Eth tombreaver is ideal for 2 reasons:
It may be hard to build a viable setup, yet still have relevant resistsances.
It has good damage and ias required is easy to obtain.
It has +3 range adder, ideally is +4 rangeadder wepons, but +4 range adder wepons are hard to find with relevant stats. You have forexample eth giant tresher botd. But then you may experience it hard to obtain resists needed.
Grief BA + Stormshield is viable.
Grief pb + stormshield is viable, but not as much viable to due only +1 range adder.
When it comes to 2 handed weps its mainly theese:
Eth Tombreaver (advantages: Resists, high damage)
Eth botd Giant Tresher (advantages: -10wsm, +4 rangeadder)
Eth botd GPA (advantages: decent WSM, + rangeadder, slightly higher damage than giant tresher)
You should also consider if u gonna be pure walker, or actually be kinda tele based. And if u gonna have rabies or not. Rabies seems a little wierd and low in d2r.
I think it dont work as in d2lod if u unshape and teleport etc, it seems like you need to do the switchbug to dw side while ur in wolf shape, it also seems like unshaping makes rabies stop dealing damage, maby going offscreen does the same.
So rabies sucks now compared to d2lod.
There are also viable ctc builds and hybrid builds.
Then you have stuff like stormlash and earthshifter.
There is also metamorphosis to consider, but the bug which made mark of the bear permanent earlier i have heard has been patched. So 180 seconds is not very long. But mark of the bear is sick adds 20%DR and 25EIAS increase!
So lets look upon eth tombreaver first.
Lvl 38 werewolf seems like a reachable level.
This means u need:
* 95ias for 5+(3)+6 FPA
* 133ias for 4+(3+)+6 FPA
Tombreaver can give up to 100 ias(2 x shael) or 90 ias with 2 x 40/15 jool's.
HL = 20 ias
Then there is up to two ias jool's in helm, but cham/ber/Lo etc are all very viable helm socs....
90 + 20 + 30 = 140 ias, so you can reach that 133ias breakpoint with 2 x ias jool's in helm.
With lvl 50 werewolf which most likely aint reachable u would manage with 1 ias jool in helm.
Ofc if you are a pure walk, none rabies dude, there is 20ias to be found at gloves.
Then there is eth GT botd:
If you manage lvl 42 werewolf, then you can reach the 4+(3)+5 breakpoint at 99 ias.
The wep itself has 60, so you need 40 more. Which mean HL + Gloves or HL + 2 x ias jool's + nosferatus belt.
Else there is the 65 break which is 4+(3)+6. Which is fast enought, the last frame is not very important as its more important to land first hit early and to maintain a fast sequence.
Then there is eth GPA botd:
This one needs 68 for 5+(3)+6 and 95 for 4+(3)+6 and 142 for 4+(3)+5.
It's also worth noting that many enemies slows you for 10%, and nec slows you for 50% and some bm people slows you for 25-35%.
Use warren ias calc to figure out how u want to build.
There is ofc other viable wepons which most likely dont even exists:
Eth giant tresher:
450ed (530ed after soc)
250ar
40ias (70ias after soc)
5ctc amp
self rep
Here is a typical tele setup:
2dru/20fcr/30frw/visio/2soc/add: Cham + 15ias/15@
Eth tombreaver 360ed/90ias/50@ ///// Grief BA 400/40 + Stormshield (30ed/-15req/10@/add)
Enigma MP or smt
arach / Dungo
Gore riders / Infernostrides
HL
10fcr/1xx ar/15-20str/10-15dex/8-11@/add like single res or mana or none.
Wisp / Raven / Dwarf / carrions / bk
Trang oul's
Here we reach 68fcr, we have shit fhr.
We have on eth tomb: 5+(4)+6 when slowed up to 17% slow.
We have on eth tomb: 5+(3)+6 when not slowed
We have on grief ba: 5+(4)+7 when slowed up to 16% and the same when not slowed.
As you can see there is many scenarios to figure out:
Which breakpoint, what when slowed? What when slowed vs golem? What when 1 handed + shield.
Should i constant use a raven to be able to use 2 x ias jool's in helm, and possible 1 in stormshield as well?
What werewolf lvl can I actually reach?
Do i want to have a telebuild, or do i want too lose vs most caster?
Find your none wep gear first, then choose ur wepon type and ur socet setup depending on what you need of res and ias and socets and such.
