fury/rabies are way more versatile for the simple fact that they can kill people by only attacking once which is very helpful against casters, you dont have to keep chasing them down and smacking them lol


Yeah fury/rabies is gg. But I don't really agree that fury druids are the best in gm melee. Zealots imo are the best followed by barbs and then furies.

I think zealots (I'm theorycrafting here sad.gif) gain tons over other melee builds through use of their Exiles, without them their effectiveness drops by a lot.

Very true, in gm melee duels zealers are required to remove exile for all duelers that dont use tap, i.e. FURY DRUID smile.gif

i didnt say they were the best, i said they have the potential to be the best. A good fury druid has more than enough ar to hit through a zealot's/conc barb's def, more damage than both of them and more life, the only thing is fury is interuptable but thats what fhr is for smile.gif

To answer the original question, honestly I think fury druids would be the best melee build, if built right with the right gear they have the potential to kill all other melee builds, including smiters, although smite is not melee. They are also capable of killing almost every other build except necros, but maybe that is just a personal weakness of mine =/


A full strenght melee sorc is capable of killing almost every build too except it ain't realistic

Anyone can sorb, that doesn't mean shapeshift druids are good; you can desynch with a shaper on someone that's standing still maybe; if i can read a paladin desynch i can sure as hell read your druidic synch.
And no , i only argue with shapeshifter fans.. it is NOT viable in high skilled duels. Quit dreaming and just sleep quietly, gn.

that is right any one can sorb...and any one can make a c/c caster and claim to be godly...casters arent hard to use, tele spam tele spam, im assuming thats your dueling strategy or at least it would be against a half decent fury druid. You arent good get over yourself.
