been having great results on ladder but still feels bad to run into a game full of phys chars you can't use bear again (ie bvc) and not have a max block / dr setup with 9x ele gcs
plenty of stash space but having to token for those duels feels back. Switching hotkey for oak/wolves makes it playable and you really want to trap a barb in facet fissures when possible, but unless he's stacking hard a 30/30 + facet ravenlore + facet (or ber?) storm should be enough. And I'm still really on the fence about whether shockwave is worth -3 HoW or even Lycan for -5, because there are definitely matchups where I should be winning easily but have to play cat an mouse with an ES sorc for minutes of teleport-into-their-blind-spot-with-bear which is always risky. One sw+volcano would end that.

I dont think shockwave is worth it personally, I'd ditch it entirely. Glad to hear about your results Goomy

Pure Grizzly Bonus Skill Build:

Sometimes I'll re-skill my druid and go the pure grizzly route. I'm not going to focus much on this as it's pretty self explanatory.
Volcano locks+Bear stomps rinse repeat. A telestomp grizzly is much cooler than a townguard grizzly, trust me.

20 Spirit Wolf
20 Dire Wolf

20 Grizzly
20 HoW
1 Point Cyclone Armor
Additional points into Volcano


i personally find these two synergies a little bit useless

so i like to use maxed grizzly only



my last experiment was:

20 grizzly
20 how

20 fissure
20 firestorm
20 volcano

along with reapers/might merc it was some kind of fire/phys hybrid

(thats for pvm though)

If maintaining the Shaman hybrid then yeah I agree with your skill choices.
As far as pure grizzly goes, what I listed is going to be best for your grizzly. It's more of a troll build kind of like a town guard grizzly, but it's pretty strong stomping out casters.
