This build would be perfect with a +2 druid +xArmageddon, +3 fireclaws ,2 socket, life, fhr pelt. I have seen a couple in my time. Most people probably toss them out though. but there are some serious benefits to saving stat points from hard skilling FC.
Things I would do with this build:
As many facets as you can...
2 facet pelt, 4 facet 100 life armor, facet storm, 3 facet 3 15/15 phase blase, 4 facet monarch for hammer/necros - or if you're really cool a 3 socket rare with life and resistances and maybe deflecting
42% fhr breakpoint - easy to hit with bloodfists, verds, 10 fhr rare boots (if you get fhr on pelt you can go with whatever - spurs maybe)
1 pt oak and lycan - 7k life is easy to hit like this, 8k is doable.
22k+ fireclaws damage. 28k is where it maxes out.
I personally agree that 8 frame attack is fine - it's faster than zerk is.
The beauty of this build is that you can fully synergize fissure - and although you won't be using elemental skill charms, it will still break 4k damage per vent with -50%+ to fire res, and if you use an armageddon pelt you can synergize volcanos physical element out as well, meaning you have two very viable ranged attacks, an immensely powerful melee attack, and balls of geddon falling around to keep people from getting too close or chasing you. Even with just a +geddon pelt you can break 4-5k damage per boulder. You don't need it to do crazy damage.
But does geddon hit often enough to be worth loosing 2k life?
