Yo - just made a meme Fire Dudu and am super surprised at how well he is holding up against regular builds… baiting people into death form above AND below is super satisfying.

But because am noob to this - I got a few questions.. and was hoping someone out there had some Fire Druid experience (not Shamen - Pure Fire / Oak Sage). Also - I already know it’s not the BEST build, you telling me below will not stop the FUEGO.

1. I want to run my 30/30 Fire Stick WITH my Ravenlore for -55% Fire Res - but the FCR / FHR BP’s are totally shot if not using either my 2/20/30 Circ or Hoto. So.. should I say fuck the FCR since I’m run/walking mostly anyways and fill up on FHR charms to 99?

2. Also - super noob question - should I be walking and not running when facing enemies I can block while using my max block set?

3. Lastly - I’m the land of charms - should I stick with my 9 Ele GC’s (two with 12 FHR) or ditch a couple for some more FRW / FHR / RES SC’s?

4 Double Lastly - Any gear suggestions below are welcomed - just learning all this!

Figured I’d list my setups to help answer these questions.

Gear 1: High Res Caster (99 FCR / 99 FHR / 100 FRW)
- Hoto
- Ravenlore Socketed with 5/5 Fire Facet
- Enigma
- Spirit
- Arach
- Treks
- Magefist
- +2 Skills / +8Fcr Amu with 18 res (cheap I know)
- BK ring
- Sorb Ring (raven / wisp / dwarf)

Gear 2: Max Block Melee (48 FCR / 99 FHR / 120 FRW)
- 30/30 Fire Stick (6x Socketed Crystal Sword with Facets)
- 2/20/30 Circ Socketed w/ Shael
- Enigma
- Eld’d SS
- Arach
- Treks
- Bloodfist (FHR)
- +2 Skills / +8Fcr Amu with 18 res (cheap I know)
- BK ring
- Ravenfrost (Max Block)

Charms:
- 9x Ele GC’s (two with FHR)
- FRW Sc’s
- A few Res Sc’s
- A few FHR Sc’a
- 17/19 D Torch

Like I said - the Druid is already doing great but I was just wondering if anyone more experienced could lend a few suggestions to the setup and maybe pump some more damage - even correct some things like Walking to block and my charm setup!

Thank you for reading all this - and for the potential help!

the fire sword/ravenlore thing was more of a town fissure druid back in the day but thats patched so ur better off hitting breakpoints to teleport

u dont rlly need anymore frw than enigma, u should be teleporting 99% of the time anyways, 99/99 is fine but if u feel u can drop hoto and use sword then go ahead

and yes walking keeps ur block percent at max, running cuts it to 1/3rd

Walking / Running expands Armageddons spread - the more distance you cover the wider the spread causing a greater wake of destruction. There have been many druids who have done a lot more than just town camp using this setup. Thank you for your response tho!

Then yes use walk vs melee or run vs casters

But what im saying is the faceted sword setup was MOSTLY used for tging on d2

Use your preference

Hate to burst your bubble Mr. Fire Druid:

2x dwarf stars
1x 4os shield socketed with 4 perfect rubies
1x nokazan relic ammy
1x hotspur boots
1x Wizspike socketed with Fire res jewel

= equals =

you're dead.

What an interesting take - I guess you feel the same way about every elemental class in the game since they all have sorb items?

Also bump
