yea good point, with more damage I guess you'd heal more anyway ^^

And well on East I dunno if DuDU will rage man, more reslish the prospect pf trying to run u outtta arrows/mana in marathon duels.


Yep this is favorite tactic of east ^^^^^

Maybe so, haven't really kept track of all the bugged items, so I dunno which bases they have. I'll never be rich enough to afford them anyway, and the dont appear in priv realms so I dont really plan so many builds with them ^^


i wish you were wrong... but a lot of times that 100% what it is

This is true but the standard build is hard pressed to drop 20%ias off gloves
That little bit of time between 8fpa and 7fpa is important for moving when you need to as a druid is stomping

There is a noticable and huge difference in ability to *move out of the way* between 8fpa and 7fpa
You could probably pull it off using Jeweler's of Whale though
Just keep 7fpa, 8fpa won't cut it vs very good druids


You're using non GMB setups, there's no reason you can't fit in a Dracul's setup.

It's all about condensing gear swaps that are effective & practical vs. everything, not just one thing
If you use too much space on a druid setup, then you can't fit shit else for other more general setups, this is the big problem
So you sort of have to condense what is important to give that extra edge vs a class but don't go too far with swaps that aren't as important
Or you end up with a bunch of shit that rare gets used and wish you had invested in other more common swaps
To have a a fully furnished zon swap box... you sort of need a full-mule entirely dedicated to it, a single stash setup isn't enough

If Diamond Faith of Ice existed, it would by far be the best Bow
Dracul's could become common play at this point...
But honestly, a bowa would get a class ban on the use of Dracul's so fast it isn't funny with this setup
You'd never kill her due to high damage ranged, everyone would bitch in a hurry
Lightning Fury/Shield Side would essentially turn into: ROFL HEAL PHASE

The only reason Tap is tolerated on melee is because it's easy to get away from melees if you really have to
Guided Arrow & Multi Shots, not so much

You said Zons were hard pressed for glove IAS. I just simply stated that's not true with non GMB using Zons, not that it was practical or possible to have a 100% counter setup or as close to it as possible for every situation.

All kinna depends on what javs you have tho, if you have 40 ias matri's then you aren't rele hard pressed for ias.

Without this tho, its a bit of a problem ( altho apparently eth rep 40 ias matri's are far more common outside eu I believe ..?).

Used to be
But here in the final days, they're impossible to find
Even good high damage rares withought IAS are virtually impossible to find

Drac zons will never seriously be considered bm, you can just wait until it wears off, zons have 0% offensive threat.

Well thats a bit bad for your build then, as your build sorta requires to have 20 ias on javs.

But yea if u dont have any ias on javs then you really cant skimp on bowslot ias as then you end up with less jav speed, you can make up for it by using a JMOD with 2 * 40 ed 15 ias jewels and 2 ber's I guess tho.
