I never said 99 fcr is the best but it’s a very viable build with ss. If you have no dr and running a glass cannon build any mellee will rape you

It’s not viable at all with ss.


There is 3 ways to get high DR on Druid in 163

Can do typical hoto circlet build with 2x Ber In circlet along with a Low Dex raven frost For cbf

Can do branch + circlet Ber Cham + dungo + 2x FCR rings

Or can go branch + coa + arach + 2x FCR rings.

Okay I agree yes. The Coa build is superior.

OK so the whole point of "never mb on dru" is because he has low block frames and thus getting block locked.

Its true that the block lock happens sometimes but its not that bad since u dont get hit and usualy walking a bit and tele is enough to get you out.

Did you guys actualy tested this out with your Dru vs barb / bowa ?
I never felt that mb was making it harder due to blocklock. Its the other way around actualy.

Might drop mb setup for full life with dr setup.
But I do like having mb atm. Just a matter of preferences I guess.

And you can say I'm dumb or clueless but thats the way I like to play. Feels safer and I can be more agressive vs barbs.

And most of the time barbs / bowa will say thats its harder vs maxblock anyway.

Asks for pro Druid advice, ignores it because just wanted to feel validated.

Ty for advice.

Did that makes you feel validated ?

Anyway as I already said I might drop mb setup to go full vita with dr.

So your "advice" was kinda already heard.

Just trying to understand why People bash so hard on mb when it does not feel so terrible when actually playing it.

But that was not really the topic, and the pelt question has been answered I think.
