2 questions
Does deadly strike work with the fire part or fire claw or just the physical

Second question
Anybody try out a 6 facets sword on a fire claw yet?

I’m thinking of making a fire claw Druid.


Gear

Flickering flame 2 Armageddon 2 fire claw 1 fissure
6 faceted crystal sword or a runemaster with some 15 ias and Lo
Phoenix shield
Fort
Dungo
Gloves 20 ias with 10 cb
Rings and amulet (depending on ds question)
Angelic combo ( ammy and rings )
Or
Hlords
And some ar, ll and ml rings I have

Not sitting in game so I really couldn’t tell you a skill point selection yet

Fire Claws (druid skill) only adds fire dmg to your attacks, so ds is only applied to the physical part
Fists of Fire (assasin skill) however converts physical dmg to fire, so ds is effectively applied to the elemental part here as well

I respect that. I honestly wanted to try something else and was curious if others had tried it. I have both and see the cookie cutter bread n butter is grief. Just was curious about the facet sword

Blizzard fucked the attack speed of werebear.
Ur best bet is to use a beast elite war scepter. Then u can add a grizzly with how for some physical dmg as well..

Beast in -10wsm scepter or axe = 39 EIAS + 40ias.
Grief pb = 30 eias + up to 40 ias.

110 ias pb is fine in a way, but u need over 1000 ias to reach 6 or 7 fpa without any fana or maul charge ups.

It will still be pretty bad. If u dedicate ur entire life to ias and eias gear, then u might reach like a 8-9 fpa attack, it used to be 4fpa just by using a robo blade.
