Off-weapon Ias helps to reach faster FPA on Werebear like in every situations. With 90 Ias Eth Tomb ( Crypt Axe base ) you need 55 OIas ( 20 + 20 + 15 ) to reach 6 FPA Fire Claw. With out any other Ias source and only weapon's 90 Ias you have 8 or 7 FPA ( can't remeber right now. )

On Werewolf off-weapon Ias doens't help us much bcoz skill itself " werewolf " adds attack speed. Only if you are low level Werewolf and you have slow base weapon with out any Ias, then some off-weapon Ias help you to reach next FPA bp, something like 12 -10 FPA or so.


Ahh t4i mate!

To add: (Made 1 quick in SP)
Off weapon ias doesnt help while in Shape-shift, right? and if it did.. Gloves+hlords already gives +40

Here a screenie of my just made FC druid lvl 95, using Ebotd Archon staff:

Inv is like:
4 shape skillers 45 life
4x 3 max/15 ar/20 life
9x 20 life/5 all res
20/20 torch+anni

About skills:
20 how
20 lycan
20 FireClaw
1 Shockwave
20 Fissure
1 Armegeddon
1 Grizzly
1 Feral Rage (needed for Fire Claw)
1 Maul (needed for Fire Claw)
1 Werewolf (needed for Lycan)
1 Raven, Dire Wolf, Spirit Wolf (needed for Grizzly)
1 Arctic Blast, Cyclone Armor, Twister, Tornado, Hurricane (needed for Armegeddon)
Rest in Fire Storm (was like 7 points)




mate... ^ LMK xD




seems kinda lowish damage, try 20 fireclaw and everything to synergy (1 shockwave, 1 lycanth 1 oak/how), no geddon unless it's free from pelt. You can pick up alot more damage this way and wont miss the life. With an inventory full of Shifter gc's it will be boosted high anyhow.







I'm going to +1 fireclaw who uses a more phy oriented type wep with a reapers might merc and something (no robo pbs) like etomb, botd gt, up'd shael ribby. Even aldurs set isnt to shabby for fc. The other screenie's here seem to have pretty low damage, both the phy portion and particularly the fire side.


I'd suggest 20 fireclaw, 1 lycath, 1 shockwave, 1 oak and everything else to synergy damage. With the amount of +skills you'll have those 1 pointers are like lvl 25 skills, ie more then adaquate. A pvm bear is such a safe character, particular with botd gt +shockwave that making your twinked character vita and dumping into lycanth is really a large damage loss for no real utility.

etomb hits a 6fpa fireclaw with something like 55 oias. And this is a etomb 2X 40%ed/15 ias jewels. Plenty fast, and totally worth it for the 2K-12K physical damage it adds in addition to your fire stuff. Throw on highlords and gores and you'll have ~50% DS.

The lowly derided Aldurs set, with a shaeled up mace its hitting 6fpa. That wep still has around 2K phy, which when paired with the reapers merc is enough for leaching and immunes. (not as strong as the other options vs fire immunes)



Fireclaw with a good wep is also incredibly bauce in pvm, and truth be told bears>wolfs @pvm@ awooooooO They have only a hair less phy damage then the wolves and free 15-17K fire damage ontop of that and shockwave.....silly little pups cant compete.



Botd GT on this Fireclaw bear with treachery jalas ias, highlords, gores, comparable amount of ds and cb as the other options builds. This was a constant... 6fpa iirc. Fort would have been much better, but alas this was a legit realm without FG and bots, so HR are much harder to come by. I'd have expected maul damage to then be pushed to 7K min and about 13-14 max (before deadly strike and charged up)





etomb FC bear

Well with Shape Skillers that could work, anyway i like more balanced Fire / Phys, so imo maxing HoW is kinda main priority, Fire element just boost some. I have always liked a Titan builds and once i get my ass whiped bcoz Werebear ran off too early, had only 1 point there xD After that i have maxed Lycanth always :D About Armageddon i agree, it's not main priority, more like one point wonder. Those skillpoints can as well spend to Firestorm example.

this indeed. i also prefer skillers over other charms because it adds skills to lycan and thus giving u more points into synergies. (i never max lycan lol)

one thing bothered me alot on ur post... its biggest fail ive seen from u ever...
