Hmm this looks cool, I might make one if I can find some good shapeshift lifers. Can I see how your bear does in duels?

I tried it on open, it's really fun to use. Just fire immunes are pretty annoying...I'm not sure if it works the same on closed realms, but phoenix shield and 6 fire facet shield, faceted helm and infinity merc get rid of some of the immunes.

I've never seen a shield with 6 sox.
Adding a lot of facets just for PvM is useless. you'll have a strong merc to rely on, +frequent life tap cursing since you'll be attacking with an impressive attack speed
This is a totally fun char to play, original and all that.

It's not a char I'd choose to pub with, more like fun legit GM private dueller since in pubs people will simply end up absing when they realize their TmcDins and whatever are no match for a dog.
It's one of my older chars so I don't have it anymore, just wrote a guide about it so I can make it again whenever I want +maybe even get some advice on how to further improve this build.

Armageddon is an interesting skill to use with werebear. I imagine it would be a lot of fun PVM, and you might even do really good versus non sorbing chars with your facets. You have very good fire damage.

Armageddon is a lot harder to dodge than a hammer field. I would imagine that with some good r/w and a ravenlore in stash you would do very well verus zons and maybe GM smiters.

very nice, although geddon is pretty hard to aim but if youre up close and personal pounding with fire claw chances are geddon is going to get a few hits though tongue.gif you might wanna try bloodfists or even magefists(yes the +1 fire does work for druid) and i think a 6 shaeld pb might suit this build a little better. You're also going to want a decent amount of frw since you cant teleport and maybe even some sorb gear for the sorcs (sorcs are not any fun with a shaper >.<) I hope to see a few of these out and about, would be interesting to duel one with my fury druid.

6 Shael PB is both Cheap and useful for a FC druid.
However, to me this the best 1 hand option when speaking purely PvP:

This will reach the highest Ias frame and add some mods you like (just use 2 x 15% ias jewels with whatever additional mods you need)
Like the earlier statement says, your not supposed to "attack" with the armageddon, it either creates a field around you or a trail behind you. So it's a pretty Defensive although Devastating spell.
Added frw is possible from i.e a frw circ or a few frw sc's. Nigma adds pretty much anyways^^
Sorb is BM, and this character won't do too well in BM vs BM duels (Imagine them noticing your sorbing in a pub, yeesh...) tongue.gif
(oh and as you can see in the background of the picture I'm aware of the magefist thing wink.gif )
