Yo,

Having some fun planning some builds for mark of the bear.
Mark of the bear is bugged:
The effects last extreamly long and is usable in human shapes as well.
25% skill ias + 20% DR.

Remade somewhat my telezeal here.
Skill distribution is @ lvl 99:
max fana
max HS
8 smite
8 charge
max zeal
max sacrifice
1 prayer, cleans, defianse, vigor
1 foh

NN to search for ias slots now for max ias with grief BA. Mark of the bear is 25% skill ias.
NN to search for ias slots now for widowmaker. Mark of the bear and ur at 9 fpa with 0 ias.

This character charge, smite and zeal the fuck out of anything. Some people like hammers might like to defwhore vs it... That will be punnished with widowmaker in combination with waiting for the perfect strike.
I used Grief of doom as mine was at D2lod, and bug belt. Mark of the bear fixes the 20% DR and 10%ias i miss from bugbelt.
2 x fcr rings + arach and ur ready to hunt sorcs with 75fcr.
Griffon cham and ur ready for most with 75fcr as well in combi with arach.

But this build don't need intense speed. It's more about picking ur time.

Very easy to convert to murder din ofc. Use fortitude for that, possible even tele charget's diadem. Spirit can be used as well as 2/20 ammu since we have no ias problems.

I'll add some more previous builds:
Brawler barb (Strong throw, decent wirl and zerk).

Bearsin with bladeshield as supplement and blade fury as ranged options:

Melee sorc:
It does not need the mark of the bear, but it can help

Loads of fun hybrid and ctc druid builds who abuse metamorphis:

More will come. Has been looking at JAB + Plague zon. Cause JAB is sequence attack with 30wsm penalty, and mark of the bear removes 25% of that penalty.

Well since i already made it JABZON + With 50k plague javelin and fury/bolt as ranged options:

It has: 3,666666667 fpa jab.

Pretty much any build where u had issues with ias and DR% is now better.

Okay, here is an really strong and flexible 3hybrid amazon utulizing mark of the bear:

99fcr setup:
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/tr011n4q

Light pierce setup:
You can swap either raven or wisp for a 10fcr ring to maintain 68fcr. Or you can stay on the 48fcr break.

Regular setup, with stormshield and 68fcr:
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/f0010nqz

Pheonix Max Physical damage setup and 68fcr:
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/bf010nys

None mark of the bear setup:
I would skill valkyrie if none mark precast to have a meat shield since we can't use wisp in this if we want all the other stats:

Do you wear Metamorphosis all the time, or only at specific times? I know nothing about this runeword, but didn’t see the Maxroll characters wearing it.

You can wear all the time or you can precast it.
