Hi there,

I decided to try out budget uber fury druid and just tested in on dclone.
Was going perfectly well untill i dropped his life almost to the end and then nothing happened.. couldn't finish him off.

too low dmg?

I am equiped as follows:

Non-eth Ribcracker with socketed shael
Jalal
Angelic amu
Treachery in ap
LoH
Nosferatu
Goblin
rings angelic and dual leech 109 ar 5l/6m
got some fine small charms
torch
anni
1 ss skiller +6str

got about 3.3k life, 18k ar (chance to hit was 75), dmg 500-1651

What do you guys think went wrong?

well if you brought him to low life but couldn't finish, it is a dmg problem. you seem to have enough cb but not enough straight dmg. maybe change to eth up ribcracker if thats an option?

That's what I thought initially but I made the mistake of posting in a different place..

so that being said.. do you think open wounds is the solution?

1st step would be swicthing to gore riders. that might solve the problem. you have 0% chance of ds and ow right now?

Get some open wounds to cancel his regen you probably just don’t have enough dmg to out dps his regen numbers. Swap gtoe for gores and you’ll slap him

Open wounds would solve this.

Duress and gores are viable choices.

Ideally i would do some swaps:
Jalal's -> Metamorphosis
Angelic ammu, ring, consider changing that to -> Highlord Raven
Treachery, well, consider both fortitude and duress...
Nosferatus -> Strings
Goblin -> Gores

Metamoprhosis is cnbf and 25% CB, and 10@. It also has 5 shape skills, it also have the possibility to swap to werebear, trigger mark of the bear, then go back to wolf. That will increase attack speed break a lot(25% skill ias, way better than any treachury), and give you 20% DR as well. You can still use treachury if you need the fade for res, but duress add 15@/30cr.
Then first hit with wolf you get 80% ar bonus(pretty permantent as well, and life boost).

Open Wounds option is best... depending on their Poison Res... you could opt for some charms dealing Psn dmg... just an option.

The reason ow works so well isn’t so much that the ow damage offsets the regen, it’s that open wounds literally shuts of regen and then does dps on top of that. I don’t think poison has the same effect but I could be mistaken?
