might come around to trying a fire dru for the first time. hc solo since pubs are dangerous and this guy don't trust like that.

curious on what the best way to go about solo leveling is. skills? when to respec, what to respec to?

I've got some decent low level gear, spirit, lore, hustle etc. so it's not all ssf if that makes a difference.

thanks
sincerely, a noob

Volcano + Armageddon + moulten boulder packs quite decent physical damage boosted only by skill level.
Having a merc, a grizzly and some zoo comes quite handy as well.
Meanwhile shockwave is extreamly good for crowd control in pvm, however fireskills costs a lot of skillpoints...

Fissure best aoe, firestorm food vs bosses cuz 3 waves can hit. Volcano also single target. Armageddon is extra damage.

Imo Fissure is #1 spell for Fire Druid cause the vents are bigger than blizzard and it can deal massive damage.

thanks for the input guys. I've got a pretty clear idea on how it works post 75, but is fire the way to go from the start?

fastest/most efficient solo build(s) 1-75?

Fire is way better than wind to start

Fire is usually superior up to mid nightmare when you start to see a lot of FI, if you already have a sunder and ideally something to lower a bit their resistances (you could even find a lower resist charges wand from a vendor) you can go fire all the way.

Put points into firestorm as you level until fissure then pump fissure and synergies until act 4 nightmare.

After that you should either respec to wind until you get some solid -res gear and sunder or max the physical fire skills to deal with immunes like gel said. The physical dmg from fire skills is quite lacklustre though and prioritizing those skills with hamstring your fire dmg from fissure. It will be quite painful working through hell if solo unless you only do p1-5

I've just tried Poison Creeper. All you need to do is running. Shooting arrows with Raven Claw helps as always.
