I followed the guide exactly and I can tell you, it's not what you make it up to be. Hammerdins, Bowazons, Concentrate Barbs, and a few others can destroy the bear and wolves easily, thorns or no thorns, and usually it's too slow to even kill naked players running by to grab bodies. Sure, here or there you'll kill somebody, and nk a couple people, but overall I'd say this make is a failure. I will say this though, wether your bear gets owned or actually kills people, it doesn't matter because if you're looking for heat you'll get it just from casting the bear. People cuss me out all day long.
