Haven't PVPd since 2013 (RIP perm bbs)

Whats currently the best pub setup or fpk setup for druid?

Since no bbs, I guess arach coa eni and suicide branch with 18fcr amulet?

Most desired stats on rings?
-FCR / STR / LIFE / MANA / RES / REPL?

So I guess a combination of str life mana + life repl mana rings? Or is repl not mattering on druid?

What about fhr changes? How much should one aim for?

So from my memory a pub setup would look like this:

CoA BerBer
Enigma MP
Suicide branch 20life/15@
Amu 2/18+/STR/LIFE/RES; optionally mana
Spirit Mon
Arach
Ring1: FCR / STR / LIFE / MANA / RES
Ring2: FCR / LIFE / REPL / MANA / RES
Trangs
Aldurs (?)

Thats the allrounder

Question of this topic is more about the flex options one really requires, which basically will come down to 2os diadems and some abs/res gear.

So one needs multiple diadems to still reach some DR + for example Thundergods or other shit I don't recall.

Diadem1:
2/20/30frw/2os/++

And basically the others look the same except they need different runes / jools insde

So one circ with BerBer, one with LoLo or some shit? Dno which ones are really needed and which one are totally optional.

Would appreciate any advice, might wanna rejoin the bloodmoore since D4 looks trash anyway

Hoto
Spirit
2/20fcr/30frw/60life/20 all res/2 socket circlet cham Ber or cham Lo or Cham shael depending on matchup(s)
Enigma
2/20fcr/30str/60life amulet
Trang gloves
Arach
1x 10fcr/20str/40life/90mana/41 fire res/11 all res ring
Wisp
Aldurs or 30frw/10fhr/20life/10 rep/40 fire/40 light res boots

163fcr/99fhr (fhr is less important on d2r now. Can run the 1 less BP if you want)

Or for vs phys opponents:
Hoto
Spirit
2/20fcr/30frw/60life/20 all res/2 socket circlet Ber Ber
Enigma
2/20fcr/30str/60life amulet
Trang gloves
Arach
1x 10fcr/20str/40life/90mana/41 fire res/11 all res ring
Raven frost
Aldurs or 30frw/10fhr/20life/10 rep/40 fire/40 light res boots


Or if you are really scared about DR, which you shouldn’t be as your zoo is your DR, you can go:
Branch
Spirit
2/20fcr/30frw/60life/20 all res/2 socket circlet Ber Ber
Enigma
2/20fcr/60 life/20 Dex amulet
Trang gloves
Dungo
2x 10fcr/20str/40life/90mana/41 fire res/11 all res ring
Raven frost
Aldurs or 30frw/10fhr/20life/10 rep/40 fire/40 light res boots


Or can swap coa in for circlet and arach for dungo in the above setup if you want budget.

Pelt/Coa suicide branch set up if you wanna invest less than 50k fgs

Circlet hoto if you have unlimited fgs because a plain 2/20/30/2os is 30k+ and you need multiple

What it boils down to is what you're willing to spend, if you have patience, and if you're any good w a drood, you can spend thousands on a character but still always lose...just remember yes good gear does help BUT your gear doesn't define you what defines you is your skill level gotta know how to play ele druid XD enjoy and happy playing w/b

Shako ?
Wizzy ?
Phoenix ?

He asked for pvp , not pvm tho …

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

How important is 30frw? Haven’t played pvp since release (except pking baals lol). Dunno how fhr changes feel, I heard different opinions on this. So is frw needed to walk out of mb or does movement speed not affect this (or general stun duration, well obv not this but makes frw any difference to get out of the stun lock quicker?

Thing is, these things are barely for sale. Id probably have to take a 2/20/2/@ placeholder anyway.

Guess coa works anyways since I know how to play dru so I guess it’s just min maxing. Guess I ll go for coa branch first with some nice fcr rings (which are more likely to get) and then scan the market.

How do you value repl? Would you go 1xStr 1xrepl ring or even both combined w/o life?

depends on what your playing really, and if its only fpk vs fpk, or fpk vs random all
vs nec din then stack as much vita/frw/fhr as possible, its not common but some people use dual spirit for insane fhr breakpoint
vs dudu then coa cham ber i think, i havent pvp'd myself for a couple of years so im rusty with setups

best thing to do though is, if youve ever played asgard go on there and cube all the stuff you want and test out different setups, before you commit to buying gear you might not want
