I love the guide, i think it would be pretty tight in pub's, but apparently a ton of ppl think that I don't know anything about my smiter that dominates 90% of D2Uwladder softcore, so what do i know...

This is a pub char for fun, I know your not gonna take out some of the top barbs, top pally's, but this can easily rape pubs and is overall my favourite char i have EVER made. I wish one day when I joined a pub I would see a melee sorc, ss druid, kicksin, and some other non-cookie cutter builds running around dueling.. Some people get tired of the same old thing and wan a new PvP experience, this is one build that will revive your love for PvP by giving you a new typpe of char you prolly havent used or even seen much WHILE still being able to take out ALOT of chars with ease.. BvC have always been easy for me in pubs especially, and even some of the "over the roof" BvC with perf gear that usually dom pubs were either getting knocked over or telling me my druid was very good.



Grief is stated, it's an alternate weapon to EbotdZ, and even Kiba favours it over ebotdz.. But i mysel am quite partial to it and cant give it up! I find it just best overall for pubs

Arach was stated for damage boost, it can raise it quite alot actually if you have ever tried it, just the syergy for rabies gives an extra 18% damage

Bloodfists are great gloves aswell, and should be switch in for Fury for sure, but in alot of duels rabies damage is ESSENTIAL, even with 60-65k damage people have chances to take rabies down alot which is why i love the extra damage!




Because often when dueling (especially in pubs) when attacking my wolf and not succeeding in ever hitting me, they will tele on me to try and get a free hammer, or fb, or orb in just because they think i'll die in one hit after a while they can catch on, but with practice you can easily avoid pretty much anything and it will be just another even battle

Ty guys and don't be scared away b/c of haters try someting new



Ahh.. sry i new i forgot something >< pretty simple though heres what you do:

Str: Enough to use gear
Dex: Enough for max block with SS
Vita: All else here
Mana: None ofc

Ha, not here as well![/QUOTE]


If you ever hit euro though, LMK![/QUOTE]
...where is the crafted belt option? arach is really useless for a melee druid you know ... Also grief is a great weapon and needs to be stated in this guide imo. It might be range 2 but it does have - poison res and such and it's a nice weapon when you prefer to have a cta on switch. 3) trangs gloves are SO OVERRATED! use bloodfists instead...[/QUOTE]

kiba aint a god or so, nor a wolf in the top 5 wolf players imo.

Thought I would point out that most of the credit for rabies damage, the rabies trick, posion creeper mat damage, etc. should go to electricblue for his extensive testing. His guide to the hybrid was also the first rabies/fury guide.

Also, rabies is not on a set 4 second timer as one user tried to post - it was in 1.07-1.09 but it can reach a 20 second or so timer now.

Another thing that you could note is that using spirit wolves, especially in combination with bramle (thorns) is good for causing ww barbs to hit check all around you, zealtos and other fury druids to split, and also negates any life leech they may be using (dracs, SoE).

life leech dont work pvp so wat u refering to there???

Life leech works vs summons. Many many BvCs use SoE/Dracs especially vs - you guessed it - wind druids, because you can leech both the summons and the oak sage. Many weapons also have life leech, and even some popular helm choices (arreats, andys). By using bramble, with its inherent thorns aura, you can negate life being leeched from your summons. I mention this because using spirit wolves is a great way to force extra hit checks vs. whirlwind, and to split other autotargeting melee attacks such as fury and zeal.


Something I also didn't catch earlier - Rog, your guide is geared towards fury moreso than rabies. This guide is more rabies heavy. To suggest using bloodfists to a person who already mentioned he favored bramble as an armor is silly - as jalals/bramble/verdungos together hit 90% faster hit recovery, making the need for bloodfists/crafted belt negligible. This maximizes rabies damage, by the ability to use trangs, without sacrificing fhr. Of course, this way of maximizing rabies damage doesn't maximize overall hitpoints, as you can pack on 600+ life by using bloodfists and a life/str crafted belt.

uh couple suggestions for when fightin a smiter, toss on your big 2 hander, shadow dancer boots, have a 12fhr ss charm and coa so you have max dr and hit highest fhr bp, you said these guys are easy... you musta never fought a good one. these are pretty much the hardest to kill besides fb sorc, and v/t

smiters are tough, when I get hit it knocks me back 20 feet it seems, cant even get a swing or anything off

i agree on you there(my bro wrote this stuff before), also bloods get you too much fhr together with bramble/jalalas etc~~

credits to ink for rabies switch

you described duel vs v/t pretty correct :| find it hardest duel of em all
