With the introduction of Metamorphosis helm, the best way to play is by Buff up in Bear đŸ» form then go đŸș Wolf form. If you’re okay with this then here’s the gear:

3 heart of Wolverine/3 Fury Metamorphosis
Highlords
Death Decap
Enigma or Fort
SoE
Laying on Hands
Gore Riders
Strength/Life rare rings

CTA on switch or Vigor Bow on switch, this depends on your playstyle.

Merc:
Hustle Weapon/Lawbringer
Hustle Armor
Life leech helm

Or
Act 2 Reapers Toll or Pride

Max dmg/AR/Life charms

Some people prefer Act 5 merc because with BoS procc, he can actually keep up. You can try Reapers Toll with Might but he probably fall behind. Pride has good range.

Fury/Heart of Wolverine/Lycanthrope/ lvl 31 Werewolf

If you don’t want to prebuff with Bear form, then a lvl 31 Werewolf with Champion Axe will do as well.

PS. You can directly switch between Bear and Wolf forms but before you had to connect with Human form.


There u go

Decp is slow to me. You need 138 IAS with lvl 30 Werewolf and lvl1 Fanat for the fastest attack. You'll need Faith or use Champion Axe instead.

There’s 38 TZ zones, only Chaos Sanc has Decrep and throne probability spawns it. Decrep is 1/5 curses. If you’re in a party, chances of you getting cursed is very low. Most people run Cure on merc anyway. If you’re playing solo, shit dies in 1 hit.

Since you cannot teleport, a simple switch of armor from enigma to treachery and you’re basically immune. Because Druids have twice the DPS of most melee build, your armor slot doesn’t matter, you’ll still slaughter.

PS. After actually playing a Fury, Decrep doesn’t remotely even affect the gameplay, it feels non existent.

Yes, that’s the setup I’m talking about, there’s so many players show casing gameplay on YouTube. Decrep doesn’t matter.

Death Decapitator (10) is too slow to my taste. This is what I want to express.

It still reaches one of the fastest ias BP. If you love Decrep so much, just use treachery after enigma.
