How important is the frw on the druid? I see you didn't add but a lot of people use that

Also what about the 29 life rep on the wind druid? Are there limits to this, and how much does it matter?

Is 163/65 pelt and branch build really that much worse?

You won’t be running much it fpk with Druid since if you do that barb will just 1 shot you pretty much. If you can get it on your circ go for it but don’t give up health to get it in this case.

Pelt would be mostly fine except you wouldn’t be using a LoLo pelt for literally any other situation not to mention it can make getting resistances a bit harder without giving up something else. Pelt is almost never the best option on a wind Druid outside of making the difference to specific life “breakpoints” in very specific situations.

Thank you for the thoughtful response

I am very curious by what you mean by "life breakpoints" and for what edge case


Is that like... having high life vs nec so that I dont take enough % damage to cause FHR animation when hit?

I currently have a pelt/branch build (163/65) and am at 8600 life. Am curious what the life breakpoints would be for that build

But ya totally agree - the Lo/Lo circ, better resists and being able to take less dmg from the traps would be more important than optimizing against the nec

Yea that’s the main instance. The breakpoint is around 4100 life without oak to decrease your chance of being fhr’d but even in that case I’d recommend going obsession + circ instead of pelt+ sbranch so that you can maintain higher frw.

But yea nn to optimize vs necro in tpk. Very few situations are going to come down to a 1v1 vs you and a necro and even in that case frw is a nice bonus to have not a necessity at all

On the druid, is 2x Lo Circlet & BK better than 1x Lo Circlet and Wisp? What about vs trapper 1v1?
