I’m looking for some constructive criticism of my PvM Fury Druid gear setup.

My priorities are attaining the highest IAS BP with fanaticism from Hustle (33 Werewolf and 65 IAS), FRW to catch up to casters, and a merc who can keep up. Also, I don’t want to use Metamorphosis. To those ends, I have come up with:

Jalaal’s 15/40
Highlord’s
Eth Reaper’s Zod
Enigma
LoH
Nosferatu’s
Dual Leech Ring
Raven
Gores
Anni
Torch
Cube
24x 3/3/20
9x 20 Life/ Res
Swap: CTA and Spirit

Merc:
Act 5
Eth Cure
LW PB
Hustle PB
Eth Gladiator’s Bane Dol

Cure and GBane primarily to negate decrep and freeze respectively.

I don't duel, but I've heard weapon's range matters. Range 2 is enough to hit opponents?

W8, you said pvm? What does "FRW to catch up to casters" mean then?

To clarify: I was referring to not being left behind in P8 games in, for example, the Chaos Sanctuary, due to lack of teleport.

in that case, how about Hustle armor instead of nigma? and mavina belt. And if you wanna kill mobs yourself, AR might not be enough. Then swap reapers with Infinity, which offers -def and FRW too.

hmmm, firebear is better if you use Infinity😂

If you were to use Hustle armour you could also use merc with might and conc, at the expense of +2 skills. I’ll test which is better overall.

EDIT: Realised you would still need fanat from merc to reach BP.

AR seems high enough with the charms and maxed werewolf, feral rage and fury?

With max IAS you instantly proc decrep which melts mobs and bosses even on high player counts. With Infinity would you use Reapers or Lacerator on swap?

The reason why I brought Infinity up was merely it had FRW, which you like to have ;)

As long as you hit mobs with current gears, Reapers is good! I guess you don't Ubers? My Uber-killer-bear is using Eth'd Fleshripper, which offers -75% def in total btw.

And I've checked attacking speed, and I've found you can hit the next BP with Hustle Armor without Nos belt, then you can swap it with Mavina belt for more FRW, or SoE/Tgods for more safety.

And if I used Infinity, then I'd respec to Firebear B)

I haven’t tried Ubers yet but was considering Fleshripper or maybe Stormlash? Which shield do you use? Sanctuary?

I checked the BP with Hustle armour without Nos and you do reach it with lvl 1 fanat on merc (31 Werewolf 68 IAS).

For PvM though without Enigma your MF is 0 and you lose the ability to tele to Chaos, Baal etc.
