Its very creative and well designed. If i ever made a shaper, this would be it.

imo one of the big fun parts of this project is the totally freaking attack speed of this char,
that youre not using.

with your setup and lvl 99 your druid would do:

6956 - 7980 (ø7468) armageddon
12271 - 13497 (ø12884) fireclaws

with no facets.

as you mentioned correctly, 6 sox pb is the way to go.
but by only putting 45 ias inside, youre dropping so many frames.

45 ias : 4.1 attacks / sec
108 ias ( 4 shael, 2* 15 15@) : 6.2 attacks / sec

example armageddon with facets: 7468+15% = 8588,2
example fireclaws, with facets and 45 ias: 14816,6 damage * 4.1 attacks / sec : 60748,06

now no facets, but full ias:

example armageddon, without facets 7468 damage
example fireclaws, with facets and 108 ias: 12884 damage * 4.1 attacks / sec : 79880,8

=> armageddon you lose 1k damage on random hits.
with FCs you do 20k ( !!!!) more damage, thats roughly a damage gain of absolute 31%


the facets would be really strong with high fire res enemes, such as in duels, but in duels youre cannon food with a FC bear anyway.
most chars will rape you, so its a really fun PvM char. most enemies in hell are either FI or dont have any res at all.

if you include the enemy res, and assume most hell monsters have 0 fire res, the -15% enemy res from facets brings you another 15% damage,
but the 6.2 attacks per second are still 16% more damage in that case, and the speed is way more fun ^^


so my choice of weapon is surely

cheap: 120 ias (shael'd pb)

or a little more exquisite:

4*shael: 80 ias
2*15 ias 15@: 30 ias

= 110 ias = max speed




FC is your main damage source, jalals +4 fireclaws, ar str def etc. better choice

Nigma or coh?

Enigma, less strength points used means more vitality.

Nice guide, I can see this working well for PvM, but not so much in PvP.

and wat if u cant afford a maras wat ammy works god?

N1 !

Why enigma? You can't tele as bear anyway. May as well use a CoH since it gives GG resists, skills, DR and 20 str. Ravenlore seems like a good idea as well. Don't you want -25% enemy fire resists since your main attack is fire-based?

#1 frw
#2 shaper not fire ele druid, see stats again

hi guys !
i gotta question about pure fcwb. ( didnt find better place to ask xD )
i never had a hybrid shaper, but i once had a pure fcwb, kept the stuff and now i am gonna remake it i think ... but i will go for fc only i think.

is it better to boost pure demage ( syns of fc )
or is it in ur opinion better to add som skills in lycantrophy ?




ty in advance.


edit: i myself like cat`s eye really much for the bear. we lack of frw anyway ... can i use frw skiller or u think thats crap ?
