no mention of duress or blood belt? What about gore riders? is there really a better choice vs melee than gores?
Also not exactly sure for a fireclaws but on a werewolf p rubys add more life than jah.
nice guide
edit-
really though, for this to be stickied i think you should talk about open wounds, sure it's not the best in pubs probobly but if you are gm dueling ft 5 etc vs melee or ww or hammers... open wounds is going to help you more than ias, resistance, a little bit more life or even in some cases additional fire damage. I don't really know but i bet that draculs adds more damage than mage fists.

I didn't read anything about a 20-20 fire monarch vs. stormshield.

Vs. anything non-melee I have had great success with the monarch.

nb but it's hard to hit stuff with a pb, i would not want to sacrafice insane melee range of the giant thresher. The range helps with desynch it appears to me.

Tbh I think duress is a complete waste unless you're very poor :/ the only way it can be viable is if you have a complete ow switch of gear to make up for the loss of strength from un-equipping enigma. Only then would I ever talk about using a duress, this being said it's actually a viable switch of gear since you can gain a large amount of strength with an ow switch, but to me it wouldn't really be worth it since I never like to run away from my opponents with my bear.. It's just not my playstyle and I do it enough on my rabies druid :/

HOWEVER, I would recommend and OW belt 100%, but it's going to really be hard to find one that has all the str/fhr/life that is easily obtainable on a rare belt. Dracs are another story though, normally I would recommend them but in my experience when using dracs 60% of the people you duel will complain about lifetap, and that gets very annoying for me.

Basically OW to me just isn't worth it unless your going to be using a whole ow setup, I don't ever plan my duels to last long

~This isn't saying not to have an OW switch, hell I might incorporate one into my own build. but since it's my personal opinion :/

secondly

Prubies do add more than a jah but in shields Jah gives 50 life, Prubies give fire res AND prubies only give 38 life even when in helms so its a really good socket choice
