It works. Just got to use the right gear. Ribcracker is a golden one. Preferably ethereal.

Rest of gear kind of gives itsefl, just use good gear. You switche between feral rage and fury, build feral to the max level, use fury for 15 seconds, switch back. It works well and it's fun as hell too. Leech well. Use atma's scarab for the 5% ctc amp dmg, you hit so fast that it procs now and then.

Use the regular ias calculator to find ias breakpoints.

Well yes, you leech so much life and deal a lot of damage, of course you can't rush into the worst packs like with any other build, but with semi-high end gear you can do that with 80% of all monsters in hell. The rest you of course have to be a bit strategic with. No build in the game can tank 2 super packs with might+fana extra strong extra fast, forget it.

But it will be good and does well. Ribcracker is such a great strong weapon for this build, i guarantee it will be fun. I mean i think it was 2 and 3 ladders ago, i was lucky to find one quite early in nightmare, i made druid both times, just run fast as hell and kill anyting fast lol.

Stormshield / grief pb is very common for hclad and works wonders.

There is though one thing i must prevail. It may not be a big problem.. but it is a very slight frustration issue.

When the druid swings in werewolf form, and if he misses, it takes a few frames longer for him to swing again, rather than if the swing hits. If you hit, the next swing happens faster. So successive hits happens fast.

This may cause a bit of frustration in the way of fine-pointing your way through the battle. I.e. it can cause you to time things slightly wrong.

But probably you won't find it an issue, just want to make it known.

If you don’t go 2H:

Jalal- Skills/stats/res — Socket with um if you want more res
Highlords - Ias and DS
Weapon - Grief/Botd/whatever here
Fort - ED / res
SS - DR — Socket with um if you want more res or whatever
Dracs - Proc tap for leech
Raven - CBF
String - ll and dr and mdr
2nd ring - your call
Gores - ow/cb/ds
Swap CTA
Torch and Anni

A2 Merc, pick whatever aura you want
Have him run reapers to proc decrep to break physical immunity

I have a similar build as above. Max DR, all max res but fire (60), plenty of life with max oak sage

Bad build, dracul and reaper curses will muck each other up.
