Hey,

i was looking at couple threads from different views, this is only for HC.

maxroll guide by darkhumility propose phoenix in pb/storm i really like this setup becasue for me stormshield is a beast ( DR).

I know fire druid damage is meh c tier build so you want to pack as many damage as possible but on hardcore i plan to level druid to 99 so stormshield looks tempting.

Other way around phoenix in shield is versatile becasue you use it on soso/java later on, on weapon is kind of wasted runes after i stop playing druid.

If you have any tips from expierenced hc druid players hit me. ( like ravenlore vs flickering flame )

i would stick with 30/30 weapon and phoenix monarch, even in hardcore

yea but playing around with phoenix pb+ storm cover your bases like hard hiting melee packs + ressistance. I feel like without storm you are so weak and low block.

Did anyone tried that setup before or does it feel wonky and not tested ? Iam not commenting on maxroll guide depth becasue they are really good.

the build is the same for hc as for sc

30/30
pheonix
nigma
arach
mages
2/20 ammy
fcr ring resists
soj
resist boots or aldurs

a2 defiance merc
FF
coh
infinity

going ss/pheonix wep is your choice. depend how good you are at staying alive but you lose A LOT of dmg with that setup

ok ty for your response i know fire druid damage is not as good as sorc
Ravenlore on druid, FF on merc?

Yep. The all res is nice and it makes firestorm do a lot more dmg which is your second best dmg skill.

I would say fire Druid is an a tier build, the dmg is actually quite good if you rotate your skills well. It is tiring on the hands to play for extended time periods though. I did 90-98 as cold Druid and 98-99 as fire. Fire is faster, cold is easier and safer. Cold can also be fast but you need to be selective about which TZs you do

2 questions
with 30/30 weapon+phoenix monarch full vita on stats + and how goes with skills ( i am playing on hardcore)

Max fire skills, 1 point oak, ravens, bear.

If you want to be more safe then just summon a full zoo of pets. On sc you don’t need pets even

All vita - enough str for gear
